"Comparison"

We conclude that something is "big", "beautiful", "rich", "poor"... when we compared it with something else. Without "comparison", there is no "big", "beautiful", "rich", "poor", "good", "bad", "happy", "sad", .....

So, the day that you feel happy, what makes you feel happy? By comparing the sad experience....? Think again... what makes you happy? What makes you sad?

All these are just phenomenons. It does not carry any special meaning until we "define" it. Be focus on the "real" (?!) thing.. the buddhism .... :|

"Connection" for success

Someone brought this up.. the success requires good "connections" and without "connection" you won't be success.

Does it mean that.... without "connection" you won't be able to become "buddha"..? Think.. what is "connection"?

:)

What is "luck"?

What is "luck"? Does it really exist....? Have you thought about why there is "lucky" or "unlucky" thing happen to you? Why..? Think thoroughly.. "luck" might be an illusion.. :)
