The Four Noble Truths
The first thing the Buddha taught the "four noble truths." This means that there are four facts that any who are real high and can understand your reality will understand that those things are true. Four facts are:- The real problem that we are facing.
- The causes are actually causing them.
- The what if these problems really ended, so I won't make them again.
- The way of understanding, action and etc, to put an end to all our problems.
The real Problem We
Buddhism says a lot about the problems and ways to solve them. In fact, all of the Buddha's teachings are intended to help us overcome the difficulties in life. The approach is actually very reasonable and practical. The method then said that any problem that we encountered, from the cause. Therefore, we must consider our own inner number-a very honest and deeply, to see the difficulties he is facing is nothing. For many of us, it is not an easy process. In fact, the number of reviews to see the areas of difficulty in the life of ours is quite a pain. Many people deny that. They are not willing to acknowledge that they have the problem-for example in an unhealthy relationship-however, they are experiencing the suffering. However, we can't just stop at the level of "I'm not happy." We need to look deeper to find what is the real problem.The true cause of our Issues
Then, we need a review to discover the cause of his problems. The problems do not themselves exist, have no origin. It must have reasons, and of course there are many levels of related factors in causing a real situation like Italy. for example, when there are conflicts about individuality in a relationship, there may be additional factors that economically complex as there are not enough money, etc., problems with children, or other relatives. There may be all kinds of situations contribute to cause problems, but the Buddha has said that we have to go deeper, deeper and deeper, too, to find out the cause for causing our problems; and that is the mistake of reality.We have misery, there is anguish, and of course it comes from kind of the cause thereof. For example, we can act in a very disturbing way-with a lot of anger for example. There's no happiness when am angry at all, does it? So, we need to realize that here, anger is causing unhappiness for himself and I have to remove the center of the pitch, in one way or another.
Problem cause we don't feel happy would be a taking is always worried. Worry is a very nasty mood. No one is happy when worry, huh? Mr. Shantideva, a leader of the great Indian Buddhist master, has said that if are in tough situations that you can do something to change it, then why worry? Just change it. Worry will not be helpful at all. And if you don't do something to change, then why worry? That would not be helpful at all. Because of ignorance about the futility of worry that I worry continue. The bottom line here is worried no benefit at all.
And then we also have problems at another level, there is the problem of discontent. Of course, we have experienced periods of happiness, but unfortunately they don't last forever, and we always want to be more happy. Never have the satisfaction. We're not satisfied if only eating food I liked once, does it? I want to eat it again and again. And if I eat too much at one time, the fun I had at first will become a severe abdominal pain. We freaked about this kind of happiness. Instead just enjoy things like that and realize that it is not stable, and will never make yourself satisfied, then we cling to it; and when lose the happiness that we feel very sad.
It was like a dear friend or someone you love, and then they leave us. Of course they are going to leave us in a while, so we have to enjoy some time with them. There is a very beautiful image that we use. When an amazing person that I love enters her life, then like a wild bird flying into my window. When wild birds visit your window, we can enjoy its presence, but after awhile, of course it will fly away, because it is free. And if we behave very gently, the birds will probably be back. But if we catch the bird and put into the cage, the bird will be very miserable, maybe even death. Similarly, these people entered our lives as this beautiful wild bird species, and the best thing is to enjoy their time at his side. When they go out for any reason, for how long again-that, which of course will happen. If we are serene and concerned about that and it doesn't require that-"don't ever leave me. I can't live without you, "something like that-then they can come back. If not, whether we hold and will only repel them away only.
When we are mistaken about the nature of happiness and joy in life, of course, we will encounter more problems. I can't even enjoy the interval happy that I get, because I worried and afraid that he would lose them. We're like a dog with food bowl-dogs are eating but also look around and bark to make sure no one gets its food. Sometimes, we like that, is it not, rather just enjoy what we have and accept that when it's over, it's over. But of course this is not so simple-even perhaps it doesn't seem simple – but it requires work, familiarise yourself with the other labels to look at things in life.
