Khravasadhamma
Khravasadhamma is the dharma or law for householders to follow or act according to. Householders who are householders always have wives and children who are members of their own families. Those members always have different personalities, even though they are of the same blood. Some have a fun-loving nature and talk a lot, some like to joke and joke, some like to lie to others and use all kinds of tricks, some are honest, some like to be quiet, not wanting anything excessive that is contrary to the character of their parents. Therefore, the Buddha taught Khravasadhamma in the family for implementation in the family. When it comes to the economy of Buddhism, it is in the following order:
Lessons of Khravasadhamma, 3 benefits
1- Dhamma-based benefits, economy for the present life.
2- Sambarai-based benefits, economy for the new life.
3- Param-based benefits, economy for the life of Nirvana.
The reader should know that the three types of economy, in terms of the order in which they should be done, where to practice before, after, and after this element, have the numbers as written.
Meanwhile, Buddhism has raised the moral precepts related to the economic precepts for the present life, namely:
The lower economic precepts have been to teach people to strive to establish themselves, expand their position to be strong, firm in the economic status, which is to meet the needs of people. The theories of Buddhism that are seen in relation to the economy of each individual, family, or society in general are as follows:
The view of the benefits of the present The Buddha spoke to the Buddha when he went to the temple and said to him, "I am a householder, a manager of a house, a house, a wife, and I need to find wealth to support my family. Please show me some dharma for the householder in the present and the dharma that should be practiced in the next world. At that time, the Buddha spoke about the benefits of both the present and the next world.
The view of present benefits (dhammakaya) is to prepare oneself to have a strong position to live comfortably in this world, to teach one to establish oneself in a strong economic way with four elements:
1. The pursuit of wealth, both material and immaterial. Countries in the world have done and are doing mass production to increase the products to meet the needs of both domestic and foreign countries. Production can take place and provide sufficient products, only when there is courage and hard work can there be food and drink to meet the needs of the body. For the ancients told us, “Do not wait for tomorrow, do what you have to do.” The Buddha taught us: Do not rely on six reasons:
1. It is too early
2. It is too late
3. It is too thirsty
4. It is too hungry
5. It is too hot
6. It is too cold
The Buddha further reminded us that
“Viryana dukkha matcheya” “If you want to be free from suffering, you must strive” for all kinds of work.
The proverb of the scientific era says, “Strive for nature,..heat, cold, pain” and do not be afraid.
2. Savings, knowing how to save wealth or being thrifty, can lead to saving money to avoid various kinds of waste and will know how to process and reap the benefits of the wealth that you have. In every country in the world, there are places for people to deposit their wealth, which are called banks, so that people can save their wealth. Depositing wealth with banks is to make wealth safe and to cultivate the benefits of old wealth (interest).
3. Good friends, knowing how to associate with good friends or know how to make bad friends good: this is very important. Associating with bad people is a cause of all kinds of destruction. If you associate with good people, you can help find happiness in both wealth and fortune according to their skills. In a company or cooperative, the selection of members must only take good and right members, otherwise they will not achieve results, the cooperative or company will inevitably collapse.
4. Moderation, knowing how to spend money appropriately according to the level of wealth or learning to live in a state of peace or moderation, always meaning that spending money does not exceed the amount earned. If you earn less, spend less, you should refrain from unnecessary spending and save some for future poverty, that is, spending not more than your income.
A family and a nation that will grow and develop only if you spend your wealth, both on the part of the family and the part of the nation, must be strict in what not to spend and try to use what you produce yourself. Using only foreign goods that are not necessary will lead to a loss of national currency.
These four aspects of Dhamma and Benefits are the basic principles for solving life's problems and a big step towards progress. However, progress that can be rapid only if an economist or businessman must have three more characteristics.
Three qualities of a businessman
The Buddha showed three qualities of a businessman to become wealthy, rich, and loved by many people to avoid some views that the Buddha taught people only about karma, results, merit, and demerits, and that most of his followers were poor. In some cases, the Buddha expressed the virtues in doing business, such as selling, clearly stating that if the seller has three qualities, they will definitely get high profits. In order for his business to run smoothly, the common people should follow the direction of the three virtues, namely:
1. Wise, intelligent, with good eyes or bright eyes, especially those who know the rules of economics and business Commerce, that is, knowing how to sell, buy, and how to make a lot of money. In particular, knowing and being skilled in business, how to make a profit, how to make a loss, knowing the times, such as knowing the seasons of each occupation. Knowing the place of sale, that is, this place sells high, that place sells low, and knowing the needs of people in each place, what they need to buy, what they need to buy, and so on.
