Flows like a boat~

flows like a boat...

the real life, we need to sail on the river of causes and conditions..

if we put our craving on one of the causes and conditions,

we would put our stop at the particular situation..

as we do not understand that every situation will changes~ ignorance,

we will eventually lead ourselves to have the worries and make our life miserable,

because the nature of each situations and things is changes and impermanence

flows like a boat,

a boat does not cling on with particular waves of water

even if we tied it up or anchor it up,

we will still find it float up on the water and letting the waves pass by it naturally

even though the boat still keep in contact with the water but the boat does not cling to particular waves or parts of the water...

if it does, we wont find any particular ways to tie the boat as the boat will hold on to the particular waves and goes where the particular waves heading to..

just like our life,

the waves of water resembled the waves of causes and conditions of our life,

there are many challenges, joys, sadness, and so on..

but these things are just waves of the river

they will come and they will go

they will be born and they will die

if we try to cling to particular situation,

we are trying to act like a boat trying to cling on a particular waves of water

it is naturally impossible to cling on

but we trying to act against the nature

and at last we brings suffering to ourselves as our efforts do not pay off...

so,

flow like a boat

everyone has his or her water to sail on...

some might sailing on the lake

some might on the sea,

river maybe,

big longkang,

maybe the water is calm,

maybe the water is as fierce as the tsunami,

no matter which and where you sail on,

much much waves will come

and they will certainly go

there is impossible act that we want to cling to one of them

when we can be like a boat,

we will find the joy of living in the moment

we will not put ourselves in the future to the coming waves

neither we will also not put ourselves in the past of the past waves

what we are living on is the current state which in the moment of each waves keep in contact with us

if we can live up to every moment,

there is no doubt for us to feel the true and real happiness...

the true happiness,

is not the external happiness which we usually feel from doing things we like...

it is actually from our inner heart and gives us the energy to make our life more meaningful

it also gives us the feel of stability of the big and strong mother earth ground..

flows like a boat in your water, my friends...
