Question 9: THE CONCEPT THAT HUMANS ARE BOTH PRODUCTS OF GOD AND INDEPENDENT OF GOD IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND. COULD YOU EXPLAIN FURTHER?Answer: Let’s consider the relationship between parents and children – it’s pretty similar. Parents give birth to, raise, and teach their children, making it seem like children are entirely products of their parents. But in reality, that's not the case. As children grow up, they demonstrate their independence from their parents. Observing this, we can say that 'children are both biological products of their parents (and products of their upbringing) and independent of them.' This duality – being both this and that—reflects a fundamental characteristic of truth in this universe. We should become accustomed to thisto understand many other things, as one-sided understanding will prevent us from grasping the essence of truth.When children grow older and their independence becomes more apparent, some may exploit this independence to disregard their parents, behaving without moral consideration. However, independence does not mean abandoning one’s roots. Even as independent individuals, children should still honor their origins, respect, show gratitude, love, and care for their parents. These are the qualities of a moral person, making them worthy of being part of the civilized human community.#Religions, #Buddhism, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna, #JannaOrderMonastery,