2. Virayampa is a person who is diligent, diligent in the work he is doing, not delaying beyond the time of the business and the needs of the buyer. Being a person with technical ideas, being smart, such as buying things in a cheap place and selling them in a place with a high price.
3. Sanatho is a person who has many resources, a person who is loved by many people, has many friends, how to make people from all walks of life lose their minds, have faith, and trust even dare to fight to the death together. If you have these three qualities, you will always bring wealth to those who follow you at all times.
If you have such qualities, you should strive to avoid shame, which is also a cause of destruction of wealth.
4 things to avoid shame (cause of destruction of wealth)
1. Abstain from sexual intercourse
2. Abstain from drinking alcohol
3. Abstain from gambling
4. Abstain from associating with bad people without educating or training them well.
These four things were revealed by the Buddha to teach people to be careful and not allow themselves to fall into harm. Each person, even in the whole country, no matter how much wealth and fame they have, if they are only interested in women, alcohol, gambling, and factions, they are very corrupt and will see the results of destruction. Because these four things cause the destruction of a lot of wealth and time. For example, if a man is infatuated with a woman, he will always go to her and take her wealth to satisfy her. Over time, he will become a diplomat and give up his job. If a government official sometimes works and sometimes does not. In the end, there is no advancement in position, sometimes there may be a conflict with others because of that woman. In the end, wealth, fame, and reputation will be destroyed and he will become a person without hope in life.
If we can implement the above principles, we will definitely have four kinds of happiness as follows:
The four kinds of happiness of the householder
1. Happiness comes from having wealth
2. Happiness comes from spending wealth
3. Happiness comes from being debt-free
4. Happiness comes from working without guilt or engaging in a crime-free business
These four characteristics demonstrate the importance of the economic element, namely having wealth through one's own efforts, spending one's own wealth, not being in debt, doing business properly according to economic rules, not violating state laws, not oppressing the power of others. Wealthy people are always calm, use their wealth to support their families, and are always happy without having to borrow money from others. And the teacher will definitely be wealthy. On the contrary, the family will be wealthy, but it will not last long because of four reasons.
A wealthy family will not last long because of four reasons:
1- Lost things are not found.
2- Old things are worn out, and they cannot be repaired.
3- They do not know how to use their wealth.
4- They have a man or woman who is not morally upright in the family.
All four of the above are the causes of ruin. No matter how wealthy a family is, if the people in that family lack economic wisdom or lack morality, do not care about lost things, damaged things that can be repaired and used again, do not bother to let them go, and use their wealth carelessly, especially if the head of the family has no manners, order (morality), and will only lead to ruin.
Not only furniture, but also non-furnished property such as houses, land, etc. are also subject to destruction.
In the dharma of the dharma, which is the dharma for making the family lineage and lineage last for a long time, the Buddha showed four principles for practice, namely:
1- The loss of all things, knowing how to find them.
2. The old and dilapidated things, knowing how to repair them.
3. The moderation of food, knowing how to eat and use them.
4. The establishment of morality, appointing people with morality as the head of the household.
The house is like a society, and the country is like a country. When there are bad leaders, the house, society, and country will inevitably be destroyed.
The Buddha told the story of the fortunes and fortunes of a householder who had lived for a long time. It was a story for people to know how to manage their affairs, but it was an economy related to morality. It was concluded that people will become good and moral people only if they have food to provide for their physical needs. Human morality is very difficult to exist if each person's personal economy is not developed or is not conducted in a dignified manner. That is why the Buddha taught people to emphasize economics.
Please note that the economic concept of benefit in the present of the Buddha, the first of which is to strive to do business to create wealth, is related to the primary economic concept, which is Production.
Because economics was born after Buddhism, about a thousand years ago. The second concept is to know how to store the wealth that has been acquired, and it is related to the concept of saving wealth.
