THIS MORNING i saw 2 big metal burners downstairs again... they were placed almost at the centre of the road between some blocks. Are they going to burn again? Why why why.... i wish there are panels (like advetisements) telling them, reminding them to think before they burn!!
Why don't they think how the incense papers are produced or made? Aren't they made up by the normal way papers or flyers are made? ... just like all other paper products, paperbags, flyers, books, newspapers etc.... they all come from recycled papers, just printing different designs and imprinting of different buddhist scriptures or pictures or images on it. They are not as if they were being imprinted by the monks or printed by prayers or chants, THEY ARE NOT!!! So, realistically saying, they are just merely burning papers!!! What's the difference between burning those flyers or books and these papers??
Why don't they think how the smoke and ashes causes hazards to many many others around??
Why don't they think how the smoke and air cause hurts/damages the earth? Don't they realise that other people in the other parts of the world are already creating enough hazards burning forests??? The smoke that everyone have to suffer by breathing in, suffocating for some, creating hazy unhealthy air thereafter, aren't they bothered???? None of them are reflecting??? Why why why!???
Yes, in buddhism, there uses to be teachings telling pilgrimages to burn incense sticks, papers etc... for some reasons for some beliefs etc.... but but but things change! Generation changes, lifestyle changes, society changes, our earth temperature global temperature changed!! Din they continue to realise what the latter day of practice will be??? They can't be burning forever definitely!!! That's only killing the earth by the doble speed or even triple!! Why din they read this part about buddhism - to do only if it does not harm the environment, does not harm others and themselves!???? Buddhism is but about daily life isn't it!?? Why did they choose to believe things blindly and not thinking of the consequences??? Why do they follow when they are asked to burn, and why not follow when they are asked by the "earth's requests" NOT to burn anymore??
Everytime i see them burn, i feel super sorry for the earth. i wish somebody can just talk them into stopping burning, and start thinking what does it do!!! If they think that burning is a way to send things to their deceased loved ones, if they think burning papers is a way to atone their sins, DOES it make any sense???? How can the ashes make sense to atone your sins!?? How can the ashes show sincerity!??? How can the smoke be a benefit to the deceased or the ashes or how can ashes be transformed to something their deceased can receive!!!???
How how how!?? Why don't they all think think think!!!
How many years do we have to suffer all these acts that makes no more sense in this latter day of the law!??
I wish the monks at the temples tell them!!! Aren't they feeling something for the earth?? Aren't they practicing for the goodness of human beings? Then if so, why are they killing the earth which is not achieving the goodness of human beings, not helping at all right???
Wake up people wake up!!!
That reminds me of my MIL she is also the "burner" that cause the hazard to earth... haiiiz.... i wish her children can talk her to think of her beliefs again. I wish she can feel what she is burning for!! If only all makes sense to her, and people like her can think wisely before they continue to burn blindly.....
