💎"Everyone is a prisoner under the law of Karma."💎

⭕️ "Life in Samsara, there is only merit and sin that turn our life into various outcomes. There is a law of karma that is stronger than any other firm law in the world that governs all beings and things.
⭕️ One cannot avoid the law of karma, whether they believe it or not, or whether they know about it or not.
⭕️ Everyone is a prisoner under the law of Karma.
If you do not know or do not study the law of karma, life in samsara is very dangerous.
⭕️ Life will be spun by Mara just as the crickets that humans like to play with spin their heads.
⭕️ They will be like pounding by Mara in a mortar and suffer all of the time, and be forced into doing bad things through their thoughts, words, and actions. Then Mara will create 'The Misery From Bad Deeds' and human beings will suffer the consequences of the bad karma that they have done and suffer in hell for a long time.
⭕️ After all of the consequences of their sins in hell are over, they will be reborn as a human again, and Mara will make them forget about their past. Thus making them unable to see the future and not know the story behind their own present.
⭕️ Humans, therefore, will live day to day under the control of Mara again, forcing them over and over again to be controlled to make the same mistakes repeatedly. They subsequently will be reborn in hell again and then reborn as a human again. Revolving around in samsara endlessly.
⭕️ But if one becomes 'All-Knowing and All-Seeing',
although one may still fall under the law of karma, one will be an 'All-Knowing & All-Seeing Prisoner'. This means that even though one is under the law of karma, one can still save one's life. Or at least one will suffer much less than others. One will be happier than others and will travel only in The Two Worlds, that is, in 'The Human World' and in 'The Heavenly World'. When one’s Heavenly World ends, one will be reborn in the Human World. When one’s human world ends, one will be reborn in the heavenly world.
⭕️ Merit and sin draw the line behind humanity which we cannot escape because we have created the causes to be a human since birth, and therefore causing the human life goals to be diverted and causing us to be ignorant of the merit and the sin, causing us to create sin and not to make merit. Which will lead us to run out of time being busy, but only in business, work, and family matters.
⭕️ This means that Mara will influence people to pay attention to solving life's problems only, and they will run out of time.
⭕️ When life's problems begin to ease, Mara will attract the human's mind to have fun and enjoyment. Then the final part of life will be judged by merit and sin, and repeated over and over again like this."

✨✨While the world is plagued by war, epidemics, trade wars, and poverty, there is a group of people who are dedicating their wealth to creating a society focused on peace, unity, and sharing.

✨✨If you value the importance of creating a peaceful society, we invite you to join us in meditation and creative activities to create a virtuous and peaceful atmosphere in our society. We may not play a significant role in our own country, but we have the opportunity to create a positive path for all to participate. If we all just live our lives in isolation and enjoy ourselves, it will be difficult to create a virtuous and peaceful world.✨✨✨

✨Participants were impressed by the warm welcome from the volunteer team of Wat Phra Dhammakaya Benelux and enjoyed the peace of mind from meditation. They also learned the principles of Buddhism to design their own lives to be more complete.

✨ What is the European Ordination Program?
The European Ordination Program (EOP) has been established by the vision of Luang Por Dhammajayo, the Abbot of Wat Phra Dhammakaya, to introduce Buddhism to the people in The European Union (EU), and others around the world. The program was organized for the first time in 2013 at Wat Phra Dhammakaya Benelux, Belgium. Many participants in The EU from different countries such as England, Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Italy, Malta, Austria, and Switzerland joined the program. When it concluded, all were very satisfied with the program, and some even had the intention to join the same kind of program again the following year.

✨ The European committee, consisting of 29 branches of Wat Phra Dhammakaya in The EU then decided to organise the program every year. Subsequently, more and more participants in The EU have joined the EOP.

The EOP provides the opportunity for all the qualified persons in The EU who have interest in studying the Dhamma of the Buddha, to use the knowledge they learn and practice from the program to benefit their lives with more happiness and prosperity.

✨ ✨ In the program, all participants have the opportunity to learn about the Theravada Buddhist monk's life, to train themselves with the Buddhist disciplines and Buddhist cultures, to practice meditation, to study a variety of Buddhist Dhamma topics, and to understand more about the Theravada Buddhist monk's life. The course of study in the program has been continuously well-developed from the beginning up until the present, by becoming more efficient in training those who are not raised as Buddhists, enabling them to learn and apply the teachings in this short period of time after the program is concluded.

✨ We therefore would like to invite all qualified persons for The Theravada-Monk Ordination to join the EOP again this year. Latest news, announcements, and more information about The EOP is available at all EU branches of Wat Phra Dhammakaya, and can also be found on our facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/EOPBenelux.

✨ Whatever obstacles arise, we can overcome them ✨

Whenever we face obstacles and difficulties. Try to learn how to keep our minds clear, calm, and steady.

Do not worry too much, for worry never solve the problems. Instead, it only makes us getting worse. It merely darkens and burdens the mind.

When the situation does not yet allow us to move forward, we can choose to simply remain still and calm. This is the way to protect our inner foundation—to preserve the peace of the mind.

This stillness, this “being calm,” is the key to connect us to the stream of merit that we have accumulated throughout countless past lives. This current of merit is not far away—it resides within, at the very center of us. When the mind rests quietly, merit finds its channel to work, and good things can naturally flow into our lives.

On the other hand, if we remain troubled and restless, merit cannot function well. Instead, unwholesome states find their way in—through our thoughts, words, and actions—darkening the mind more and more.

Therefore, we should learn and apply this science of guarding the mind, so that no matter what obstacles come, we can always keep the minds pure, clear, and steady.

"Bhikkhus, the Buddha Vipassī once taught the Patimokkha to the Sangha assembled in the city of Bandhumati. This is what he said:

Patience is the ultimate perseverance for burning away mental defilements
All Buddhas have declared that Nirvana is the highest Dhamma.
One who harms others is not called a recluse.
One who torments others is not called a monk.
To abstain from all evil,
To cultivate good,
To purify one's mind:
This is the teaching of all Buddhas.

Not to revile others,
Not to injure others,
Restraint in the Patimokkha,
Moderation in food,
Living in a secluded place,
Cultivating the tranquil mind to diligence:
This is the teaching of all Buddhas." the Buddha
