Finishing Path V. Tu

Chapter 18

For myself

Sutra Compassion showed he knows to treat others how to love them as must-injured relatives. But experience tells us this is not right for themselves to look like.Of course I have to like our selves to others.

Because all beings who are also worried about myself first of all, so it is important that we need to know you are confronting problems are. With the presence of others around, we have the illusion you are confronted with the world around us. In fact, the key is that we are always faced with impure mind, or its purity. All these external happening around us is just a string of detonators catalyst for his actions.

The world around us can be situations, experiences or people that come into contact through the senses. One of the most sensitive senses is the mind with its ability to envisage. Unfortunately, our minds tend to fly out of my control. We often do not pay attention to the front, but think of what could be. We are afraid for the future, or to yearn for the highest good. The desire is just an illusion, fear or worry not just anywhere. Both lead to suffering, trouble. Because there is desire, so we students fear the fear circuit that my wishes will not be fulfilled. Conversely fear, should we wish -I hope that if we act wisely, the anxiety, fear will not turn into reality.Moreover, we also fear that its not enough to endure what would happen to us.

Thus ourselves feel anxious, insecure, the unpleasant feeling that we shirk in many forms such as dining, recreation, talk, sleep, read newspapers, watch TV, use any Phone- It is something within reach. If nothing was found, we become depressed or anger.

In fact all this metamorphosis (papanca) are due to the nature of the mind can not control. We let it go wandering, thinking about the future with hope and anxiety, remember the past with joy great regret, compassion, rather than focusing all attention on what is happening ahead.

Focus on the present moment, which is the meaning of mindfulness. Could hardly have been completely mindfulness because usually mind whirring. But if we are totally focused in every moment, how fleeting appearance. But just to remind ourselves to be awareness alone is not enough. We also need the support of others.Knowing accepted, appreciated know yourself as an emotional support indispensable. That is not the pushy, listing all the knowledge you have. Between the knowledge to act may spaced at a distance. But if we can assess what I did was very helpful. Nothing significant addition to our actions. Our understanding of how it does not matter, but what we actually do will bring consequences. If you need to develop their appreciation of the way, we need to remember his good deeds.

In addition, we also need to know ourselves with ourselves, otherwise we will not be satisfied with anything, anyone or anywhere. In the present circumstances, we have accepted have to cling to the 'me' this is just what Snap crowding into his teacher, but also both the vandals themselves. The most important thing is we have to be satisfied with himself, so that can recognize the fundamental good nature of mankind. This was very evident in presentation of Compassion. Beijing says that we need to know by heart and easily accepted. Kinh said fifteen conditions can bring us peace. If we can not find this in our properties, the inner peace can not be obtained.

Knowing means knowing happily content with what we have, to accept shape, manner of speaking, the way of life, their manners. That does not mean we will not have to modify for the better. But if you always wear your feelings about people, it will affect the attitude, our behavior. People have a desire to be more than what you have. Cows are those desires as this, the more we suffer less. But want to do that, we need to know what the immediate content with them, even when it's not completely like that is desired. We often have those expectations, demanded of himself and in others, the oil of which is not realistic. Because we often forget things are impermanent. All things are always changing. There are things absolutely right yesterday, then today is wrong. How to live happily in these circumstances to be difficult to accept? First, we must consider carefully the circumstances that for? Why is it hard to accept it? Where is it wrong? Does not satisfy the ego? Not what we expect reasonable? Once you understand why something is not perfect, we will see it too little, not worth the attention.

When there are things that always create suffering in us, makes us unfulfilled dream, I go to myself: "I and died, we could not beat death". Why do not always think about death? Contemplation of death will not bring to us the tragic or depressed, but it brings us closer to reality. Are we frown, annoyed when they had only ten minutes to live? If we truly lived only another ten minutes, then none of us are frustrated, annoyed. Maybe by hate, the fear was born, but why should I hate the inevitable?Why must we hate certain things will happen, because it will happen? It's one of the multitude of our ignorance so.

Consent also implies acceptance sense, owe ourselves. When everything around us seems upset, chaos, we can still go on with our inner holiness, flawless. If we do not have the basic purity within, there is no reason for us to continue to practice anymore. However, we can nurture and cultivate inner purity for further growth, and developing an awareness of it. Whenever there is trouble, fear, unsatisfactoriness or suffering because of the desire not achieve, we can go inside me, where happily reside.

