Growth

There is only one thing that gets only worse throughout our life, and that is our own physical health. Everything else can either get better or worse. The value of our human being then lies in developing those things that can be developed, when our ever declining physical health still provides us with time remaining. The most important of those things to be developed is of course our own strength of character, of which stillness of mind is its essence.

Language

If a language is not appropriate to use for the Dhamma, then the usage of that language must be changed, not the choice of it.

Chance

"We have the chance to attain the Buddha (within), to see the Buddha everyday. In one single day we have the chance to attain many times. Every time we remember the Buddha, we have the chance to see the Buddha. Every single time."
Lp Dhammajayo, 12 July B.E. 2546

Technology

When using technology, make sure you tell it what to do. Don't let technology tell you what to do.

เฉย คือ อะไร

* เป็นมิตรกับทุกประสบการณ์
* ทำตัวเหมือนท่อ ให้ความคิดผ่านไปเหมือนน้ำ
* ไม่มีมันสมอง
* ไม่รู้ ไม่ชี้
* เราเป็นเพียงผู้ชม ไม่ใช่ผู้บังคับ
* ไม่ยินดี ยินร้าย
* เหมือนเมฆลอยบนท้องฟ้า หรือนกบินไป
* เหมือนผู้เจนโลก ผ่านประสบการณ์มามาก

Only the present

In meditation there must only be the present. No past and no future.

The golden rule of cultural adaptation

The more you know and understand about a culture you're living in, the more you can be yourself in that culture. The more you understand the other, the more you can be yourself.
