" Through conducting his life impeccably and reaping the most benefit out of birth into this world, a person can attain such confidence in his life that he fears nothing, not even death. "

   When roles are based on compassion rather than exploitation, we may find that they are not the evils we thought they were, ans that in fact they can simplify and harmonize our lives.

    Many people today look on life in all sectors as a struggle between conflicting interests _ the "bosses" against the " Workers" the "government" against the "people" the "rich" against the "poor" and ever the "women" against the "men" or the "Children" against the "parents". When the aim of life is seen as material wealth or power, society becomes a struggle between conflicting personal interests, and we are in need of ethic to protect those interests. It is a "negative ethic":society is based on selfish interests-"the right of each and every person to pursue happiness" and an ethic, such as "human rights", is needed to keep everybody from cutting each other'sthroats in the process. The Buddhist teachings are a "positive ethic": well-being, rather than power or riches, is the aim< society is seen as a medium through which all people have equal opportunity to maximize self-development and well-being, and ethics are used to facilitate those ends.

#3: LOVE YOUR CHILDREN

          THE RIGHT WAY

" For a bright future of your loved ones, this book on children, which you are about to read, was brought about by the pressure of the social phenomena in the present time.  Most parents have no knowledge to teach or to train their children. They often are too permissive and do not reprimand their children when they made any mistakes. So it is easy for their children to become spoiled. Parents love their children very much. But if that love is excessive it will damage the children. We should strat thinking how to love our children just right. Chidren are a foundation of our nation. If parents teach their children the right way, they will become good citizens. When they grow up they will be able to work and become useful to our country. Those who want to help the country go forward can do so by helping the children to develop properly and in the right way. "

" It is not at all easy nor a minor responsibility to be a perfect father/mother. The responsibility does not stop only when a child has been created in this world.  You can not think only in term of, " to have a house to live in, a bed to sleep on, a pillow to rest their head, a means to support" It is not totally correct to think that is all that is needed. The most important point depends on whether you have developed a guideline for your children to live their lives in such a way that they "have a bright future".
