Dhamma questions and answers by Master Acharavadee Wongsakon
October 2, 2019
Life is the unity of the physical and the spiritual entities; however, the mind is also a formless continuum that is a separate entity from the body. When the body disintegrates at death, the mind does not cease. Our spirit will still remain and seek out to a new body and new life by the resultant karma (cause and effect) of one’s past actions. This ‘Karma code’ will determine where they will be born as a result of the past and the accumulation of positive and negative actions.

When people are unconsciously and overly obsessed with something, it could ruin their life fundamentals. Particularly, for householders, no matter how busy their work is, how many friends they have or how much volunteer work they’ve gotten, they should allocate their time right. When it’s family time, you should give it all to family both physically and mentally. If you can manage your life well, it is certainly possible for laypeople to attain enlightenment.
