Mind is the forerunner

Last week, Lai Ying Xin ,16,from Johor got kidnapped and killed after her family had paid the ransom to the group of kidnappers.

According to police investigation that the kidnappers are her close friends. One of them is her senior schoolmate.

Ying Xin scored 7As in her PMR. She was a homely daughter and hard working. She used to do part time jobs to earn extra money for her own use. But she had to face such a cruel experience.

After reading the news in the morning, I feel sad and angry.
Why she need to receive such a despicable act done by her own friends? Why?

We are living in a civilised society. We are educated. We are frineds in the neighbourhood. We are smarter and wiser than the animals. Yet some of us are capable of doing such acts worst than the animals.

Buddha says MIND IS THE FORERUNNER. Our acts and behaviour are dictated by ourselves and our own thinking. Our mind directs us to do good or evils.

We need to train our mind so that it has wholesome thoughts.

Wholesome thoughts will bring forth good results whereas unwholesome thoughts will bring forth bad results.

Some may say it's Ying Xin fate. She need to face it.
Why is it so?
Is it planned by God?

LOVE YOUR FRIENDS AND ENEMIES.
