Born for nothing and lived for nothing.

Buddha, Buddhist until Na Phong Temple

2025/8/22 Edited to

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน หลายคนอาจสงสัยว่าเราควรมีเป้าหมายอย่างไร และจะหาเหตุผลของการเกิดมาและการใช้ชีวิตได้อย่างไร ตามคำสอนในพระพุทธศาสนา ชีวิตไม่ได้แค่การเกิดและอยู่เท่านั้น แต่เป็นการเรียนรู้ที่จะเข้าใจธรรมชาติของทุกข์และค้นหาหนทางปล่อยวางความยึดมั่น การฝึกสติ เช่น การนั่งรู้ลมหายใจ เป็นตัวช่วยสำคัญที่ทำให้เราได้สัมผัสกับปัจจุบันและตระหนักถึงความไม่เที่ยงของชีวิต ทุก ๆ ช่วงเวลาที่เราหายใจเข้า-ออก จึงเป็นหนึ่งในขั้นตอนของการรู้จักตัวเองและรู้จักโลกอย่างแท้จริง นอกจากนั้น การมีวิเวก หรือการหลีกเลี่ยงสิ่งรบกวน เพื่อได้อยู่กับตัวเองบ้างเป็นครั้งคราว ก็ช่วยให้เรามีโอกาสพิจารณาใจและเข้าใจความจริงในชีวิตมากขึ้น หลายครั้งที่เรารู้สึกสูญเสียหรือสับสน การหันมาเข้าใจกรรม หรือผลของการกระทำในชีวิตที่ผ่านมา สามารถช่วยให้เราเห็นเส้นทางที่ควรเดินต่อไปอย่างชัดเจน ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวและการปฏิบัติตามคำสอนเหล่านี้ ทำให้รู้ว่าชีวิตมีคุณค่าที่เราสามารถเลือกได้ว่าจะดำเนินไปอย่างไร เพื่อให้มีความสุขและสงบภายในจริง ๆ ดังนั้น การเกิดมาและอยู่ไปของเราจึงไม่ใช่เพียงแค่การมีชีวิต แต่คือการค้นหาความสมบูรณ์แห่งจิตใจและการปล่อยวางสิ่งที่ไม่จำเป็น เพื่อพบกับความอิสระและความสุขที่แท้จริง.

“The bravest Apache woman”

History didn’t carve her name into stone. But babies took their first breath because she showed up. And whole communities slept easier because they trusted her. In the late 1800s, there was a woman known simply as Mrs. F. Lathers. No grand biography. No official records praising her work.
