Salvation.

[Jeremy Bong]

Sky,

I think others making fun you got the blame. I think that's Buddhism also. Everything in life is Buddhism. But I think of other stuff.

Someone is going get a test or to have an examination to be a judge. It's because they're right in the mind but.... HaHa... Fox play....so what's right and what's wrong? So....they become judge that's the direction...that's the goal...

Someone really don't know anything but pretend they know that's for ignorance.

Human beings are capable of good or evil, causing and creating suffering or preventing it or lessening it. Going off into some abstract concept where there is no right or wrong is all fine and good when you are lost in your ideas, but try applying that to the real world or your real life.

That refers to harm.

Two people sitting alone in a room. What do they create? They can play a friendly game. They can talk about their lives and children. One can pick up a baseball bat and hit the other. To you maybe it is all the same. To the person being hit with a baseball bat it is not. In fact, because of karma, the one creating the suffering and violence will find it directed back at them as this is the law of cause and effect.

There is right and wrong and the universe has laws of cause and effect in place to mold conscious energy to become in harmony with the whole. Maybe you are intellectually and conceptually zooming out to an outside view where you claim, look it is all right and good because it eventually leads to harmony..even the violence....wrong.... if it was all good there would not be karmic laws in operation to end it.

The source itself has a preference. The source itself has a goal. The source sees disharmony as wrong and harmony as right. That's why suffering and karma exists.



If there was no right or wrong, why would Buddha say to look within? What would be the point? Why attempt to change what you are through looking within? Through self-realization?

'Look within' is the direct experience.
