"Deception is deceiving"
True happiness does not depend on external things. Not with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, objects. Don't live with material things and money. Not with that person, with this person. But in the heart that does good, abandons sin, cleanses greed, anger, and delusion until it is gone. Make your heart happier. There is less suffering. Until it's finally gone. Doing good and avoiding sin are the fruits of wisdom. Is the correct opinion.
It's called right view.
See that only doing good deeds. Only not sinning that will make us happy. Make us have no suffering.
Therefore we must create wisdom. Because if we just do good and avoid sin it does not create wisdom to eliminate delusion. When you die and leave this life, you will be able to forget it.
When you are reborn, if you go to live in a society that only commits sin, we don't do good things, we will do it because we are influenced by society.
But if you have already strengthened your intellect shows that there are reasons for doing good and not sinning. Because it makes us happy and no suffering.
You don't have to look for happiness outside.
We will always do good and refrain from sin.
If there is passion, it will trick us into finding happiness from outside. It will be difficult for us to do good. It is easy to do evil and sin.
Therefore, wisdom must be created. So you won't go and seek happiness from outside, from various things and people, instead will seek happiness within the heart.
By keeping your mind calm to stop delusion that causes greed and desire. When there is no greed, there will be no anger. Because anger arises when things aren't as desired.
When we want something and someone else blocks it, we become angry.
The root of all problems lies in this delusion. I don't know where true happiness lies. See that happiness is outside lives with external matters. So we ran to each other.
Wisdom cannot keep up with our delusion and stupidity that is smarter than the Buddha's wisdom. So it serves as a guide.
Instead of going to the temple often We return to the temple a little, and visit often.
The main goal of approaching Buddhism is to create right view. To form correct opinions that true happiness lies within the heart.
Because external things are not true happiness but only causes suffering. It's chaotic these days. It's because of external things.
The body is suffering. You have to take care of yourself, you have to be afraid, you have to worry abd concern about your body.
One pile of suffering is not enough. Still looking for more suffering. Find a partner to add another pile of suffering. And then you will have children who will be in trouble again.
It's all suffering. If considered with wisdom,
You will see that there is only suffering.
Infatuation tricks us into wanting things.
Makes us revolve around death and rebirth in samsara.
Revolving around in the world of lusts for the most part. Because it is attached to images, sounds, smells, tastes, and objects. It revolves around the search for sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and objects.
Come drink, come experience, and bring happiness.
Because if you just stay at home, you will get bored.
Seeing the same, repetitive images makes me bored.
You have to constantly go out and experience strange new images.
When someone invites you to travel, It feels like a fish getting water. Immediately rejuvenated. But if anyone invites you into this temple has to be pulled many times
There must be an activity, a merit-making event, a charity event in order to go. If you go sit and close your eyes and pray. I don't really want to go.
Go find happiness within your heart. You can't go back because you're not good at it.
You're good at finding happiness from outside.
