Life Guide (38 Auspicious)

The 38 auspices are the "success of life" that the Buddha has laid the foundation for us to follow step by step, like going up 38 steps that go from simple things to the ultimate development of the mind.

For simplicity and practical purposes, I would like to divide these auspicious groups into five life stages:

1. Preparation and creation of the environment (steps 1-5)

Start with "people" and "addresses," because if the environment is poor, we will be very difficult to improve ourselves.

Not Dating Bullies: Avoid People Who Take Us In Decline, Jobless, or Negative Thoughts

Graduate Dating: Be Near Knowledgeable, Virtuous People to Get Positive Energy and Good Advice

Worship the Person to Worship: Honor and Gratitude to Parents, Teachers, or Good People Who Make Benefits

Stay in the Right Place: Choose a Safe Residence or Workplace, Have a Chance to Advance

Making Merit First: Pre-Accumulate Life Costs (Goodness, Skills, Experience)

2. Self-building and self-training (Stages 6-10)

When the environment is good, it's time to make yourself good.

Set Yourself Like: Have Clear and Right Life Goals, Not Crooked

Plurality: It's not a glass of water, always diligent in finding knowledge around it.

Art: Not just know, but "pretend," have unique skills to make a living.

Discipline: Respect the rules of society and its own discipline.

Verbal Proverbs: Speak politely, speak the truth, and speak at a time of benefit.

3. Functioning for the family and society (Stages 11-18)

True success requires taking care of those around you, not just one.

Nourish your parents: Take care of you physically and mentally. This is the most sensitive "auspicious" effect.

Child and Wife / Husband Relief: Acting Head of Family or Good Life Partner, Not Forsaken

Unstoppable Work: No Pig Tail Purifying Clay, Responsible for Completing the Work as Scheduled

Giving alms: sharing both money, knowledge, and kindness.

Conduct Dharma: Living in the Frame of Morality

4. Mind Refining (Stages 19-30)

Once life is stable, it must begin to look at the inner world for lasting happiness.

Abstaining from Sin: Knowing Restraint on Provocations

Decks from Drinking Drunk Water: Not Reckless, Absent-Minded Because of the Abyss

Be Patient: Be Patient with Adversity, and Be Patient with Criticism

Be humble: Don't consider yourself to be better or richer than anyone.

Solitude: Satisfying with what you have (but also developing more, just not greedy until suffering)

Have gratitude: know you, man, and give back when the opportunity arises.

5. Access to mental peace (steps 31-38)

The final is to keep the mind still, stable, unshakable against a chaotic world.

The mind does not waver in the moral world: when it comes to good things (fortune, rank, praise) or bad things, the mind can remain calm.

Mental Without Grief: Understanding Life's Changes, Not Too Attached

Psychedelics: Airy psyche, safe from distracted passions.

💡 How to put it into practice today?

You don't have to do all 38 things in one day. Check out "Where are we stuck now?" * If your friends take you to drink every night - > Start with item 1 (no bully)

If the work is swamped in time - > Start at Article 14 (uncounted work)

If impatient, impatient - > Start at verse 27 (with patience)

Life is not superstition, but "Action & Result" is good. Good results will follow.
