Question 8: MANY PEOPLE SEEM NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THEY'RE GIVEN ANOTHER HUMAN LIFE TO CULTIVATE THEMSELVES. WHY DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR SELF-CULTIVATION?Answer: This question touches upon the core of truth: humans are God's creations and independent of God.If humans were solely products of God, human will would be meaningless as God would arrange everything. If humans were completely independent of God, they would forever remaindistant from God, unable to transform towardsGod’s absolute nature.Truth is not one-sided; it is complex, requiring a tranquil and clear mind to grasp fully. The concept that "humans are both products of God and independent of God" is profound, encouraging people to put effort into self-cultivation rather than relying on God for everything.Why do we pray and seek divine help? We are independent of the Divine. If we were solely products of a Divine Being, He would be responsible for all our happiness or suffering. But we bear responsibility for our lives, demonstrating our independence from the Divine.Because we are independent of God, we must cultivate ourselves diligently to align our minds with God’s. Those who refuse to grow morally and spiritually essentially fail their test,and after death, they may end up in a place of great suffering.#Religions, #Buddhism, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna, #JannaOrderMonastery,
