Our mind creates our own world. Hence we can transform it to be a better and proper dwelling place for ourselves in such a way, we can embrace happiness and peace and provide skillful means to guide and help others using our compassion and wisdom. When our mind ceases, we end up with satisfaction of our accomplishment like our Lord Buddha.
" When we are in bad shape, most of us will pray to Bodhisattvas for help. Whom shall the Bodhisattavas ask for help if they are having some problems? " Asked one of my students. It is not an easy question to answer.
During Lord Buddha's time, his own tribe, all of them were related to him were killed and wiped out completely by the enemies. Lord Buddha couldn't save them. Karma overruled everything, no one could help, not even Lord Buddha with all his supernatural power.
It means to say that when our bad karma is ripened, we have to face the music.
However Lord Buddha taught us a very good method to overcome the bad karma. He said," Plant good seeds everyday and to allow the good seeds in our consciousness to ripen quickly so that there is no time or chance for the bad seeds to ripen. Should one of the bad seed is about to ripen, try to stop it by not allowing a reason or a course for it to ripen, then this bad will die a naturally death."
Take for an example while drinking with your friend, your friend picks up a hot argument with you. This karma that is going to happen is your friend will kill you with a knife. As a meditator,and you don't feel too good over such situation, you simply said sorry to your friend and walk away. So you don't allow a reason or a course for your friend to kill you. This means you have stopped this bad seed for ripening. ( 2 cents opinion )
