Ai Muốn Sống Sót Qua Năm Đại Nạn 2026, Buộc Phải Làm 7 Điều Này | Cư Sĩ Ánh Nguyệt

Qiao Yue warmly greets our esteemed viewers Dear viewers within just the first 30 days of the new year Humanity as a whole and the people of Vietnam in particular have repeatedly witnessed events that have left many of us feeling unsettled Dirty food social unrest eroding trust unexpected shocks and rapid escalation like never before And that was just the beginning The question leaving many people puzzled right now is what will happen when we officially enter the year 2026 a year known as double fire How much more harsh and brutal must humanity still face No one knows exactly what will happen next But just looking back over the past 30 days is enough to understand one thing: 2026 won't be an easy year The issue isn't whether volatility will come but whether we've prepared ourselves for it What Xiao Yue shared today isn't some lofty or abstract concept nor are these theories meant to be discussed from the sidelines Those are the core things Xiao Yue is striving to nurture each day little by little step by step sometimes steady sometimes slow ot always perfectly achievable Tiều Nguyệt is also someone navigating this era feeling worries sometimes needing to remind herself to pause center her mind and preserve her well-being The only difference today is that along that path dear friends now walk beside us And today Xiao Yue shares with you seven insights distilled from the teachings of those who came before from textbooks from classics and from the very lessons that current events are forcing each person to relearn Not to escape hardship but to carry oneself safely through the year 2026 calm and focused without losing one's way If you or anyone you know feels they too could benefit from such a grounding moment of clarity We invite you all to join Xiao Yue for the full video today The first thing we must do to survive the great tribulation of 2026 is to strengthen our rear base rather than merely pray for peace Ladies and gentlemen in times of turmoil ordinary people often pray for calm but those with wisdom understand clearly The universe operates according to cause and effect it does not cease its fluctuations simply because one prays The Buddha never taught beings to seek a life free from misfortune He teaches us to face impermanence head-on and to cultivate inner strength sufficient to remain unshaken when disaster strikes Therefore the rear is the most important thing The rear begins with the family A peaceful home a relationship marked by patience care and mutual support through hardship—this is already a great blessing Others may be in chaos out there but if peace remains within there's still a place to return to in the heart Next comes a clean flow of cash—not to hoard words out of fear but to keep the mind calm when crises arise The Buddha taught living with contentment yet contentment does not mean giving up or lacking preparation A simple clear debt-free life is the most practical approach to household management Next comes selective relationships In peacetime everyone seems familiar but it's in times of turmoil that you truly see who lifts you up and who pulls you down A wise person doesn’t need many friends—just a few wholesome relationships conversations that don’t stir deceit and companionship that doesn’t weaken their spiritual resolve Finally the most basic life skill is knowing how to care for your body how to manage on your own when resources are scarce and how to stay calm in unexpected situations Those profound insights in Buddhist teachings are precisely practical wisdom—clear-minded composed and unshaken Never paralyzed by adversity Therefore securing one's rear is not out of fear for the future but because one has truly understood impermanence So don't delude yourself with false peace True fortune never lies in avoiding disaster true fortune lies in remaining unshaken when adversity strikes A calm mind finds its place and the path still holds firm Xiao Yue believes that the one who has a solid foundation behind them is the one who has already moved ahead on the path of wisdom In the rich tradition of Eastern literature Zhuge Liang was not a man defined by material possessions He was not someone who spent his days Praying to heaven to foresee one's fate waiting passively for celestial blessings to arrive In contrast Zhuge Liang embodies clear rational intelligence Knowing that the times are always unstable one must prepare from the root People later remembered Zhuge Liang amidst the eastern winds and his extraordinary strategies but if one reads carefully the Records of the Three Kingdoms you'll see he never bet the fate of the empire on miracles What Zhuge Liang did before every military campaig It's not about securing a favorable battlefront but about meticulously targeting the rear lines Has Liang Tiao reached sufficient stability Are the people at peace Are there signs of unrest within Has the line of succession been severed He understood one thing very clearly: the battlefield was merely the surface while the