The Removal of our Issues
The Buddha said that we can put an end to its problems forever, and how to accomplish that is to eliminate the cause. It's a great method is probably, very reasonable. If we remove the fuel will no longer fire. And the Buddha has said that could eliminate these problems in a way that they will never come back again.We not only meet with the freed temporarily from these problems, right? It is similar to the sleep-sleep then you don't have problems with relationships difficult. Therefore, it is not the solution, because when you wake up, then the problem is still there. As you go on holiday somewhere, but then you have to go back home, and when arriving at the House, the problem is still there. So, a vacation is not the best solution, the most profound and sustainable.
Buddha also said that just silent acceptance of his problems and lived with them, because that is also very good solution, is it? Since then, we feel quite helpless-we can't do anything, so I give up and not even trying anymore. The effort to overcome his issues are important. Even if there is no progress much, at least, we also feel that his efforts.
The method put an end to our Problems
However, if we truly want to achieve true cessation in the matter, the true ending, the Buddha taught the truth Wednesday, that we need to follow some particular method and get the proper understanding thereof, to remove cause for, which is the ignorance of ourselves. But there was good understanding is not enough, if one cannot always bear in mind that, so we need to force development. But let the force can remember and focus on understanding it, we need to keep the sexes. So the General Buddhist methods that we use to prevent these problems is to go the way of the precepts, and force the correct understanding (sometimes called "wisdom").In addition, one of the biggest reasons causing the main problems his selfless. The majority of our selfless mind derives from the ignorance of reality, because anyway, it seems like I thought I was the only one in existence on this earth. Even if we assume others do exist, then clearly I am the most important person in this universe, is the center of his universe. Because of this misconception, so we thought, "I must always be like that. I must always get what I want," and if we aren't, we would be very sad.
But it's a very confused about reality, because in General, nothing special about me at all. All of us are the same, with the sense that everyone wants to be happy, no one wants suffering; everyone is looking forward to get what they want and no one would expect not to get what they want. Anyway, we still have to live together, because we had lived together. So, we need to increase free from AI and bi introspection, the interest in other people and in the process pass or preventing the problem. Just like we want others to help themselves, likewise, they also want us to help them.
Dealing with Negativity
Of course, not everyone is Saint or Bodhisattva, that is very true. Everyone's ignorance in this level or other levels. Ignorance we act under the influence of impurities. For example, if I thought I was the center of the universe and I am the most important person, the accompanying feelings is the insecurity, right? When ignorance, you feel unsafe and think, "I was the most important, but people don't treat me like that." What is the insecurity there.We can use what methods when insecurity-ways trying to make themselves feel more secure? One of the ways it is: "If I could have things around you, how well I will find peace of mind. If I have enough money, enough interest or love then how I would also be happy. " But as we have seen, the nature of the kind of happiness is that we never have enough, we are never satisfied and always want more.
Let's think about this. It's meaningful to me. Do we really want someone you love just say the sentence "I love you" once or not? If they just say exactly once, and that was enough-they never have to repeat that with us anymore then there was none? I never felt comfortable with that. We always want to hear it again, again and again, right? And we never reached the level that we're going to say, "Okay, you don't have to tell it to you again. You know. " So when talking about greed, it's not just the greed for material things and money. We are also greedy for love anymore, and most of us want to take special care of others. We see it in the young children. So, it's a mechanism: If we can have everything around him, it will make it safe. But this could never work.
