Dear All, I disappeared again though there were quite a few books I've read with some thinking to share ka.
Anyway, this will be what has popped up these days na ka.
My sharing is, 'Proud to be a Buddhist and a Thai?'
The more I've read, the more proud I've become.....with more worries, unfortunately ka.
An article summarized by Soundview from a book entitled, '5 Habits to Lead from Your Heart' by Johnny Covey caught my attention right away. I thought that we've seen much more often that 'farangs' continue talking about 'heart' when Thais have more than 700 'heart words' in our language and our 'traditions'.
The author discusses several issues that struck my heart ka. He was talking about how we made progress reacting to our 'present'. It led me to our Buddha's teaching on 'living every day in the present'.
It seems that we, Thais, tend to feel very proud of our Buddha's teaching and of our 'heart'-oriented traditions. The 'ACT' part is lacking and it could fade away as time goes by, particularly in this digital era where speed and money rule the life agenda ka.
In any case, let me also share the 5 habits ka:
- Be courageous to make decisions
- Be 'YOU'
- Be 'Present'
- Be restored moving from past to present ka
- Be a conscious creator-- 'take actions' na ka
This is only a summary so what's missing is how these 5 habits relate closely to the heart-oriented leading!
My own summary is to 'listen to your heart' and 'react sensibly', following what our Nailuang King Rama IX repeatedly stressed in his speeches: life-long learning, academic knowledge, critical thinking, discipline, and responsibilities ka!
A laugh of the day? Translators and teachers sure can keep their careers for some good years ka.
I accidentally clicked translation on a friend's facebook page. She was telling us about her visit to a 'งานวัดฝรั่ง', which is a 'temple fair' organized by foreigners. The google translation was, 'Work wat gum' ka!
Didn't get it why 'gum', not 'guava' kaaaa! 555555!
Happy long weekend ka!
