Sleeping in the temple

It may be a strange story when hearing some one stays in a temple. You may imagine to the one who has no house, or is a wandering man, or a poor man or whatever.

Carefully thinking, temple is a quite place where is simple and has no Maya.

It is lucky to me that I find the temple where is the suitable place for me to stay for a few days a week. I enjoy staying alone, reading, meditating and whatever. My simple life develops my spirituality and I have learnt to understand myself and the world better. I realise the peace of mind.

I suggest you finding a temple and sleeping there for some periods of time at least one a year. It is easy to find suitable temples in Thailand. First visiting a temple, just walk to meet an abbot and ask for staying for a couple of days or week. That is a chance to begin devolping your spirituality like me.

Good luck to you to learn yourself.


Learn your bad sides

Are you angry at any person who blames your mistakes or even comments you? Sure, you are angry because you do not learn to know yourself well. You are agry because you hold  that you are a right person, a perfect person. That is an normal thingking of all people who always think they are right. This idea is right only you see yourself, but it may be different from the other eyes.

We have to accept the truth that we are not a perfect one. We can not do any thing that satisfies every body. So, learning to know your bad sides is a way to discover yourself. Find your bad sides before other point out you. Whoever is blaming you, you will not be angry at them any more because you know yourself very well.


You may write down  a list of your bad sides on your paper and consider how you can manage them. Some days you may wonder why you enjoy with any body who is blaming or commenting you. You may say "that's all right" or "Yes, I am a bad man" like me. 

Good Luck and live peacefully on this changing world.
