incessantly,

beneficial to people

on both sides.

The river never dried;
as well as

generous one or philanthropist
give and give, never poor,
but more richer, amazingly.

 Vast reservoir

  with ever green forest 

and huge mountain surrounded,
is the site of raining,
 never dried.

 The vast reservoir
is as one who
has clear mind,
loves cleaning and tidying,
or observes Five Precepts.

The rain is as
polite one who
has clear and soft mind
 the essence of huge asset

is as the rain.

   The cloud
is as one who
has bright mind,
 love to seek merit
and to accumulate
perfection.

Because life is the least,
and only this world
merit and Perfection
could be done.
And Perfection
is the eternal refuge.

Accumulating Perfection
is as the rainy cloud,
effecting well-being/
happiness and success
of self and all creature.

The ocean
is as meditation,
vapourize ocean water
and condense into cloud,
the source of rain.

Meditation is
the source of wisdom,
which shining the way of life,
to the destination of
happiness and success.

In conclusion,
river-reservoir-rain-
cloud-ocean is
the way of life,
 the Middle Path,
the path of prosperity.

MEDITATION สมาธิ:: The mind can be compared to an ocean.

MEDITATION

สมาธิ

The mind

can be compared

to

an ocean.

And momentary mental events

such as happiness,

irritation, fantasies,

and boredom,

can be compared

to the waves

that rise and fall

on the ocean's surface.

Meditation

is a means

of mental development

and cultivation.

It is through meditation

that our mind

is trained, refined

and perfected.

Meditation

can be practiced

by a lay person

by the benefit of a happy life,

as well as

by a monastic

for the attainment

of liberation.

Meditation

is universal;

it is not only for Buddhists,

but to people of all age.

At its core,

meditation

is about

touching the spiritual essence,

Or the seed

of enlightenment,

that exists

within us all.

This spiritual essence

is not something

that we create

through meditation;

it is already there,

deep within, behind all the barriers,

patiently waiting for us

to recognize it.

One does not have

to be religious

or even interested in religion

to find value in it.

Becoming aware of

yourself "self"

and realizing your spiritual nature

is something that transcends religion.

Anyone who has

explored meditation

knows that it is simply a path

that leads to a new,

more expansive way

of seeing the world around us.

What is meditation?

The mind can be

compared to

an ocean,

And momentary mental events

such as happiness, irritation, fantasies,

and boredom can be compared to the waves

that rise and fall on the ocean's surface.

Just as the waves
can subside
to reveal the stillness
of the ocean's depths,

So too
is it possible to calm
the turbulence of our mind
to reveal its natural clarity.

The ability to do this
within the mind itself
and the key to the mind
is meditation.

Meditation
is a means
of mental development
and cultivation.

It is through meditation
that our mind
is trained,
refined perfected.

Meditation can be practiced
by a layperson
for the benefit
of happy life,

As well as
by a monastic
for the attainment of
liberation.

Meditation is universal.
It is not only
for Buddhists,
but for people of all faith.

At its core, meditation is about
touching the spiritual essence,
or the seed of enlightenment,
