    The Internet and Teenagers:Revisited

    In the past 20 years,the internet hascompletely changedthe way humans live,work, play, travel, and

    learn. Internet has itsown positive andnegativeconsequences. Its atool to communicate (even with someonehalfway around the world in less than afraction of a second), sharing informationand perspectives, entertaining ourselvesand socialising using various sites likeMySpace, Facebook and Bebo. Theseadvantages of the internet can also take a

    negative shape if not used resourcefully.Sadly, the negative consequences of the

  • 8/9/2019 Namaste 2010 Issue

    3/23

    Namaste NNZFS Annual Newsletter 3

    internet seem to affect teenagers themost. Recently, I have heard many sadstories not just in the west but in all partsof the world about teenagers like myself,being so deeply shaken by the internet

    that they took someone elses or theirown life. Thus, I wanted to explore theaffect of internet on teenagers, itsconsequences and how the problems canbe solved; and find out what I might havegot myself into as a regular internetbrowser.

    How do the negative consequences ofthe internet affect teenagers?

    In a survey I conducted among people in

    my class, aged 14-15, they told me thatthey mostly used the internet for chatting,commenting, uploading pictures in MSN,Facebook and Bebo, watching videos inyou tube, downloading music, playingsolitaire and very few said doing somehomework. I was shocked to find out thaton an average they spent 10.6 hours aweek in the internet, 2.6 of which is forschoolwork. My survey also revealed that2/3rd of my classmates consider

    themselves addicted to the internet.Many teenagers around the world cannotimagine life without the internet.

    Internet is a means to a serious bullyingproblem, cyber-bullying. Cyber bullyingoccurs when one or more individuals usethe internet to inflict psychological harmon another individual using social sites likeFacebook and MySpace to spread untruerumors and creating fake identities tomanipulate others or post unwanted

    picture of an individual.There have beenmany incidents caused by cyber bullyingall around the world, a remarkable one isthe case of Megan Meir, aged 13 ofAmerica. When she received hurtfulmessages from someone who she haddeveloped a strong emotion for in theMySpace t in last August, she committedsuicide in her own bedroom. After herdeath, it was found out that her strangerMySpace friend was in fact older boys

    from her neighbourhood in disguise just

    fooling around. I dont think they realisedthe trauma it caused for Megan, herfamily and the entire community. Like anyother bullying, cyber bullying affectsteenagers mental, physical and emotional

    well being. Schools havent done enoughto encourage students to open up aboutcyber-bullying; they feel like they are thesole victims of cyber-bullying and bottleup their depression resulting in low self-esteem.

    Cyber-bullying is also often encouraged bychick-flick movies and soap operas byportraying the bullies as the popularones. I think teenagers will have to thinksensitively before getting influenced by

    such popular cultures. In the 21st century,when the world is filled with so muchviolence and selfishness, I think teenagersshould do the best to protect themselvesand not be misled as the effect of cyber-bullying can be very profound, aswitnessed in Megan Meirs case.

    How can this problem be solved?

    There are various things that can be done

    to prevent teenagers from getting badinfluence from the internet. Parents caninstall Safe search filtering setting athome to keep their kids from using theinternet to find inappropriate sites withpornography and sexual texts. But somekids can easily change these settings.Thus, recently Google has introduced amore reliable system that makes it harderfor the kids to bypass these settings. Oncethe setting has been changed, the newpage will have large balls in the upper

    right corner so that the parents can seefrom across the room that their child is inthe safe search page. Based on a survey,I conducted with some parents of myclassmates, they told me that they areusing various methods to keep theirchildren in the right track while using theinternet. Some had installed filtering sites;some kept the computer in the familyroom to make it more accessible for themto monitor their kids internet behaviour

    whereas some discussed internet safety

    and its consequences with their children.CBS News advices parents to keep theirchildren busy to prevent internetaddiction. They say, Internet should notbe used as a high-tech babysitter.

    Parents can keep their bored teenagersoccupied in the holidays by sending themto a summer camp, enrolling them inteam sports, encouraging them to get acasual job and so on. Schools can alsohelp solve this problem by employingcounsellors to discuss ways to cope withcertain situations in Cyberspace with thestudents. Although teenagers are under alot of peer pressure to join social sites andgive it time, I believe with the right selfdiscipline and guidance, it should not be

    impossible to balance ones social andprincipled life. Like the saying, smallthings are mighty ,there is no onesolution to end the downsides of theinternet but there are certainly manysmall things which dont look effective(thus people tend to ignore, e.g. keepingthe computer in the family room) thathave a big contribution in controlling thenegative influence of the internet onteenagers.

