Anger
ANGER
Anger is born out of lust; and lust is the result of contemplation of the senses on material objects.
Beauty
BEAUTY
It is unfortunate that people are attracted to the beauty of this world that is not real – it shrivels and dies.
Knowledge and Wisdom
KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

Suffering In The World
SUFFERING IN THE WORLD
Everyone is suffering. Everyone experiences birth, disease, old age and death. Everyone experiences fear, loneliness, emptiness, confusion, mental agitation, and heartache. Yet a fool, despite the fact that he keeps getting his teeth kicked in, never thinks twice about the whole thing...
Peace
PEACE
People cannot remain as materialistic, selfish people and have peace and harmony in the family, society or world.
Real Identity
WHO ARE YOU? DISCOVERING YOUR REAL IDENTITY

Seeking satisfaction
SEEKING SATISFACTION
If you identify your body as yourself, you will try to satisfy yourself by trying to satisfy your body. You'll think, "I am the body and I want to be happy, I want to be satisfied." Thus, you'll try to satisfy the belly, the tongue, the genitals, the ears, the eyes, the nose, and so on, believing that this will bring you the inner satisfaction and happiness you crave.
But sense gratification does not satisfy. This is further evidence that you are not the body. No matter how much sense pleasure you have, you are still never satisfied within.
