Very often I felt like surrendering and didn’t understand why the more merit I made the more degrading my life was until I became penniless. I felt as if I was in the dark. However, no matter how bad it was I would not give in and I chose to fight to my death. I changed from being downhearted to taking up the challenge. Finally I found out the best solution was not to think about it and to motivate myself to keep on making merit with an assurance that one day the merit will certainly yield fruit.
I am a staff of Thai Airways. My husband is a flight captain. We have a chance to accrue all merits with Luang Phaw for twenty-three years. The heart’s valve was treated from leaking, and even the doctor was surprised. I currently feel very fresh and ready to work non-stop, and I feel like I am young again.
Since he was born, his life was magnificent and comfortable. His family was ranked as a moderately wealthy family of Taoyuan, from selling alcohol and cigarettes. The comfort he received was a result of the destruction of others. What are the Karma of doing this? DMC has the answers.
He recited heart of hermit and made a wish for three amulets in front of empty ground. At the end of his spell, there were more amulets than he wished for appearing before him. When he was about to grab them, those extra amulets disappeared through the sand and into the cave.
He used to throw a live turtle into a fire, when it crawled out, would throw it back into the fire again many times until it died. Not too long after that he asked for an ordination. Three months later he put on his robe and poured the petrol all over himself and lit the fire.
I would like to inquire about the current unrest in the south. From a Buddhist stand point, what are the underlying causes of the unrest?
Buddhists today have wondered whether if it could be true for Prince Siddhattha to take seven steps immediately after he was born. How can we explain this phenomenon to a skeptic?
used to invite relatives to come to the temple to make merit, but they refused and only sent money each time. They thought that even though they didn’t go to the temple, they would receive merit because it’s their money. How can I explain to them?
Some people think there shouldn’t be any resolution when making merit, because it is as if one is greedy or one expects something in return. I don’t know how to correct this misunderstanding.
