Domain and life goal
Whatever we do, if we do at the area/skill we know, then we can get success very easily.
If we do in an unskillful area, we can succeed if we have many supports from others.
If we do in an unskillful area, we cannot succeed if we are lacking of support from others.
This area is called 'gocara ' in Pali, meaning is domain , field, pasture.
Today, I have a talk with a devotee. She is failing in business because she is doing a business that she is not familiar with, and her family cannot support it. She fails because of wrong domain and lack of support.
For the yogis, the domain is the four foundations of mindfulness. As long as yogis stay in this domain, that means practising the four foundations of mindfulness, i.e. body , feeling, mind and dhamma , they will succeed in their meditations.
Also to be succeed in gaining education, or doing a job, etc , the chanda (wish/desire) and faith/confidence (adhitthana ) in ourselves are very important. In fact, chanda is one of the adhipati (predominance) condition among the 24 conditions. Adhitthana is one of the 10 paramis .
As for me, my wish is to learn Pali more and improve in my Dhamma knowledge. I also have the confidence that I can achieve my aim.
If we have a very strong wish and confidence, and we work at right domain/area, we can succeed in our life goal. [Sayalay Cala Theri, 10th Mac 2016]
