S
had to suffer and was most adversely affected by my
mood swings.
I remember crying my eyes out beholding his soft
skin covered with wheals following the blows that
were of my doings. The abject pang of guilt in my
heart, together with the overwhelming self-doubt I
had towards my parenting abilities, woke me up to
tackle these angry hands of mine. The idea of
practicing meditation as a soul-pacifier crossed and
afterwards stayed on my mind. Besides just
meditating, I embarked on the habit of donating, as
well as observing Buddhist precepts.
The religious differences, of both my husband and I,
triggered frequent arguments. He expressed his
disappointment by saying: "You betrayed me" or "You
are not my sole mate anymore". These cut me
through, but my conscience nevertheless objected to
subserviently relinquishing my pursuance of the
Dhamma, the ultimate purpose in a human's life. In an
attempt to ease the situation, I adopted Luang Phaw's
approach to domestic harmony which was to 'identify
the mutual interest whilst bridging the gap of
difference to alleviate the conflict'.
Both my husband and I had the common interest of
concentrating on our kids as well as on our own
reciprocal affection. The gap between us lies in our
religious differences and I anticipated that my
endeavor to meditate could be the key bridge to bring
us closer together. Eventually one day my
perseverance was repaid when my husband
approached me for instructions in meditation.
Even more conducive to the success of my ongoing
effort to bridge the gap was Luang Phaw's initiative of
the Inner Dreams Kindergarten, the satellite
broadcasting program whereby the Buddha's teachings
on the cycle of Kamma the underlying mechanism
for the material consequences of virtuous and vicious
deeds - reached audiences around the globe. I myself
too came to a genuine understanding of how things
that went around manage to come around through this
very channel. Not only has Luang Phaw's crystal clear
elaboration simplified the sophisticated knowledge,
his preaching surrounding the concept of
unconditional, boundless and inclusive love was also
paramount.