    How might the internet change the future

    of teenagers?

    About.com says, No invention in thehistory of man has had a more dramaticimpact on a childs world view, in such ashort period of time, as the internet. Inthe past 20 years, the internet hasdramatically changed our lives. Theinternet is advancing every day, and wecan only imagine what the future will have

    in store for us. The future of the internetis filled with opportunities if we use it withthe right intention .For example: - we canhave a check up from a famous doctorhalf way around the world from us, usinga webcam. Unfortunately, researchersbelieve that the internet has been misusedand is going to be misused in the future.Internet is being more of an unwanted

    distraction than a privilege for teenagers.They cant imagine life without this. And

    the saddest thing is, it puts a big questionmark on my views stated above- it should

    not be impossible to balance your socialand principled life?This has been a muchdebated topic. Researchers believe thatkeeping occupied is one of the solutions tointernet addiction, but some teenagers

    argue that life without internet is virtuallyimpossible. This teenage attitude towardsthe internet is not right. Teenagers usingmore internet have a greater chance ofweak spellings and grammar caused bythe hideous amount of text languagesbeing used in Cyberspace. For example: -Wr r u?(Where are you?). This along withthe huge amount of time they spend inthe net will affect their studies negativelyand harm their future. In the future,teenagers are going to rely more on the

    internet to communicate and date. Moreteenagers are likely to use the internet astheir social outlet which will result in alack of social skills and verbal skills. Themain target of this will be teenagers wholack self confidence in talking face to facewith other people. The internet alsomakes our young generations lazy and willincrease the rate of obesity andsubsequent increase in the cost of healthcare system. Therefore, tax rate will

    increase again (HURRAY!). Pornography inthe internet also encourages child sexpredators; chat rooms are more likely toincrease the rate of paedophiles.Personally, I am ashamed that we, beingthe most intelligent life on the planet,have made our communities unsafe andprecarious through something asbeneficial as the internet.

    I think the saying, all that glitters isntgoldis perhaps true. My research tells methat people got so blinded by technologieslike the internet, that they ignored thenegative consequences of them until itbecame so big it was hard to beoverlooked bywell-functioning eyes.Nowwe will have to keep our fingers crossedthat we wont have to suffer from themistakes of the past and look forward toreducing the negative consequences of theinternet, whether by keeping ourselvesoccupied, filtering inappropriate sites or

    limiting our screen time. I think we can all

    contribute towards making ourCyberspace and our communities safer toprevent any further cases like that ofMegan Meir and make the impossibilitiesof life possible like Vint Cerf once did,

    when he invented the fastest network inthe world- the internet.

    Fundamental rules of life

    Do unto othersas you wouldwant them todo unto you(Confuciusteaching)

    Be proud1 ofwhat you do

    Have fun doing itFundamental motivational factors to dosomething interesting in the life are:

    1. Survival factor, but question arises: Would you go against the nature to

    survive yourself? Would you abandon your loved

    ones for your survival? Would you kill for money? Would you die for money?

    The answer is perhaps no, so there mustbe other factors too:

    2. Social relation factors: Attachment with the surrounding Attachment with the family and

    friends Oneness between husband

    and wife Love to the parents Love to the children Closeness between relations Closeness between friends

    Love to the society Love the nature and abide to the

    natural law Like die for the nation; die for

    beloved one; die for a cause.

    But nobody probably is satisfied only by

    surviving with their social relation, theyalso like to be involved in action to dosome sort of interesting things and havefun by doing it, which are:

    3. Entertainment factors: Can be a game: Football, Cricket,

    Dandi Biyo! Can be recreational activities: e.g.

    Bungy Jumping, trekking at theridge of the hill.

    Last but not least spending hoursfor news from Nepal until theshoulders and neck got stiff (forpeople like myself).

    Can be an intellectual/creativeentertainment: trying to figure outhow the world and things around usreally work

    Philosophical and scientificthinking by analysing the fact

    Fun by doing somethingmeaningful; no matter how big

    or small they are.

    Fun being famous: Trying to be niceand make non famouspeople feelthat famous people are better off.

    Dream to be a scientist :Einstein

    Dream to be a Doctor :Hippocrates

    Dream to be a famous actor/actress : Shahrukh Khan/AishwaryaRai

    Dream to be a famous player: Sachin Tendulker/ William sisters

    in tennis For which people putsignificant effort to achieve it.