The next mechanism is anger and hatred: "I will safely if possible stay away from things that I feel are threatening themselves." But we never feel safe; We always feel threatened; always wary of precaution when someone did something I don't like-and then I get angry and drove them away. Sometimes, this can cause to himself a failure. I'm thinking of an example of a relationship where I feel the other person is not interested enough to yourself, do not spend enough time for himself, and one la direct with them. We are angry and yelling, "you're so interested me even more! You should deal more for me! "and etc. The consequence of that is? Often they also stay away from me even further. Or they spend for us a big favour and with me a while, but you can feel that they are not comfortable with that. How can one think that angry with someone who will make them love us more? Nonsensical, didn't it? We use a variety of mechanisms of this mechanism, in the hope it will make me more secure, but really it just made things worse.
A different mechanism that we use is to erect walls. It was based on the naive, thinking that if we don't deal with the issue, however, it will not exist or itself will disappear. "I don't want to hear it anymore"-sort by this attitude, and you put up walls. But of course the State of innocence that is not viable. The problem will not disappear just because we're ignoring or not admit it.
So, based on those experiences, the friendship that we have to act according to all the negative way. Us la way. Even, I might hit someone. If you feel that "poor me, I did not have one at all," then you can go steal because think that anyway, it would be helpful to you, or I'm thinking about an example when I lived in India for many years. India is the land of insects-a lot, so many kinds of insects that you can imagine. And you can't kill them; you have no way to do that. The only solution is to learn to live with them. If you don't like having many insects live in their room, you sleep in a landslide – you have a mosquito nets wrapped around yourself and you are on the safe space. It's a peaceful solution, instead of stepping in the hunt all the mosquitoes in the room, and you'll all night because will always have more mosquitoes to kill. Underneath the door always has a loophole, or the window is not closed-so you will always have more mosquitoes. But the impulses of his negative behavior just urge kicked up: "I have eradicated them!"
There are many different forms of negative behavior. Lie, verbal, adultery, sexual assault – all these things are negative. And when we act in a negative way, on the base, this will create distress-suffering not only for others, but especially for yourself. If you think about it, then Buddhism spoke very strongly about not being, right? Now, the key here is that if you are infected with the habit of killing any animals you don't like-as for the mosquitoes, for example-then that would be the automatic response to your first, right? And not only about being. If there's something we don't like, we'd grabbed it very rough-can verbally, physically or emotionally-instead of learning how to deal with it in a calm mood.
Of course, sometimes you may have to close contentious. For example, there may be an insect eating plants; possible the insects carry diseases, etc., Buddhism is not a way of life as a fanatic. But you should not be naive about the suicide of birth. Feel free to do it without the anger and hatred in mind-"I hate the mosquitoes that cause malaria this!" And you should not be naive about the negative consequences will follow. Take a simple example: If we use pesticides norms in all its fruits and vegetables-but we also eat it, and it can cause disease. That is the consequence of negative reaction. The key thing here, back to the original starting point of the us, is the method of the ta is about the law, the resources, and brainpower, additional consent from AI and bi introspection.
Keeping Ethics
We will adopt measures to prevent this as to how to avoid the problems in your life? The first level, the first thing we do, is apply keeping ethics, to avoid having to act in a negative way. Act in a negative way is acting under the influence of the impurities such as anger, greed, accept the player, jealousy, naivety and arrogance, etc., that means when the feel I wanted to act in a negative way, we decided very clearly, "no, I don't want to behave like that."When I feel like to la because any mistake you make, then I know that the la way will only make the situation more worse. I may have to fix or solve any mistakes you made, but la direct will only make it more worse, right? Especially the reviled and cursed you-of course it will not survive for the situation. So, keeping the ethics is get to know as soon as possible, even before we act in a negative way, that we're being compelled to act in negative ways. There is a dynamic impulse led me to act like that and we will discern that: "this will not be helpful at all," and we will not ourselves to processing that Act on his impulses.
Present here, we do not say that you hold on to your heart, then it is corrosive, and you just ride, ride it until you explode. That's not the method. If we can't deal with it and it grew in in-but don't empty it onto another person. Also punched in the wall, then just do your hands hurt, so it's something stupid. What are you going to release it any other way, right?
Attendees: punched in a pillow.
