The Brightness Attained
by One Will Light Up the Entire World.
Today is the 54th day of this Rains-Retreat, and thirty-six days from now it will be the Rains-Exit Day. Time is passing by far too quickly for the pursuers of Perfections who understand their true life-goal. Every human being on earth is here to pursue Perfections and make clear the Path and Fruit of Nibbana. If everyone on earth understands his true life-goal, true world peace will happen because everyone will be busily pursuing Perfections and increasing their purity physically, verbally, and mentally. They will be endeavoring to keep their mind inside themselves in order to fight with their true enemy in the form of Kilesa (defilements). Everyone will be endeavoring to make clear the Path and Fruit of Nibbana. Hence, true world peace will happen.
Peace conventions cannot bring peace about because people are just talking about peace, but they have no real intention of making it happen.Moreover, they have no idea how to bring about peace. However, if people practiced the Lord Buddha’s Teachings which are all about the Path and Fruit of Nibbana, hence, they apply to everyone on earth, peace would have been realized by now. Therefore, it is up to the Dhammakaya Community to practice the Lord Buddha’s Teachings because we know why we are here and what we are here to do. It is crucially important that we hasten to work towards our life-goal.
Everyone here knows that the Path and Fruit of Nibbana can be found inside himself and nowhere else. But to attain the Path and Fruit of Nibbana requires a tremendous amount of merit and Perfections. It requires one to practice meditation until one can attain the Inner Triple Gem and it is the Inner Triple Gem that will take one across the round of rebirth to the shore of Nibbana. It is one’s duty to carry on with this work as best as one can.
The Inner Dreams Kindergarten’s slogan which says, the brightness attained by one will light up the entire world, was coined to remind members of our community that we have great good work to do and it is up to us to accomplish it. It is up to each one of us to attain the Inner Triple Gem because the brightness attained by one will light up the entire world.
