๕ วิธีอยู่เย็นเป็นสุขตลอดชีวิต โดย ท่าน ว.วชิรเมธี (พระมหาวุฒิชัย - พระเมธีวชิโรดม) ไร่เชิญตะวัน

Health is more important than money and possessions. Whoever finds out this secret the fastest is the luckiest person in the world. (V. Vajiramedhi) #GoodHealthIsABlessingOfAThousands “How are you doing these days? Don't forget to take care of your health.” “Also, exercise.” “Are you still walking?” “Take care.” “Take care of yourself - Master.” “Do you have an annual checkup?” “Do you have health insurance?” “So, have you been vaccinated?” “This vitamin is very good. Don't forget to take it.” These warnings about health are one of the many warnings from people that we hear all the time, not just from the author. They're part of the greetings we hear in almost everyone's daily lives. But believe me, these words of concern, no matter how kindly they come, will have no effect if we don't "care deeply" about it ourselves. A hundred people warn us, a thousand tell us, and it's all for nothing. If we don't stand up and tell ourselves, we don't stand up and teach ourselves. Health is truly a personal matter. Because if we don't take care of ourselves seriously, All those warnings fade away like the wind. Don't be annoyed by those who warn us to take care of our health. They care about us. It's not a bad idea to listen to those well-wisher voices. And if we truly act as they do, we'll find they're truly rewarding warnings. Last year, we had to close our center by default because COVID-19 no longer allowed us to live our normal lives. And that moment, was the moment I re-heard the warnings of many good friends who had been warning me for years about taking care of my health. Sometimes I'm fat, sometimes I'm thin. Many people are concerned. But who cares for me? But not as much as I care for myself. Because others care, no matter how concerned they are, they distance themselves. They warn me, and I leave. No matter how much sympathy I have, they leave. But we, the ones who have to be with ourselves, day and night. Do we want to be with ourselves, healthy, or sick? On a day when there were no appointments, I invited three of my students to begin walking 10,000 steps for the first time. We slowly and leisurely took it upon ourselves. No strict goal setting. It's the most relaxing walk. Because we're just "walking." When we're tired, we rest. When we've walked too much, we sit. Some days, we sit down in the middle of a winding asphalt road through the mountains, surrounded by a grove of newly sprouted bushes as far as the eye can see. We don't have to worry about cars coming up ahead or behind us. Because at times like these, no one wants to leave the house anymore. Due to the raging COVID-19 pandemic. That strolling on that day has become part of the author's way of life. Nowadays, I make an appointment with myself to walk at least 10,000 steps a day. Ten thousand steps bring more than just happiness. Because in between those tens of thousands of steps, we gain quality time back. Our minds, thoughts, and spirits are clear, light, and free. Our bodies sweat out toxins through our pores. Every muscle is strong from the movement. The heart pumps with vigor. The breath is clear, light, clean, and refreshing, filling the lungs. The strength of the legs and body is stable and strong, so strong that you can feel it yourself. The view, the scenery on both sides, winding along the mountainside, beautiful and natural, is the ultimate in natural therapy, waiting for someone to appreciate it for a long time. It's just that we're not still enough to look, not free enough to pay attention. The lotus pond with its blooming flowers, The sound of birds singing above the treetops, It's like there's an endless stream of gossip about humans. Three or four dogs take turns running happily after us. Until one day, if one of them disappears, we'll immediately realize that today, there's not a quorum. "Arogyaparamā labha" The Buddha emphasized this as a solution. Why is health important? Please don't forget to pay attention, my lord. The Buddha's poetry will be most meaningful for those (1) who have lost their perfect health. I just realized the value of (2) when we started to take care of our health and realized how good health affects our entire life. Taking care of our #healthylifestyle increases happiness at a low cost, but with a high return. Recovering lost health, even though it brings happiness, comes at a steep price. Starting to take care of our health while we're still healthy is even more important because it's both a "prevention" and a "cure." If you have money, most of it is in the bank or in the form of assets. If you have a car, you don't take it everywhere with you. If you have fame, fame only matters where people know you. If you have loved ones, they don't always live with you. But if you have illness or are healthy, these two things will be with you forever. They're inside us. They're with us. They're who we are. Wherever we are, they're there. We sleep, illness lies. We sit, illness sits. ...
