026-Great things come .... - Buddhism in daily life

Great things come ....

Great things usually come about very slowly, they develop over a period of time, they don't "just appear".

Good things take time, as the saying has gone for centuries. And even in our youth, we heard from our mothers that we should "go slowly" and proceed thoroughly.

When great things come into being, time goes like the waves, slowly events land on the beach of life.

When we look at history, we notice that events have begun far in advance, building on many circumstances that accumulate to a conclusion.

If we are honest then we can predict developments, "see" many things that develop as our future. But most of the time we prefer to suppress the things that develop, namely when these prospects frighten us.

Those who are honest with themselves, who we can notice such things before they arise, will achieve clarity, and live more contentedly.

What about the Buddha's teaching, is it also such a "big thing" that is emerging? Over the centuries, the teaching of the great teacher has constantly changed, at some times followed by many followers, in other periods, his words were almost forgotten.

In today's troubled world, his example offers people support and orientation, a spiritual harbor. All those who have turned away from the beliefs of the forefathers, who are searching for answers, they have found such a "big thing", which is in the process of development, which offers real solutions, and does not just shift the responsibility to a "higher power", without looking for answers themselves.

Buddhism is such a big thing that is slowly emerging. Right now you're thinking about whether maybe there's "something to it"?

What do you think about it? How do you feel about the Buddha's teaching?

The philosophy of the great teacher could become that which can offer help and content to people.

If more would live according to his teaching, the world would be a better place.

Everyone can do their part for our future, the question is which way we will choose.

We have experienced bad things, last year was terrible.

When life is bad, meditate; when life is good, meditate more!

It is not the things themselves that worry people, but the opinions and the judgments about the things

- Epictetus - Greek philosopher - 50 to 138