The third characteristic is to be friendly, honest, intelligent, and helpful to each other. This characteristic is comparable to organizations, communities, and cooperatives that need to select individuals with high ideals from among their members to lead as a governing body or committee.The director within the framework of developing the lives of members by taking into account the general interest. The last tip is to use and spend wealth to be appropriate to one's status or live only on that which in economic language is called the House hold budget, which translates to the family budget, for private individuals. If the state is called
The nation economic budget, which translates to the national budget. In short, it has come to the examination, because income and expenditure are balanced, which is in line with the Buddhist term of samjha, which is stated in the Dhamma, the benefit of the present.
The Buddha, our supreme teacher, has revealed five types of business that all Buddhists should refrain from and should not engage in, namely:
1- Sattvavanichja, trading in weapons for killing, namely making the weapons themselves or having others make them or obtaining them for some reason and selling the weapons.
2- Sattavanjja, human trafficking, means that people should not trade other people to be slaves of others or for sexual service or in any form. All people have the same right to live freely.
3- Mumsavanjja, meat trafficking, means raising animals, such as pigs, and when the animals grow up, they are killed for meat and sold.
4- Majjvanija, trafficking in alcoholic beverages or drugs, means mixing any substance to produce alcohol by oneself or buying it from someone and selling it.
5- Visvanija, trafficking in poisons or poisons, means arranging poisons to produce themselves or having them mixed or obtained for some reason and selling the poisons or poisons.
These five types of business should not be engaged in by laymen, laywomen, and Buddhist monks because they bring insecurity and peace. Engaging in these five types of business is called mixed business or mixed business, which is contrary to the right business.
The dharma that brings about these four benefits to a person will bring prosperity and success to that person in this present nation immediately.
These dharma are the source and a solid foundation for cultivating and sustaining global organizations, state organizations, and individual family organizations to develop and prosper. If any of these dharma is lacking, those organizations will inevitably be in trouble. In each state, there are many organizations such as economics, society, and politics. In the economic sector, such as industry and commerce, if all the leaders in the world lack dharma, the first is laziness, not making efforts in matters of duty, busy with each other, jealous of each other for personal gain, not trying to keep industry and commerce up to date, the economy cannot be immortal because there is still lying, corruption, theft, embezzlement, bribery, and confusion in the course of life. It is necessary to study and create classes to reach the level of moral education, to study according to the path of truth, in the third, fourth, and fifth stages, namely right speech, right action, and right conduct, for many years until the moral education is noble and pure, which is called noble character. If there is a lack of talent and a lack of talent, there is waste, there is no control over the place, there is always a lot of work, one person relies on another, still in the office, relying only on paper and lists, the results of industry and trade will be damaged, and the economy will decline.
If there are these two dharma, but the third dharma is good friends, there are dishonest people in the relationship with the seller, the buyer, there is fraud and deception for some reason, or there are corrupt colleagues who are in league with the buyer or seller, causing damage to the results of industry and trade, the economy will decline.
If there are enough dharma 1, 2, and 3, but the fourth dharma is samjhivat, there is more expenditure than income, through waste or by using too many employees due to inefficiency, which is an act that is done by only one person, we have 4 or 5 people, and it is not good anymore, or we buy too many items to get a percentage from the seller, while there is not enough money to buy other things, which leads to disruption of the process of industry and trade, the economy will decline.
When the economy declines because of one's own incompetence or because one is wicked and tries to raise the price of goods to counter it, it will cause even greater harm to society and consumers. This view of morality has a broad meaning for all the affairs of the world, as the small point above has already been brought to the fore.
(Work that is useful should be done, knowledge that is scarce should be practiced, unhappiness that is in oneself should be abandoned, and business that is profitable should be traded.)
Buddhist Economic Philosophy
Economics is a branch of knowledge that studies the physical growth (material growth) of humans. First of all, Buddhism is a theory oriented towards spiritual growth. Although economic stability plays an important role in daily life, Buddhism does not promote or encourage material growth because Buddhism teaches that everything is subject to change and is not permanent. For this reason, some people believe that Buddhism is a religion that does not contribute to economic progress and sows a pessimistic approach to the material development of the world.
