Chapter IV What is Destiny? Paragraph 7 Unfortunately, more often than not, once certain behaviors become habits, the mind will unconsciously enter into an inertial course and be controlled by it. It is not easy to initiate change even if we want to. This is where we need Buddhist practice, and where the difficulty of the practice also lies. Habits are deep-rooted because they have been accumulated over a long period of time. Just like the gravity that holds us on earth, the power of habits is so strong that it is difficult for us to transcend and break free from this unenlightened state. ----------- FIVE QUESTIONS IN HUMAN LIFE

Chapter IV What is Destiny? Paragraph 6 Our mind has two characteristics: the ability to make choices, and the ability to create. It is mainly because of these capabilities that human beings are regarded as the wisest of all beings on the earth. A desk is not capable of making choices, and nor is a house. Animals are born with a relatively weak ability to make choices. We human beings, however, have capacities for reasoning and abstract thinking. We can not only choose and judge, but also create based on our choices and judgments. It is exactly by virtue of these two characteristics of the mind that human beings have built a civilization of around five thousand years old. In the course of changing the world, the destiny of human beings has transformed as well. From this perspective, the heart is the master of our destiny. ----------- FIVE QUESTIONS IN HUMAN LIFE

Chapter IV What is Destiny? Paragraph 5 Our habits and character determine how our destiny will unfold. Therefore, our destiny is not bestowed from heaven, nor is it attributable to chance. Rather, it is a path paved by ourselves, or more specifically, by our behavior. In Buddhism, the factors that determine our destiny are called karma. Karma can be viewed as our life’s program. Committing behaviors that cause a rebirth as a hell being is like making a program for entering into the realm of Naraka (Hells); conducting wholesome behaviors that cause a rebirth as human or heavenly being is like making a program for entering into the realm of Manusya (Human Existence) or Deva (Heavenly Existence). Depending on the programs we set up, we will enter different realms or life paths. Therefore, changing our destiny requires us to start changing our mind and behaviors. If we are able to do so, we are then able to change our destiny. On the contrary, if we cannot change our current character and habits, changing destiny would be empty talk. ----------- FIVE QUESTIONS IN HUMAN LIFE