Alex: punched in the knees or clean your entire floor-type method "wisdom of the mother" used to dealing with anger and frustration, and actually working hard House, jogging trail, or exercise vigorously in the exercise room will help you to dissipate the energy of anger full of frustration there.
Mindfulness and the Power
If we more and more familiar with this conduct, and restrain myself so as not to act in a negative way when I feel I want to act on it, then we are using here is called "uncivil place (shes-rab)" of his. We distinguish between what is useful and what's harmful, and based on that, we can be calm and do not hold anger inside. That's the main thing that I'm raising here is that this is often translated as "Mindfulness (dran-pa)." It means "remember". It's called gelatinous sense of preserving discipline-I'd do anything, I want to be like in my life, I want to act out the star in my life-it is the preserve of these and not forgetting them. It is mindfulness. It means "be proactive in mind."So, what we try to do is become more aware. The word "Buddha" actually means "a person who is fully awake." I tried the awakening of the emotions I'm feeling, about the urgency with which are intransitive run up in her mind, causing her to act like this or like that, and we try not to become a slave to things, which when realizes that with the understanding, one could choose the way I act like. If my bad mood, it can change; can I do something to change it.
Sometimes, the solution to a bad mood again pretty simple. One of the simplest methods is to "set up the surly kid to bed." I feel like a baby was awake too long and crying "oa oa" throughout the day and etc. Often when unhappy, we like that. So let's get down, catch a moment, go to bed. When we wake up, usually, everything will be better.
Or if you're with someone, and the condition is that very intense – then you know that in this situation, the other didn't even really listen to you anymore, and you can't really listen to them. Better put an end to the discussion – "return to this issue once we have calmed down"-and go for a walk, or do anything to calm again.
These are very simple methods. In fact, Buddhism teaches profound action methods further, but this is the beginning. We need to start by adopting the method by which I could really apply. However the principle is important, and the principle that a review where is the cause of the problem, and do something to fix them. Do not be the only victim of the problem. Said one way is to take control of what's going on in your life.
Now, if we can develop mindfulness to maintain an understanding of the behaviour itself is useful and harmful behavior. If we can note what is going on and remember how we want to act, then adjusting again, if we don't act that way. If we can accomplish that along with how I behave in the body, by word of mouth, we have developed the strength to be able to do that with his conscious mind, with what I'm thinking.
So, when we started having anxious thoughts line, or line of thought as: "poor me. No one hurt me at all, "etc., and etc., these forms of thought like that, then we'll say," come on! I do not want to continue to keep hiding in the body bag, and etc. anymore. This will only make me sad only, "and brought his attention back to something more positive. There are many more positive things that one can do with his body and mind, rather than just sit there and worry. There are many more positive things that one could think, instead of thinking that things might be even worse off stars, like when I'm worried. You see, because we are working hard to develop is that force, so that we can bring the attention of his return, when it begins to wander.
For example, when I was talking to someone and your mind starts to wander-it's not necessarily the worry that can is about: "when they keep talking about?" or "I'll eat anything for dinner here?", it might be thought about anything-and we stop paying attention to the opposite, or is a comment in his mind: "what they say is really silly," Let's put his attention back and focus only listen to them only.
This is a very practical application of the centering, but it requires discipline; and we developed the discipline's first physical and verbal behavior itself. When you develop this skill, the skill of bringing his attention back and adjust any deviation whatsoever, then you might be applying it in all situations. It's very helpful. For example, you started with mindfulness of how you hold your body should look like. If your shoulder is anti up and need the attention, and your stock is anti-up and etc – if you have the mindfulness and recognizing that, then just lower the shoulders down and relax them. It is just a matter of interest, keep in mind and do something related to her attention. Or when you begin to become too excited and it totally inappropriate in this situation, and you start talking loud and increasingly more aggressive towards other people, you will realize that and just change it. You just need to calm down, just like the lower his shoulder down, but you do it in energy and emotional aspects.
