ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
The following subject matter is very important for all
families; whoever wants to get married, whoever wants to have
children, whoever wants to have a husband or a wife must
study these pages to gain a deep understanding. This is because
all problems that develop in a family revolve around these
issues. If they study this text carefully, they will benefit greatly.
But if they lack an understanding of this, they will face many
troubles. This knowledge is called, "Dhamma for Laypersons
(Gharavas-dhamma): the Vital Heart of a Stable Family.'
A Family's Typical Problems
Before a person gets married, he/she already has a set of
imperfections. But when two people form a family, they are
unable to avoid conflict arising from these imperfections. Thus,
any family who lacks even one element of the Dhamma for
Laypersons - the four elements being truthfulness (Sacca),
self-control (Dama), endurance (Khanti), and sacrifice
(Caga) will certainly experience one or more of four
problems:
1) The problem of suspicion.
2) The problem of foolishness, of not keeping up with
the world, people, or surrendering to defilements.
3) The problem of being tired of each other.
4) The problem of selfishness.
It is best not to allow these four major problems to arise
in the family. If they begin to materialize, then quickly find a
solution so that they do not increase in magnitude. These very
problems can escalate to such a degree that they can become
persistent and endless.
Problem #1: The problem of suspicion.
In today's world, although people may be part of the same
family, a typical disease that develops is suspicion.
It is not only between husband and wife that suspicion
increases, and not only among siblings, but there is also
suspicion between parents and children. So there is no need to
even mention others who are not part of the same bloodline or
people who are not in the same family. They don't have this
disease.
The fact is, there are many facets to suspicion. Some
suspicions are caused by jealousy, some are because of
inequality, some are due to unfairness, and the most dangerous
suspicion results from a lack of responsibility.
No matter what the source of suspicion is, the longer
family members live with each other, the more suspicion can
increase.
