🙏 Wondering? Make a lot of merit... but why is the heart still suffering?

🙏 I wonder if I have many merit... But why is my heart still suffering?

This is a question that people often ask Luang Ta.

✅ is the question of this generation The era when "merit" is sometimes turned into just a number in a donation envelope.

Many 🤔 often enter the temple, praying to the emperor every night, offering alms, making merit never lacking.

But when coming back to real life

The heart is still hot. Still angry easily. Still jealous. Still can't sleep with other people's words

Are we "making merit" or just buying temporary comfort for ourselves? ✔️

The world today teaches people to believe that the more money = the more merit

But the Buddha taught that

✨ True merit is not what is at hand but what changes the "mind."

Some people boycott every day but instead talk to hurt people in the house

Some people donated hundreds of thousands but never forgave anyone.

Some people chant loudly but the heart is still full of hate

And how can merit be born? If the heart is still dark as before 😂

Emperor chant is therefore not just memorizing sacred words.

But to "organize the mind."

Pray to keep the heart still Pray to keep the consciousness back Pray to gradually reduce greed, anger, obsession, self.

✅ because the highest merit may not be an offering of many things.

But it could be...

🌿 Stopping bad talk 🌿 Forgiving 🌿 Not overcoming each other 🌿 Being merciful even in the day itself hurts.

Many people want to change their lives but never change their habits.

In fact, 🤔

Life changed.

When the heart starts to light. "

And when the heart is bright,

Even the world is the same

But suffering will gradually exhaust us. ✔️

✅ slowly change yourself.

To become a man of light inside, so he prayed to add light to himself for the good change of life.

Create light and charity simply by pressing like press share, forwarding light from good stories, good to benefit those elsewhere.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ได้ลองฝึกสวดบทมหาจักรพรรดิและทำสมาธิอย่างตั้งใจ เมื่อก่อนแม้จะทำบุญด้วยการถวายสังฆทานและเข้าโบสถ์สวดมนต์ทุกวัน ใจยังคงร้อนรุ่มและอารมณ์ขึ้น ๆ ลง ๆ ตลอดเวลา ความทุกข์ ความโกรธ และอิจฉายังตามมากวนใจอย่างไม่ลดละ แต่เมื่อหันมาเน้นความตั้งใจจริงในใจมากกว่าปริมาณการทำบุญ เช่น ตั้งจิตให้เมตตา ให้อภัย และลดละความโลภโกรธ หมั่นฝึกสวดมนต์ด้วยจิตใจสงบและมีสติ ปรากฏว่าใจค่อย ๆ ผ่อนคลายสงบลง ความทุกข์ที่เคยฝังลึกเริ่มคลายออกไปทีละน้อย รู้สึกว่าการทำบุญแท้จริงไม่ได้วัดกันที่จำนวนครั้งหรือจำนวนเงิน แต่คือการเปลี่ยนใจให้สว่างและเป็นสุขอย่างแท้จริง บทสวดมหาจักรพรรดิไม่ใช่แค่บทสวดธรรมดา แต่เป็นเครื่องมือสำคัญในการจัดระเบียบจิตใจ ทำให้จิตสงบ มีสติ ขจัดความคิดลบและความรู้สึกขุ่นมัวใจได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น สำหรับใครที่รู้สึกว่าทำบุญอย่างไรใจก็ยังทุกข์ ลองเปลี่ยนแนวทางมาดูแลใจตัวเองด้วยการฝึกสวดมนต์อย่างมีสมาธิ ฝึกรู้จักให้อภัย และหยุดพฤติกรรมทำร้ายจิตใจตนเองและผู้อื่น ความสุขจะเริ่มแผ่ซ่านจากข้างใน แม้สถานการณ์รอบตัวจะยังเหมือนเดิม แต่ใจจะมีแสงสว่างและความสงบกว่าที่เคย สุดท้าย การทำบุญจึงไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องการถวายสิ่งของหรือเงินทอง แต่เป็นการนำคุณธรรมและความดีเข้าไปเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเอง ทำให้ใจมีเมตตา ให้ความรักและความสงบแก่ตนเองและผู้อื่นได้มากขึ้นจริง ๆ นี่คือกุศลอันแท้จริงที่พระพุทธเจ้าต้องการสอนเรา"

Most suffering is not created by events.
It is created by automatic reactions to those events. Jon Kabat-Zinn’s work on mindfulness teaches that freedom is not about controlling life. It is about becoming aware enough to choose how we meet it. Between stimulus and response there is a space. And inside that space… our freedom liv

Stop suffering in silence.🌸
Many people look okay on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, lost, frustrated, or emotionally exhausted. Social media has made it easy to pretend everything is fine, but behind closed doors, so many people are struggling silently. That’s why it’s important to normalize asking for help.

Why Love Involves Suffering
Why does love sometimes hurt so much? Because to love is to open yourself. And in that opening, you risk being misunderstood, unseen, or even left. But love also teaches us what we need. It reveals our longings. Our fears. Our dreams. We suffer in love not because we’re weak, but because we hope.
