Shi Heng Yi

You need a family now.

Now you need a car, but actually the second car wouldn't be so bad.

So you get the point.

There is something about you're never enough wherever in which position you are located in your lifetime.

Apparently you are never enough.

There's always something more to add.

That is the one direction.

And what we nowadays know as the Buddhist teachings doesn't have this approach.

The Buddhist teaching says,

You come to this world as an empty cup.

Then your parents put their drop inside of you.

The teachers put their knowledge inside of you.

The advertising, the government, the schools, your friends, the parents of your friends.

So a lot of different influences, ideas, concepts.

What you are supposed to do in this life is starting to fill up your cup.

Now, really simply said, what Buddha is teaching now is to say, look, all of that stuff inside there, it's not coming from you.

So that means spend some time and

learn to empty the cup make that cup empty then you will realize who you really are what your essence is the way how you came to this earth and previous to the question when you ask when was life let's say easier as a child or as an adult like i said i think as a child because that cup as a child is not so full yet it's empty

Not completely empty, but more empty than now as an adult.

Now you have the burden to cover, the expectations to fulfill, the role you have to play.