We often believe that their wellbeing depends on the circumstances or certain people. How it could depend on something outside of us? If we want to be a true joy, they must depend on what is inside us. Thus we can trigger continuous wellbeing.Conversely if it depends on people or circumstances to get the joy, then we have some other slaves to them. While the path of the Buddha is the path to freedom and liberation.

Like the joy, gratitude also helps a lot for our lives. Gratitude does not need to be directed at someone or something special. Can be grateful for the karma makes our efforts are achievements, or have a pretty good body. It helps us not underestimate what we have. The more wealthy people, as seen for what they have for granted.More and more health and luck, the more I despise them. That attitude will not help us to know the joyful, satisfied. Only new gratitude brings joy.

Without the right attitude, self-satisfied, said to heart serenity, not encumbered, we will not find a home in anywhere though. The calm, warm nest is in the inner, not the outside. When you open your heart to know, to have gratitude, feel, be content with ourselves, we can find a home, whether in anywhere on Earth or in the universe.

A house is just a place with four walls wrap around. But a house is ideal to have a warm, especially when the outside world full of cold. Where the warmth from, if not from our hearts? That is where we need to create the comfort, happiness, peace elusive but we are always looking. The heart is the center. When things smoothly, we see it as something to that, but when trouble, facing difficulties, then I turned to look for help outside of us, did not know that you can only find the words award where your heart. If we have created a sustainable platform, warm, loving in the inner, then we can always rely on it.

Must rely on others to be happy, then so foolish; rely on them to be protected, it was odd carrying mask. How can we rely on them, when they themselves are going to find happiness and the protection? Only those who have found a new treasure intrinsic who have found their home. Based on the well-being, the protection of themselves, can help us to withstand all challenges and difficulties in life. No one in the world to avoid suffering, so when there is a home interior, we will know where to find the place of the stress. This tension may be mild, such as when someone requires something or when their wishes a reality we do not. Then we entered the home of his heart, where we will find the warmth, gratitude, feel and joy. By the kill away all evil idea, to just have good ideas, useful, remains positive. Contains many ideas as unclean, then our hearts shelters as stinking, polluted. Every time we destroy an evil thought, I'll have to give it more power next time, next time. In this way we have to clean the house yourself your mind. Every day we are scanning the room, scanning lane. Let's clean up our mind every day like that!

Every time I clean something -a weed garden, a kitchen, clothing it- we also remember to clean up his mind at once. When we have pure heart, sustainability, we will be filled with love for yourself, for everyone around. At that time we did not need to try to love one's neighbor; compassion has inertia because I learned to love myself. But that does not mean easy to strip himself to himself. But rather the cultivation of love for oneself, then one can easily love others.

Others also enjoy the benefits from our solidity. I am the anchor, the rock to lean on others. Because oil for nothing happened, we always tough, not wobbly.

When love, full of strong heart, then our meditation is also good and our life is change. We will feel the same as my previous life was not perfect, but now I feel more integrity, more liberated. And where the holy life is nothing more than to live a full, full.

Chapter 19

Love

B o you ever heard of loving care yet? Children will not be able to live well, without loving care, the rest of us too. When a child lacks love and care, whether there are fed with nutritious food most excellent, treated with the best drugs, can not grow up in a normal way. The relationship between humans together also implicated brutal, without love. Meditation is not an exception. Meditation can hardly develop without loving care.

First of all, we need to love their heart care. Do not let it turn into a wild cow strayed into the city, but just an instinctive action, not control how that would create chaos.Unmindful actions, though very small, is also a manifestation of the lack of love.Whenever we do not keep the commandments, even in the seemingly trivial, have also proven to be loving care does not know himself.

The world is not natural laws that are laid out. Each discipline will be put out for a purpose. The main purpose of the discipline is to help us from drowning in the trivial worries, to return to observe its interior. If we disregard a certain discipline, then elaborately our meditation practice will be interrupted. Oil is a small error in the rule, too, has proved to mind chasing us habitual disobedience, our easy to strip.That center will not develop love for others, so his meditation will also be affected.As if all the time, let the mind wandering, how can we demand it on the projector must be mindful meditation? Elaborately practice of meditation one can only produce results if we can master the mind, using the proper mind during the day, and have faith in love, cared to own meditation. When sitting down to meditate projection, in a poise, with a heart of love to all beings.

