Vesak Day
I woke up this morning in pain as Im plagued with tonsilitis... Intrestingly tonsilitis was something i had problems with in singapore, then I had no infection during my time in Vietnam, and now that im in Thailand..its back again...and the conclusion is... STRESS.... Im under a mountainload of stress... Oh and Ive quit my job...

So anyways as I was marking books this morning (see...see....so much work and the parents expect this of teachers....what the hell...im only doing this to keep you off my tail...with so much marking i can't supplment your child's education with more interactive activities...and thats your own fault) sigh...anyways

as i was marking my books, someone appreared on the msn and next to the person's nick was this 'Vesak day, the day the lord buddah attained enlightenment over the law of all things'

I was a buddhist and this caused to me to wonder... It is wonderful that the lord buddah had attained enlightment over the law of all things.. in other words he understood the law over life and death and the things to come.... and interestingly...there is a law to everything.....

My question is....who wrote the law...who decided what right or wrong...who decided where everything began and where everything would end... Dont get me wrong im not buddhist bashing...but i think its an important question to address....

This is an important revelation to me that the lord buddah understood that there was a law to everything... however its more important to know who wrote the law...

So with that, the lord buddah recgonises that he's not soverign over all... that he is under the law of everything and his objectve was to free himself from the law... In order for you to free oneself from the jursidiction of the law, one has to be outside the jurisdiction of the law.

If one is born under the law, one can only be free from the law if the law allows one to be free from the law... and once and if one is free from the law, one would need to be in the jurisdiction of a power outside the law...

and if the law is all encompassing then the only thing outside the law is the person the law allowed to be free from the law....and if a person is free from the law and everything else is under the law, wouldn't that mean that the person would have to create a new jurisdiction outside the law...

and what creation powers does a man have?

Furthermore if the law is all encompassing, then anything outside the law is nothing...and what is the purpose of that? To be free from suffering and pain? Or to be free from emotions of happiness and love? Nothingness is nothing however we were put under the law for something, why are we running away from our purpose and desiring to disappear into nothing?

Anyways, Vesak day is the day the lord buddah attained enlightnement of the law of all things...which only means that he understands the law...but one can only be free from the law if the law allows it... and who has to power to do this? No one except the one who conceived and enforces the law... and who would that be? The lord buddah only understood the law, he did not create the law...so how now brown cow? ;)
