The Buddha stated in a sutra that a soldier, a person who lives as a soldier, must possess four qualities in order to be a king or a hero who can successfully win wars. The four elements of virtue are:
1- Thankaslo: Being wise in the battlefield, meaning that the trenches and positions of the army must be prepared firmly and with the utmost care, confident and safe, because it is a position where one must fight to the death with the enemy, having a strong spirit, being alert, calm but sharp, brave, having a sharp will, and focusing on the target. This is the discipline of a warrior.
2- Ture Bati: Being wise in shooting from a distance, meaning that one must know how to use weapons, fight at the right time, shoot, which weapon should be used to shoot close up, which weapon should be used to shoot from a distance. If one is not wise, even our weapons can kill us.
3- Akhn Veti: Being a straight shooter, meaning that one has experience, ability, is good at shooting guns or is good at commanding to shoot at the enemy's position or the location of the arsenal, and most importantly, is straight and on target.
4- Bhato Kayas Pataletha Hoti: Being a shooter who can destroy a large army, meaning that one can shoot and destroy the enemy, to crush them, to make them afraid. Unable to resist, especially the great commander. If the army possesses these four qualities, it is an excellent army hero, capable of winning wars and succeeding in all tasks.
He expressed this comparison as winning the worldly war, the Tathagata won the dharma war with the king of Mara.
-The location of the village is virtue, a strong trench, a glorious location, greetings to the monks.
-A shooter who can shoot far, insight, knowledge, clearly knows the nature of the paramita in the form of the paramita and the name of the paramita.
-A shooter who is straight, direct, piercing, clearly understands the four noble truths.
-A shooter who breaks the large army is ignorance, a great commander with the strength of the path of arahantship. This is the way to win the war from the king of Mara, who has a large army. I wish the leaders and brave soldiers success in all tasks. (Bhikkhus Dhammathero)
The Buddha always praised that the elephant is the protective shield of the king, the monk and disciple are the protective shield of Buddhism, and the army is the protective shield of the nation. Because that person has physical strength, strong mind, experience, skills, clear skills, sufficient ability, courage, and the courage to fight and resist the enemy at all times. Because that person has five qualities of auspiciousness:
1- Being obedient, wise, able to consider and understand events in a timely manner, and respectful of the leader
2- Being able to keep the senses strong, even when seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, hot, cold, or thinking about anything, they are not afraid, trembling, or shocked, having intelligence, consciousness, and alertness in all circumstances
3- Being able to have patience, perseverance, and perseverance, and a strong will, even when there are obstacles and dangers to life, they still have the strength of body and mind to persevere and not give up
4- Being able to sacrifice, change, and dare to sacrifice fresh blood, fresh flesh, and life for the nation, for religion, and for the King (physical hardship is willing, mental hardship is also accepted for the benefit of all)
5- Being able to always move forward, not to retreat, having a clear strategy according to the set goal until success. This is the virtue that is the only way to be able to fulfill all your duties, roles and missions for the sake of protecting the land, the nation and Buddhism, to be strong, prosperous, peaceful and dignified for a long time. May all patriotic soldiers be healthy and successful in all their duties. (Bhikkhu Dhammatthero)
"Remember, my child! Study hard to have a future. Studying is tiring, but if you live with ignorance, you will be tired all your life. "Anger becomes a habit
When I was a child, when I was angry, I always used force to express my feelings — like slamming the door. This is a manifestation of the child's inability to control himself, thinking that making a loud noise can make others pay attention or be afraid.
But when I grew up, I changed my habit. When I felt very angry, I kept quiet. This does not mean that the heart is no longer angry or has no feelings! But it is an important understanding:
1- Shutting the door loudly does not solve any problems, except to make noise, and it can even destroy the relationships that we have worked hard to build for a long time.
Many people mistakenly believe that anger is a sign of strength. In fact, anger that erupts without control does not show your power or influence! It is simply evidence that you have completely lost control.
People who are truly influential and confident do not need to shout at others! They use their energy to analyze the situation and find solutions with a cool head.
In each person’s life, the most difficult thing to change is not finding a good love! It is to change and control your own anger. Anger is a hidden enemy that can destroy your physical health (such as heart disease), mental health and personal relationships.
Remember! Those who know how to control their anger have already won half the battle of life.
The reason they win is because they clearly understand the meaning of strength (True Strength):
2- True strength is not using influence to suppress others (not shouting loudly or closing doors to scare them), but it is the high ability to keep your spirit calm, strong and dignified in all circumstances (being quiet and analytical).
Self-control is a pillar of maturity and allows us to make the smartest decisions, even in the most difficult situations. This is the key to success. Don't be arrogant for long, both in your personal life and in social relationships.
