LIFE
(needs transcendental merit)

Born alone, die alone, we don't know

when our final moment may arrive.

If we die unexpectedly,

do we want to find ourselves

in a hell realm?

Doesn't it bother you to think that

your time in this life

may be for naught?

Don't you feel sorry for the wasted time,

and the wasted life?

The purpose of our life is to pursue

"Perfection"(para mi).

Preserve and protect our merit.

Only merit will carry us through to the end.

Transcendental merit

(merit gained from meditation)

is very important.

How much do you expect of life

when you have accumulated

so little transcendental merit?

KHUN YAI (คุณยายมหัศจรรย์) (14):: We were born alone, and we will die alone.

KHUN YAI

(คุณยายมหัศจรรย์)

(14)

We were born alone,

and we will

die

alone.

There is no need

to worry about others

if you can't

even save yourselves.

If we can't

save ourselves

and don't have a firm grip

on our own refuge,

Then may be

we are not

good enough

to save others.

 We, ourselves,

may be

vulnerable

to Mara.

Now that

we have

found

Buddhism,

Now that

we have found

the most important

and beneficial knowledge,

What are we

still

waiting

for?

Why we

are not

reaping

the benefits?

Are we

going to wait

until

we are too old?

KHUN YAI (คุณยายมหัศจรรย์) (12):: If life is to be prosperous,

KHUN YAI
(คุณยายมหัศจรรย์)
(12)

If life
is
to be
prosperous,

One must
create
"blessings"
for oneself.

Think of ways
to bring
auspicious things
into your life.

Try to think
of
only
good,

And positive thoughts
that
are
auspicious.

This will help,
to cultivate
your mind
in a positive direction.

If
your mind
is
wholesome,

Your speech
will
become
auspicious.

Everything you do
is also
will also become
auspicious.

KHUN YAI

(คุณยายมหัศจรรย์)

(12)

Love

yourself.

Build

virtue.

When

your merit

is as big as

a mountain,

your obstacles

will

have no effect

on your.

Remember

theses words

"build virtue;

accumulate merit."

If

you

do

this,

You will

be known

as someone

who values yourself,

Someone

who strives

to be

a better person.

Accumulate

as much merit

as

you can.

One day

your merit

will

be whole,

And all

the success

and happiness

will be yours.

KHUN YAI (คุณยายมหัศจรรย์) (11):: Dhamma is your refuge.

KHUN YAI

(คุณยายมหัศจรรย์)

(11)

Dhamma

is

your

refuge.

I see

all

the way

through.

I see

clearly that,

out of everything

in the world,

and beyond--

physical,

natural

and spiritual--

no one

can

help me

but me.

Who else

can relieve

my

suffering?

No one

can

except

me.

That's why 

I try

to help myself

all the time.

I

find ways

to help

my self.

I

rely

on

myself.

I

rely

on

my Dhamma.

I managed

to survive everything

because I have Dhamma

as my refuge.
