With My Power

With the power vested in mefrom my own practice,I now pronounce you as curedfrom your "original sin." In Buddhism there is no such thingas the original sin that you carrybecause one of your topmost ancestorsmade a terrible transgression. In Buddhism,you carry your own Karma. But the very reason you are aliveand well and able to study Dharmameans that the good Karma you carryis more than the bad Karma. What's more, Buddhism offers you the only hope to modify and make better your Karma through good - thoughts, - speech, - actions. So if you are a serious practitioner,you will practice to modifythe deeds you do. If you are advanced in practice,your wisdom within will distinguishdoing of deeds from non-doing --like meditationbrings you the highest good deeds. Yes, it is hard to understand,but like everything in Buddhism,you have to do it yourselfto see the results.Then you can decidewhether to believe it or not,but please don't ever decidewithout doing it on your ownand seeing for yourself. What your thinking decidesis Mara's. What your pure mind decidesfrom being stillis BUDDHA's. Be wise and follow the highwayof Buddhism.~ Desmond Chiong