The following are arguments in support of their view: 1- Buddhism is a religion that helps to make our lives in the next world happy and does not help to make our lives in this world prosperous.
2- Buddhism recognizes that this world is full of suffering and sorrow. Buddhism teaches a doctrine that helps to eliminate desires that lead to the achievement of worldly progress.
3- The doctrine of "karma" in Buddhism is a barrier to the achievement of desires in this life.
4- The doctrine that relates to the renunciation of worldly pleasures This and the teachings for living in a simple life are obstacles to economic progress.
Because of this and the teachings that have misunderstood, misunderstood or misunderstood some of the facts contained in Buddhism, it is also declared that there is no economic philosophy in Buddhist theory. But when we examine this point of view, we come to the personal opinion that in the Dhamma that Buddhism teaches, there are many words related to the clear philosophy embedded in Buddhism about the individual in the socio-economic sphere.
There is no statement anywhere that all the good principles taught in Buddhism are limited to or lead to a goal that ends only in achieving auspicious results in the next life. Liberation from the cycle of birth and death, which is the ultimate goal in Buddhism, can be achieved in this world directly if one tries hard to achieve it. The Pali phrase “Dhammachari sukhum seti, asmi loke parantek” means that a person who leads a righteous life always lives happily in this world as well as in the next. This also means that the happiness granted in the next world depends entirely on a righteous life and good results in this world. Furthermore, there is no teaching in Buddhist theory that suggests that one must suffer in this life in order to enjoy happiness and prosperity in the next. In the same way, the Buddha pointed out that all suffering in this world arises not due to the influence of any deity, but rather as a result of one’s own actions. Furthermore, Buddhism also clearly states that in order to overcome all suffering and stress in life, one must work hard and have a strong will.
When referring to karma, it is pointed out that this is not the only reason that affects one’s life on this earth. But karma is only one such influence. There is no point in thinking only about karma. Will and action should be given higher priority than karma. This is what the Buddha taught his disciples on various occasions.
The philosophy of suffering, as enshrined in Buddhist doctrine, karma, and the teachings on the next world, is not a barrier to economic development, either individually or collectively.
Now let us examine the practical economics that Buddhism teaches us through its philosophy for successful living. The Buddhist economic philosophy, unlike modern economic principles, does not give importance only to material progress, but also focuses on the inner intellect of the individual.
Economics is the science that determines how the economic needs of the human body are met in order to make people happy. The clear theory in this world is that “the world’s resources are finite, but the economy’s needs are infinite.” This theory is also stated in Buddhism. In the Rattapāla Sutta of the Madhyamaka sect, it is said that the people of this world are not perfect and that they are not happy. They are slaves to desires. Western economists, who have raised the problem of finite resources and unlimited needs, have also seized this opportunity to encourage consumers to consume more and more. Although this system is necessary for the capitalist economic system, those who have little need see that the powerful and privileged are destroying resources and creating more and more economic wealth. Buddhism supports the view that a simple life will help us to use finite resources properly and solve the economic problems created by our unlimited desires and wants.
When it comes to Buddhist economic philosophy, the views expressed in the Buddhist theory of resources become important. The criterion by which one can evaluate one's wealth is money. Money is used as a means to satisfy material desires and needs. Accordingly, Buddhist theory also accepts the view that in order to live a life of abundance, one should accumulate wealth in four stages. Buddhism speaks of the development of the individual. One such opportunity is the opportunity to enjoy happiness. The Buddha also stated that wealth thus accumulated should be accumulated by hard work, and wealth thus acquired should be protected and not wasted. This is stated in the Paja Sutta and the Singhalavada Sutta. In the philosophy of Buddhist theory, the manner in which wealth should be accumulated and how money should be spent is clearly explained in Buddhist texts. According to the Singhalavada Sutta, the money saved should be spent first on food, clothing, housing, medicine, etc., so as not to cause hardship. In the same sense, the prosperity of a person is what the Buddha described in his teachings. The fact that a person has spent his money For one's own needs and necessities... one should feel that one has spent money to attain happiness and that wealth is being used for a good cause. This should give one both mental and physical happiness. There the Buddha clarified that the money saved should be spent for one's own benefit as well as for the benefit of those under one's care and those living with one, so that they do not suffer from hunger. The manner in which the money saved should be spent is discussed in the Apulekha Sutta of the Samyutta Nikaya.
