Buddhist teachings can apply to all worlds. I have just realized.

"บัวสี่เหล่า" or "The 4 types of lotus" is what I have in mind. I didn't think of the possibility about how true it is also on the internet world.

Once upon a time, I forgot when. The Buddha was upset because he felt that he failed to teach some of the people to become better people.
And then he saw the lotuses. He then understand a fact of life.


There are 4 types of people, They can be compared to these lotuses.

1. The lotus that sprouted over the water surface - This type of lotus will bloom after receiving just 1 light. Just like some people who would easily learn a lesson after just teaching once.

2. The lotus that sprouted right at the water surface - This type need a few lights to grow and bloom. Just like some people who need to be taught a few times before they can learn something.

3. The lotus that is still under the water surface - This type need several lights to grow and bloom. Just like some people who are harder to teach, but still possible to be taught. They just need more work and must struggle more than others.

4. The lotus that is buried under the mud - This type will never grow, They are only to be fish food. Just like some people who are impossible to teach. They will never touch the light no matter how hard you try. They are destined to rot as an ignorant.

With that, he let go of the matter and not upset anymore.


I have never imagined what the forth type would be like. Now, I have met them. Thanks to the internet.

I will do like the Buddha, I'll let go of the matter and not upset anymore. Although it's easier said than done. I'm just a normal person, not a monk. but I'll try to calm my mind. Some meditation will do.
