KAMMA...
-
When those who do not understand the Dhamma act improperly, they look all
around to make sure no one is watching. But our
kamma is always watching. We never really get away with watching.
-
Good act bring good result, bad actions bring bad result. Don't expect the gods
to do thing for you, or the angels and guardian deities to protect you, or the
auspicious days to help you. These things aren't true. Don’t believe in them.
If you believe in them , you will suffer. You will always be waiting for the
right day, the right month, the right year, the angles or the guardian deities.
You'll only suffer that way. Look into your own actions and speech, into your
own kamma. Doing good, you inherit goodness, doing bad you inherit badness.
-
Through right practice, you allow your old kamma to wear itself out. Knowing
how things arise and pass away, you can just be aware and let them run their
course. It is like having two trees: if you fertilize and water one and do not
take care of the other, there is no question which one will grow and which one
will die.
-
Some of you have come from thousands of mile away, from Europe and America and
other far-off places, to listen to the Dhamma here at Nong Pah Pong monastery.
To think that you've come from so far and gone through so much trouble to get
here. Then we have these people who live just outside the wall of the monastery
but who have yet to enter through its gate. It make you appreciate good kamma
more, doesn't it?
-
When you do something bad, there is nowhere you can go to hide. Even if others
don’t see you, you must see yourself. Even if you go into a deep hole, you'll
still find yourself there. There's no way you can commit bad actions and get
away with it. In the same way, why shouldn't you see your own purity? You see
it all - the peace, the agitation, the liberation, the peace, the bondage we
see all these for yourself.