From this perspective, it does not mean that Buddhism discourages people from spending their hard-earned money on daily needs. Instead, Buddhism promotes the view that wealth should be consumed for one's own benefit as well as for the benefit of others. Thus, Buddhist philosophy encourages production. But what we must remember is that Buddhism does not approve of the accumulation of wealth without any limits. The way in which production should be encouraged not only through consumption but also through investment analysis. This view is clearly concluded by the reference to the fact that two-fourths of the money saved should be invested or kept for future use, deposited in a bank, etc. Although there are many ways in which money can be invested, the current line of thought tends to support the view put forward by Buddhist theory. But it is clear that the Buddhist approach to investment and the pursuit of wealth is different from the techniques laid down in modern economics. When it comes to accumulating wealth or investing in various business ventures, the idea of what is right or wrong in solving the problem is not yet clarified by Western economic philosophy. The goal is only to make a profit. On the contrary, according to Buddhist economic philosophy, earning money improperly, by means of deceit, and by means that are not considered to be the right way to earn money. There are many references to the pursuit of wealth:
For example: dhammen dhammalatha "earning money by right means" seta vakti tehi "earning money by sweat and labor" This view was approved and supported by the Buddha.
"Labor" is another aspect of production according to economics. Even in Buddhist economic theory, labor plays a very prominent role, and it has been shown that when high wages are paid to workers, production increases continuously. The Buddha always criticized those who only think about making profit by exploiting labor. In the Singhalavada Sutta, the Buddha clearly explained that labor should be paid properly, and incentives (tea money) - etc. - should be given to workers in a proper manner. The work assigned to the workers must be work that the workers can do or can perform.
When considered at the national level and not at the individual or individual or organizational level - the factors that contribute to economic progress seem to be already stated in Buddhist economic philosophy.
The Buddha rightly believes that the poverty of a country is caused by some imbalances that may exist in the distribution of wealth. If all the wealth in a country is held by only a limited part of society, urgent corrective measures must be taken. Because that situation can lead the country to poverty.
Similarly, the Buddha in the Chakravati Sihanad Sutta has spoken on this topic and stated that the duty of the government is to provide capital for entrepreneurs to invest money in the business of various enterprises. The government should also provide facilities to farmers, industrialists, etc. According to economic theory, taxes are an important source of revenue for the government. The government uses the revenue for welfare and development. Buddhism, while accepting this ideology as a principle, also presents a Buddhist perspective on the subject. The Buddha, when he gave a sermon to the Licchavi kings, stated that collecting taxes improperly was wrong and that taxes should be collected by the government from the people without burdening them with the burden of taxes in the same way that bees suck honey from flowers without damaging or harming the flowers. The Buddha also gave a sermon that it was the duty of the people to pay taxes on time and without concealing information about the payment of taxes. The word “rajapali” is used to denote taxes that are paid to the state.
So we see that Buddhism, because of its clear economic philosophy, can be considered not only as a theory about the afterlife, but also as a theory, a religion, about the ways and means for the further development of society and individuals. The Tripitaka is full of teachings that prove that Buddhism is not only about the afterlife, but also helps individuals and society to live a prosperous life in society because of the clear economic philosophy contained in the entire Buddhist theory.
By Bellanwila Wimalaratana in Buddhism Society and Environment ent
Translation: Chhan Iam
Yo ca vassatna jive kosito hina viryo ekaham jivetam seiya viriyam araphatna A person who is lazy and lazy. With weak efforts, even if he lives a hundred years, it is not as good as living even one day of a person who is strong and diligent.
(Dhamma)
Attanameva pumkam padrirupe nivesaye athana manusasaseya n kileshaiya bandhido. One should first establish himself in proper virtue, and then teach others, so that it will not be difficult.
(Dhamma)
Hinam dhamma sevayya pamatena n samva se miccha dithini n sevayya n siya loka vadano. One should not commit lowly deeds, should not live with insults, should not hold wrong views, should not live only to narrow the world.
(Dhamma) The view of the lower benefits is the four qualities that have been mentioned, and this is the duty to be practiced in order to have happiness in the present and in the future in old age. In this very nature, consider the lower benefits as the foundation to be a stepping stone for further reaching the higher benefits.
