The weather
The good weather comes, the bad weather too. Nothing we can do about the weather.
It is of little use to complain about the weather, just as it is of no use to be upset about our lives, or to be sad about events in our lives.
Certainly we can pray to the gods for "better weather," but will this be crowned with success?
As with the weather, so it is with our destiny. Whether we like what is happening in our lives or not, if we accept what is coming and how it is coming or not, we have to accept the weather as well. When we stop questioning our karma, then we have made a big step in our personal development.
Just as Buddha taught us, we must always accept our destiny, no matter how it comes, "good" or "bad", "happy" or "sad".
Do you know the song "I am singing in the rain"? When life seems hard again, the days bring little "happy", then it is exactly the right time for a song.
Just accept your karma, just like the weather, don't worry about the vagaries of fate anymore. Better think about the way out that Buddha advised us to do. His advice to us was to strive for "awakening."
According to his teaching, "enlightenment" lies dormant in each of us, wanting to be discovered.
According to Buddha's teaching, there is no "good" and no "bad" weather, there is simply weather.
SUNSHINE IS DELICIOUS, RAIN IS REFRESHING, WIND IS CHALLENGING, SNOW MAKES YOU HAPPY; BASICALLY THERE IS NO BAD WEATHER, ONLY DIFFERENT KINDS OF GOOD WEATHER.
- JOHN RUSKIN - BRITISH WRITER - 1819 TO 1900
According to the Buddha's teaching, therefore, there are "enlightened" and "unenlightened" beings.