true outcome lay hidden behind the scenes That is why Zhuge Liang became so renowned He was the one who consistently upheld the principle of Liang Cao even when criticized for being overly cautious always maintaining discipline and order even knowing it would alienate people Always maintain public stability and regard it as a long-term foundation Throughout his tenure he never boasted about his achievements Without mentioning cunning strategies it strongly emphasizes maintaining national virtue preserving the people's hearts and safeguarding the nation's foundation The phrase later generations often summarized as "unstable rear chaotic front lines" actually goes beyond mere military doctrine But that's a principle of life Zhuge Liang understood that when one's inner strength is abundant one should venture forth and strike boldly from the outside It's just inviting an even greater downfall upon oneself This spirit when examined through the lens of Buddhist teachings appears remarkably close to the path of enlightenment The Buddha did not teach people to live on fragile hope He taught them to clearly see impermanence and then to cultivate inner strength so as not to be overwhelmed by impermanence Likewise Zhuge Liang never deluded himself with mere luck nor did he rely on fleeting emotions nor was he swayed by temporary momentum but forget the foundation He accepted moving slowly accepting being criticized as overly cautious just to gain one thing the ability to travel far without breaking or collapsing halfway through If we place this story in the year 2026 the lesson becomes very clear: the wise will not ask How can we ensure peace this year If turmoil comes have we already prepared a plan Do we have a secure foundation ready The foundation of life today is no longer just a storehouse of supplies but the family—can it still be a place to return to Is financial stability sufficient Are you calm and composed or easily unsettled Can your inner self remain steady when great waves rise Sand price a lifetime without seeking peace you prepare to stand firm and that is precisely the spirit that Xiao Yue believes in The true peace for you Xiao Jin who carries this with you as you enter a year full of upheaval like 2026 is not found in prayers Peace arises from a foundation that was prepared long ago Here follows the second task that dear friend Hiếu must undertake which is to reduce noisy connections and increase genuine connections in the harmonious year of 2026 Ladies and gentlemen there's a truth that's hard to hear but Xiao Yue feels she must speak plainly: during periods of intense upheaval the thing that kills people the fastest is It is not disaster but rather a flood of chaotic information harmony is not only the balance of heaven and earth but also the harmony of the age False news spreads faster than truth negative emotions spread more powerfully than reason and crowds always panic faster than the calm-minded Just one sensational headline a hastily edited video clip and an unverified quote—enough to ignite a wildfire of emotion among millions in an instant Anger fear and confusion in such a state people no longer think with reason but react instinctively In Buddhist teachings this is called the mind chasing after external phenomena the sense organ darting about no longer able to maintain control over itself whereas in modern science This phenomenon is known as collective emotional contagion where fear anger and panic rapidly spread throughout a community and paralyze each individual's ability for independent thoug No matter how you label it the outcome remains the same: humanity will lose the right to be the master of its own destiny in the era of peaceful coexistence The survivor isn't the one who knows the most news but the one who knows how to filter information and when to turn off electronic devices and learn to return to the real life of oneself—less online—not because social media is inherently bad but because the human heart has its limits in enduring it Without sufficient mental discipline lingering too long in the turbulent current of emotions only disturbs the mind's clarity and dulls intuition and important decisions easily veer off course stray from the right path reduce debate because in times of chaos Most debates are no longer paths toward truth—just spaces where emotions seek refuge and the ego constantly searches for its place and the anxiety of seeking someone to take their place—each person entering the debate carries a burden of fear anger and restra Not yet able to face themselves directly they project all their inner aspects onto the other under the guise of logical justification —Buddhism calls this The mind races across the field and the network Science shows that when emotions are strongly triggered the rational part of the brain essentially goes silent e more one argues the further one strays from the truth the more one speaks the more the mind becomes agitated retreating at the right moment is not a loss but rather not thrust oneself into places that drain blessings and vitality Stop