Life Is Easy….

There is one thing that I always want to tell people now. That thing is “life is easy.... It's so easy and fun... but I didn't think so before.

When I was in Bangkok, I used to think how hard life is… how complicated it is.

I was born in a small village in northeast Thailand. And when I was young, everything was very fun and easy, but when TV came, many people came to the village and started saying, “You people are poor, you need success in life.” You should go to Bangkok to get success.

Then I felt bad, I started feeling poor. So I went to Bangkok.

I worked very hard, at least eight hours a day, but all I could eat was a bowl of noodles or fried rice or something like that.

And where I lived was a very dirty place, a small room in which many people slept. , It was very hot there…

I started asking myself a lot of questions… Why is my life so hard when I work so hard? There's something wrong, because I produce so much stuff, but I don't get enough... and I tried to find out more. I tried to study in university.

It is very difficult to learn something in university, because it is very boring.

And I started looking at the subjects taught in the university; Every single faculty, most of them have destructive knowledge. There was no productive knowledge for me in university. When I look at something, like you are studying architecture, it means you will waste more. The more these people work, the more mountains will be destroyed. And the good land in the Chao Praya Basin will be covered with even more concrete. We destroy a lot.

If we learn agriculture or something like that, it means we learn how to poison the land, water, how to destroy everything…. I feel how complicated everything we do is, how difficult it is. And we make everything difficult…

Life is so hard… Life is so difficult… I get frustrated.

I started thinking, why do I have to stay here in Bangkok? I thought – when I was young, no one worked for eight hours, everyone worked for two hours, and that too only for two months of the year, one month for harvesting rice and the other month for harvesting. The rest was free time, 10 months of free time. That's why people in Thailand celebrated so many festivals, every month there was some festival or the other. Because he had so much free time….Uh

And during the day, everyone would also take naps. Even now in Laos, if anyone can go to Laos then go there, people take a nap after lunch. And after waking up they just chat, how is your son-in-law, how is your wife, how is your daughter-in-law. People have a lot of time, and because they have a lot of time, they also have time for themselves.

And because they have time for themselves, they have time to understand themselves. And when they understand themselves, they can see what they want in life. So people - a lot of people see that they want happiness, they want love, they want to enjoy their life.


That's why people see a lot of beauty in their lives, and express it in many ways. Some people carve the handle of their knives beautifully, some weave baskets very well. But no one does this anymore. Nobody does anything like this. People use plastic everywhere.

So I thought there was something wrong here, I can't live this kind of life. So, I decided to leave the university, and went back to the village.

When I went home, I started living the way I used to live in my childhood. I started working only for two months in a year. I would have got four tons of rice. And the whole family, 6 people, eats less than half a ton in the whole year. So we would sell some rice.

Then I made two fish ponds, we have fish to eat throughout the year. And we made a small garden… less than half an acre. And I spend just 15 minutes every day in maintaining that garden. I have more than 30 types of vegetables. 6 people cannot eat all the vegetables, we have surplus to sell in the market. We generate some income from there also.

So I think, it's simple, why did I need to stay in Bangkok for seven years, where even after working so hard I didn't get enough to eat, but here, just for two months a year and by giving 15 minutes a day, I can feed 6 people. I can feed myself...it's easy.

And then - at first I used to think that stupid people like me, who don't get good grades in school, can't own a house. Because people smarter than me, who come first in class every year, even after getting a good job, it takes 30 years to own a house. But for me, who could not study at university, how can I have a house? There is no hope for less educated people like me.

But then I started making earthly buildings; It's that easy. I would give two hours every day, 5 to 7 in the morning, and a house would be ready in three months.


And another friend who was the fastest in the class also took three months to build a house, but he would have to live in debt…. He will have to repay the loan for the next thirty years. So in comparison I have twenty nine years and ten months of free time. Yeah, that's why I think life is so easy.

I never thought that I would be able to build a house like this. And now I am building houses every year, at least one house a year, now I have no money but I have a lot of houses.

My problem is which house should I sleep in tonight.

So, house is not a problem, anyone can build a house. 13 year old school going children make bricks together and build houses. After a month his library was ready. Children can build a house, an old nun can build a house for herself. Many people can build houses. So, this is easy.

If you don't believe then the person who wants a house should try it himself…

And the next thing is clothes.