Meditation ritual in some places is before sitting down, yogis meditate bow before their projection, as well as the person sitting opposite. Polite gesture that expresses him honor and concern for the people and things around him, with all that is in my sight. We also can direct the thoughts of love, respect to your breath before you start meditating.

Mind doubt, blame, opposition, anxiety or judgment can hardly remain in meditation. Do not just sit down for meditation projection that we will be able to terminate, let go of them.

Only a single way to meditate for good is: Let suppressing secular trivial worries.Meditation is a spiritual super-Vietnam activities, can not accept the secular mind is full. When the whirring, worried about secular and forget my apprehension, and give us the pleasure, then we can not achieve super Vietnamese heart. During the day, when the secular thoughts arise, we need to contemplate whether they can ever give us the pleasure is not permanent. If the answer is no, then we can easily let them go.

Oil What do any work, we can also see it as a way to practice meditation, if we do absolutely centered mindfulness, just focus on the immediate, and let go of discrimination, judgment . I do not need to consider whether the work which needed, no matter; difficult, complicated, or boring? The only thing we need to do is focus on the task at hand, and take loving care of yourself for trying your best. For example, a cleaning job. If we can do it with caution, care little, as well as with all the other daily work, the projection seated meditation, one can also meditate with the heart of love, care little dirty. Two jobs, then what difference does this?

Our mind has stored how many lifetime habit. If we can recognize them in order to replace the bad ones, the bad ones with better, better. We can do it by feelings of love, serve others. We can remind ourselves to remember the suffering of mankind, remember the impermanence of all things. If we can always remember the teachings of this in the mind, that is, we have led the center in the right direction, helping it escape paths are old.

When meditating, if we are actually liking the new sophisticated result that, if not, we hardly have a chance to succeed. Heart suspicion, hate, or indifference, apathy, are obstructing the path we take. So you've decided to practice meditation, we need to choose the right attitude, with wisdom and compassion for yourself.

Mind childish, immature, it is like a child. It should be driven with caution. When we have not achieved our liberation desk- -Niet longer need to take care of the fragile mind, its easy to play. We should not be polluted it with anger, spoken against, hatred, anxiety, fear, or doubt; that we should accept all aspects of life, whether they are desirable or not expected. If we do not take care of thorough attention, it will stop growing, while we practice, practice is just to mind developed, mature. Adult heart does not depend on age but depending on the practice, our practice, on and off the projector meditation (how to separate the two things, okay?)

If not steep at all mind you're doing something, you are not really our best. Can not have a choice. If we just pick this thing, and ignore other things, we have created divisions. We must not choose who to love, not selected teachings to memory, or the rule to hold. Every time we opposed, ignored or neglected to someone, to something, we have hindered his meditation. To love all people, must pay attention to all the work to be done, to keep all the commandments.

If you can not concentrate on one thing slope, absolutely, the mind can only be half-hearted action. Can it withstand only twenty minutes of meditation first, that omission with forty minutes left. Maybe it's just like all the breath, and can not bear to have anyone make a sound.

A good meditation session is an encouraging, if not the motivation: "If I can live well in the days, I will meditate well tonight." Nobody knows how the mind works.Just know that it's going, just that. Mind is the only instrument that everything is possible, from the desires, the most vile act, to the highest consciousness. We need to remember how to love and accept everything that happens as part of the process of cultivation practice.

If we like breathing, I can withstand it. What we like to have the ability to make the appeal. What we do not mind, do not create excitement in me. So we can care about your breath because it's my visualization topics or specific server is interested because it sustains us when we meditate. We also need to care, to love people around us meditate, and appreciate their life. Love, care little can cause everything to bear fruit, the seeds from small to interest large results attained meditation, completely let go of the ego.

Chapter 20

Let's Make It Hard to be done

C basil is often self-limited in a lot of work by thinking that this thing, that it can not be done or our ability is limited. Especially in the spiritual realm. In fact, if we can ignore the thought of hard work can not be done, ignore the petty scruples catcher like or dislike me, the anxiety, fear, whatever we Man- how can absorb new lessons.

