It is subjective to think that everything we say, every thoughts we have are accurate and precise. In other words, we could say these people are opinionated and prejudiced. It means that we only judge things based on our own beliefs or feelings without consulting others; or having no constructive discussion to really find the truth. It is actually a seriously bad issue of human being. (We will refer as the issue throughout this discussion).

There is a French saying: “Vouloir c’est pouvoir” (meaning you’ll get what you want). However, according to the points of view from Buddhism, not everything we want would become reality because of karma, the law of Cause and Effect. It also depends on the amount of blessings we have accumulated from many past lives.

Siêng năng làm việc chuyên cần,
Luôn luôn sáng tạo góp phần dựng xây
Vinh quang thay những bàn tay
Đắp xây tổ quốc mỗi ngày đẹp tươi

Hôm nay đường nhựa đã làm xong
Từ đây rực rỡ ánh dương hồng
Chùa như hoa nở đầy thung lũng
Để đẹp cho rừng núi mênh mông.

Vì thế gian đau khổ, Phật đã sinh ra đời
Chúng con thật hạnh phúc, được ơn Người sáng soi!.

Thương anh Bộ Đội Biên Phòng
Ngày đêm canh giữ non sông biển trời

Trái tim để không là trái tim vô dụng
Nhưng yêu thương phải biết đúng và sai
Thương yêu sai, làm cuộc sống đọa đày
Thương yêu đúng làm tương lai hạnh phúc

“It is not possible to benefit from all our blessings”- This statement has been passed down from our Patriarchs, Highly Honored Monks to the present generation. Today, we will thoroughly disseminate this statement to ascertain its meaning. Once we gain understanding of this statement, we will be able to avoid many mistakes in our life and our application/practice will be more seamless.

In the preface of Lotus Sutra, it is said that when the aura of Buddha appeared, the assembly relied on the power and the aura of Buddha to see countless realms of other Buddhas in the universe, in which Buddha and Bodhisattva were preaching to sentient beings, drawing very beautiful pictures. The aura of the Shakyamuni Buddha shocked all the realms it reached. Buddhas of those realms sent their attendants to this Saha world to visit and pay homage to Shakyamuni Buddha. Among those greetings, there was a question, "It is said that beings of this Saha world are very stubborn. Is it difficult for you to teach them?"