    It can also be a spiritualentertainment: trying to understandwhat our life is and what it is for:

    Understanding the Dharma Where did we come from Is this the only time we know

    or is there a future after this lifetoo How to guide people to follow

    Dharma Discovering natural law and

    follow it Delight being a Rishi /

    Maharshi And find oneself a realised

    honest and reasonable person

    1ProudThink what should be done to be proud

    throughout life Do you become proud by

    demolishing your good culture andSanatana Dharma?

    Do you become proud of having aluxurious life after acquiring money bylying?

    Do you become proud of intoxicatingyourself for enjoyment (smoking anddrinking (too much!))?

    Do you become proud of youradultery behaviour?

    Do you become proud of hurting yourparents?

    Do you become proud of hurtingyourfamily/children/friends/ and others?

    Do you become proud of goingagainst natural law?

    Do you become proud by doingsomething you might regret later?

    Perhaps, the answer is no: However it isdifficult to discriminate right and wrong

    now but might be revealed later.

    Therefore, the best criteria ofdiscriminating right and wrong are to be

    aimed towards preventing the possibleregrets that would be painful once they

    are realised.

    Right karma might lead us to be proud forever !!!

    Everything is in Mind

    There are three types of suffering in thisworld. Firstly, the suffering caused by theconcepts of identity or also known as nonself. Secondly, suffering caused bydissatisfaction and thirdly, sufferingcaused by impermanence. These three

    types of sufferings are caused by ego,conscience and change. Ego also knownas self gives emotions which impair ourperception which usually makes us to actor speak unskillfully. Ego makes ones viewnarrow and gives a limited option toperceive, feel, and think openly.Conscience gives us ability to judge, actand speak. It also gives things likeexpectation and fear. Fear andexpectation with each other prevents one

    to get true perception of the relativereality causing ignorance. Due to theignorance our view is clouded, so is ourperception. Therefore, causing us to feel

    fears and thoughts of expectation.Change is due to the emptiness ofeverything. The two major thingsabout emptiness are time and space. Itis also known as spontaneous continuum.Time is the factor of truth which gives usthe freedom of will. Space is the factor oflove which gives the mind the cohesivefactor. Joy is the energy that comes fromthe union of truth and love, which givesrise to all the phenomena including theexistence of all the sentient beings. And,also the phenomena of non existence.Here we should understand thateverything is in mind whether existing ornot. There are two parts to mind, relativeand absolute. In relative there are formswhich originate from emptiness. Theseforms and phenomena seem real until

    enlightenment. After enlightenment

    relative world seems like dream.

    When we go about living our daily life weare worried about how much do we havein our bank account. When do we have to

    pay the bills so and so forth. We getpreoccupied by what someone said to usor what happed to us. We want to behappy and safe all the time. We put meand mine above everyone and everything.Due to some phenomena or objects weexperience pleasant, unpleasant or neutralexperiences. These experiences createtendencies or personality of an individual.These tendencies makes one want what ispleasant, discard or getaway from whatunpleasant and avoid what is neutral.

    Everything that is perceived by ourconsciousness gives certain perception,then certain feeling then certain thought.But when one is not liberated or hasattended egoless state then he or shewould have emotions. These emotionscause a lot of disturbances in mind. Dueto these disturbances we do not see thetrue reality, then we act or speakunskillfully. This will cause yet moredisturbances and a cycle of life

    perpetuates. The suffering continues untilwe reach liberation.

    After we have realized that there is no egowhat so ever you become liberated. Thenyou stop becoming bounding by thesituations. Then you taste the freedom,acting and speaking freely. But still weexperience suffering. The suffering ofdissatisfaction. This suffering starts withconscience which is the ability of morality.It gives fixed ideas and concepts about

    everything. Due to this fixed ideas andconcepts we can't find peace and joy ineverything. These tendencies to cling onto the concepts create expectation andfear in our mind. Therefore causing mindnot to settle on its essence. Expectationand fear work hand in hand. If there is noexpectation there is no fear and viceversa. Without expectation and fear,every moment is a joy, every perceptionis a clear light and every thought is

    wisdom. Then you are fully liberated or

    enlightened. One becomes fearless, joyfuland actively compassionate. One restscompletely on the essence.

