In accordance with the universal law, all of us who are born into this world inherit a certain number of natural bodily functions. That is,
Eyes, shapes,
Ears, sounds,
Nose, smells,
Tongue, tastes,
Body, touch
All of us who live in these places, by informing the brain of everything we feel, fulfill it all through our five senses by dividing it into two parts. That is,
Suffering
Happiness
We know very well that no matter how much we try to establish this process in the same way, it cannot be maintained in the same way in today's society. But we should strive to act with a calm and peaceful mentality. Do you even think a little about how much people in other countries are trying to destroy the good civilization we have in the world. What is the reason for them to destroy our civilization? About 6 decades ago, Sri Lanka was a developed country in terms of food production. But today this country is a parasitic country. The day before our independence, the colonists called us a self-sufficient developed country. That is why, a few years ago, the President of Singapore came to Sri Lanka and announced that Singapore would be made like Sri Lanka. He has done exactly what he said then. But where are we today? Everything we need, starting from the rice grains, is imported from the colonists. Will they refuse to provide us with food at some point? By then, will we all have any other choice but to die of hunger? We think that by then we will be dead. But how will our children and grandchildren live? Have they been given a free and independent state? Now, there is no rice or wheat in Sri Lanka. But we all say that it is a country rich in rice. Where is the island of Dharma?
Two things are necessary for a person to develop. That is,
Mind
Wisdom
Will these two be destroyed at some point? A great fire will be created there. How can it be completed? If so, how did the Paradeshakkaras destroy this mind and wisdom?
Intoxicants
Milk powder wisdom
Agrochemicals
Electrical devices
Desire
Anger
Ignorance
The wisdom and mind of the living being are destroyed by all the above-mentioned causes. Similarly, the functioning of the organs connected to the brain is impaired. In the face of that, the mind alone sighs and leaves this body and joins the universe. Again, it breathes life into some form. But no truth has been understood. In the early days of the living being, the above-mentioned things were followed in accordance with their own thinking and their own spirit. But today, they have developed a mentality that cannot be shown to each other.
All people who understand the functioning of this universal law well and act accordingly can live in physical and mental unity. But all those who move beyond it move forward by harming others. It is a great support for the change in this natural law. In each time period in the world, if those who are not in the appropriate virtues take up the sword to rule the country, then the entire universe will change and be destroyed. This has been well preached by the Buddha in the Cakkavatthi Seehana Sutta. If one lives in accordance with the natural law, he will inherit the seven jewels. Namely
1. Elephant
2. Horse
3. Vehicle
4. Foot
5. Woman
6. Gem
7. Chakra
All the above-mentioned objects can perform great miraculous actions. Wherever these seven gems are located, a beam of energy that can manipulate the entire world well is concentrated in that place. To obtain such objects, one must live a good life with the ten virtues. Otherwise, everything will be degraded. Since we expect only temporary comfort in this universe today, we have become accustomed to turning away from the Buddha's teachings and going astray. That is why we inherit a painful and oppressive mental life. Can we not change this?
All of us beings have created many controversial problems in front of us today due to certain goals that we have followed at different times. To correct all this, one can obtain relief by following the path prescribed by the Buddha. How is that possible?
Ten virtues Ten vices
Not killing animals Killing animals Not stealing Not stealing Not engaging in sexual misconduct Not engaging in sexual misconduct Not lying Not lying Not gossiping Not gossiping Not gossiping Not speaking idle words Not speaking harsh words Not speaking harsh words Not desiring others Not desiring others Not hating Not hating Seeing right Seeing wrong If one behaves well in the above-mentioned virtues, that person and the society in which he lives will shine in a good way. There will be no mental dissatisfaction in him. Similarly, if the seven unwholesome dhammas prescribed by the Buddha are put into practice in the entire great society, that society will shine like a cloud-laden grape.
The Seven Immutable Dhammas
1. A righteous ruler should make the law reign supreme, ensuring the impartiality and justice of the law and ensuring its protection for all equally
2. Taking advice and advice from elders and respecting them
3. Protecting and respecting caste women
4. Respecting and following the advice of the venerable priests
5. Protecting and building existing sacred places
6. The rulers of the country should meet together regularly
7. The rulers should meet together regularly, speak together and disperse together
Are these virtues well followed in today's society? No. Isn't it because they don't follow them that conflicts have arisen? Yes. If every ruler of the country does not listen to the opinions of others, there will be great deterioration. It will be explained as follows.
Ten Royal Dharmas
1. Charity, the fourfold path
2. Sacrifice, one's own labor
3. Morality, mind, body, speech
4. Penance, self-control
5. Non-violence, kindness, compassion, equanimity
6. Non-hatred, hatred, jealousy, anger
7. Straightness, not being shaken by the eight worldly dharma/ like a flower/ like a stone
8. Gentleness, melting away from suffering, deepening
9. Patience, courage
10. Non-contradiction, listening to the correct words of others
Ten Sakvithi Vat
1. One should associate with the Dhamma, take the Dhamma as a teacher, take the Dhamma as a flag, and keep the Dhamma as the supreme authority, thinking equally about one's own people as well as about one's own people
2. Think equally about the Kshatriya people
3. Think equally about the Brahmin householders
4. Think equally about the residents of the Niyamgam colony Think
5. Think about monks and brahmins in the same way
6. Think about animals in the same way
7. Ensure that there are no unrighteous acts in the country
8. Distribute wealth and property to those who do not have wealth in the country
9. Approach monks and brahmins who develop the mind and ask about their well-being and receive advice
10. Eliminate unwholesome actions and engage in wholesome actions
Even the gods of heaven bless the leader of the state who does not think only about his own happiness and acts in this way. The blessings of nature are well received. Then there is no need to hide in houses and keep watch. There was no such thing during the time of the Buddha. But today, we all live in great fear and anxiety because we have some small or minor faults or shortcomings within us. What should be the solution to this?
"Adhananam dhane anuppadiya mane daliddiyam vepulla magamasi
The poor, who are deprived of wealth, Well said. So, it is time to take these ideas to heart and start moving forward from today. In the face of people committing mistakes in the village of Heladiva, we should find out the root cause of the mistakes made by them and address it. Then everything will be resolved. Our only goal is to see such a pure and clean society illuminated by the light of the full moon.
