All actions whether good or bad will bear fruit...

There is no volitional action, no matter how insignificant which is without fruit. As long as an evil deed is not yet ripened, the evil one may perceive his evil deed as sweet as honey. But when it ripens, he will come to grief......

Love

Just my own opinion....

For girls out there, mostly in singapore. They like to look for rich man or hunks to be their husband. Mostly is rich man as they want to live in luxuries and kinda show off to their friends as well.

My advice will be to look out for guys with good morals and values. Its ok that he is not rich at the moment. But i'm sure he will be quite well off in the later part of life. As according to the law of karma. Plant good seeds and you will get good fruits. Heaven will bless him with happiness and things that he needs. So girls, don't always look at the surface.

So what if this guy that you are going to marry is rich? If he doesn't have good morals and values, soon it will be his time that his own bad karma will come and haunt him. Thats why you see alot of rich man getting bankrupt and dying in accident. Behind the scenes, they are doing all the evil and wicked things that we can't see. But when we see the end results, we will know whether he lives a righteous life or a wicked one.

Normally rich man tends to play around with girls behind the wife's back. Would you want to lead such life? Do you like the feeling of your spouse betraying you? Of course i don't mean all the rich men. But i've seen plenty! SO thats why finding a husband or mate with good morals and values is very important.

Always love your husband/wife weakness. All the other strengths and good points will be a bonus for you. If you can't love your mate's weakness, one day you will find it as an eye sore and start to pick on it. Thats when all the quarrels and bickering will come about.

When a couple is starting to know each other, its only human that everybody will show only their good points. But after some time together, don't forget to show or let him/her know your weakness as well. Don't hide till after the wedding.. What if he/she can't accept it? Disaster will happen..

I'm sure at some point of life, everybody will have the thinking of happily ever after.. Some people will say its bullshit and crap. 1week back, i have a friend who told me that she had once believe in fairytale but had since drop that idea because she felt that humans are very practical. Well.. I do believe in what she said but i still think that fairytale does exist when i saw a couple in their 70s still holding hands walking down the street.

Thats why i'm still keeping my hopes up high! My parents are in their 50s and they are still holding hands when we go out together. Its just so lovely to see it. So girls, don't be blinded by the riches and luxury. Handsome and cute faces can't last forever too. One day when his face and muscles become saggy, would you still love him the same? Only thing left unchange will be his character and his heart. So i think a caring husband with good character is a much better choice.

Think about it.. Hope this will help the confused girls out there.

Amition and contentment

Buddhism teaches contentment, but people have ambitions in work and also want better lives for their families. How can this be reconciled?

While it is true that Buddhism considers contentment to be a virtue, it also realizes that everyone may take different paths to attain their own peace and happiness. In such cases, the Buddha would recommend taking the Middle Path.

Not to be too ambitious thay you may cause harm or hurt to others in achieving your ambitions. And also don't be too contented that your own livelihood and family be adversely affected.
