After Bhantes return from alms, after meal, nearly noon, a group of merit hungry Devas around the facebook Abhidhamma teacher Muni arrived.
Polite and rejoicing, the larger group led much ear on talk on Dhamma after Atma, like always, tried them to reflect deeply why coming here. Climbing the depending co-arising and depending co-cessation, in reflective ways up and down on different words, indifferent perspectives, they then desired to go after their "Jain-rituals", seeking householder-equanimity, while meditating in group.
Again Atma urged all to don't rest in ignorance and rest of good merits, telling them that their where householder teach Abhidhamma is where the whole country is in steady war and fire of sensual desire.
But it's merely a pointless effort, as once Equanimity has been developed in the middle of the flood, no way to get them move toward right distinction and kusala ways.
Many of them seen war directly, seeing the effects of sensual desire all around, nevertheless, because currently some merits, gains any disenchantment toward worldly desires at all.
Asked whether my person would walk to Phnom Penh so that elders could do merits, my person refused such invitation and useless undertaking, just increasing the cemeteries in the world.
Not only spoken, the mountain in the south already stood under fire. Asked whether they now would go after merits or prefer to think "not mine" and drive home, their leader felt very urged to leave and so the whole group thought to better think about own instead of doing community duty or even merits, letting it burn, knowing a "save home".
Hurry back, leave the mountain and Ashram go it's way, given all given before to forwad it to monks and nuns, as it's improper to store, they will possible follow the suggestion to make a short visit at Wat
Maha Panna Foundation where likewise ignorant Devas seek for bliss in equanimity within a "secure" palace.
Nyom
Vilā , on got informed about the fire, at least tried to reach out to the neighbor, so that he could protect at least his area.
Really nothing more destructive for societies at large, when teaching on carelessness and householder-equanimity, wellness Buddhism flourishes. Feeling secure, while in the middle of collapse, it's just a matter of short time till again having missed to take on the last way out.
May the Devas protect all around and let it rain quick, when ever there is still some merit and occasion left and in reach.
Countless urged that enter the forest with machines, greed after pointless merits, either they will no more come, as requiring metta and Sila, or heating up fires, again and again.
Seeing Dukkha is very hard, seeing the cause related to oneself then, even harder, as long as thinking able to escape in common ways.
So better go on an seek to join to destroy the next forest and societies with thing, money and drugs, hire to burn counter-fires around homes.
People meet together, again and again, are bound together on an element. Sometimes leader could to good for their folk, but worldly desires and gains, weakness, holds them back. Bond, they wander on.
Nevertheless huge sacrifices, bearing to listen to the many "unpleasing" words, causing surely much irritation, as time and occasion are sure to come, at least at death bed, to possible remember and take, if still possible, the way to leave house, stand, world behind right in time, when fire, flood, robers, diseas, enter right in front.