It is full of tips on how to apply the French media in everyday life. Just keep in mind and have enough discipline to implement, apply them. And you do it not because you want to be a good person, or want to do your masters please, or something similar. You do it because you want to prevent the problem-the difficulty-because you know that if you do nothing, you'll only make myself miserable, and it's no fun, is it? Then we need to apply the discipline itself on the field of the spirit, the mind – even about dealing with his emotions. Of course, dealing with emotions, the more subtle, more difficult. But as I said, if you get too excited, you can calm down.
Correct Understanding
Once you have developed the tools to power, at least to some extent, the things that you really want to be able to keep the focus on the correct understanding of what is going on. We have everything the ignorance of reality – about how we exist how others what exists, the world exists as to how – and because of his ignorance, we have launched a range of ideas about things is in fact untrue, right? We can release that: "I am not finished. I'm a loser. " Or we can launch ideas: "I was the best thing on Earth." I can think of: "poor me. No one hurt me at all. " But if we truly breakdown of people in his life, that means my MOM never hurt me, my dogs never hurt me-no one's ever hurt me at all. This is hard to correct it.Then we are projecting the illusion and believe them to be true; that's the scary thing. We believe that we can delay, or in the absence of an appointment, and it didn't matter: "You do not have the feeling that," right? And then we miss the attention to others. But everyone has feelings, and I have feelings. No one wants ignored both. No one interested in something if they have appointments and others do not report or calling there late. No one liked that at all. So, what we need to do is to use his force to sever the delusion, and discontinuation of free screenings of all the things his nonsense, such as thinking that his lack of interest behaviors do not hurt other people, because that really is the cause of our problems"I was the center of the universe. I always have to be like that, I was the most important. "this is evident is a projection of an illusion. No one is the most important person at all. But on the basis of the belief that our illusions to be true, we become selfish. So, if one wants to overcome the mind selfless, we need to break the illusion and refrain from launching its projection. Despite feeling as though I was the center of the universe and I was the only one in existence (as when eyes closed, this voice echoing in my head, and I don't see anyone else, so it looks like I was the only one that currently exist), we have to remember that this is an illusion and tried to not believe in it"It's not the same. It just seems so right. "
As Buddha said, keeping her understanding in mind at all times is the leading leg to reach the foot of removal for our problems. If we always have proper understanding it, we would not have any serious ignorance does. And if there is a true ignorance would, we would not have anger; do not have players, greed, etc. And if there is any negativity, then we shall not act in a negative way. If it does not act in a negative way, I will not cause the kinds of problems for others and yourself. That's the basic Buddhist approach on how to deal with difficulties in life.
If you want to have the happier relationship, then we need to recognize that:
- I am a human being. You are a human. We all have the same emotions, etc.
- Everyone has these strengths. Everyone has their weaknesses. I have them, and so do you.
- No one is Prince or Princess Charming on his white horse.
So, if you want to have healthy relationships, we need to accept reality. As I said, the fact that each person has the strengths, the weaknesses, and anyway, we need to learn to live with each other, and no one was the center of the universe at all. Then you will see the General teachings of any religion or philosophical basis of humanities would, it is kindness, care, love, etc., become more patient, generous, forgiving. All religions and all the background philosophy of humanities are taught the same things, and Buddhism, too.
The same principles also apply in relation to our work. If you're kind to people who work with you in the Office (or kind to his staff, if you hired someone to work), then the entire job will operate more smoothly. If you are working in m t shop and you kind, fun with the client, then the atmosphere will work much more pleasant, isn't it? And if a person honestly in your transactions-not to deceive others and etc-then neither does, things will evolve much better. That doesn't mean we don't try to make a profit and make a living, but the key is not greedy profits.
