Comfort comes from Inside, not Outside

Buddha only requires us to do five things, what else can we do if we couldn't even follow the five things...?



All i am required to follow is the five precepts.

1. I will be mindful and
reverential with all life,
I will not be violent nor will I
kill.

2. I will respect the
property of others, I will not steal.

3. I will be conscious and loving
in my relationships,
I will not give way to lust.

4. I will honor honesty and
truth, I will not deceive.

5. I will exercise proper care
of my body and mind,
I will not be gluttonous nor abuse
intoxicants.

Which of the five which i haven't do? Don't i feel guilty? Yes, i do. Well, maybe it's much easier to say than done. But i'm pretty sure that these five precepts do not require a godly person to follow all of them. I believe, that there are people who followed these five precepts till the end. What's the differences i have from them that made me unable to? Will? Determination?

There are two types of friends surround us. One which is the work of Devil, which will give us everything we ever wanted and all the pleasures we seek. Money, sex, intoxication... Everything come from the outside. But of course, there is price to pay.

The other hand, the messenger of God, which only requires us to be good and nothing else. All they ever asked, if for us to be a good person, and continue to be one till our last breath. All they are trying to give, is the comfort we could find inside before Adam and Eve denied God.

Well, let's not care whether it's God or Buddha or Allah. All really matters is the peace we can find within us, and the good we can give to others...

Comfort... comes from inside, not outside.

P.S: And what the heck i'm still awake? I should be sleeping right now. I'm following Dino to KLCC tomorrow early morning. Yeah, by the way, i'm in KL now. And i think i won't be able to online when i got into the woods of Bangi. Take care. :)
