Everyone is born with a fixed set of destiny, but it does not remain fixed forever. Each and every one of us is given the opportunities to transform our destiny for the better. The first step is to recognise that it can be done and the second step is to do it. It is as simple as that.
Ordained into the monkhood is an extremely powerful way to transform life destiny and to reduce the afflictions of Karma, but not everyone is able to do that. It requires a lot of commitment to make that decision therefore we must always respect the monks and nuns.
Apart from monkhood, one can also rely on education, layman religious practice and Fengshui to transform destiny. Important note is to be charitable to those who need your help once you have transformed your destiny.
I have included the Heart Sutra (translated by Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh) as part of this reading. It is one of the highest form of realisation that any practitioners can achieve. One may not connect to the writings as of now, but eventually the realisation will set in. Hope you enjoyed this book and the Heart Sutra as well.