And when other people deceive us – because not all people are going to behave in the manner mentioned above-then you expected what? But the Buddhist point of view, I will not say that these are bad people; I will just say that their ignorance. Their ignorance. They don't understand that act in this way will only cause more and more problems for them: no one will ever love them. Therefore, they are the object of your bi introspection rather than the object of the hatred. If we view them as objects of your bi introspection and patient with them, then we will not suffer the brain when they cheated, and then, I try to be more careful with the next person, so as not to be deceived again. But we expect something from people? Lots of people cheat like that. So, that's the reality. The claim that all people are honest is a an idea. Not true at all! If everyone was honest, looks great, but not everyone is like that. So at least we can try to make people honest.
Those Who Are Not Buddhists Can Use These Methods As Well?
At present, we have to follow strict Buddhist spirituality of meditation, rituals and etc., to apply these methods fail? Not necessarily. We don't have to pursue a spiritual path, strict standards to apply all these things. In Germany the Dalai Lama always talk about ethics and human values become kind, more mindfulness, not naive, not to launch projection illusions, and etc. These are general instructions that anyone can follow.And when we talk about meditation, we're only talking about a method to make yourself familiar with this way of thinking, by sitting down and try to think like that, and when the mind of my mind wander, then please bring it back. You can do that while meditating and focusing on a Buddha or his breath, but you can also do it when you are reading books, cooking, when doing anything. When you're cooking, just focus on the cooking, and when the mind has the cranking, just take it back to the cooking. This is not necessarily a formal meditation in Buddhism. There are many, many ways that one can make themselves familiar with the ways of thinking, more useful action and etc, which is not involved in any ritual or formal Buddhist environment at all.
So, this is how we the French application-prevention measures-to help us avoid problems. Do you question anything?
Questions and answers
Awareness of What is happening Inside and Outside
Question: To avoid problems, it is time we also have to focus mentally fails?Alex: To avoid problems, it is time we also have to focus mentally fails? In a certain sense, this is true. But that's not the full picture. For example, we have to be very focused on the scream and fight someone, but that's not the full picture. We also need the awakening in the sense that we need to aware of what was going on inside-the thoughts, feelings, etc.-and at the same time, aware and alert to what was going on around him, with others. When someone is about to come home-a family member or a loved one, or anyone else-you find that maybe they were very tired, very tired. You have to be wary of that. That is not at the beginning of a great discussion with them about what's important, because they are tired. That's why you'll always want to have the alertness, attention focused on what was going on around him. You need to know what other people's circumstances, and not just his circumstances only.
So, we're not going to an extreme, only the perception of myself and no awareness of others; or fall into a different extreme, just pay attention to other people and not paying attention to yourself. There is also a need to avoid extremism. Many people with the syndrome can not say no, "and so, they always do a lot of things for others, for their families, or anyone, and then they totally tired and exhausted so that the spiritual collapse or become enraged. It is important to pay attention to your feelings as well as take care of her own needs. When we need a break, then take a break. When we need to say, "no, I'm sorry; I can't do this. It too me. I do not have the ability, "to say" No. "the ideal Thing is if maybe you should give them some other solution, when we say" no ". You can offer any suggestion as: "But maybe someone can help you."
In summary, be awake for everything going on, outside and inside, and then apply the correct understanding, free from AI and bi introspection.
Dealing with Anger
Question: He was talking about sweeping the House as a method of dealing with anger and other negative emotions, but he pointed out that Buddhism has a lot deeper approach. He could offer at least a hint that I can find these methods where not?Alex: The question is that I have spoken about some of the methods are very superficial, temporary to deal with yard-like when you have a lot of angry feelings pent, the labor-heavy limbs may be helpful, such as clean the entire floor for instance-and I have suggested that there are deeper method, so I can draw out a couple of ways to deal with the yard or not?
