Others did not create the obstacles in our lives.
So, before speaking or acting, we need to ask. “Can I live wih the consequences?”
Who we are is not determined by what we have.
It is determined by what we think and do.
A karmic consequence is not punishment. It is simply a natural result.
To solve problems we need to work on the cause, not the result.
Comparing ourselves to others is pointless… because we all have different combinations of karmic causes and consequences.
If a thought arises of, “Had I only known, I could have helped,” remember three things:
Such thinking will surely bring sorrow, the person’s life unfolded as their karma destined, and you can still help.
Chant “Amituofo” and dedicate the merits to all who suffer.
When about to complain, remember, “That’s my karma!”
When bad things come, don’t shoot the messenger.
He’s merely delivering what we sent.
To know what you did in the past, look at your life today.
To know what your future will be, look at what you are doing today.
