Pearls of Wisdom

Human Birth is Rare

To obtain a human birth is rare. What is even more rare is to be reborn to a family with right view.

To be born in a country where the Buddha Dhamma is practised. Even so, we must have merit to be able to appreciateand cultivate respect towards the Buddha Dhamma.But praying alone to Buddha statues is not enough.We must practice, and practice consistently.

“Don’t act like a hay (straw) fire.”Meaning to practice diligently at first but once we feel bored, 

we give up the practice of the Dhamma.Just like how hay catches fire quickly and extinguishes soon after.

We practice steadily, whether or not we are feeling lazy that day,Our Dhamma fire never goes out.Luang Pu Doo – Wat Sakae in Ayutthaya