following the world's gossip for it is a quietly draining form of energy—each time you pay attention you lose a piece of yourself every time we feel anxious angry triumphant or judgmental about someone else's life it's a moment when our own true life slips away I sit here yet my mind races after tragedies mistakes and rivalries that are not mine—within Buddhist teachings It means using your heart as a vessel to hold another person's karma in energy science this phenomenon occurs when energy is drawn away due to focused attention causing life energy to gradually diminish yet unaware of it themselves Many feel weary lost and overwhelmed not because their lives are too heavy but because they live too much of their lives in the lives of others Staying out of gossip doesn't make you ignorant no one dies from not knowing what's going on in the world but getting too caught up in it— en one is certainly drained of life energy and many people collapse simply because they know too much about things that don't matter to their own lives Holding onto your energy isn't selfish —it's the bare minimum requirement to remain clear-minded and grounded as you move through a year full of upheaval 2026 When the noise subsides when collective emotions no longer pull you along only then can you truly listen to the rhythm of your own breath e hunger of the soul and the genuine intuition w And when energy is preserved wisdom naturally emerges—this is the first step unglamorous not lofty yet profoundly essential but absolutely essential to safely navigate through the great tribulation of 2026 and dear friends once you have learned to guard your hear Free from the noise and chaos of the world learn to listen less speak less stop chasing others' affairs and gossip Then the next question we must confront is this: if the body has exhausted its strength what will sustain the mind and what will carry us on the path What do we have to cross over with a year of dual calamities that's why now we move on to point number three something fundamental to the point that Many people often overloo Condition 3: Cultivate the body properly for the body is a spiritual instrument if you truly understand this you will be able to survive the great calamities of the coming era 2026 esteemed listeners in the scriptures of the Buddha this truth is repeatedly emphasized yet many who hear it soon forget it Being born as a human is an extremely rare and precious opportunity the master compared it to a blind turtle surfacing in the vast ocean once every hundred years and just at that moment its head slipped perfectly into a narrow opening a small cave carved by waves drifting gently across the sea The Buddha's message was not meant to tell strange tales but to show that obtaining a human body amidst countless lifetimes is an opportunity that arises almost never Only a human body is qualified to hear the Dharma understand the Dharma and practice the Dharma—not every conscious being possesses this ability Without a physical body even with merit one cannot practice cultivation even with wisdom one cannot transform karma Therefore in Buddhist teachings The human body is not a burden but a precious spiritual instrument the sole means by which the mind can rely upon to tread the path to liberation Harming this body not only causes suffering to oneself but also amounts to severing the very foundation for spiritual practice that one has painstakingly cultivated Therefore Knowing when to eat and drink in moderation knowing when to rest at the right time knowing how to keep this body safe and stable— this is not clinging to the body but honoring the profound value of human life what the Buddha refers to as being human is not merely a condition to endure until it ends nor a tool to be exploited and drained but rather the very instrument of practice It is the sole means by which the mind can rely on to study the path practice the path and transform suffering—hereafter Tiều Nguyên will share this with you recall an event the Buddha receiving a bowl of milk rice by the river Nairanjana an event clarifying a crucial moment in his journey Ladies and gentlemen at that time Siddhartha Gautama journeyed to the very end of the path of asceticism The scriptures record tha He practiced an extremely rigorous ascetic discipline bringing both body and mind into a state of vast lucid awareness like boundless emptiness For the first two years he hardly consumed any food surviving on just a few sesame seeds for the next two years he drank only water and in the final two years he consumed absolutely nothing referred to as food six years of severe asceticism passed e Bodhisattva's body had become so emaciated that only skin and bones remained his skin dark and sallow his form gaunt and haggard like a dried-up skeleton still breathing People at the time referred to Him as He sat motionless in meditation as still as a stone in the depths of the forest so still that ants could build their nest right beneath where he sat yet He remained utterly unmoved The villagers and the children herding the water