How to avoid mistakes?
Everyone of us, no one can clear distinction of right and wrong everything. There are many things we do seemed right but actually wrong.
For example, when we see one of his friends was in trouble bored, we enticement his friends in the entertainment or alcohol for relief. I thought that was helping you, but it just turned out to hurt you, just hurt himself.
The wrong that the idea is true in our daily lives we have done a lot. The reason we do not distinguish between right and wrong is because our intelligence is poor. The sages have higher the wisdom to distinguish the right and wrong many, predict the future consequences of each action, word, thought. So want to avoid many mistakes, we have to raise our own intelligence.
To enhance the intellectual, firstly we must have faith in the law of causality . Without trust causality, we will sink forever in the dark. We only deal with the matter in sight and by the way superstition. For example, a number of people come to pray to win the lottery or an officer started trying to get rich by embezzlement. If you know and believe in the law of cause and ice the teachings of Buddha. He was a great teacher, has left us with precious lessons on how remodeling themselves, how to see the world and its people the right way. If only learn
without practice, we just like the parrot only say empty. The effectiveness of learning only if there is persistent practice. To access the Buddhist teachings, we should listen to the temple often to the Scripture, listen to the teachers Economics, sermon.
Finally, we must have faith in love, admire the Enlightened One. The sight of his status as a great motivation to help us more strength to overcome many obstacles on the path of learning and practice.
