HELL IS THE REAL HOME OF A FOOL

The foolish and ignorantindulge in heedlessness,

but the wise one keeps his heedfulness...

as his best treasure.

(Buddha Dhammapada Verse: 26)

Good habit is a wholesome Kamma and bad habit is unwholesome Kamma. Please ask your self . Which habit is strong in yours ? The tiger which always catches and eats small and weak animals,must be doing unwholesome Kammas continually, will always reap the bad results, and has very little chance to be reborn in the happy existence. That is why in the Balapandita Sutta ( Wise and Fool Sutta) the Buddha says that there is no practicing of the Dhamma in the woeful states, no practicing of what is righteous, no doing of what is wholesome, no performance of merit. There, mutual devouring and the slaughter of the weak prevail.The commentary to the Dhammapada says that hell is the real home of a fool. After suffering in the great hell for a long time, a fool will be reborn in a minor hell. After suffering for a long time there, he will be reborn in another minor hell. After suffering thus for a long time in various hells, he will be reborn in the Peta world. Again he has to suffer for a long time there, and then he may be reborn as an animal. In the animal world, mutual devouring and the slaughter of the weak prevail, and he performs a lot of unwholesome Kammas. After death he is again reborn in hell. After going in such a cycle for many times, he may be reborn as a human being. But due to his bad habit, again he performs a lot of unwholesome Kammas, and after death he is reborn in hell. Thus we call a fool as a permanent inhabitant of hell.Only after a long time in hell they take a short vacation in the human world. And after the short vacation, he will go back to hell. That is why The Buddha says that it is difficult to be born as a human being. However many people do not really appreciate being born as a human being. They live heedlessly, enjoying various sensual pleasures as they like. They cohabit with their lovers, seduce others' wife or husband, abort their own foetus for a higher standard of living, order many chicken and pigs to be killed for their wedding and various kinds of parties, earn money unlawfully, and do many other unwholesome deeds. Nowadays, human society had been defeated by such kind of bad habits as tradition. They regret that they did not make a proper use of human life only when they are reborn in the woeful states, but then it is too late.Which habit do u have?

Do you want to go back home?