buffalo were all astonished by the sight of the mysterious monk Some of the mischievous children Even when the farmer pressed his cheek tightly against His ear and playfully poked it His mind remained utterly still free from any reaction— throughout those six years The Bodhisattva hardly spoke at all except for a single solemn utterance—He gently comforted the heavenly beings urging them not to grieve too deeply over His passing because He clearly knew He would soon attain the state of non-enlightenme Yet when six years of ascetic hardship had reached their peak a profound question arose in his mind: Why had this extreme path brought no enlightenment He clearly saw that asceticism does not open the door to enlightenment but only wears down the body making it impossible to sustain meditation in the boundless emptiness Just as the ascetic masters have always taught it was impossible to end suffering within that realm at that very moment The Bodhisattva decides to abandon the extreme path not by forsaking the vow to attain enlightenment but by letting go of a practice no longer aligned with truth On the banks of the Nairanjana River near the place where he endured six years of ascetic practices there was a large village and in that village lived two young women Her name is Sujata and Supriya is slightly younger than the prince for a long time the two of them have heard tales of Prince Siddhartha's teachings a remarkable appearance possessing exceptional talent across 64 artistic disciplines and an uncommonly kind heart sustained over two decades Two young women uphold virtuous lives silently praying that one day they might be chosen as concubines of the crown prince Yet without the slightest awareness he had abandoned his royal life to become a renunciant One day the two maidens were informed by the Devas of their impending demise They were taught to offer food for the altar to the two ascetic monks and their wish would be fulfilled believing this good news the two maidens were overjoyed They milked 500 red-haired cows cooked the milk into a pot of pure porridge and kept it warm overnight In the cleanest room The next morning the milk congee filled the air with a rich fragrant aroma its surface adorned with a smooth velvety layer of milk A vision of eight guardian fish appeared On that day Fan Tian and Dishi manifested as two ascetic monks o guide the two young maidens to the correct person who should be offered the bed when the two heavenly emperors clearly manifested their true forms He taught tha If this milk rice porridge is offered to Bodhisattva Siddhartha while he was practicing asceticism by the banks of the Nairanjana River the merit would be immeasurable And all good deeds were fulfilled the two young women then filled their most precious bowl with milk porridge and set out to find the Bodhisattva When they met Him His body frail breath faint eyes half-closed yet emanating an extraordinary stillness— knowing he had found the right one Two daughters offered a bowl of milk porridge with utmost sincerity the Bodhisattva graciously accepted the offering then returned the precious bowl After eating the milk porridge he asked the two young maidens what they wished for from that bed offering unaware of his true identity the two maidens respectfully replied Only hoping to become a concubine of Prince Siddhartha at Kapilavastu Hearing this the Buddha asked again: "Don't you know the prince " They had already been released yet the two young women stood in stunned silence before suddenly changing their wish—may the crown prince swiftly attain enlightenment Thanks to that bowl of milk congee the Bodhisattva's vitality quickly returned his body grew strong and his skin gleamed like golden light In that moment he clearly saw that the right path was the Middle Way and he resumed eating and drinking in moderation He begged for food once a day Then He descended to bathe in the Nairanjana River and made a great vow The bowl floated upstream en sinking down signaling that vows will be fulfilled the Bodhisattva turns steadfastly toward the bodhi tree awakening the great vow even if blood dries up and tendons and bones wither He vowed not to leave his seat until attaining the supreme unsurpassed perfect enlightenment After 49 days and nights of meditation he attained the threefold knowledge achieved the six supernatural powers and became completely liberated From there the Buddha unveiled the Middle Way teaching sentient beings to transcend the two extremes—excessive indulgence and severe self-mortification—both of which lead to spiritual decay and physical destruction Only the balanced path of body mind and intellect leads to true enlightenment the event of the Buddha's awakening opened the way to liberation from suffering Among all things and from this very point the human body is clearly established—not as something to be tortured but as a precious spiritual instrument through which the Dao becomes manifest In this life Stepping into the year of dual harmony the atmosphere not only affects externally but strikes directly at