Teachings

The 84,000 sutras which exist today were actually written, at that time in history, in the present day, day by day, just as our present-day teaching of Buddha is actually being written today, day by day, until as time goes by, the teachings come together once again to become the 84,000 sutras.

What happens today becomes tomorrow’s history. Today’s negative thoughts, speech, and actions become tomorrow’s negative situations, the history of what we have made today.

Of course, today’s positive thoughts, speech, and actions become tomorrow’s positive history.

It is just like this: Whether we make negative karma or positive karma, we actually make it today. If, because of one’s past negative karma, one makes negative karma again today, when will this negative karma disappear? When will one come out of ignorance?

If one stays on the path of Buddha, remains clear, and does correct actions, then one can eliminate one’s past negative karma, and make good karma today, which will become one’s good virtue for tomorrow.

In the future, today’s teaching will help everyone to come out of ignorance, to find clarity and emancipation, to become correct human beings, and to do many bodhisattva actions. These teachings will lead us to live for others, to do our correct functions and duties as human beings, and to live most meaningful, appreciative lives, so that we can have infinite joyous nirvana, and become great workers for world peace.

Thus, we can adorn this world with true beauty and become true, sincere sons and daughters of Buddha. This important teaching, which is a message from Buddha, will make us most beautiful human beings.

What I am teaching you is not new. You heard about it before in either this or a past life. This daily teaching is simply to remind us so that we can be clear and live correctly in this and future lives. Believing this teaching is entirely the decision of the one who reads it. In addition, applying one’s own concept to this teaching is the choice of the reader himself or herself. © Ji Kwang Dae Poep Sa Nim
