![]() Like you, I also suffer from a chronical disease (mainly related to stress but not only) which makes me suffer a bit everyday. I suffer from a lot of stress because I have the wrong view. It is not easy, but it does have results. I started practicing buddhism only two or three weeks ago, I'm reading a lot and trying to practice the dhamma in everyday life. This path will make you a better person and make you happy. You might also want to have a look at the Noble Eigthfold Path which is the way to nibbana. Keeping the wrong view (seing things as permanent and thinking self exists). Ill-will (wanting to harm other people). Bad sexual behaviour (forcing someone to have ex with you etc.) Straighten your view (understand that we are responsible for our actions, that nothing is permanent and that the self is an illusion). Share your merits with other people, rejoice over the merits of other people (it means, be happy for them when they do something good) Help people around you (it can be like, helping an old person to cross the street) Observing the 5 precepts (no killing living being, no stealing,taking something that was not given,no lying, no bad sexual behaviour, no drinking/taking drugs (it alters your mindnes and can lead you to do bad things). You have to concentrate on your action from now on and generate good kamma, that is, good actions, to balance the bad kamma that led you where you are now. I'm new to Buddhism too, but here is what I can say from what I have learnt so far.ĭo not worry about your past kamma (actions). The wheel seems to be a very good guide for how to move through life, if is understood. There are so many suble things happening I want to know what they mean. What is the right way to navigate through each of the realms?Īlso, where can I find a very detailed explanation of the wheel. My question is, how do hungry ghosts burn their karma in a positive way so as to not send themselves to hell in life?Īlso, if one does send themselves to hell, what is the way through that realm? I feel like recently I became so accutely upset that I sent myself to the hell realm, and felt like I was destined to suffer eternally. And then it looks like some are worshipping a flase Budhha I'm guessing? And the ghosts at the top of the realm are praying to Buddha and receiving nourishment of truth. It looks like some of the ghosts are hanging around lost in the dessert, some become so painful that they destroy themselves and send themselves to hell. I'm looking at the ghost realm and seeing myself in it. f_life.jpgĪnd it seems that in every realm, there are different levels within each realm, and each realm can either lead to the buddha, or lead to a lower realm. Anyway, I was looking at this depiction of the wheel of life. I have chronic pain and health problems that stop me feeling satisfaction. The obviously dominant theme in my life is that I am a hungry ghost. I was recently struck when I learned about the wheel of life because I see myself in it.