the core of the individual overloading the nervous system and placing greater strain on the heart It gets hotter not less exhausting and when the body is weary the mind finds it hard to settle When the mind is unsettled the path becomes nothing but theory Many people In times of turmoil one doesn't collapse from a major disaster but slowly crumbles from irregular eating chaotic sleep and prolonged stress unnoticed Caring for this body is not for indulgence but to protect the path of practice thus during this year of harmonious peace nurturing the body properly does not require anything extraordinary Eat with balance to reduce bodily heat and calm the mind sleep more soundly since lack of sleep not only tires the body and also weaken the ability to maintain mindfulness—walking more breathing more deeply spending more time in nature allowing the nervous system to be far from stress o remind the body of the natural rhythm it was born to live in to blend back into the flow of life—not everyone who studies Buddhist teachings finds the true path ahead Only those who truly value their human life can go far without a steady spirit and a clear mind the path cannot endure And in a year such as 2026 Maintaining this body in safety and stability is itself preserving one of the greatest blessings in life The fourth point: Saving lives cannot be achieved through emotion alone—it only helps within one's capacity Dear audience there is a very common paradox that arises during periods of intense upheaval The more chaotic it becomes the more people yearn to be heroes chaos often gives rise to what Xiao Yueza calls the "hero complex " Whenever I see someone suffering I feel compelled to bear their burden whenever I see something wrong I feel driven to correct it whenever I witness injustice I instantly rush in to act—so if I don’t step forward who will e world would collapse But the truth is chillingly simple Many fall not because they are evil but because they have not properly practiced the way the Buddha taught so clearly without wisdom suffering becomes mere suffering Saving someone when the mind is already agitated isn't true rescue—it only adds to the turmoil Bearing suffering while still unsettled within isn't sacrifice but rather pulling oneself down into the same pit in the scriptures the Buddha never taught that one must plunge into all suffering to prove kindness He taught clearly recognizing one's own capacity knowing one's limits knowing when to advance and when to retreat modern science on the other hand states plainly that prolonged emotional intensity becomes excessive will cause the nervous system to collapse When the nervous system collapses a person will react excessively make poor decisions and say things that hurt others Righteousness is ultimately futile—instead of saving anyone it only leaves behind more ruin Not everyone has the fortune to bear another's suffering Here is the story of a layperson who wished to save an entire village A lesson in kindness There are no limits Esteemed listeners In the Samyukta Agama Sutra the Buddha once mentioned a lay follower with an exceptionally kind heart He was neither greedy for life nor seeking fame but seeing the suffering of the world Epidemics and unrest prevailed yet the layperson stepped forward to manage everything—feeding the hungry fetching medicine for the sick and bearing the burdens of those in distress At first he used his own assets when those ran out he sold his fields and gardens once those were gone he borrowed money everywhere Just the simple thought that as long as the villagers suffer less it doesn't matter if we endure a little more The villagers were moved everyone praising him as a man of Bodhisattva compassion whose rare kindness shone brightly in a troubled world Yet what the scriptures record is this: very direct very real—soon after things began to drift off course his family fell into hardship and his wife grew anxious complaining constantly Debt piled up leaving him unable to sleep peacefully —once a joyful giver he now gives with growing anxiety until exhaustion sets in He no longer had the strength to endure any more those who had once been helped began to complain and reproach him when they were no longer assisted as before And at that very moment a sense of reproach arose in his heart He began to think I' ve done so much for them—why don't they understand me The initial compassion gradually turns into resentment sacrifice once voluntary becomes a burden When the matter was brought to His attention He neither reprimanded nor praised He simply uttered a brief piercing remark that struck directly at the root of the issue One who hasn't measured themselves cannot possibly measure others it's no different from someone who can't swim plunging into a raging current to save another The true meaning of the monk's words was not to criticize the good deed but to point out the flaw in the manner of performing it—this layperson had intention but lacked wisdom Having good intentions but lacking discipline having kind thoughts but no inner strength