“Mara” means the Destroyer who destroys a person’s involvement in doing good.
There are three ways of doing good. These are by giving, by observing the precepts of ethical behavior, and by mental development, Of the three, the third is the best.
Whenever we do good, we always face Maras, or destroyers, of which there are five. They are...the Mara of the defilements the aggregates, the Mara of the of karmic formations , the Mara as a deity, and the Mara of death. Of the five, the Mara of death is the worst, because once you are death you have no chance to practice walking or sitting meditation.Therefore, your duty is to be aware of these Maras, and to prevent them from influencing you. Remember that ‘without conquering the Maras, the perfections can’t be cultivated’, so you must conquer them.
We are the owners of our own deeds, and will receive the consequences!
