Today is Vesak Day

Today is Vesak Full moon day. Today is the day lord Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death happened. Actually today is day a new teaching had started. There are lot we can learn from lord Buddha's teaching. You may be a student, a leader, a teacher, a parent, a child... or a normal human being there is lot you can learn from lord Buddha's teaching. Lord Buddha is great when it comes to describing something with real world examples. I have read many of them during the past years. Following is a simple but a generic truth about people which is explained in a nice manner which I read recently.

There are four types of clouds.

1. Clouds which thunder and lighting but do not give any rain.
2. Clouds which thunder and lighting and give rain.
3. Clouds which do not thunder or lightning but give rain.
4. Clouds which do not thunder or lighting and do not give any rain.

Similarly there are four types of People

1. People who shout but do not do anything as they shout.
2. People who shout and do as they shout.
3. People who do not shout but do lots of things.
4. People who do not shout and do not do anything.
