Thought!

Do you find any “BAD” person around you?

How do you define a “BAD” person?

One of the dharma talk by Ajahn Brahm, he mentioned that no “BAD” person.

However, there is “Bad” thought arises in our mind, during this time, We are “BAD” person.

When “Kind” thought arises in our mind, we are  “GOOD” person.

In the world, nobody can be a “BAD” person forever, his or her thought can be changed in second.

The most important is “Determination” and “Willingness” to make a change in life.

To have more and more kind/ good thought in mind, less, lesser to “NONE” of Bad thought in mind.

Let’s our true nature to be unveiled.

I always mentioned that “NATURE” is our great teacher in silence. Be mindfulness and observe HIS teaching.

Allow me to share with you on the changes of my garden…….. the process take more than 1 year….

We never give up even though the soil condition is not encouraging.

I respect for my father’s strong determination. WHY?

He spent more than 1 year to dig a big hole in each row, to change infertile soil to organic soil.

We bought quite big amount of organic soil.

Clay soil, not fertile at all. Slim chance to grow vegetables and plant.

We did our compost with fruits skin, vegetables waste, coffee powder and others.
We are able to preserve the environment. We also bought organic fertilizer to help to enhance the quality of our soil.

My father has spent a lot of time in the garden, at least 7 hours a day, persistently.

Finally, after a year, we are able to see the result from the plant…..

How healthy is the long bean! more than 1 feet……

Mixture of green plants, Edamame, Brinjal, Long bean (Another type)… look great!

Sweet potato leaves… Very nutritional vegetables!

We are to make changes from infertile soil to fertile soil, equivalent to our thoughts, WE ARE definitely can change from “BAD” to “GOOD”.

Nothing is impossible, it’s all depend on how strong is your mind to make a change.

Don’t give excuse as “I am born like this…..”, “I am like this…..”, “I know……but….”

Take our first step to change our mind by NOW. Be a person full of “GOOD” thought.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
