Faith is a part of any
human being. When we have faith in goodness, we want to do good deeds for
others and ourselves. Once I heard khun Yay Chandra say, “When we are born in
this word, we should behave ourselves, be useful to ourselves and to others. If
anyone behaves like this in this life, he or she will always be able to die
with happiness.” Of course, this is always what good people do. It seems to me
that being useful is being responsible. In addition, a person that is
responsible is a person that has wisdom. Responsibility is a trait of wisdom. A
person who knows how to be responsible also knows how to correct bad habits.
The three concepts to correct bad habits are Dana, Sila, and, Bhavana. Dana is
knowing how to give. Dana helps to protect us from being homeless-remember the
more you give the more you get. Sila or the five precepts (avoid killing,
stealing, committing adultery, telling lies, and drinking alcohol or taking
drugs) allow us meditation our humanity, which is more than just knowing how to
survive. Bhavana or meditation is how to gain wisdom through our bright minds,
which can learn from a wise teacher.

">This also reflects that many people who are ignorant do not know
what is right or what is good. Then they do not know how to sacrifice. In order
for them to sacrifice, they would need a strong and pure mind that could accept
their defects.

">Usually, a responsible person is willing to sacrifice in order to
have a future or for the future, while an irresponsible person will make
decisions for now without regard for the future.
