ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า

"First, we must try to go to them indirectly. Do you see? We will only be here for seven days so we must be patient. We should always train ourselves to speak kindly and by doing this, we will gain big boon from this new patience. This is the Buddha’s teaching. So do not harm others. We can create big baap with impatience. But we can create big boon with patience and kindliness. "Within this week, you will all be following the eight precepts7, and you should follow them with good manners. If you do this, you will not interrupt other people’s meditation because you will be quiet and sabai8. You must always think of the other people around you. You should sit apart when meditating to find your own ‘good’ space. And also because of body heat. You should change your meditation position quietly so that you do not disturb other people. You should have good manners whether you are walking, eating, drinking, and talking. When you follow the eight precepts, you should try to follow them completely. "You can benefit from these teachings more than you think. The Buddha started out with eight precepts — not the two hundred twenty-seven that the monks follow today. And, further, if you follow them perfectly, they can lead you to Arahantship. "Additionally, you should eat properly. And eat in the right quantity. Always four or five bites less than fullness. This is the proper quantity of food. You need a lot of strength in order to train yourself. "Take, for example, the mosquito: shooing them away is much better than smacking them. When you smack them, chances are they will be killed. So think of the mosquito and his or her family the next time you want to kill that mosquito. You should control yourself in order to strengthen yourself. "Remember, too, that solitude is important. Although you are amongst eight thousand women, you must try to always be sabai. You should be with yourself more, with no interruptions, because you need to be centered and mindful all of the time. You need 7 Eight Precepts: (1) No killing any living being, (2) No stealing or taking anything that does not belong to you, or is given to you, (3) No sexual contact, (4) No Lying or False Speech, (5) No ingestion of illegal substances or alcohol, (6) No wearing jewelry, cosmetics, perfume, or anything that makes you “stand out”, (7) No eating after 12 Noon, (8) No sleeping on a bed higher than 8 inches from the ground and/or is to luxurious. 8 Sabai: Cool, calm, comfy. A feeling of softness and ease.
