Characteristics (tilakkhana), consisting of impermanence (aniccata), suffering (dukkhata), and non-self (anattata). This truth stands behind all living beings in this world. The truths of the Law of Kamma and the Three Characteristics were discovered by the Lord Buddha. Moreover, He discovered how an understanding of these Laws shows the way to achieve the release from suffering. When children consume news carelessly, they will not only be ignorant of the Lord Buddha's teachings but will also have misconceptions about monks. Moreover, they may disregard the truth of the Law of Kamma. When their misunderstanding reaches this level, even when their parents or grandparents wholeheartedly wish to make merit, we can be sure that their children will be unwilling to support them. The worst-case scenario is when children obstruct others' desire to do good deeds. They think that making merit is a waste and offering alms to monks encourages indolence. This same reasoning is used by those who do not believe in the Law of Kamma. It is very difficult to persuade the media to increase their news coverage about monks who have devoted their lives to the betterment of society. As parents, we must teach and cultivate our children to carefully evaluate and differentiate between what is right and wrong before coming to conclusions about monks. Do not make a hasty decision. If our children follow these criteria, as parents, we are guaranteed their support to allow us to make merit during our final days. At the same time, monks and novices will be supported and able to spend their time developing their virtues, bringing benefit to society. We can be sure that Buddhism will be strong and stable in Thailand for many years to come. The Warm Hearted Family. 388 Solving Buddhism's Crisis The Warm Hearted Family 389 Solving Buddhism's Crisis
