“Doing together is better than doing alone. Doing only is better than doing with ignorance and attachment. With this right understanding I am trying to do together at much at possible. Besides, i try to do with mindfulness and detachment. In both doing alone or doing together, i emphasize to do with mindfulness and detachment. Detachment is knowing about our own ignorance and attachment. Most people cannot understand about doing only or doing with mindfulness and detachment. That’s why they may emphasize to be united, not to happen problems between each other to get success in teamwork. They can accept only success, they cannot accept failure or loss. What I understand about Dhamma is not being united, having problems between each other. What i understand about Dhamma is being united and not being united, having friendly each other and fighting each other, understanding each other and not understanding each other, both are nature. I understand to accept both, young and old, life and death, healthy and sickness, meeting and departure. All these are nature, we cannot avoide. If we reject death there will be no life, if we reject sickness there will be no healthy, if we reject loss there will be no success for sure. That’s why I try to accept both. Because of abilities of accept both good and bad, right and wrong, loss or failure and success or ensure not being united, fighting each other, misunderstanding. Therefore, I can save my time not to solve these problems, i can continue doing good deeds together with changing people, time and place. I can also emphasize to doing only with mindfulness and detachment. I am also able to teach my followers and the people in society to understand and practise like this. Therefore, thabarwa center became stable and powerful because the abilities of doing good deeds together with mindfulness and detachment became stronger than doing good deeds together with ignorance and attachment.”
