At the time of Buddha was in this world, a lot of people under Brahmin believe that after death they would be born to live with a God God Brahma (Brahma) immortal. One day a Brahmin to ask the Buddha that people should do to be sure that he will integrate with god Brahma after death. Buddha taught: "Brahma is the source of love, so want to mingle with his god Brahma to practice quartet is immeasurable Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy, Equanimity ...
"From" Sanskrit is Maitri, Metta Pali. "Bi" is Karuna and "Joy" is Mudita in both language systems. "Discharge" is Sanskrit and Pali Upeksha upekkha. Four immeasurable as four state of true love. We called immeasurable because if you practice these mental states, we will increase daily until universe covers. You will be happier and the people around you also become happier by practicing the Four immeasurable.
As Nagarjuna (Nagarjuna), a great master II century Buddhist practice will center From help us eliminate the hatred in the mind. Practice compassion will help us eliminate sadness, worry in mind. Hy Practice Center would eliminate sorrow, joy arises. Practice equanimity will help us let go of hatred, jealousy, envy and attachment.
If we know how to develop kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity, we will know how to heal scars caused by anger, sorrow, insecurity, revenge hostility, loneliness and bring bigotry. According to economic Anguttara (Anguttara Nikaya), Buddha says: "If the aversion arises as a monk, he should practice letting go kindness, Bi or Discharge to the people he has brought to the remorse ".
Some Buddhist commentator said that the doctrine of the four immeasurable not the highest teachings of Buddhism, they do not lead to the cessation of suffering. This is not really true. Once the Buddha taught that Venerable Ananda: "Teach the Four immeasurable teachings to the young monks to be secure them happy, healthy body and mind, so that they are well equipped on the pathways to enlightenment ". Another time, the Buddha taught that anyone practicing the four immeasurable combined with the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path will quickly progress to enlightenment. Since, Bi, Joy, Equanimity is the essence of enlightenment. They are the four aspects of true love in me, in everyone and everything.
Metta is mind has the power to bring joy and happiness to yourself and to others. To develop kindness, we need to practice looking deeply and listen deeply to know what we should do and should not do to create happiness for others. If you bring someone you love what she does not want, ie you do not practice kindness. You have to understand the real situation of the person and find out what you bring will make him happy. For example, many people like to eat durian. We can say that they durian addicts. The smell of it spread very wide and can sometimes even to people when eating its shell under the bed to continue to enjoy its aroma. Yet there are some who do not tolerate the smell. If you invite them to eat durian they will not be happy. If you're sure that you love him and you want him happy, but you are pressuring him to eat durian love means you have but do not understand him. This is an example of love ignorance. Your intentions are good, but you did not have a correct understanding.
Love Ignorance is not true love. You have to look deeply to understand the desires, feelings, needs and even the suffering of the people you love. We all need love. Love brings joy and happiness is as natural as breathing in and out of us. We are loving plants, we have to give us fresh air. To be loved, we must learn to love, that is, we must know to understand. For our love is sustainable, we must take action to protect the right to air, protect the plants and protect your loved ones.
All of us are the seeds of love. We need to develop the energy source of this wonderful, nourishing love disinterested, do not expect any in return. When we understand deeply about someone, even if it is the one who hurt us, we can not help loving him. The future Buddha, Buddha Maitreya From town, a Buddha of compassion.
compassion is the second aspect of true love, is the ability to minimize and transforming suffering. Bi To develop the mind, we need to practice mindful breathing, listening and look deeply. Compassionate voice deep correlation. When you know others suffer, you snuggled him. You try to listen as touching him pain. You deep sympathy with him and that will bring the release of pain.
One word, act or think with compassion can reduce suffering and bring joy to others. A honesty, correctness can bring confidence, comfort, relieve doubt, help avoid mistakes, mediate conflicts and open to liberation. A good action could save a life, can help people create happiness. Thoughts also have similar values because thoughts often lead to speech and action. With Bi heart, every thought, word and action we all can be a miracle. We often wonder why the Buddha always has a beautiful smile so idyllic in the world are filled with suffering. Why not be affected by the suffering? The reason is that the Buddha had enough calm, wise and understanding should not be suffering that toppled him. He can smile to suffering because he knows how to subdue it, transform it. We need to be aware of suffering, but we also need calm, lucid and strong vitality to transform situations. Charter deep ocean was not engulfed by us if we have enough compassion. This explains the smile of the Buddha.
Mind Hy is the third aspect of true love. True love always brings joy to ourselves and to the beloved. If our love does not bring joy to both, that is not true love. Some commentator explains that "Us" refers to both body and mind, while "Joy" is only related to the heart. They often cite the example that: A man was walking in the desert if they then see a stream of cool water, then they feel about Hy. When drinking water is when they feel Lac. We do not need to rush to the future; we know that everything is here, right in this moment. There are many very small thing but can bring great joy for us. For example, if we know that we have a bright eyes, we just need to open the eyes and could look at the sky, purple flowers; we can look at the trees, children playing and how many image types other amazing colors. Dwelling in mindfulness, we can come into contact with fresh green things magical and joy arises spontaneously in our mind.
Some argue that the word commentator "Mudita" means joy ie pleasure has been seeing other people happy. The significance of this may seem limiting, it split between himself and people, "Mudita" should be further understood that joy is full of peace and happiness. We are happy to see other people happy, but we also joy in the serenity of our own. Why do we only feel joy with others without feeling happy with yourself? The joy is for everyone.
The fourth element of true love is long-range (Upeksha). "Discharge" means no attachment, no attachment, no distinction. Discharge means letting go. "Upe" means "extensively" and "Ksha" mean look. "Upeksha" that look the same throughout. Just like when you climb a mountain, you can see the same throughout and comprehensive, not limited by any one side. If your love with discrimination, prejudice, it is not true love. If you have multiple children, you should love all of them. Discharge does not mean not to love, but love Equanimity is how your child get your love equally, without discrimination. Even in a conflict no matter how harsh, we still hold the attitude is not divided, can still love and understanding on both sides. We remove all discrimination is to break the boundaries between us and other than people. So long as we remain a distinction between us and we still do not have equanimity its true sense. We must put ourselves in the position of others, become one with them, will we understand him correctly. It is also a way to eliminate the selfish ego, narrow-minded.
No equanimity, our love become selfish. A bird can be very beautiful Magpies but if we confine it in a cage to own it for yourself, it was no longer beautiful bird in its natural appearance again. Our loved ones, too, like a cloud, a bird or a flower. If you shut them again, they will "die" lost. Nevertheless, many still do so. They won the freedom of people lost their love, they live only to satisfy themselves and use the other to satisfy their ambitions. This is not love; it was sabotage. You say you love him, but when you do not understand the feelings, needs and circumstances of the person he or she was just in a prison in the name of love. True love is not so. Love really help you preserve your freedom and the people you love. That is the true meaning of equanimity.
To love attain true meaning of love, it must involve Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy, Equanimity in itself. To reach the center from its true meaning, it must involve compassion, Joy and Equanimity in it. Similarly, for compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. This is the interdependence of the components of the four immeasurable. When Buddha taught the Four immeasurable teachings, He gives us a way of life really necessary, useful and important. More importantly, we must thoroughly understand and practice them very judicious in their daily lives of us. That is the best way to love and be loved, to be happy and bring happiness to yourself, for others and for all living beings.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.22/10/2015.