If you go a little deeper, a level to deal with anger is to develop the patient humiliation, when we are angry with anyone. Now, we will develop the humiliation rings like? There are many methods, but such a method called "ring targeted humiliation": "If I didn't put up the goal, then no-one hit it all." For example, I ask you to do something for me and you do not correct. My tendency is to get angry with you. Or you did nothing at all. So who's fault? Actually, it was my fault, because I'm too lazy to do it and I did thanks to you do that. So, I expect something? When you ask someone to do something, you expect something? For example, you ask a boy two years bringing you hot tea and it's good. Of course it's going to pour tea. Then just like that-we expect something when I ask someone to do something for yourself?
So, I realized that in fact, the key to his laziness has caused the problem. You don't need to get angry with others. And I know that when I ask you to do anything for me, then it's because I'm too lazy to do it-one is too lazy, or don't have the time, for any reason. But the key is that if I ask other people to do that, then I don't expect they will do a perfectly-or in the way that I am going to do, which may finally also my way is incorrect. I also make mistakes. If I do not make mistakes and why am I angry with yourself. "I'm not perfect-nobody's perfect-so of course I'm going to make mistakes." Therefore, you only need to accept the reality. "I am a human being; that humans can do wrong: I made a mistake. " And if I can fix, I will fix this. I am not angry with yourself. Angry with ourselves is useless. If it is then I just need to fix. If I can't fix the stop-so leave it and try not to repeat the errors in the future.
A deeper level to deal with the deck is real understanding in on myself. Currently, I'm talking about a very simple level, but even at the level of simple thing, it is still useful. "I am not the center of the universe. Why is everything always at my discretion? Why? I have something special that time things have discretion, instead of the other person? " With such thoughts, you begin to destroy this firm stance on "I" is the most important thing in the universe. "Ego" is solid. And then of course you can destroy more, more and more. When you have the view on the "I" is this solid article here and I always have to be like that, of course, b n will get angry when things aren't going his way, right?
Buddhism says a lot about how we exist and people exist is. We do exist, but we do not exist in ways impossible that we thought that he exists, such as an "I" because sitting in my head are talking, and that's the author's voice in my head. Seems to have an "ego" because inside are talking, complaining that: "what should I do now? Oh, I'll do it, "and then your body to move as a result. But that is an illusion. You can't find a little "I" within both, right? Anyway, I do exist-I speak; I do the work. So we have gotten rid of his beliefs about the launch of this idea, because it seems in line with reality. It seems to be like that. There are voice speak up, then to have someone talking in the inside man.
So Buddhism offer a lot in the whole field that we call "psychology."
His body care
Question: I have two questions. The first is: does he have to say a little more about how to care for the body or not? He mentioned that we should relax the body, but perhaps we need to do a few more things as well. And the second question is: the origin of all the reporters thought what is this? For example, people are talking inside our heads-stars that appear?Alex: Of course, there is more discipline that one can for physical health. For example, Buddhist medicine that you find in the Tibetan tradition, linked very much to the energy balance in the body. In General, the diet and his behavior so much influence to the energy and our health-behavior as when it is cold outside but you don't wear enough warm, then you will get sick. We are talking about the kind of behavior that. Or overwork-this type of behavior will make you sick.
We also strive to maintain a sense of the condition of her body. Your mind becomes quiet as many, you have higher consciousness, not only on the State of mind but also on the status of energy in your body. When you notice your energy very stressful, for example-you can feel the pulse very fast and etc-then the very basics that you can do, even just adjust your diet. For example, we can stop drinking coffee and tea, bold, and heavy foods can be used more energy to lower belly down, like fatty foods-cheese or any other item. And please stay warm; do not place the wind wherever there is breeze. Don't be on the side of the machines have higher power, which shrieked like this: "Bzzzzrrrrr". This stuff will make the disorder more energy. In a quiet environment. So there is a level of practice like that.
