1) Learn Dharma to recognize your own mistakes which is done by 3 poisons. Therefore check and find out your own mistakes instead of pointing at others mistakes. If you point at others mistakes then you are creating your own bad karma.
2) Meaning of Dharma is MAKE. Dharma is the only one that can make our negative mind into positive. That is why meaning of Dharma is MAKE. If our Dharma is not making our negative into positive, you must be thinking that offering lamps, reciting mantras, going to the temple to pray are Dharma, then you are wrong. Those are not Dharma. Those are just worshipping to fulfill your wishes only. Real Dharma is to first search your ego and anger then you try to control it. That is call Dharma
3) This life is similar to water bubbles. The time of death will come anytime. So life is not worth clinging to the world's fruits. Because at this moment it's immediately delicious but in the long term it brings harm. Therefore do not get attached too much to worldly things
4) In order to become the Buddha, seek to abandon attachments to this world.
In order to abandon attachments to this world,
seek to recognize the sufferings of this world.
5) Point of dharma view.
Anger is hatred. Be it you are right or wrong.
We learn the dharma to abandon anger, we must control our anger even if that person is 100% wrong and you are 100% right.
If you don't then it is useless to learn dharma, because dharma teaches us to control our anger.
If no one makes you angry then how do we control our anger?
One's anger can destroy 1000 good karma.
6) Guru Yoga ~
The Root Guru is your root teacher, root advisor, root guidance and root instructor. We are the one who chose him to be our guide to us, to teach us and to point out to us when we are wrong. Due to our ignorance, we don't recognize our body, speech and mind's mistakes.
That is why we chose one master as our Root Guru to point our mistakes and instruct us.
If you don't agree with him when he points your mistakes, then why did you choose him as your Root Guru?
Therefore take his instructions and change your bad actions of the body, speech and mind.
Guru bless you.
