QUOTE(Joey-kun @ Aug 24 2010, 03:24 PM) fate dosent exist in Buddhism because everything can change depending on how much effort you put to displacing the conditions that cause you to be in such a way. IMHO there are two definition of fate1) the pre planned path by super beings 2) coincidence |

QUOTE(Maxieos @ Sep 12 2010, 03:24 AM) Same term apply.If we "knew" we can control/change destiny.But do remember there's a profit and loss.If we gain , someone will loss , so under the teaching , gain = greed so it's not under any of those teaching guidance.Just let the destiny decide. there`s a talk by ajarn bhran, he said thus " if we elt go of this desire to gain, then there would be no desire to learn dhamma, desire to reach enlightenment, desire to help and be compassionate at all" That's why wise said let the fate/destiny be .When it comes , we face and accept it then we fix , lastly , we leave it.It's just like a wind , when it blow we accept the wind , we fix the window with double side tape to prevent glass break and after it wind go , we remove the tape and leave it as usual. we must not let go this basic desire, but be specific and ready to let go when the time comes |