therefore such kindness does not lead to liberation but instead creates another cycle of suffering Similarly there is the story of the farmer who rescued a snake— when kindness is misplaced Ladies and gentlemen in the Green Book elling of a farmer on his way home who saw a venomous snake trapped and shivering from cold and hunger This person felt compassion thinking that although it was a guardian species at this moment it was suffering moved by a hidden sense of empathy The boy placed the snake against his chest to warm it hoping to save it from the critical danger but as soon as the snake began to recover its vicious nature resurfaced He turned and bit the very one who had saved him the story ends with a clear teaching from the Buddha: compassion if misplaced can become destructive Not only failed to save the person but also brought misfortune upon themselves What matters most is that the Buddha did not criticize the farmer's compassion but pointed to something deeper: kindness without wisdom From then on that thought became suffering—being compassionate yet failing to see the truth unaware of one's own limits thus only harming oneself Saving someone when the mind is not yet steady and the wisdom not yet clear is not true rescue in Buddhist teachings this serves as a warning about compassion lacking the eye of wisdom The Buddha taught on many occasions that compassion is not about rushing into all suffering a practitioner must not sacrifice mindfulness in order to demonstrate kindness There are beings who in certain circumstances cannot be saved by mere compassion thus the fundamental teaching arises Compassion must go hand in hand with wisdom otherwise that compassion itself becomes a burden and a source of harm Helping others is also a form of karma and such karma demands corresponding inner strength help only when the mind is calm for when the mind is calm New speech does not harm others new actions do not create karma When the mind is agitated retreat inward to protect yourself —guard your body firmly keep your mind clear It's not avoidance but the bare minimum responsibility toward oneself and the circumstances one currently holds In the year of the fire the wise do not strive to be heroes but only to avoid becoming victims of their own well-intentioned yet unwise kindness The fifth thing humanity had to do to survive the great calamity was to maintain a moral compass so as not to lose itself Ladies and gentlemen during the year of the dual fire the greatest danger is not external upheaval but inner turmoil When fire The tides of history rise swiftly those without an inner compass easily fall into a silent dangerous state That's doubt in everything yet blind faith in everything everything sounds right when heard everything seems logical when followed and finally one drifts off course without even realizing it Today's truth gets swept aside tomorrow for another the heart has no fixed foundation living without knowing on what ground it stands In Buddhist terminology this is called " mind without reliance "—a mind that depends on nothing thus wherever the wind of karma blows it simply drifts in that direction Thus in times of turmoil preserving a moral compass is more important than learning a hundred new things a moral compass need not be lofty or esoteric You don't need to follow grand doctrines or complex practices enlightenment can be as simple as the Buddhist teachings you genuinely believe in and consistent practice is a small spiritual discipline yet doing it every day means adhering to a few principles of life I've chosen and not letting go even amid chaos For example Speak no harsh words even when rage surrounds you do not act against your conscience even for immediate gain never sacrifice inner peace o gain a momentary sense of humility just one day in the briefest instant I still clearly remember what I live for I'm following which direction That's enough A person with a moral compass isn't someone who never wavers but someone who wavers yet remains grounded Fire may test waves may strike yet the landmark remains therefore when a path is established peace after conflict is no longer a death sentence It's just a test to see what's truly within you and what's merely temporary clinging And whoever passes through is permitted to try it stepping into a different level of existence—less stable less chaotic but far deeper and much more solid and esteemed listeners in the scriptures the Venerable Rahula has a single guiding principle to avoid straying off course—specifically in the Sutra of Rahula The monastic rules found in the Middle Length Discourses The Buddha taught his son the monk Rahula through a very simple yet profoundly wise teaching He taught no lofty philosophy spoke not of cosmic cycles or intricate practices—He simply said before speaking reflect deeply Before acting reflect after acting reflect three times—this is the central axis of the path The Buddha understood this clearly: for young people for those new to practice Those who live amidst chaos if they lack a guiding principle to reflect upon