    The third type of suffering we face is

    impermanence. Everything arising,ceasing and changing all the time. We donot even see this as suffering in thebeginning but its the not knowing what isgoing to happen next. In this stageemptiness of dependent origination seemsto be the main factor which causessufferings. Emptiness of dependentorigination is also known as inter- twiningof space and time. All the space we findbetween and behind everything, inside oroutside, is due to love either it be

    relative or absolute. And the time either itbe relative or absolute is due to joy. Thething that holds, contains andencompasses everything is truth eitherit be relative or absolute. Once weunderstand this completely, we becomefully enlightenment. We becomeomniscience.

    Therefore sufferings do exist. The maincause of sufferings is mind. The main

    cause of sufferings to cease is mind andpaths that lead to the end of suffering ismind itself. Ego is mind, ignorance is mindand impermanence is mind. Liberation ismind, enlightenment is mind and so is fullenlightenment is mind. Therefore we cansay that everything is mind. But mind not

    a thing. It is neither existent nor nonexistent. It dose not have any shape,color, size, weight, voltage or depth. It isempty in essence. Mind acts as containerthat holds, encompasses and makesanything a possibility. Mind is unborn inits essence, it is beyond the concept oftime. All the phenomena that occur inmind are empty in essence. The thing thatholds mind together, its essence is trutheither it be relative or absolute.There are two types of truth eitherrelative or absolute. There are manydifferent types of relative truth in our dailylife in this world. But there are only sevenabsolute truth in existence. In relative

    there are five aggregates that compose of

  • 8/9/2019 Namaste 2010 Issue

    8/23

    Namaste NNZFS Annual Newsletter 8

    a human being. These five aggregatesmake up a beings personality. These fiveaggregates are form, feelings, perception,volition and consciousness. Through thisone views his outside, external

    phenomena and changing forms. Alsothrough his mind consciousness one canview the inside. The inside of the mind isconscience which contains feelings,perceptions and thought processes of anindividual. But until enlightenment one isunable to view that all these aggregatesare empty in essence. After enlightenmentemptiness is experienced form theseaggregates.Space is filled by five qualities.Consciousness is filled by patience, form is

    filled by emptiness or voidness, feeling isfilled by equanimity, perceptions are filledby wisdom and volition is filled bycompassion. All these aggregates arecomposed of emptiness. Meaning thatthere is no real self to be found in theseaggregates. In relative world self is seenas our body or our consciousness untilliberation. Conscience is made of threeparts; feeling, perception and volition.When one realizes that there is no self in

    conscience he or she becomes fullyliberated or enlightened. And lastly whenone realizes that ones essence, whichessentially one for all the sentient beingis empty of all the characteristic, onebecomes fully enlightened. Thereforesubject, object and action become one.Time in relative consists of five facets;tolerance, realistic, unconditional,tenacious and honesty. And a humansbody also consists of five chakras; body,speech, mind, qualities and energy. For

    liberation disturbing emotions arise fromthese chakras. Anger form mind, jealousyfrom energy, pride from quality, ignorancefrom body or brain and attachment fromspeech. Here after enlightenment one getstolerance or patience in mind, one getsvoidness or emptiness in energy, one getsunconditional or equanimity in quality,one gets tenacious or wisdom in body orbrain and one gets honesty or compassionin speech. There are five wisdoms that

    you acquire after enlightenment. One get

    mirror like wisdom in mind, experiencingwisdom in energy, equanimity in quality,intuition in body or brain anddiscriminating wisdom in speech.Patience, voidness, equanimity, wisdom

    and compassion are five facet of love butvoidness gives fearlessness whichtransforms into peace giving activity,equanimity transforms into protectingactivity, wisdom transforms intofascinating activity and compassiontransforms into enriching activity

    On other hand absolute truth is one butcan be subdivided into seven facets. Thefirst absolute truth which bring togetherabsolute and relative is form is

    emptiness, emptiness is form, form andemptiness can not be separated referringto the voidness of reality. Second absolutetruth is let it be referring to thetolerance or patience. Thirdly, there is nosuch thing as acceptance or non-acceptance referring to unconditionalnature or equanimity of all things.Fourthly, there is absolute love as well asrelative love which is the foundation ofhonesty and compassion. Fifthly,

    Everything goes out of balance andcomes into balance which means allwisdoms is balancing act. Sixthly, everything is mind which combines allthe truths. And lastly fun which is thereason for existence. There is absolutetime, which is two thousand and fivehundred relative year is quarter absoluteyear. There is absolute love, which can besubdivided into; twenty five levels ofpatience, sixteen levels of emptiness orvoidness, thirty two levels of equanimity,thirty two levels of wisdom and fifteenlevels of compassion.

