This weekend is a long one because of the Queens birthday. While New Zealand is celebrating the Queens birthday this week, Australia is not yet until next week, how strange it is?
I pondered on the mystery of life a lot recently. And the destined fortune that the Queen Elizabeth has been the topic of our conversation. We agree that her destined fortune is unsurpassable in the world. In the history, there were innumerable military coups overthrowing the kings or queens recorded, and this never had happened to her. As to her marriage, she married a tall and handsome husband, and I believe throughout her marriage over the 60 years, the husband had never had a harsh words to her, let alone any violent assault happened to most of the couple in the world (I, too, have never said any harsh word to my wife). Longevity is around her family and so she is believed to be having a healthy and long life. And during her sovereignty, she had had a most glorious position in the global political stage that the United Kingdom was once referred to "the Empire on which the sun never sets"
Buddhists believe that everything happens with a reason. So why the Queen has such a good destined fortune and not me or you? Why some people are born in a rich country while a lot more others are born in poor ones?
In both Eastern and Western worlds, "you reap what you sow", is commonly accepted. "You harvest melon because you planted melon, harvest bean if you planted bean". With this concept in mind, we can conclude that the Queen Elizabeth must have done a great lot of good deeds in her previous life and soul she is rewarded with such a divine quality of life.