themselves are easily swayed by rumors follow the crowd and act on fleeting emotions en justifying all their deviations on their own behalf He did not demand that La Hầu La become a saint immediately He only asked that the moral axis not be lost and that axis is whether something brings benefit or harm Whether the mind remains unsettled or not depends solely on maintaining that central axis no matter where one is amidst praise and criticism turmoil and commotion La Hầu La And never lose yourself — this is precisely the spirit taught by the Buddha: you don 't need to know every teaching just don't lose sight of your fundamental principle In Thuy Huong Wu Song appears as a figure greatly admired by the people—upholding righteousness despising wealth and detesting villains Refusing to bow before power slaying the demon on Bone Branch Hill avenging his brothers ridding the people of harm each act shining with righteousness of a person with moral integrity—yet upon closer inspection Wu Song possesses only righteous spirit lacking an inner moral compass to guide and reflect himself His sense of justice is not based on an unchangeable principle but on his emotions at the moment of action when circumstances are favorable That spirit turned him into a hero hailed by the people remembered by history but when circumstances turned against him when pressed to the wall Betrayed the righteous spirit turns into murderous intent He extended his hand not out of malice but because he didn't know when to stop lacking any inner boundary to ask himself where to draw the line Whether coming this far is enough Is this action crossing the line of morality This is the point where Wu Song's tragedy lies He never wanted to become a brutal man But each time anger surged he let it control him when anger flared he acted out of injustice Using violence to inflict harm then repaying with blood— not because you are evil but because you lack a moral compass to hold yourself steady In times of chaos Those without an inner moral compass easily confuse righteousness with revenge justice with anger self- protection with destruction of others And once off the path every subsequent action— no matter how well -intentioned—gradually pushes people farther away from the light One must learn martial arts not just for life's sake but to understand that kindness alone is not enough passion alone is not enough and righteousness alone is not enough Without a clear moral compass in times of chaos the very qualities once admired in us may become forces that pull us down She descends deeper Holding a steady course Not to become weak But to know when to stop at the right moment Knowing how to keep from slipping away from the other I want to become Clause 6 Maintain a steady mind without letting the inner self be swayed by external circumstances In Buddhism the Buddha taught clearly the mind is the master Mind leads all phenomena all human actions words and decisions originate from a thought in the mind yet energy science In other words each person's mental framework determines how they perceive interpret and respond to the same event The same situation can appear as a threat to one person an opportunity to another anger to a third and calm to a fourth To perceive the whole picture it's not due to external circumstances changing but because the mind observing them has transformed Entering the year of dual harmony the outer environment is not only shifting in events and even more so in terms of collective psychological mood a harmonious atmosphere will trigger very instinctive reactions in people making anger flare up easily Judgments easily provoke Panic spreads as swiftly as fire in the wind In such circumstances many remain untouched by the turmoil A large group of nuns swept away by constant small reactions—each day more irritated each day the yard more cluttered each day more hatred more distrust Hasty conclusions once again just as yesterday—and somehow without notice inner turmoil had taken root The person who maintains inner integrity is not someone who breathes indifferently emotionally detached or fleeing from life but one who ensures their inner self remains aligned with the external world They don’t rush to take sides when information is still chaotic don’t jump to conclusions without seeing all the circumstances and don’t rush into resentment The collective emotion was running high yet they allowed themselves to pause for a breath to gather themselves and stand upright before words and actions were formed In the scriptures the Buddha did not teach disciples to react swiftly to every situation but rather to avoid clinging to each arising thought for even a single thought astray can lead to deviation You might drift off course for a lifetime but with just one upright thought even amidst the fiercest storm you won't lose your way Thus maintain an upright mind within the harmony of the five elements It's not a lofty tale— It's the apprenticeship of life Knowing when to stop before the waves rise Knowing when to stay silent before passing judgment Knowing when