If only the lower benefits are not fulfilled well, what ability will there be to grasp the higher benefits! Therefore, do not have the thought of looking down on these lower benefits because they are the manifestations of the Buddha.
May everyone know the benefits according to the things that have been mentioned and act accordingly in order to achieve the happiness that they desire.

Khmer proverb
Taktchae Penh Phut, Explanatory essay
This proverb has the following meaning:
“Tak” is the sound of dripping water. “Phut” is a round, long, hollow object with a mouth and a bottom for placing other objects. For example, a palm water pipe, a pipe for pouring palm water. (Khmer dictionary)
“Takchae Penh Phut” means being frugal, doing something slowly, with perseverance, patience, and effort until you get the full result.
What does this proverb teach?
Khmer ancestors wanted to teach men and women to be patient and persistent in doing something slowly, starting from a small amount, without forcing or rushing to get results too quickly.
This proverb teaches sons and daughters to strive to learn, complete work, or make a living with patience, tolerance, thrift, and strive to overcome obstacles, not to give up easily. Do something by starting with little and working hard. Do this, and you will definitely succeed in the future.
How does this proverb relate to Khmer culture?
From the time of our ancestors to the present, Khmer people have many examples of people who have persevered, tried, and worked hard to overcome obstacles until they succeeded. In the Khmer literature, the story of Kolap Pailin, the male character named Chao Chet, who only has the status of a diamond miner, is a hardworking, patient, and thorough worker. Chao Chet works hard until his boss is satisfied, and his boss's bride is also satisfied with Chao Chet. Chao Chet's accumulation of good deeds, hard work, and perseverance make him achieve his dream. In the end, he gets Khun Naray as his wife. He becomes the daughter-in-law of the owner of the diamond in Pailin province. As the Khmer proverb says, “Strive to succeed” or “Be patient, don’t be lazy, otherwise you won’t get what you want.”
There are many people in the world who show examples of working hard from small to high, going through many failures, but never giving up until they achieve great success. For example, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Thomas Thompson, Jack Ma, etc., etc. They all started slowly, saving money from small amounts, and going through countless obstacles. They all overcame difficulties to achieve victory and fame to this day. We have all seen and are using the achievements that come from hard work.
Comment
All work, whether small, large, or small, is based on a clear goal: to struggle and strive little by little, without giving up on what they are doing, and finally succeed as desired. Seeing this, the Khmer ancestors raised a proverb as a piece of advice to future generations: "Taktae penh tup".
How does this proverb embody the ideals and content?
To make it easier to interpret the above proverb more clearly, it is first necessary to understand some key words, such as "tup" and "taktae!" etc. The word "tup" refers to a container for carrying water, which can be made of bamboo or resin, for carrying water, especially palm oil, while "taktae" means the sound of dripping water. Through the entire proverb, one can see the literal meaning as referring to the drops of palm oil gradually becoming a full tube of palm oil, like a gradual struggle, finally achieving the desired result.
Of course, those who succeed never give up, those who give up never succeed. All jobs always have obstacles. The important thing is to be patient, endure fatigue, and endure hardship, but this does not mean avoiding work, but must always do it until the last breath. In fact, there are twenty to thirty students in a class, but the number of successful students is very small, and most of them are mediocre, average, and weak, who find it difficult to compete with the strong partners around them. Excellent students are those who have worked hard from the beginning, accumulating all the knowledge they have learned from teachers, friends, relatives, and people around them. They have absorbed these things with the utmost care, without being distracted by the game of women and wine. People are never born successful immediately, and students are the same, all of them rely on this ability to work hard.
In addition, it has been observed that many rich or billionaires can Success is possible because they refuse to give up on the obstacles in front of them. They have broken through with their sharp determination. For example, Bill Gates, Jack Ma, and Steve Jobs were able to achieve their achievements by being creative and having experienced failure over and over again. In the end, their struggle yielded satisfactory results and made people around the world admire and emulate them.