We really only know very little about what exists in the world. What we perceive through our senses is just a small part of the whole. The bees can see the light of the ultraviolet rays, while we do not see. The dogs can hear sounds that our ears can not receive. Those are my inferior creatures, but has surpassed our senses. And it's also just a few examples of how things can happen in the universe that we did not know about. Ignorance causes us know how your self-limiting.

We feel close to the invention of scientific progress, rather than spiritual progress.Everyone who benefit from scientific progress. Fifty years ago comes to the moon is not unrealistic, a joke. (But if the scientists do not think it can be done, they were not searching for the last research made rockets are launched to the moon). So now, not every one's life, we have seen the space explorer is natural. One thing seemed impossible came true.

The same thing can happen in the field of spirituality and meditation. No one can limit what we can achieve in meditation, to cultivate the garden or spiritual our faith.Nothing can stop us from doing anything pillar obstruction from ourselves to think that there are many insurmountable obstacles are surrounded us. But if we can change the look, dare to think about what we can accomplish, no idea can become a reality. In life, as in meditation, nothing exceeds our capabilities. We can photographic mind, go into meditation, once we were able to overcome those obstacles.

We need to accept what is there, know abandon old habits. Know as grace, said letting go is the key element of meditation helps us succeed. We relied on the breath, let go of secular thinking, the thought itself is also not true. While the truth is impermanence, suffering and non-self. All else is thinking, personal opinion. If our minds are filled with all the things I was thinking, had spoken of the day, there was nowhere for the photography center, for purity, and knowledge? If one continues to interest reporters always follow this, reviews it, then how can I catch it suddenly stopped, sat down on the projector when meditating?

Maybe we will never be able to explain. But eel placed religion fervor will guide us look to perfection. Without this fervor, we will never be able to endure the pain, discomfort in the body that continued to meditate. Do not need anyone to remind us know that there are many things still have not tastes in life. I know that there is self-purification, deep peace of mind that we have not been reached.

We need to promote the maximum attention. Need to achieve a completely different world, where all the worries of worldly life is not present. This does not mean that we must put aside all the work, duties, responsibilities or their daily activities, but we must not let them affect me. We can still continue to take care of flowers in the garden, still cooking, clothing, work. That is what needs to be done in life, we still do everyday, but keep your mind clear, not obstacles. Let the mind is not anger, questions or let loose. Kinh Dai Phuoc express the Arahat as follows: "Even in the secular life, the center of the contaminated're not. Not encumbered, not grief, always solid, it is the merit greatest ". That does not mean that we are not so interested in worldly things, but to have a liberal mind, unimpeded, we will look completely different interior with life. Get the look that requires a lot of work, because we need to have the ability to let go of everything. Can we hear the cannon, but did not think to let go of a firecracker. To do so, need to have psychic powers, a tough willpower.Therefore, we need to develop those strengths -and both earnest heart, trust in the practice of Minh- if not, we just wasting time, and my meditation is just a hope, wish.

When interpretation of the state of meditation (Jhana), the Buddha always mention pure mind. Purity is to protect and preserve the mind, creating a space for the center to develop and broaden. If unshielded to be able to develop, mature, flower bloom heart can hardly helpful.

We need to cultivate your inner, protect it like a jewel, so it does not scratch, dent. It is difficult to meditate with unclean mind, incomplete. If we do not start protecting evil mind, away from bad deeds, not necessary, then our meditation becomes easier.For the body, we try our best to protect it, so it does not get burned, beaten, injured, in pain. When the accident happened, we rush emergency, go doctor, hospital. But back to our mind is heat, scratches by ego, ego basis; so it was defiled with worldly thoughts of love, hate, anger, kisses. These thoughts pollute the purity of the mind.And as we continue to hurt it more than once -This is no exception to- scratch marks will form deep scars, difficult to heal. The scars are proof of this with all of us. Our mind is a gem, beautifully laid throughout. Making a scratch, will only bring attention to our suffering.

But only can we protect our mind. It only prevents new ideas are not molest xuot defile the purity of mind as gems. When we made the practice to get inner calm, we do not need to blame external circumstances to justify our actions. We must be self-protection, to cultivate the mind. Our mind for such a vast field, not clearing anything but a few seeds were sprouted, some scratch to create deep grooves. When we came up with the good seed, we will begin to cultivate.

