The Eleventh Direction

This book is entitled “The Eleventh Direction”. People tend to be curious and inquisitive about external factors. In Thai people's belief, to be anxious to know about everything is likened to wanting to know in every directions, hence Thai people call it “ten directions”. People are concerned about and interested in everything, in every direction except their own minds. They totally ignored and failed to understand their own minds. Hence, I think the mind can be counted as “The  Eleventh Direction”. The goal of writing this book is to help reduced suffering or perhaps guide the mind to encounter minimum suffering.

The mind is the master. The body is the servant. While carrying on our lives in this world, we should understand and not overlook this fact. By accepting and understanding the mind, we can steer ourselves away from troubles and sufferings. At the same time, we can even help others.

I have the intention of repaying the kindness this world has offered me. I am part of this world, I can survive because of help and assistance from fellow human of the world. My objective is to offer fellow men the chance to gain benefit from the teaching of Dharma of Lord Buddha. The teaching that aims to help all living things escape from pain and sufferings. The teaching of Lord Buddha will bless those who believe and behave accordingly, and save them from evilness and sufferings.
