7 things Buddha taught about preserving happiness

Almost everyone wants to have peace of mind in their life. Everyone wants to forget about their hardships, worries and anxieties and enjoy moments of inner peace and freedom from worries and sorrows.

So, if people want to safely pass through the harsh "fate" of life, they need to do the following to avoid all karmic retribution.

To avoid all karma, one needs peace in life (illustrative photo)

1. Don't lieWe should tell the truth, always tell the truth, even about small things, because lying over and over will become a habit, and usually if you lie once, you will have to lie again to cover up the previous lie. Gradually, the lie cannot be covered up anymore, and wrong actions will occur, creating wrong karma... Serious consequences also come from lying. If you lie too much, everyone will know, and will not believe you anymore. Living without anyone believing you is really miserable. (You can lie to save people)

2. Do not exaggerateis not to add or subtract, listen to the story here and then tell it to others, but often when retelling, add a little to increase the exaggeration and appeal, like that, sometimes just a bunch of water spinach can affect world peace.

3. No two-way talk,Also known as double-tongued, such as badmouthing this person, then badmouthing that person, badmouthing everyone, just praising someone and then turning their backs and immediately badmouthing others, stabbing and dividing people everywhere, causing people to misunderstand each other, family quarrels and break up, which can lead to irreparable things. Those who are unlucky enough to be homosexuals also have this karma, because in the past they always spoke to and divided others, so in this life they have to bear the karma.

4. No adultery

Not committing adultery means not living with someone who is not your wife or husband. Any sexual relationship between a man and a woman that is not recognized by law or society is considered adultery.

The pleasure of adultery is temporary but its consequences are terrible.

A person may be destined to be rich and noble, but if he commits adultery, he may become miserable and suffer all his life. A person may be destined to enjoy happiness and longevity, but if he commits adultery, he may become disabled or die young...

5. Do not say bad or vulgar words… We should not say evil words, speak for pleasure, only use harsh words to curse and insult others, evil mind then say evil then do evil, body mouth and mind are both evil then the day to go to hell is not far away, do not curse people, do not say vulgar and unpleasant words…

6. Reference space

Greed is expressed through the following attitudes:

- Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, not satisfied with what you have

- Always feel deprived, want more of this, more of that...

- Always eyeing other people's property and assets.

- Always want to plunder, seize, and snatch other people's property.

Greed makes people always feel insecure, miserable and even do anything to satisfy themselves. It can be said that greed is the cause of all sins.

7. Do not lie, False Speech is saying you know but don't know, saying you don't know but don't know, being arrogant and conceited, boasting and making a big deal out of nothing, standing in a crowd and saying useless words, saying wrong things but thinking they are right, like saying you have attained something but haven't attained it yet, that is Great False Speech, shouting that you are an enlightened monk, you are a god, you can bestow blessings and curses... taking advantage of everyone to worship you... that is Great False Speech, a sin that is extremely great.