Of course, if you look at Khmer literature, it is even clearer. For example, in Kolap Pailin, a work written by Nyok Thayem, it is reflected through the actions of the character Chao Chet, who is only a diamond miner, but Chao Chet never hates work. Even under the hot sun, Chao Chet dares to sacrifice his strength to work wholeheartedly and with the utmost care. Moreover, Chao Chit even secretly loved Khun Nay, the daughter of his father. Chao Chit's desire did not fade. Finally, Chao Chit achieved both work and success in love. These all came from patience and knowing how to work slowly from the first step to the last step, which made Mr. Luang Rattanasambat and Chao Chit very satisfied.
According to the above explanation, it is more clear that every task or plan, whatever it is, must be done according to the first step, slowly, not too hastily, so that the fruits can be enjoyed.
Through the above simple explanation, it can be concluded that this proverb really embodies many educational values, which cultivates everyone to be careful and patient. As a student, as well as all Cambodian citizens, we should learn to study hard and work with high determination, so that there will be no regrets in life.
An ancient Khmer proverb says: "Takchae Penh Phuet!". What is the educational meaning of this proverb? Khmer ancestors want to teach us: There are some things we need to be patient. For example: You learn to swim. You can't learn in a day. But if you try every day, you will be able to swim someday. Therefore, don't lose hope and be patient in everything you do in life. Be patient and try! Efforts to benefit the public both in the present and the future or to benefit each individual to be created. Pathanak means effort, trying to benefit the public both in the present and the future or to benefit each individual to be created, called pathanak.
The words that are verbs have many types, such as the word viriya, which means courage, strength, and the ability to strive to fulfill the benefits to the end. Parakgam, which means moving forward without shrinking, even if there are obstacles, no matter how they come to block you, you will not be excited, shaken, or shocked. Ussah, which means having patience, perseverance, and the courage to do everything. Udāna: It means to give up laziness and get up and start working without getting tired. Mātā: It means to burn or pull away the things that cause defilements from the mind. Chitta: It means to have a strong enthusiasm for all tasks. Atthitam: It means to do something that happens at the right time and does not wait, does not hesitate, does it immediately, does not let time pass. Appadhivaṇi: If there is something that has not been completed, does not retreat, does not give up on that task.
Writing: Effort, Success, Part 1
In this world, people always want to live a good life full of happiness. However, in the journey of life, everyone always has obstacles that prevent them from achieving success. Difficult problems arise in a hurry, making people almost give up. For those who have a strong spirit and determination, they do not give up halfway, but only strive to overcome small and large obstacles little by little, even if they are tired, they persevere and try their best until they achieve the expected success. Therefore, there is a saying that (Perseverance is the key to success).
(Speaker: One saying is (Perseverance is the key to success). Explain by giving examples from society and literature.)
What is the meaning of this proverb?
To help explain the above statement clearly, it is necessary to understand the meaning of the words "perseverance" and "achievement" first. Perseverance is the effort to strive hard. The word "achievement" refers to the result of a desire. The speaker's meaning is to show that a person's perseverance in the work they want will definitely meet success.
Of course, perseverance is a noble act that will definitely achieve your desires. This is because perseverance is a special strength and has the power to solve problems and break down obstacles. As we know, every task that people do cannot be achieved immediately as they wish. Sometimes it takes a long time, sometimes they fail or the results are not as they wish. Therefore, only by trying as much as possible, little by little, from little to more, searching for good ways, experimenting, practicing, and full of confidence, whether it is long or short, success will come without giving up hope. The benefits of all these efforts have been achieved as planned, making life strong, the future prosperous, and the country also prospers. In fact, some students who want to become professors, teachers, doctors, and engineers strive hard without fear of fatigue. Sometimes they encounter difficult lives, lack of funds to study, and have to compete in exams and fail, almost giving up hope. But because of their perseverance and faith, they finally achieve the goal of obtaining the skills they want and become civil servants. Their living standards are very comfortable. While some people start from scratch,In a small place, day by day, he worked hard to do his job with care. After many years, he developed himself higher and received a better position as a manager and CEO with a large salary. For farmers, farming encounters all kinds of obstacles and takes a long time to get results. Some years, suffering from crop damage by floods or pests, they have to struggle again until they get satisfactory results. Looking at the literature of the story of Kolap Pailin by the author Nhok Thayem, he showed the struggle of Chao Chet, an orphan, with a high level of effort. Chao Chet worked hard to study to the level of Prakas Niyaptra. When his father died, Chao Chet lived alone. After receiving advice from a good doctor, Chao Chet went to work at Mr. Luang Rattanasambat's house as a jade worker. This work requires physical strength to withstand the heat, rain, and snow. Chao Chit has no complaints and is honest and helpful. Luang Ratanasambat makes the two of them see the mental ability and perseverance of Chao Chit, who used to hate Chao Chit before, and now loves and enjoys sharing her life with Chao Chit until the end of time.
