Why bad things happen to good people | Buddhism In English I Inner Guide Special Video

first of all i need to ask a question from you why do bad things happen always to good people now i know this is a question that most of us have asked from ourselves in our life so when the miserable things happen to our life when unexpected things happen to our life normally we ask from ourselves why always me why these things happen to only to myself what is the wrong with me so our great teacher supreme buddha taught a wonderful fact about the life supreme buddha taught us that means everything is not yourselves it is not your it is not under your control so life also not under your control remember that we are living a life this is not a fantasy this is not a movie this is not a dream this is a real life the nature of the real life is it is unpredictable we don't know what will happen in the next time can you guess what will happen in the next time in the next moment in the next second no no one knows that right and also our life is uncertain we don't know in the next moment we will lose our life right so there's a big mystery about the future right so when the miserable things happen to our life when unexpected things happen to our life remember the nature of our mind is to always regret about that right we have a great sensitivity we have a big sensitivity to the negative side of our life right there are so many problems that we face in our life when we are living this this life so when we face those problems when we are going through tough times when the misery and the unfortune hits our life we may start to regret about those past miserable memories right so what we have to do to get rid of this negativity is always we need to look for the bright side of our life there are so many things that we can be happy by thinking about our life but keeping apart keeping away all those good things we always focus on the negative side that is why most of the people in this outer world in this society they are regretting about the small things that happen in our life in their life but they have thousands and thousands of things that they can be happy by thinking about right so what we have to do to escape from this negativity is to always focus on the good things about your life as well as the good things about the others lives [Music] and that is how we practice to bring our thought process from negativity to positivity and remember life is unfair right we think that we are good people and we expect that good things will happen always to us but remember karma and life does not care about you it doesn't care how good you are or how bad you are and how successful you are what social status you are in it doesn't care it has its own ways karma hats has its own ways so there will be tough times and also there will be easy times and happy times life is like a book remember when we are reading a book we go through sad chapters we go through happy chapters we go through adventurous chapters [Music] but if someone met a sad chapter and if if he stopped reading that book if he stop reading that book and keep it away because it was a sad chapter you cannot enjoy the whole essence of the book life is also like that when we are living our life there will be happy chapters there will be sad chapters of our life and also there will be adventurous chapters but if we stop in the sad chapters of our life what will happen we will never make our life successful [Music] remember that that is why they say if you focus on the pain you will start to suffer but if you focus on the lesson you will start to grow so when the life teaches you hard lessons tough lessons right when you are going through the tough times problems maybe they are physical problems mental problems social problems relationship problems whatever problem it is you should not make that problem a destination right you have to go through them and that is why they say you will grow through what you go through so what you have to think is you need to think this life is unfair and that is why supreme buddha said everything that is under others control is a suffering we cannot expect everything will be happen according to our wishes because some things in lives are under others control and also supreme buddha said sadharanam vihanyanti that is a great saying of supreme buddha if you expect the fairness from this unfair life you will end up as an exhausted person you will end up as a tired emphatic person because life is unfair and the problem is that we are expecting the fairness from our life therefore do not expect always the fairness in your life bad things may always happen to good people and also good things also are happening to the good people so when the bad things happen to you what you have to do is bring your focus from negativity to the positivity bring your focus from the dark side of your life to the bright side see there are so many things that you can be happy by thinking about yourself i don't know what they are but there are many things everyone has bright side of their life what we need to do to be happy with ourself to make our life a successful one is to focus on that positivity more you focus on the positivity the more you will become happier and the more you will be able to make your life and remake your problems and falls in your life and live a happy life forever so bring your focus from the negativity to the positivity and do not expect the fairness from this unfair life [Music]
