Contd...... Yebang Diwase Diwase Obadati = This was what sermoned (By Buddha) everyday. My respectful salutation to the newly ordained nun. I feel she is one of the luckiest person in this planet; she achieved all the rare events that Buddha have mentioned. She born as a human being at the time when Dhamma is propagating. She heard Dhamma, understood it and developed devotion (Sarda). She developed such a strong devotion that she could abandon everything (name, fame, wealth, friends, relatives) to practice the teaching of enlightened one. Oh you lucky woman! You got all the rare events of the life. I know from my own experience, it is termendiously difficult to achieve all of these rare events. First - Buddha's teaching doesn't exist always. This is the first rare event. Second- To born as a wise human being is the second rare event. Third- Opportunity to listen the true Dhamma, the law of nature. We all have achieved first two rare events but lot many got filtered in the third one. Very few would have got opportunity to come in the contact of the pure Dharma, the law of nature. Many of us die wihthout learing about the Dhamma, the path of purification. Forth- Haveing known the Dhamma, to understand it till the level of devotion is rarer. Very few of those who listen, read and learn about Dhamma can understand it and feel for its importance. I have found many critics of Dharma without its proper study. I also have seen significant numbers whose brain is transparet to Dharma. Big filteration happens here. Fifth- To abandon everything to get established in it is the rarest. Termendiously small quantiy of those who can acheive up to forth rare event, can accomplish the fifth one. This is ultra-fine-porus filter paper. I know so many people who understood Dhamma and its importance, but can not abandon everything for its practice. Indeed, it is rarest. She has achieved all the uncommons, she is one of the luckiest. Dharma is to practice good qualities. Its not easy to wash out your bad qualities to make room for good qualities. Practice of Dhamma is the cleaning up the mind. That can be done without renunciation too. However, renunciation is like a full time job to clean up the mind. Anyone who works more will get more, this is law of nature. That's why renunciation is always praised by wise ones. Enlightenment is the purest state of the mind which can be achieved through the practice of Dhamma. Dhamma is like a detergent to clean up the mind. More you clean up, more happiness persists in your mind. Once you cleaned everything, you acheived the highest happiness which is called enlightenment. This is Buddha's teaching.
