The Famous Gatha By The Sixth Sect Hui Neng...
We sitting upright when we are alive
We lie down when pass away
The body is originally a set of skeleton

A rich man asked a Zen master to write something down that could encourage the prosperity of his family for years to come. It would be something that the family could cherish for generations.
On a large piece of paper, the master wrote, "Father dies, son dies, grandson dies."
The rich man became angry when he saw the master's work. "I asked you to write something down that could bring happiness and prosperity to my family. Why do you give me something depressing like this?"
"If your son should die before you," the master answered, "this would bring unbearable grief to your family. If your grandson should die before your son, this also would bring great sorrow. If your family, generation after generation, disappears in the order I have described, it will be the natural course of life. This is true happiness and prosperity." -
The Blessed Buddha once said to Anathapindika:
Whoever, householder, has not overcome five terrible evils, such one is without morality, is without control and will be reborn in hell.
And what are those five terrible evils?
They are killing, stealing, sexual abuse, lying, and taking intoxicants. But whoever has overcome these five terrible evils, such one is pure, well controlled and will be reborn in a happy world. One who is doing these 5 things, creates both present, and future extreme misery, and will thus experience much mental pain & regret! One who abstains from these 5 things produces neither any present, nor any future misery, nor will he experience mental pain or grief. Such terrible evil is thus eliminated by him and extinguished in him...

"Greed is an imperfection that defiles the mind;
hate is an imperfection that defiles the mind;
delusion is an imperfection that defiles the mind."
~ The Buddha ~ -
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.
~ Ajahn Chah ~ -
