Eight World Concerns.
The people of the future, the eight worldly concerns are the bold demons that live in every man, high and low alike.
Here's what they are:
- Happy when you are praised, and sad when you are reviled;.
- rejoice at the fame and mourn at the slander;.
- to enjoy pleasures and be sad because of troubles;.
- Be happy about profits and be sad about losses.
You must understand yourself to understand:.
Are all the good roots you have created in the past through thought, word and deed conditioned by these eight concerns, are they present in your current actions and will they determine the future?
It is very important not to get carried away with them!
