We all need to be mindful of paying attention to whatever we do or whatever within ourselves. To get our personal success, we just need to be dutiful on what we are doing now. The total power of doing good deeds should be stronger than the total power of making mistakes. If we are doing good deeds only by ourselves, we are responsible only for ourselves. If we are doing good deeds together like this, we are responsible for the whole group. That’s why doing good deeds in teamwork is much more better than alone. My teaching is about the Truth of doing good deeds in general. The aim of doing good deeds together is to know the Truth of doing good deeds in teamwork. The more we can know about doing good deeds in teamwork, the more we can do good deeds together. The more we do good deeds together, the more we can know about doing good deeds in teamwork. In this way, there will be more and more teamwork good deeds and more and more people will cooperate with us. It can be worldwide.

When we are doing good deeds together; we have to use time, place, condition, person… all these are changing at every present moment. All these are always unstable, not sure, uncertain. That’s why if we see from the side of one of the time, places, conditions, situations, or one of the people; we will see only instability and uncertainty for sure. We also try to accept the instability and uncertainty of time, place, condition, person in order to endure this Impermanent Nature. I can accept nothing or no one is concerned with living beings and non-living beings. Nothing or no one is reliable. That’s why I can rely on the Truth or doing good deeds at the present moment. Besides, I can accept and endure. If someone says I am not reliable and Thabarwa center is not reliable, I can accept this and I can endure. It is no need to make any response, just need to continue doing good deeds. I can accept the teaching of Buddha which is not to do bad, to do good, and to purify the mind. When I am practicing the teaching of Buddha, I focus on being doing-only. I don’t focus on anyone and I don’t focus on me even myself. I just focus on obeying Buddha – Dhamma – Sangha by doing-only. That’s why I can also teach the others to focus on doing-only in order to detach from time, places, conditions, persons concerned.

When we are doing good deeds together, we should emphasize our present actions of doing good deeds. We should not emphasize the people who are involving in this group. In this way, I have no problem with anyone. This is the way I’m teaching the people about how to not making problems with each other; and even if there are problems, they can be able to endure. The more I teach like this, the more I am able to do like this. Teaching is the best of learning for sure. Actually we are responsible only for ourselves, we are not responsible for others. That’s why we should emphasize the knowing and correct our mistakes to do the good deeds which we cannot do to purify the mind continuously. We don’t need to worry about the others who can understand and practice like this or not. If we are skillful in doing good deeds, the other people who are concerned with us also have a chance to be skillful like us. No one can change the mistakes and weaknesses of human beings and society to be perfect and complete. We should try to accept this truth and forgive the mistakes between each other; we should try to endure each other. On our side, we are right and on their side or view, they are right. This is the truth of the society. We should try to accept it and stop arguing with each other.

Grasping this method is right and rejecting other methods is the reason why we are rejected by the others. If you think “I am right” and “I am good”, you are rejecting the others who are right and good. That’s why you will be rejected by the others also. This is cause and effect. In this way, we are right and good only in our thoughts. If we are really right and good, many people may accept it. Because of not really good and right, we are just being accepted by ourselves. We can never be really good and right until we can let go or abandon this kind of thinking. Creating our life by the thinking of others is truly wrong. We should create our life by our own actions of doing good deeds at the present moment. Many people nowadays are busy with money, power, fame, education, health care… In fact, we should be busy doing good deeds. What we can do now by keeping precepts and purifying the mind. Even if we are not successful in doing good deeds; we are sure to be able to detach from money, power, fame, education, health care… In this way, we can be free from stress and disappointment and all the other mental diseases.