Tibetan tradition itself does not insist on the exercise, hoặcloạivận thểtheo motor way that adversary as with martial arts in the Buddhist tradition of China or Japan, such that. But of course many types of martial arts such as Tai Chi, qigong, something like that can be very helpful. They also are the methods to develop the focus, through mindfulness of your movements. The exercise that Tibetans are more subtle episodes related to the operation of the energy system in a different way, not by the method of martial arts. It has a slightly different way, favoring more yoga. So, that's how you take care of your body.
The origin of the voice in Our Head
About the origin of the voice in my head, it relates to the nature of the mind and a little. In Buddhism, when talking about the mind, not we're talking about something. We are talking about mental activity, and her mental activity associated with their thoughts, with voter comments, with feelings. It is extremely large. What was going on in the operation is the start of a three dimensional image of mind (mental hologram) somehow. For example, when we see something, light touches on the retina, causing the electrical impulses and chemical reactions in the nerve cells, resulting in a kind of hologram TAM would play born to reflect something that appears in our minds. But that really is a center of the hologram. It comes from all the chemicals and battery.However, the hologram is not just visually. The Centre of this image may well be a sound, like the wording. We did not hear a question within the same time-you hear every little part of it, in each moment of one-however, there is a hologram of the raw talking and you understand the definition. Similarly, the Centre of the hologram in the form of the emotions, of the thought, and also the photo as of speech-it is this voice. The only run that way. There is a perception that there were involved in any. So, that is the meaning of the saw, or thought, or feeling. It is like that. And spiritual activities he progress without an "I" separately from it are monitoring or controlling it and making it happen. It just happened like that. Then a part of the mind that the hologram is the thought of "I"-"her voice is mine." Who are thinking? I'm thinking. Not that you're thinking-that I am thinking. But that is only part of the whole process of three dimensional images here.
The origin of this voice in my head what are we? It's just one of the features of mental activity. It's not necessarily how operation of the entire spiritual activity. His voice does not take place in all the time, and I suspect about Acorn are thinking by voice. Of course there are also worms have brains, consciousness, seeing these things and do things.
Actually, when we think about that, it starts to become very interesting. A three dimensional picture of the sound of a voice is a form of communicating certain information, right? It is a kind of form of the concept to the media or a thought form of spiritual sounds of words. Interesting question is: someone deaf, dumb and innate, and absolutely no audio what-so they have the voice in their heads, or they think in sign language? It's a very interesting question. I have never found an answer for that.
So whether it's a speech, sign language, or anything — or is the way the worms think-then the illusion of having a separate "ego" behind it, "the ego" he was talking, was sitting in the control bànđiều, and the information that is displayed on the screen of the eyesthey have computers, and they are speaking, then, we press the button to move the arms and legs. This is purely an illusion. But it is a kind of illusion of "ego" was sitting at the console, which is the object of thought, "Oh, people will think of me?" and "what should I do here?" that's what we worry about "ego" in the console.
When we realize that the "I" is like an illusion, then nothing to worry anymore. We keep saying, we take action. Of course it's me: I'm talking, I'm acting. And if people don't like it, then they just don't like. So, have you? The Buddha was unsatisfying to everyone. Not everyone liked the Buddha, so I expected something for me? We only used our understanding, kindness from AI and bi introspection, then we act. It is so so. Don't worry is: "will they think of me?" The practice is not as easy as talking about it.
Control Yourself When Others Are Angry
Question: When others are angry with us, how to control myself?Alex: the basics as I viewed them as a child. When the child is two years old angry with us, we said, "time to go", and it says, "I hate you. My mom is really obnoxious, "and then do the rowdy both up, then we are angry anyway? Yes, some people will be angry; but that's just a child two years old, then you expect anything? You will try to make a toddler he calmed down. Be gentle as you would treat a child two years old. Just think: you'll find out how to deal with a child two years old so? Often when a child is two years old are doing battle too far, if you bring it up, hug and caress it, it will cool down, right? Screaming it only make it cry even more!. So, adults are also similar-they are the big kids properly.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/1/2015.