to return Shift your focus inward rather than merely pointing out others' flaws Those who accomplish this aren't stronger than anyone else Yet because they do not betray their own hearts as the ancient saying goes: a pure heart remains upright no matter where one stands No matter how chaotic the outside world becomes she always manages to hold on to her own sense of direction Article 7 is also the final principle Observing the precepts is not for self-righteousness but to protect oneself Esteemed listeners During peaceful years Keeping precepts is often misunderstood as something only monks are concerned with a sign of virtue or merely a formal or idealistic practice But entering an era of great upheaval the monastic life is no longer a symbol of spiritual cultivation but has become a safe brake for everyday existence Buddhist teachings view things very directly: when external conditions are chaotic karma is easily triggered a single wrong thought can set off an entire chain of cause and effect But by the time the fruit ripens there's no way back thus observing precepts during turbulent times isn't about proving oneself noble but to avoid putting oneself in danger one must refrain from idle talk—not out of fear of losing merit but because words spoken during times of chaos can easily ignite flames Speaking recklessly exaggerating or acting on collective emotion can easily bring trouble upon oneself getting entangled in gossip legal issues or public scrutiny is all too possible Whenever unaware Next comes non-involvement because in times of chaos traps are always ready quick gains easy money Once-in-a-lifetime opportunities often come with risks beyond what one can reasonably bear—ambition blurs the line and the line remains blurred en the footsteps slip easily Next comes the lack of a proper court because the real court is absent making matters worse like pouring oil on fire There are those who suffer no harm from anyone by burning oneself with prolonged anger by grinding one's mind into exhaustion by refusing to let go of relentless tension Wednesday no false promises because when society is in turmoil deviant paths to survival will inevitably lead to collective consequences Getting caught up in it isn't just ot only their own business but also the broader industry's upheaval Behavioral Science refers to all of the above as risk self-regulation owing one's limits knowing when to stop knowing how to avoid certain behaviors that could trigger chain reactions From a Buddhist perspective Nguyệt referred to it as evading karmic triggers observing precepts ultimately means preserving a way out safeguarding one's body speech and mind Staying on the safe path while the world remains in awe Therefore In times of turmoil Upholding one's boundaries is preserving one's life It's not just about life and death but about preserving lasting peace and well -being for this life and all future lives Only those who truly understand this will not view gender as a burden but rather as a protective barrier to cross through the trials of fire without harming oneself Dear everyone please be kind to yourselves for the fire of 2026 in the end is not meant to frighten anyone Not to make us live in fear and anxiety but rather as a great test of our era—testing who still holds onto their core values Who still knows how to return to the realm of body mind and spirit Who still has enough clarity to not lose themselves before everything truly erupts What Tiều Nguyệt shares today is not a secret to avoiding misfortune nor a shortcut to surpassing others It’s simply a set of very old principles Has been repeatedly emphasized by ancient wisdom in sacred texts and today the light of modern science further illuminates its enduring value Reduce noise to preserve the body nourish the body to uphold the path keep the mind upright to avoid deviation and observe precepts to cultivate and protect oneself Prepare your rear guard so you won't fall and above all maintain a clear life axis amid the turbulent currents of time Tiều Nguyệt also wishes to say from the heart that these things are not what she has fully accomplished but rather what she strives for each and every day Because Tiều Nguyệt is still learning still fixing taking one small step at a time sometimes steady sometimes wobbling but never wanting to let go The only difference today was that on that path Tiều Nguyệt now had the dear friend Hiếu beside her listening together reflecting together walking side by side If harmony is the test may we not only survive it but live more deeply more fully awake and more authentically true to ourselves Tiều Nguyệt wishes you dear friend Hiếu a journey through 2026 not driven by fear but by wisdom and a heart at peace So that the fire remains only light—turning the path no longer a flame lacking the burning of one's own life Sometimes just pausing for a moment is enough to see how many profound truths lie hidden in what seems like a simple ordinary life Xiao Yue thanks you you have chosen to pause here together to gently lose yourselves and to share common
