Abstract

The life with digital media is faster than we think. By just one click, we can get information from around the world, making people today think, act, and decide faster. This behavior has become a habit. Their role models are all successful at an early age making young people of a new generation do what they can obtain faster results, have low patience, and not knowing how to wait. Everything is unstable. The lives of people are hanging on uncertainty. How can we know that tomorrow we will have an opportunity to do things we want to do? How can we know that we will have a future opportunity to do things we want to do?

                Our society today is chaotic because of not practicing the principles or doctrines to be adapted and applied in our lives, but we simply refuse to do so. This is a sign of lack of patience. Being enlightened, seeing the truth, the highest returning to ordinary are the truth of human life. The key doctrines of Buddhism will help to correct the mental state. What is karma? Why does doing a good deed receive a bad result? What is desire? Why does not Buddhism focus on the happiness that everybody wants? Why does Buddhism focus on suffering? How are the four noble truths important? What is dependent origination? 1) Leave the rage 2) Have love and goodwill towards others 3) Do not take revenge4) Pray for excitement 5) Seek inner happiness of life 7) Have a good viewpoint and 8) Learn from the lesson.
