Part of the beauty of a practitioner is the correct practice, and from a practitioner’s point of view, the correct practice is to reflect upon oneself, see oneself, make the distinction between what is right and what is wrong, and go only on the correct path without carrying out any wrong actions.
That is why one can become a person who is able to manage himself or herself, so that one does not hurt, harm or bother others. By doing this, one is actually eliminating one’s karma from many past lives. To eliminate one’s karma is just like removing the dark clouds that are obscuring the bright, clear blue sky. To practice and polish oneself means that one is finding one’s true self, which is to find one’s bright, clear blue sky.
When a practitioner does something wrong, it is a most embarrassing moment for the practitioner himself or herself. He or she is more ashamed than others would be; this is also part of the practitioner’s beauty. That is why practitioners are continuously promising themselves not to repeat such ignorant action anymore. When a similar situation does come, he or she strives hard not to repeat the same mistake again.
The more one can see oneself, the more one will realize that one’s embarrassment and regrets actually come from one’s desires and greed. This is why practitioners strive hard to diminish their desires and greed. When their realization becomes deeper, they will see that, as a matter of fact, greed and desire come from having an untruthful mind, which comes from their pride and ego, and their desire to protect themselves.
This kind of realization will bring one great hope that one can bring happiness to oneself. Other people do not bring true happiness to oneself. One has to make it for oneself.
From today, do not expect hope or happiness to come to you from the outside. Instead, create your own factory of happiness within yourself. This is a great individual power that can bring about world peace.
Remember: negativity and sadness bring negativity and sadness, and positivity brings positivity. By creating your own factory of happiness, you are bringing happiness and prosperity to yourself.
P.S. This is a very important teaching, especially the sentence that is bold. This is the new motto for world peace.
What I am teaching you is not new. You heard about it before in either this or a past life. This daily teaching is simply to remind us so that we can be clear and live correctly in this and future lives. Believing this teaching is entirely the decision of the one who reads it. In addition, applying one’s own concept to this teaching is the choice of the reader himself or herself.
