Today I’d like to talk about true human nature.
“Human nature” usually means “what makes people human” or “what the essence of a human being is.”
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them.”
— Genesis 1:27
We learned from Genesis that human essence is divine.
Afterward, many philosophers, anthropologists, and even biologists and scientists wanted to define what humans are.
Some define us genetically, some say we are formed by our environment, others say it’s education, others through our being good (behaviour), some say it’s how we create a society, and still others say it’s determined by our minds.
Anyway, as time went by, it seemed like human beings became separated from divine. But nowadays, there’s the idea of “anthropic principle,” from physics, and the basic idea is that “the universe is fitted to human beings because the universe is made for human beings.”
If the universe is made for human beings, according to the preceding idea, we are the same as god; we have the same ability as god. Is this idea disrespectful and irreverent toward god? But if we have the same ability as god and we just live selfishly in a greedy survival state, I think this is more disrespectful and irreverent toward god.
“We have the same ability as god to create the future as we’d like it to be.”
Don’t you think this is a great statement!? I was excited when I heard this.
But there is a caution in that idea that must be heeded: “If you create a positive image about the future, then positive things will happen in the future; if you create a negative image of the future, negative things will happen in the future.”
So it depends on our daily thoughts. If I have negative thoughts and say negative things and do negative things in my daily life, then my future will be negative. But if I create positive images, and my words and actions are also positive, then my future will be very happy.
This simple structure is the true meaning of the theory of “Cause and Effect” or “Action and Reaction.” And the creation. So you can create the future through your images (as your action), and then it will happen (as in a reaction). This theory applies not only to physics and the material world, it also operates in the spiritual world. Actually, this is the true nature of the world.
And happiness multiplies when it is shared with others. You can’t be truly happy if you are only happy for yourself; when the people around you are smiling and happy, then you will be truly happy.
Therefore, true human nature is “to create a happy future” through taking responsibility for your own actions, words, and images, and sharing them with others in positive ways.

Leo ningependa kuzungumza juu ya asili ya kweli ya kibinadamu. "Uumbaji wa binadamu ni ""kile kinachoweka wanadamu"" au ""kiini cha binadamu"" (Mwanzo 1:27); ""Kwa hiyo Mungu aliumba wanadamu kwa mfano wake, kwa mfano wa Mungu aliwaumba"" (Mwanzo 1:27); ""Mwanzo 1:27"" (Mwanzo 1:27); ""Mwanzo 1:27"" (Mwanzo 1:27)." Baadaye, wanafalsafa wengi, wananthropolojia, na hata wanabiolojia na wanasayansi walitaka kufafanua wanadamu ni nini. Wengine wanasema sisi ni genetically, wengine wanasema sisi ni umbo na mazingira yetu, wengine wanasema ni elimu, wengine kupitia kuwa yetu nzuri (matendo), wengine wanasema ni jinsi sisi kujenga jamii, na bado wengine wanasema ni kuamua na akili zetu. Hata hivyo, kadiri wakati ulivyopita, ilionekana kana kwamba wanadamu walitenganishwa na miungu. "Kwa mfano, katika nadharia ya ""kitu cha binadamu"" (anthropic principle) ya fizikia, binadamu ni mtu ambaye ana uwezo wa kufanya mambo yote kwa ajili ya binadamu, na hivyo, kwa sababu ya uwezo wake, mwanadamu ana uwezo wa kufanya mambo yote kwa ajili ya binadamu." Je, wazo hilo ni la kukosa heshima na kutomheshimu Mungu? Lakini ikiwa tuna uwezo sawa na wa Mungu na tunaishi kwa ubinafsi katika hali ya kuishi kwa pupa, nadhani hii ni ya kukosa heshima na ya kukosa heshima kwa Mungu. <unk>Sisi tuna uwezo sawa na mungu wa kuunda siku zijazo kama tunapenda iwe.<unk> Je, huoni hii ni taarifa kubwa!? Nilifurahi niliposikia jambo hilo. "Hata hivyo, kuna tahadhari katika wazo hilo ambalo lazima lisikilizwe: ""Ikiwa utaunda picha nzuri ya siku zijazo, basi mambo mazuri yatatokea siku zijazo; ikiwa utaunda picha mbaya ya siku zijazo, mambo mabaya yatatokea siku zijazo.""" Ikiwa nina mawazo hasi na kusema mambo hasi na kufanya mambo mabaya katika maisha yangu ya kila siku, basi siku zijazo zitakuwa mbaya. Lakini kama nitaunda picha nzuri, na maneno na matendo yangu pia yatakuwa mazuri, basi wakati wangu ujao utakuwa na furaha sana. Muundo huu rahisi ni maana halisi ya nadharia ya "Sababu na Athari" au "Hatua na Mmenyuko". Na uumbaji. Kwa hivyo unaweza kuunda siku zijazo kupitia picha zako (kama hatua yako), na kisha itatokea (kama katika athari). Nadharia hii haitumiki tu kwa fizikia na ulimwengu wa vitu, pia inafanya kazi katika ulimwengu wa kiroho. Kwa kweli, hii ndiyo hali halisi ya ulimwengu. Furaha huongezeka wakati unashirikiana na wengine. Huwezi kuwa na furaha ya kweli ikiwa unafurahi tu kwa ajili yako mwenyewe; wakati watu wanaokuzunguka wanapotabasamu na kuwa na furaha, basi utakuwa na furaha ya kweli. Kwa hiyo, asili ya kweli ya kibinadamu ni <unk>kuunda wakati ujao wenye furaha<unk> kwa kuchukua jukumu la vitendo vyako mwenyewe, maneno, na picha, na kuzishiriki na wengine kwa njia chanya. Kama unataka kujifunza zaidi, nenda kwenye video hii ya YouTube: Video inaonyesha hotuba ya Dharma ya mwalimu wangu inayoitwa <unk>Awakening!<unk> Ina muda wa dakika 16.
