Gone with the wind (or) transience

The time is arriving to start the Second World War. Now, I live in India and have married an Indian man. I have five children with him -two girls and three boys. But, I often remember my native country, my old lover and my royal palace where I was born and grew up. Actually, I am royalty and very special person from my holy family according to our Burmese tradition. when I was young in royal Burma , there were always many people who look after me ,the royal people who help me and a lot of young females who were attendants of my parents surrounded me. I can never forget the golden slipper which I wore on my feet in my past time, the royal orchid that I adorned on my head, the golden building with the tiered roof where I lived. Especially, I always miss my native country, royal Burma and a royal monastive school boy who was my old lover.

After third Anglo-Burma war in 1888, it seemed to be peaceful in Burma. But,press here for more

YOU, TIGER or QUOI

You know that you are a human being. But still, you don’t know what the responsibilities of human being are. So, you ought to check your life at first. When you were born in the world, you brought a perceptive brain with your body structures into your life. Then, you exist, you live with these body structures life in the world. Then, you had an idea that you are human being who can bring many things to this world by your own energies. You must do more to reveal the very deep responsibilities in your life, for all beings and more than other creature because you as a human being have the highest intelligence and great strength. Actually, you have more strength than a tiger which is strongest among the animals. You have the ability to abstain from being cruel like a tiger, to be a good person by the strong noble energies.

A Little More Heed

While we are living as human beings, we show daily,
the two main activities in our speech and behaviors. Both speech and
the behaviors are very useful for us in everyday. So, we need to take
care of these two actions to be right in our society. Those two
activities are managed by our mind, it is sure. Hence, we need to
refrain and control our mind, occurring in the normal process of an
event. Then, we must heed to our mind. Thrust, only our
speech and our behaviors will be right and good for everything.
At the first, shall we check our behaviors that we always
do in everyday since we wake up, till we sleep. We are doing our duties
and our responsibilities along with our life within these difficult
behaviors. At the time of behaving, we don’t have the awareness
in most of the actions. Therefore, between our mind and our
behaviors, there are no connections for being together. For that, we may
get the more profitless time in our life. Although it is not important
whether to get the profit from our time or not, for us, it is very
dangerous for our surroundings, as the result of the wrong
activities going on. That’s why..press here for more

I AM MY MOTHER’S SON (or) I AM A SON OF MOTHERLY EARTH

People live on Earth until they die. They take care of their lives by drinking water, eating good food from the Earth for a life time.

The kind Earth treats and takes care of everybody who lives on her body. And then, the earth is one of the heavenly bodies that always avails the sunlight through her constant rotation. Thus, human beings survive and also it produces air by rotating herself around the sun. Hence, we should recognize her as our mother. Shall we call and name her as motherly Earth or my motherly Earth?

My motherly Earth provides me with air as my source of breath and food since birth. After having the air, I am in touch with the human life at first. On the other hand, my motherly earth provides me some water for me when I am thirsty.  Also she wraps me with the sunshine to keep me warm.

When I feel hot, she sends the breeze to…press here for more

Cross the Rubicon

We are struggling for living on the stage of the world all our life because we are human beings. Although sometimes our life is on the smooth path, it will be on the rough path at another time. Actually, I am a human being, so I have to face both of these situations. I usually have social and mental circumstances that are very difficult in my life. Even if I am in this situation, I must overcome all these situations all along my entire life. Especially, I not only need to clear them successfully from my life but I should also strive to escape from them.

In my life, I always was frightened and threatened by eight enemies which are GAIN and LOSS, REPUTE and DISREPUTE, PRAISE and BLAME, HAPPINESS and MISERY. Let us call these enemies as the…press here to read more

Let me see your eyes, if so, I am blessed

If the world would be left in the darkness forever, what would remain?

Because eyes-sense disappears among people when they cannot see, I think there would be people in lack of consideration (compassion, understanding?) covering the world. When creatures are making friends with each other, they use their eyes-sense as the main connection. When two people are seeing each other mutually, they can exchange their feelings too. In the same way, with the act of looking at one’s eyes one can know the feeling of another’s mind (such as happiness, sorrow, ect.) as well.

Of the parts of the body, the eyes can send and show more indications of one’s mind than most other parts of the body. They can show delusion as well as hate-consciousness, love-consciousness and greed-consciousness in the mind which is reflected by…press here to read more
