Tension with Lost Passport

On this beautiful vesak full moon poya day, 

joining my right and left hands together, I pray, 

so that I could do something about my passport today. 

How precious this vesak day for all the Buddhists, 

but with the tension of my lost passport,

I can't think of any good deeds. 

Oh my lord Buddha, you were born, you attained enlightenment and you passed away on this day,

so please tell me how was Your life in a way? 

When I look at life, 

it is always up and down, 

and how many times we die, we cannot count.

Oh my lord Buddha, now I am at your feet, 

while searching my lost passport, 

Your blessings I seek.

Sinner and Hell

Heaven is area only for the divine beings of good doers and hell is place only for the sinners of bad ones. In majority, among the bad doers, sinners in hell are ones having committed the more serious crimes in the past. They have to suffer a lot of pain there for a long time according to their bad actions.

"He will be subject to severe pain, or impoverishment, or injury to the body (e.g., Loss of limbs), or serious illness (e.g., leprosy), or lunacy, or misfortunes following the wrath of the king, or wrongful and serious accusations, or loss of relatives, or destruction of wealth or the burning down of his houses by fire or by lightning. After the dissolution of his body, the fool will be reborn in the plane of continuous suffering (Naraya)."

Heaven, Hell and Nibbana

Among all of the beings, as if there are even right doers reborn in human and divine world differently as their actions, there are wrong doers reborn in hell as their ones. So, all depending on their actions have different lives. However, arahat has no future life as he has given up good and evil. It is highlight that unseen action can create even seen creators.

"Some are reborn as human beings, the wicked are reborn in woeful states, the righteous go to the blissful states, and those who are free from mental defilements pass away into Nibbana. "

Conquest of Arahat and the Beings

All divine beings generally have conceit. So, they fight each other. In fact, except arahat, all beings have it. It is not wonderful because it is nature of the world. Having controlling power of bodily action, verbal action, and mental action, arahat is not won in the world. Only he always wins everyone consisting of divine beings as one with insight conquest used to conquer others.

"Conquest of self is indeed better than the conquest of other persons; of one who has disciplined himself, who always practises self-control." 

"Not even a god nor a gandharva nor Mala along with Brahma could turn into defeat the victory of such a one (who has conquered himself). "