Writing: Effort Achieved, Part 2 (End)
The story of Tum Teav, a literary work by Bhikkhu Som, also has content related to effort. Tum studied as a monk since he was a child at Wat Vihear Thom, striving to learn the profound knowledge. In addition to studying numbers and letters, Tum learned to read and write until he mastered the skills and received the title of Ten Thousand Eks that the king desired. If it were not for Mother Teav to prevent him from destroying his happiness, Tum would certainly live in peace and prosperity. In the ancient literature of the Mahavesantha story, the Bodhisattva character Vesantha had a desire to become enlightened as a Buddha to save the world from suffering and reach Nirvana. He had to save his life by donating five kinds of alms: wealth, body, life, children, and wife. Among these great alms, it was not easy to fulfill them, and he had to face many conflicts. For example, when he donated an elephant and a dragon to the people of Kalinga, the people of Sri Pirastha angered him and expelled him from the kingdom. Vesantha followed the people without regretting his royal status and traveled to Mount Kirivangat, willing to endure all kinds of hardships without complaining until the people stopped being angry and invited him to come and live with the king. All these great alms yielded results, and he became the Buddha as he had desired. Speaking of the story of the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva was born with the sole purpose of practicing virtue and avoiding the sin of killing. After hearing that his father had punished the four thieves so severely, the Bodhisattva was afraid that when he grew up, he would be killed by the king like his father. He also made himself deaf and mute for fifteen years. Once a year, his father had an experiment done to see if the Bodhisattva would be able to rule again. However, the Bodhisattva remained motionless and did not move at all. His father also had the royal guard take the child and bury him outside the palace. After his father's power was over, he stopped being deaf and mute and went to build a new temple to fulfill his virtue. Finally, in the folk literature, the story of a husband and wife who threw water into the sea, the characters of a husband and wife threw water into the sea to get gold, diamonds, and glass beads according to their dreams. Both husband and wife tried to pour water little by little until the sea water was close to the crowd of fish, so they stopped the couple and gave them a lot of gold, diamonds, and glass beads to enjoy for the rest of their lives. In short, effort is sure to be successful. Whatever work there is, there are always obstacles that people strive for, but only if people strive to succeed, because what people achieve always starts from patience, using both physical strength, intelligence, and time until they get the desired results.
Through the explanation above, we can conclude that the main idea mentioned really has a profound meaning, not only does it imply a high education. Everyone wants success in life, and no success comes without effort. Therefore, if people want a better life, they must struggle to overcome all obstacles and never give up hope. Then life will surely encounter happiness.
Effort is sure to be successful
“There is a mouth to speak, hands to do, and feet to walk” This is true (Satyanam).
Although it is easy to create an account on the Internet, if it is lost due to a bad person, now I feel sorry for the loss of my dear and beloved friends with whom we used to communicate every day. However, I still have hope and look for those friends again. Whatever I used to do, I have to try harder, but I have to try to do it in a way that is consistent with the Buddha's theory that "effort is successful, but do not try in the wrong way."
Effort is successful as desired
Definition: Saving little by little can achieve your goals.
Commentary
All kinds of work are born from all efforts, because if you do not try, you will definitely not reach your goal. In addition, effort is the root of all decisions and all intentions. Even studying takes effort as a result to reach and grasp the right decision according to your wishes.
In this sense, he also thinks that making alms should be done gradually until you achieve the right path according to your wishes. For example:
• A small ants try to collect dust in their nest. A stone in one place, over time, forms a large mass.
• A sculptor tries to carve a stone slab little by little, and eventually it appears in various images to suit his purpose.
• A poor man tries to save money little by little, and over time he becomes a great businessman.
• A young man tries hard to study until he becomes a doctor.
