This morning, our bus to temple came so late... That time what I had in my mind was not angriness to the bus driver, but uncomfortable feeling toward the others.
As I examined deeper, I know that the uncomfortable feeling arose because I was afraid of others' bad opinion to 'TaraBuddY or maybe in particular to me.. I deeply said SORRY and THANK YOU for those people who still patiently waited for the bus and accompanied me there.
Now, what does this teach me?
This world is full of unexpected things and we must not being affected by this. Just like the case above, all of us expected that we would go to temple and joined Puja, but we stuck in front of Lagoon View, waiting for the bus. Thus, if unexpected things occur in life; don't be sad over it, remain in calmness. If expected things occur in life; don't be too overjoyed, still remain in calmness. It is because all things are impermanence. Good or bad things will pass, for sure.
Like what Buddha said, "What people expect to happen is always different from what actually happens. From this comes great disappointment; this is the way the world works." (Sutta Nipata).
