THE TRUTH OF LIFE

CHAPTER 9

CHE FATT

Controlling the human feeling in life

However, men have all fallen blind

Enclosed in short-sightedness

Future you should see further

Attack not your own nature

Tamper not with what is granted to you

Tackle all problems as one goes through life.

In this world filled with only material gain, most of you only see

within 3 feet in distance. If one were to achieve as the Sages have d= one,

one should possess farsightedness. Think not only for the time being,= but

in the long run only one will gain. In life, everyone faces ups and d= owns.

There is no one who can stay afloat at all times. Thus, with every up= , let

not pride be seen. For one should always remember that a fall always<= o:p>

comes after it. Yet in time of downs do not be discouraged, but seek<= o:p>

ways to keep afloat. Let every mistake be a new experience and one

should never repeat it.

LIFE

Looking at life, much one has to say

In actually facing it, it is simple to see

Feel not that the world owes you but rather you owe the world

Ending of sorrow will be the day when one learns of harmony.

In the course of life, everyone asks what it is, what should be done<= o:p>

in order to know its purpose. Yet if one can realize the purpose of l= ife,

then violence will not be sighted. To live for today one will die for=

tomorrow. For nothing in this plane will remain forever.

Everything is ever changing, yet no one has taken note of it. Rather<= o:p>

they go along with the changes and they may have entered a wrong trac= k.

Without even knowing about it, the pit is much deeper. Seeking the

right teacher, one goes in search even in the fores= t. To seek the right

chance to save, one is willing to walk a thousand *Li (mile). If men realize the

importance of their own performance, they need not search. For what

seems far to reach, it is actually right in front. But men are so bli= nded by

worldly affair that they see not treasure when they find it.

CHE FATT

Chasing through the recycle of life

Hitting rock each time

Endangered yet one knows not

Further and further you drift away

Amend the wrong with every recycle

Then merits one may gain

Taking along merits to yet another recycle.

With every birth and death, a recycle of life is made. But men have

lost their way, seeing only what they choose to see. Every time one e= nters

with the first thought of illusion. If only they can get rid of it, a= ll will be

clear to their eyes. Mixing around with people, differences of opinio= n are

seen. Yet whether right or wrong, they would argue to the end. One sh= ould

always keep an open mind and think thrice before each action or speec= h

takes place. For when one argues, what does one seek? It is not merel= y

to outwit the others that the arguments are sought. Rather, it is for= a

better understanding and to seek the truth instead. Look at the world=

that is filled with all sorts of beings. In the upbringing of everyth= ing, a

destiny has first been made. For as much as one seeks, endurance alon= e

will help one to find. For all beings that survive on this plane, by = tolerance alone only will violence stop taking place. No matter how strong<= o:p>

one is, there is yet another stronger in sight. And if two tigers wer= e to

start a fight, one is bound to lose in the end. Yet if they can survi= ve together in peace, so much serene will be the place.

With or without beings, the world will still spin. Live together in

a harmonious atmosphere and a longer life span is at hand. By the lit= tle

piece of flesh, a human life and death are being controlled. Overburd= en it

with extra un-necessity and the over loading will take place. All hav= e a limit

in their performance, know your limit and only give your best. Life i= n its

actual self is very precious. Not because with life, one gets to enjo= y the

materialistic pleasure that are supplied, but in life, one learns of = the recycle and given the time one will seek not to come back.

Recycle after recycle, what does one gain if it is not being fully ut= ilized? There are so many different planes, yet for your return, a purpose<= o:p>

awaits you. Do not misuse the life that is so precious, but to all po= ssibilities try to attain in the right way. In this plane one is not alone.= There-

fore, one should learn to live well among one another and practise to= lerance with everything that one meets. Even if your cupboards are full of<= o:p>

beautiful things, in your life time how many can you truly use? Learn=

not to let greed take the lead, for with greed, lusts are seen. Take = what-

ever belongs to you but do not aim at getting from others what is not=

yours.

CHE FATT

Calmly one thinks of life

Hell, it may seem to be

Entering into this hell to be &n= bsp; •

Further learn to stop the recycle and you will not see hell=

Atmosphere one could not see with the naked eyes

Take a deep breath yet the air you will feel

Tempt not your six senses for these may lead to the dead end.

If a person can calmly sit down and look clearly at what life has in<= o:p>

store for him, he will realize the six senses of evil or goodness. Wi= th the

eyes, one sees the whole world. With the ears, one hears from all sid= es.

With the nose, one learns to differentiate all smel= ls. With the tongue, one

learns to taste. And with the mouth, thousand of words may be spoken.=

But these gifts to mankind are meant for goodness.. The eyes are mean= t

to see only the goodness, and the ears are meant to hear the Truth of= Life.

With the nose, one should learn to distinguish the good from the bad<= o:p>

smell, and the tongue is used to differentiate between sweetness and<= o:p>

sour. The mouth is meant for you to talk about the Truth of Life. Sad= to

note though, men use the eyes to see beautiful things, they use the e= ars

to listen only to worldly things. And with the nose, they only learn = to

smell perfume. With the tongue they taste food alone. Worse of all th= e

mouth to them may be for gossip alone. Learn of the good and bad.

Misuse not the meaning of their existence.
