Maitreya Part 5 : No Power
Taking the cue from 'Maitreya Part 3' and 'Maitreya Part 4', I would like to adapt it even further ........
One day, a man stood up in front of an assemblage and asked Maitreya, "People say Buddhas have powers. What power do you have?"
Looking at the man, Maitreya replied,
"Sir, people because of power, hurt, harm, kill and destroy;
People because of power, lie, steal, cheat, delude and deceive;
People because of power, become haughty, greedy, conceited and treat people with condescension;
People because of power, act, pretend, fake and undertook the path of false and abandon the path of Truth and Honesty ........
I have NO power.
I LET GO of power."
"从古事到现在,
人们 -
为了钱,
为了权,
为了名,
为了利 -
不择手段,
对家人
作出伤天害理的事."
"人们 -
想钱想到疯;
想性/色想到疯;
想权想到疯;
想名想到疯;
想利想到疯.......
到头来,
还不是一场空?"
"People are crazy, crazy in the brain.
People are mad, SO MAD they do NOT realised they're MAD."
