23. So what did the Buddha say?

24. Question from Subha
In early Buddhist scriptures, Subha, the son of an eminent Brahmin asks
the Buddha why some people are rich while others are poor, why some
are long-lived while some are short-lived and so on.
The Buddha responded:
Human beings are owners of their actions, heirs of
their actions, they originate from their actions, are
bound to their actions, have their actions as their
refuge. It is action that distinguishes beings as
inferior and superior.

25. Buddha was a great scientist
He spent 45 years teaching the Dhamma.
And along the way he has told us
“the mechanics of how a human being are
put together”

26. PARTSPARTS of a chariotof a chariot
Said the BuddhaSaid the Buddha
In the Samyutta Nikaya, the Buddha
was recorded as saying that just as
the word ”chariot” existed on the
basis of the various parts put together
to form a chariot.
Similary, the concept of ”human
being” exists when the five
aggregates are bundle into one to
form a man

is processed and respond according to your thoughts

31. The senses that we experiences goes to our mind
where it is send to match with those in our memory
bank.
Here, it recalls all the past memories and
once the senses matches the past memories, we
feet it's real and we recognise.
This feeling of "real" make us function
as human being in the conventional world.
But in reality the "real" feeling is only a perception.

33. Sankhara are natural phenomena. They are our "thoughts" developed in our
mind. These thoughts appeared and disappeared in our mind as long as we
are a human being. This appearing and disappearing of thoughts happens at
the speed of nano seconds. It is set in motion from the time we are born till
the day we die.
This flow of thoughts is automatic and runs like a non-stop movie in our mind.
We can’t prevent it from appearing or disappearing in our mind but we can
halt-it temporarily when we need to concentrate on our work.
When we are thinking we are engaging our mind to focus on what we want it
to concentrate. Here is where kamma is created. If you have good thoughts,
you create good kamma and if have evil thoughts, bad kamma will follow.
