Dhamma for Lifestyle (26)

Find Liberation

A sinful man is like a poisonous tree which will injure every one who lean on it.
Transgressors are like frost-bitten peas and spoiled fat that will ruin every thing.
Samsara is like a poisonous thorn in a flesh. The poison will increase and spread if not pulled out.
The law of Karma is like Samsara wheel. Whoever breaks it will suffer a great loss.
You will feel much pain, if misfortunes attack you.
Pleasure are precarious like bathing in the sun.
The woes of life succeed one another, like the sea's incessant waves_one has barely passed, before the next one takes its place.
Until you are liberated, pain and pleasure come and go at random, like passerby encountered in the street.
Liberation mean peacefulness.
Peasants cultivate crops in the fields.
Like wise, meditators develop Dhamma knowledges.
Precisely, striving hard is the only way to have Liberation.
