Advanced Thai Conversation (NibbanaTopics) A yearning to be or do good




  Thai Language (NIBBANA Topic) : ธรรมทาน ๒๘  A yearning to be or do good


          In accordance with the scientific or biological principles of development, especially those of Charles Darwin, or Buddhist principles of twenty-four factors and 'paticcasamuppada' (the dependent origination), we will easily notice generally that the world is slowly 'moving upward' either inching towards the material forms and benefits or the human mental and spiritual well-being. It does not stop still or fall back into low circumstances. Whether the world clings itself to spirituality or attaches to the material side as the important part of human life depends on the era of human historical development. 

Whatever it is, it all shows that the internal human instinct, together with external supporting factors, solely work to pull the human development to the good side because deep down in the human hearts or minds, there is a yearning to be or do good.


From : 'Nibbana'  Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
