When they grow up, they will be able to control their thinking, speaking and doing to be in the Dhamma rules frame. It leads them to develop themselves to be mature and so forth.To have Dhamma rule behavior, kids need to know the 5 Dhamma rules:1) Not killing any life.2) Not stealing.3) Not behaving wrongly with regards to sex.4) Not lying.5) Not drinking alcohol.If the parents observe, they will find some strength in Thai society that all Thai people know about the 5 Sila (precepts). If they are asked why we must observe the 5 sila then they are not sure of how much they understand. The parents should practice Sila so they can effectively plant the examples to the children. If they can effectively plant the examples to the children. If they want the children to observe the 5 sila then they need to practice and know them well first.1) Why must we not kill any life forms?The thing that we love the most in our lives is our own life, which includes all the organs and components in ourselves. So others also love their lives the most, don’t they?Animals also love their lives, don’t they? There are elephants, horses, cows, buffaloes and other animals who love their lives. Animals never tell us that though. When someone tries to hurt them, they just run away to save their lives.It’s our nature that we shouldn’t kill any life because everyone loves his or her own life. So the first rule is no killing.Why must we not steal?2) Why must we not steal?How can we survive? We can survive by the 4 factors of life or by property.Can we survive without food? No.Can we survive without clothes? No.Con we survive without a residence and medicine?So the 4 factors of life mean property for survival. If our property is stolen, we don’t have to kill each other but we will exist in poverty and we will be in trouble.If you work but get no raise in income it is very bad. If your employer tries to lower your salary then you will be unable to survive. So the second rule of Sila is that you can survive with your property and you shouldn’t rob each other.That’s why the second rule is: do not steal any one’s property.3) Why can’t we sexually misbehave?Even if you don’t kill, and don’t steal there will be someone to take your loved one away. The love of the human involves the love of your husband, wife, parents, children and family. Dukkha or the most suffering you could have in your heart is to have your loved one taken away. You want to die and you don’t want to know anything. You seem to be dead even though you are alive when you lose your loved one.As you know, every one loves their children, loves their wife, their husband, family and all of their loved ones. Common sense always warns you that you should not sexually misbehave. This is the most important point of observing the third Sila Rule of the Dhamma Rules.4) Why can’t we lie?We can’t lie because lying is not a sign of sincerity or a true mind.No matter how much love you give to your children, wife, or husband in the most tremendous way, if it is discovered that you don’t have honesty among each other, even though you love them so much, they will disappear on you. The person who loves you a lot, no matter how much they love you, the love will be reduced daily and in the end they will separate because of mistrust.So the fourth rule of Sila is as follows: do not lie to each other because every one wants the truth, the true heart and the true mind, so there shouldn’t be any lies.Why can’t we drink alcohol?5) Why can’t we drink alcohol?The Lord Buddha pinpointed the following so that we see that as long as we don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t perform sexual misconduct, don’t lie, and never make mistakes with the four Silas is because we still have our consciousness. It is a very strange thing about consciousness.Even if you are sick like you are going to die, hungry like you are going to die, starving like you are going to die, if you still have consciousness, you can stop your mind from killing, from stealing, from lying etc., but if you are drunk you can kill, you can steal, you can commit sexual misconduct and you can be a good liar.So for you to keep the best of these rules preserved, everyone should not drink or become a drug addict to keep your consciousness for yourself to be normal. Then all five Sila will be kept properly. Whenever you lose conscious mess the opportunity that you will be an animal in a human body will cause you to damage the people in society all that time.As long as a person has consciousness, he/she would be able to force him/herself not to do anything destructive. If we drink alcohol or take drugs, we can do all bad things easily.If parents can practice, then they can teach these 5 Sila rules to the children more effectively, and they will be good people who are strong in the Dhamma. It’s also a guard for them from becoming criminals in the future.The truth of what is happening in Thailand now is that the parents do not lay the basic groundwork for the children when they are small. The people of Thailand will then not be able to take care of themselves. For example, with regards to the question about criminals or the problem of people getting killed, where do the criminals come from? The answer is that they first killed small animals until they got used to it and then killing became normal for them.Now what will happen? With this they will soon see that there will be killing every day. We will lose the profits from foreign countries, because the foreign countries, because the foreign people won’t want to come to Thailand when they read the newspapers. They will not want to come and will want to stay home. They will say that there are too many criminals in Thailand. Why is there so much crime in Thailand? It starts with the killing of small animals until they become used to it plus the news of criminals is normal, so the people get used to killing.Where does the problem of corruption in Thailand come from? It begins from stealing. It starts with small robberies and then it grows. You come to work late, then you finish work early and you build up the stealing habit little by little until you are used to it. So when you have the opportunity to steal more you will, like at the end of the year 2539BE when the economy in Thailand went down, The news of the corruption in some of the banks in Thailand was released and it was reported all over the world. The value of the baht went down and it was unstable all over the world. That was a result of the stealing little by little until they got used to it. Sincerity between countries was ruined because of those corruptions.The parents must train the children with the four factors of life and the household work.Where did AIDS come from?Millions of people got AIDS because they misbehaved in sex. They went to the bars and the clubs and they went to the brothels and AIDS spread. So we cannot deny that Thai people are not part of it. Because even if you say we are not involved and you just ignore it, then you are just in agreement with the guilty. So no one gets away from the subject that you have nothing to do with the spread of AIDS.Where does drug abuse and alcoholism widely spread so heavily in our society? Where dose it come from?This is from the inventory of the names of the alcohol brands that are sold in Thailand. They result is that is Thai land they have all of the famous brands of the alcohol, wine etc. Every name brand is for sale and it is easy to say that you can buy every brand of alcohol in Thailand. It means that the picture of Thailand in the eyes of the world is alcoholism.So in the year of 2539BE the loan institutions from other countries see Thailand, and think, “If Thailand looks like this, how are they going to get money to pay the IMF?” they will not be able to pay back the loan at the designated time then they will not be granted an extension to pay later on. It is because the interest each year is less than the money that pays for the drinks for the whole country to consume in one year. So it appears that when you look for reasons why from the beginning, what happens is that you will find that the base of the problems of both social and economic natures in general is because of the lack of ALL five Sila and the 5 good Dhamma rules.This story is about the past painfulness of not teaching the children the 5 Sila when they are small. The parents must see through this first and then help each other to train the children to have 5 Sila from the beginning until they grow up. They will be able to have important energy to bring the county forward in progress. They will then not be a part of the ones who damage the country. That will be a big source of pride for their parents because if the country is safe then the parents and all of the family members will be safe also.The conclusion is that the parents want their children to grow up to be benevolent citizens in society and in the country. The five rules are:1} The rules of speaking.2} The rules of time.3} The rules of cleaning.4} The rules of organizing and5} The rules of sila.The parents must train the children with the four factors of life and the household work." />" /> " />
