The Wise and the Foolish

Being a good person is extremely important. The more good people there are in this world, the more happiness and peace will increase among human beings.

So what is meant by a “good person”? Generally speaking, many qualities are needed, but if we gather them together, there are three main ones:

A kind and compassionate heart.

Honesty and straightforwardness, with little deceit.

Good character and great wisdom.

Whoever possesses these three qualities is called a good person. Such a person should always be cherished like a precious jewel.

Abandoning a bad character is also extremely important. The more bad people there are in this world, the more suffering and conflict will continue to grow among beings.

Although bad people have many faults, these too can be summarized into three:

A malicious mind that intends harm.

Crookedness and selfishness, thinking only of oneself.

Ignorance and arrogance—failing to understand the consequences of one’s actions and being overly proud.

Whoever possesses these three traits is called a bad person. Such a person should always be avoided like a contagious disease.

Then where are good people found? Where should we look for them? And where are bad people found? How should we avoid them?

They are not found elsewhere. One must make oneself a good person. One must never engage in the actions of a bad person. From KGP

The worldly aims accomplished through a hundred efforts—
After long gathering, in the end they turn out to be empty deception.
The reward for three years of hard toil is cut off and lost.
When you doing well, they draw close, fawning and pressing near;
When misfortune comes, from afar they point their fingers in scorn.
Such is the nature of bad friends, who do not recognize kindness as kindness.
Thinking of this, a feeling arises that makes one want to weep rather than laugh. H.H. Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok

I reiterate, New Kadampa Buddhist Centres are run by the Chinese government in an effort to undermine and destroy Tibetan Buddhism. They wear Tibetan Buddhist robes. All are fake.

On the auspicious occasion of the New Year of the Fire Horse, I offer prayers for peace throughout the natural environment and for all people to enjoy good health and lasting happiness.

In the coming year, may we all strive to cultivate harmony and unity. May followers of the world’s religions work together in shared understanding and action for the benefit of both this life and future lives. May political leaders act with wisdom and responsibility—promoting prosperity, protecting the environment, strengthening harmony, and serving the well-being of all. In particular, may the leaders of every nation carefully safeguard their country’s land and its people.

No one should sow division or cause harm within their own country, nor mislead the public through rumors or divisive speech. Likewise, when traveling to other countries, one should not speak ill of one’s own religion, nationality, culture, or traditions. Such actions are deeply regrettable.

If differences in religious or political views arise among us, may we resolve them within our own communities through respectful dialogue. In this way, may we all share together in peace, happiness, and well-being throughout the New Year. KPG

My poem for valentine's day:)

In this ever-changing world,
I cherish this moment with you —
not to hold you tightly,
but to love you freely.

May our love be rooted in compassion,
guided by wisdom,
and strengthened through mindfulness.

Today and every day,
I choose to love you
with an open and gentle heart. KPG

All that has passed will not be seen again.
Even now, while we are alive in this present life,
many of our own friends and non-friends have already died,
and the negative actions that we ourselves committed for their sake—
whatever unbearable ones they are—stand before us.
This life of ours is continually diminishing,
and if no increase comes from anywhere,
how could it be that I will not die?
When the day of my death arrives,
even if I remain lying on my bed
surrounded by all my relatives and friends,
there will be no benefit.
The suffering and sensations of life being cut off
will be experienced by myself alone.
Even if the one who can protect me in the bardo
is my own lama,
if even now I do not pay heed to the lama’s words,
then during the bardo as well
I will certainly act in accordance with my present conduct.

Clean your front door before 17 February. 18 February is Losar.

Good to clean your whole house too especially your prayer room.

Skillful means, wisdom, and compassion—these three—are the true treasures of this world.
If we want happiness in this world, we must apply skillful means, wisdom, and compassion.

Other than this, actions such as fault-finding, exposing others’ shortcomings, harsh criticism, and suppression cannot create a beautiful and meaningful future for us.

If we wish to leave something good for future generations—our children and grandchildren—then we must pass on these three: skillful means, wisdom, and compassion.

Leaving behind wealth and money alone is not only of no benefit, but carries a great risk of becoming a cause of harm to both oneself and others.

Especially in these times, people, driven by jealousy and competitive resentment toward one another, deceive each other, criticize each other, and commit many kinds of harm.

As a result, neither oneself nor others are happy; anger and resentment arise.

Because of this, discord arises within families, within communities and organizations, and even between nations.
This is why great turmoil continues to arise in the world today.

If we wish for such things not to happen, each individual must cultivate and develop their own wisdom, skillful means, and compassion.

Otherwise, if one listens to the words of foolish, biased people and those who deceive and manipulate others, it will inevitably become a cause of suffering.

Therefore, we must always sustain and guide the world through skillful means, wisdom, and compassion.

And people should build the future with one another in a spirit of patience, mutual respect, and acceptance. From KPG

If one associates with foolish and low-minded people,
One will definitely end up in unfortunate realms.

From the shadow of bad companions arise countless forms of suffering.

The defining trait of a bad friend is that in a single moment they can appear affectionate,
Yet in the next instant they can turn into an enemy.

Even when you do things that ought to please them, they become angry.

They cannot tell good from bad,
Nor do they understand the value of their own life.

It is difficult to make such people genuinely happy.

If you speak beneficial words, they grow angry;
And if you repay harm with kindness, they still do harm in return.

By listening to the words of such a person,
Both you and others will fall into misfortune.

From Shantideva