    Fun actually means the balance of work,rest and play. There are seven levels offun as there are seven levels of absolutetruth. Therefore, there are seven levels ofmaturity. The first levels of maturity isknown as one pointedness, here mindrealizes emptiness in all the worldlyphenomena or outside. Second level of

    maturity is known as liberation, here

  • 8/9/2019 Namaste 2010 Issue

    9/23

    Namaste NNZFS Annual Newsletter 9

    mind recognizes that there is no self inour body or inside, just emptiness. Thirdlevel of maturity is known as one taste,here mind realizes emptiness ofconscience in all the phenomena outside.

    Fourth level of maturity is known as nonmeditation or enlightenment, here mindrealizes emptiness of conscience. Fifthlevel of maturity is known as noncontemplation, here mind realizesemptiness of essence in all thephenomena space or outside. Sixth levelof maturity is known as fullenlightenment, here mind realizes thatessence is empty. Therefore these sixlevels of maturity would have differentunderstanding different levels of fun.

    Therefore the seventh level also known asretirement would have different level ofunderstanding of fun.

    A Short Essay

    Half Cooked Rice with MildMushroom Curry

    In the early ninetieswhile I was anundergraduatestudent at RampurCampus I had to go toKathmandu for somepersonal reasons justbefore theRakshayabandhan. InKathmandu, I met oneof my friends working in the Agricultural

    Development Bank of Nuwakot. He askedme if I would like to join his group for atrip to Gosaikunda. Although I wasunprepared, I decided to join the group sothat I could take a holy dip in Gosaikundawhich is in Rasuwa, the neighbouringdistrict of Nuwakot. Gosaikunda is locatedat an altitude of 4,380 metres. Since thiswas my first trip to such a high altitude, Ihad many strange experiences and wouldlike to share one of those with you.

    We went to Nuwakot together and stayed

    overnight at his office. As I used to workat the same office, I was familiar with theplace and the people around. I borrowedsome warm clothes from friends anddeparted for the trip next day.

    We were 7 in our group. The place fromwhere we had to catch the bus was 7 kmaway from Trishuli towards Dhunche.Since buses were full with pilgrims, wecould not get seats so we decided totravel on the roof of a bus. This was thefirst trip for the most of us to Gosaikunda.After crossing Kalikasthan, we foundsceneries very beautiful. We wereenjoying the greenery of LangtangNational Park, waterfalls cascading from

    steep slopes and the patches of fruitbearing apple trees on the roadside. Wereached Dhunche in the evening andstayed overnight at AgriculturalDevelopment Bank's guest house.

    After climbing the hill for about fourhours, we felt very tired and hungry so westayed at a place near Chandanbari whichhad several temporary thatch hutscatering visitors like ourselves. We

    selected one of the huts that looked cleanand tidy for the lunch. There were someother people waiting for the lunch beforeus. Apparently the hut owner had only onebig pressure cooker and she had to usethat to cook rice in turn to feed visitors.We had to wait until the first lots of peoplewere fed. However, she had sufficientcurry to serve with the rice. She asked usto wait for our turn. The first round of ricewas ready and she started serving it toothers but when I saw the curry of red

    mushroom I was scared to death. I knewthe red mushroom was not a cultivatedvariety. I also knew some wild mushroomvarieties but not the red one she cooked. Iasked her, where she got the mushroomfrom?. She replied that she bought fromthe people who had collected it in theforest. I looked around and found that Iwas the only person worried about it.Therefore, I decided not to ask morequestions. After serving the rice to the

    previous group there was one plate left

  • 8/9/2019 Namaste 2010 Issue

    10/23

    Namaste NNZFS Annual Newsletter 10

    and she asked one of us to take it. Themembers of our group respectfully askedme to eat the rice first. I politely refusedseveral times but none of my groupmembers volunteered to take the rice

    before me. So I took the plate and waitedtill the next round of rice was ready forserving. The hut owner wanted me to eatthe rice while it was hot. But I was noteating the rice for two reasons; firstly, Iwas not sure how safe it was to eat thewild mushroom, and secondly, I was notfeeling comfortable to eat alone before myfriends. The other people who got the ricetogether with me emptied their plates andwent away. I felt slightly relieved to seethat nobody was reacting abnormally after

    taking the meal. By the time, my fellowmembers got the hot rice, the one on myplate was cold and almost like halfcooked. I asked the hut owner for anotherplate of hot rice but she refused to serveone even when I was happy to pay extrafor it. Anyway, I ate the cold rice with thescary mushroom curry and relieved myselffrom the hunger.
