苦，集，灭，道。- 4 Noble Truth

苦，集，灭，道。

苦 - Life is sufferngs.
集 - Sufferings is a result of Attachment (Attachment to anything and to everything - is the ROOT CAUSE of sufferings).
灭- To alleviate sufferings - "let go" of attachment.
道- Only then, Universal Truth of the Universal Law will emerged - Enlightenment."Let go of attachment" & "Internalise" it is the key for happiness, is the key to alleviate all sufferings.

In psychological terms, for every stimuli, there will be a response :-

(1) Every speech - will elicit a response (depending on whether pleasant, unpleasant).

(2) Every action - will also elicit a response (depending on whether is friendly or hostile).

(3) Even every thought - will also elicit a response (this is what little people know about). A kind thought will elicit a pleasant response. An unkind thought will elicit an unpleasant response.

(4) Collective thoughts, speeches and actions stimuli - will elicit a collective reponses. Eg. if the leaders, countries and people are friendly, kind - the responses are, the collective karma of this country will have alot of friends with countries all over the world.

However, if collectively a country is unfriendly, it can result in collective negative karma of catastrophic proportion like war, natural disaster or even epidemic.

So human in the world, or rather all 6 sentinent beings in the Universe - are govern by Law of Karma and Law of Impermanency - our fortune are never permanent are forever changing depending on our :-
(1) Individual karma
(2) Collective karma

Karma & Impermanency is the Universal Law that govern the 12 Dependant Life of Origination (specifically, life of Adam & Eve that bring about evolution of life in this Universe).

Karma & Impermanency will not apply to the State of Nirvana of 3-Ring Fruition - as no thoughts, no speeches, no actions arises --- a State of Eternal Peace, Eternal Bliss, Eternal Equanimity.

 

That is, the way how we live - is dependant on how we conduct our lives - our thoughts, our speeches and our actions - arises from our MIND.

The foundation of our Mind - on how we interact with ourselves, the people around us and the World we live in - is anchor on our "HEART".

(1) Kind Heart & an Intelligent Mind - will make our lives, the people around us pleasant to live in.

(2) Selfish Heart & an Intelligent Mind - will make our lives unpleasant and the people around us unhappy.

(3) Bodhi Heart & a Wise Mind - will benefit ourselves, benefit people around us and the World we live in. It will even invoke Supramundane divinity of 10 directions of 10 realms.
