Advice on worldly affairs
Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2010 12:27 pm
I am a vajarayana buddhist(kagyu School) and planning to buy a house.
The problem is i haven't had any success yet for 2 months in a row.
In my country we don't have the culture of going to an estate agent and ask him to search for the house you want.
So i decided to search for it myself by going from village to village every day. There are lots of houses where nobody lives in because the owners have moved to cities. I had contacted many of them but they don't want to sell .It is not a question of me not having enough money and trying to force them into a little profitable affair for them.No , is not like that. I have enough money to buy the exact property i want and to offer the price the property deserves but had not much success in finding one.
So now my question is how can i increase my luck or what sort of practice can i do to succeed in this venture.I am only familiar with vajrayana practices.
It could be a question of merit.I may not have enough merit.
Another thing is that i really don't know how to look at this situation from a buddhist point of view.
Does it somehow mean that i shouldn't try to buy a house and do something else or what?
I don't know how to see this.
I need advice on this situation because i feel that i am stuck and don't know how to proceed further.
Any advice and thoughts on this matter will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
