Even if there are people who laugh at us when we laugh, there is no one near us who can laugh at us when we cry, but only laugh at us when we cry. This is a teaching of the Buddha himself. He has preached that if one does not find a friend who is in harmony with one's virtues for one's company, it is very good to live alone. However, because it behaves well in the mind, some people who live among friends and are happy with friends and then grieve alone have reasons to mourn. This was created by nature to show all of us the impermanence of the world.
We were gifted to this world through nature itself. Likewise, we are controlled by nature itself. If we know it well and act wisely and with our minds, the ability to enrich our lives is not rare.
"There is nothing in the world that is not subject to the law of nature."
In accordance with this verse, when we ask about life, why are we all subject to the law of nature? Isn't it because we are a well-formed form of the four great elements of nature, namely, earth, fire, air, and the four great elements, namely, earth, fire, and air, with the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body? Isn't that right? No philosopher has yet appeared in this world who can expose this as false. We know that the only philosopher, the wise man, and the only anthropologist who has discovered and preached it to us is the Buddha, the Father of the World. But isn't it because we don't ask much about it that we act as if we don't know it? What do we ask about this world? What don't we ask? This living being has been created based on the consciousness that arose due to the accumulation of good and bad karmas that we have done during our lifetime, and it has been mixed with a combination of the four great elements: earth, fire, fire, and air. Who understands this well? Why don't we think about this? No great philosopher has ever appeared in this world who has analyzed life as well as the Buddha. How is the world created? How do beings arise in it? How are the happiness and sorrows of those beings determined? Whether it is the human form that experiences all this or the animal form, how has all this been created? It is well-established that we should study those well-established facts and direct our lives in the right direction, ensuring our own and others' good. Otherwise, there will be no end to this life.
We who think that we live our lives holding happiness in our hearts cannot see that happiness ever coming. Even if we get happiness sometimes, we will have to experience a little bit of sadness in the end. We should know why this is. Every time we feel happiness, we should also talk about sadness. We should also try to act in accordance with the Dharma of Nature. Through that, we cannot see any darkness but a good light in our lives.
Samsara is very scary and we should go through it with wisdom. If we go through it in the same way, we should enjoy both happiness and sadness in the way we get them. We should think that it is just a part of our life.
In this way, the creature created in the Dharma of Nature is gifted to the society by bestowing all the privileges that he should enjoy in that life in accordance with all the activities he has done. Accordingly, a being born in this world tries to live in various mental levels to be affected by the forms of form, sound, smell, taste, and touch that arise from the five senses of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body. When those efforts are successful at certain times, satisfaction arises in the mind that he has. Then various conflicts arise. We all constantly suffer from the five senses and are tempted to grasp something with ego. But we do not think at any moment that this is also just a form created by the four great demons. It can also change at any moment. Then my mind has to face the dharma called suffering. Then, due to that sad pastime, when I am in this society or with my friends, they are tempted to laugh at me or even insult me. Because I am sad. Therefore, should I go to further enhance the joy that has arisen in them without proper understanding? No. I should clearly explain to them the dharma of change in all this and that there is no such thing as "I" or "mine" in this world. They should see clearly the impermanence of the forms of pleasure that are subject to the five senses and not follow them and try to live their lives correctly on this path of samsara. Then the group of people who look at us is very large. The group of people who try to knock us down and hit us is very large. This is because they do not act like a dog that runs in the direction where a pebble was thrown and act like a lion that runs in that direction, asking who threw it. We should try to be like a lion at all times. At no time should we chase after the sounds we hear like a dog and fall down.
We know that the path of samsara carries a very frightening nature. That fearful nature has been created by the wrong actions we have taken. As long as we do wrong actions, we have to suffer. Then others laugh at our suffering. But if we engage in right actions and live happily, there are many who sigh, envy, and get angry. It is like building a ladder for those who are moving forward.