I felt poor, I felt that I was not handsome. I tried to sound like someone else. Like a movie star so that I can look good, feel better.

I saved money for a month to buy jeans. When I wore it, I turned left and right and started looking in the mirror. Every time I look, I remain the same… even the most expensive pants in the world can't change me. I thought, I am so crazy, why did I need to buy this… I spent a month buying jeans. She couldn't change me..

I started thinking more about this. Why do we need to follow fashion? Because if we follow him then we can never catch him, because we follow…so don't follow. Just stay here. Use whatever you have...

It's been twenty years since then, I never buy clothes. All the clothes I have are clothes left by others. When people come to meet me they leave behind a lot of clothes, they have left a lot of clothes there. So now I have tons of clothes.

And when people see me wearing very old clothes, they give me more clothes. Now my problem is that I often have to give clothes to other people.

So, this is easy.

And when I stopped buying clothes, I think, it's not just about clothes, it's about other things in my life, I realized that when I buy something, it's because I like it. Or because I need it.

So if I buy something because I like it then I am wrong. When I started thinking like this, I started feeling more free.

And the last thing is, what do I do if I get sick?

Initially I was really worried about what I would do if I didn't have money. But I started thinking more. Generally illness is a common thing, it is not a bad thing. Illness is something that reminds us that we have done something wrong in our life that is why we have fallen ill.

Therefore, when I fall ill, I have to stop and come back to myself. And I have to think what wrong I did.

So I learned how to heal myself with water, how to heal myself with mud, I learned the basics of healing myself.

So now when I rely on myself for four basic things, I feel how easy it is… I feel free, like… uh… I feel free. I feel that I don't worry much about anything, I have less fear, I can do whatever I want in this life.

Earlier there was a lot of fear inside me, I could not do anything. But now I feel very free, I feel that I am unique in this world, there is no one like me, I do not need to make myself like anyone else. I am number 1.

That's how I made it so easy, so light…And after that, I started thinking about how much darkness I saw in life when I was in Bangkok, I thought that at that time many other people must have felt the same way like me.

So, we started a place called “Pun Pun” in Ching Mai. Its main aim is to save seeds. Collecting seeds, because seed is food, and food is life, if there is no seed then there is no life. If there is no seed then there is no freedom, if there is no seed then there is no happiness. Because if you do not have a seed, your life depends on someone else; Because you yourself don't have anything to eat.

Therefore, it is very important to save seeds. That's why we focus on saving seeds. This is the main work in Pun Pun.

And the second thing is that this is a learning center-

We ourselves wanted a center to learn, where we could learn how to make life easier. Because we have always been taught to make life complicated and difficult. How can we make it easier? It's simple, but now we don't know how to make it simple. Because – because we always make it complicated, and now we're starting to learn, and starting to live with.

Everywhere we are taught to separate ourselves from everything, to be independent, so that we can depend only on money. We don't need to rely on each other. But now, to be happy we have to come back, connect with ourselves again, connect with others, we have to connect our mind and body back.

We can be happy. Life is easy… And from the beginning till now I have learned that four basic needs: food, clothing, shelter and medicines should be affordable for everyone, this is civilization. But if you make these four things very difficult for many people, then it is rude. Now when we look around us, how difficult it is to get everything. That's why I think this is the most uncivilized era of mankind on earth.

We have so many people who come out of universities after studying, there are so many universities in the world, there are so many smart people in the world. But, our life is becoming difficult and difficult. Who are we making it harder for? What are we working so hard for now?

I think. , Oh! …This is wrong, this is not normal. So, I just want to be normal. An ordinary man, equal to animals. Birds build their nests in a day or two. The rat makes its hole overnight. But, intelligent people like us take thirty years to build their own house, and many people cannot even believe that they can have their own house in this life. this is wrong .

Why do we destroy our soul, why do we destroy so much of our potential? I feel that now the limit has been reached that normal life can be lived in an abnormal way. But, people see me as an abnormal person. Mad Man . I don't worry about it, because it's not my fault. It's their fault because they think like this.

Now my life is easy and light. This is enough for me.

People can think whatever they want to think. I can't manage anything outside myself. What I can do is change my mind, manage my mind. Now my mind is light and easy, that is enough.

If someone wants choice in his life then he has a choice. The choice of being easy and the choice of being hard, it depends on you, what you choose.