Nurture and cultivate the mind requires time, patience, and determination volunteer.Without nourishing the heart, we will not progress, will always staid in a situation, would only envisage without meditation. We will continue to feel frustrated by all kinds of things, but sometimes when we look back, we see very little truth. We completely ignored, forgotten comprehensive existence, the tame of death, the enlightenment of the mind does not discriminate, and liberation from suffering is what can be done.

Mind that only focus on secular matters are trivial narrow mind, often superficial glances. We need clever mind, malleable, can accept all existence. How many lives, year after year, day after day, we have stereotyped according to the heart of the secular process -but we can not continue this forever. We are fortunate to have the full ability to fend for themselves, with the ability to work for a living. We do not need to develop this capability further. Now is the time to exercise freedom of mind, get rid of all obstacles, to lead us to peace, happiness unlimited. It should be stressed here is letting go. When everyone thought, other delusions were letting go, wisdom will arise, the peace will be filled with my heart.

The sorrow, suffering, lamentation are defilements. There is no reason to be in the situation. When Buddha was about Nirvana, Ananda, his attendant, was only achieved through the Tu-momentum-completion, attainment is the lowest of the four projections save. Ananda did not hide the suffering. While the brotherhood, all have attained Arhat, just sat quietly, accept things will happen. Buddha called Ananda came, and asked him: "Why do I weep? I cry for the old body, this star should be discarded?" Master Ananda replied: "I cry for the loss a teacher, who has dedicated show us the path to take". Buddha replied, "I showed everything I need to do to achieve liberation. Nothing had any questions. I just need to practice diligently."

Buddha wants to preach one thing that we do not need to worry about their choice.We often waste time to find out a way to practice the best. That led to the debate, debate, doubt, as leaders are supposed to charge capacity can be used for a spiritually useful.

If we sit down with the heart of a meditation pillow small child, we'll be able to easily forget the outside world over. Sometimes for as long as these things can not be done, we need to have the confidence of a child. Children believe in Santa Claus, in the fairytale, to the tiny creatures, in all things seem impossible. That we need to have confidence when meditation. We need to avoid suspicion, avoid finding reasonable answers, avoid pretending to be wise. The only true wisdom significantly new, and that it can only come from an immaculate heart. Actually, nothing important to have in mind. If something is important, we can write down to remember, finished then go back to the breath, the mind on the present moment.

When we can begin to meditate with completely open mind, not governed by the outside world, with the confidence that we can do that, then our mind will also respond in a positive way such. From there, one can step into the world of empathy, mindfulness; can develop the skills necessary for the spiritual life. Furthermore, we need to fully believe in their own pure heart, without the need to ask ourselves tormented or expected excesses.

Sometimes one can doubt the ability of the self, of those around us, as our teacher, the teachings or spiritual way. In the unconscious, as if a voice said: "I can do better". If so, then by all means do it better. Be confident and appreciate the efforts of their own.

Meditation may be the best thing that has happened to us, but we must have own efforts. Buddha's teachings go into corners of the human soul a profound way;ordinary mind can hardly grasp all the meaning of Dharma. Unless my mind is becoming ultra Vietnam through meditation, perhaps never fully understand the Buddha's Dhamma. Normal heart has no depth, not enough flexibility, liberal to accept that wisdom Vietnamese.

Absolutely can enter meditation is the cure to take us to the purpose of the Enlightenment. If wandering mind, can not be head-on where it is difficult to attain enlightenment. Tam will continue to be governed, u padded, hampered by the challenges. When we can control the center at any time as you want, only then will we be able to promote the ultimate all its capabilities. Only then is much suffering, impermanence, falls have become an inner reality.

Unless every reaction, every obstacle has been eradicated from the heart, then there is room for new discoveries, new perceptions formed in the mind. Understanding our Dharma hindered by the barriers created by ourselves. Meditation helps us to break down those barriers, open up new horizons for us, deepening our awareness. We also believe in things like child can not do, and trust in childhood Enlightenment already present in our minds.

Chapter 21

let Conditioner

A. To be able to fully towards the spiritual path, leisurely step on the path to self-confidence, we must know letting go. Letting go does not require that casinos have to wear brown, hair to be shaved. It just means we need to let go of all hope, every dream that we seek the mind, cling, cling. Tam never satisfied with what it is. It always wants more. When not be like that, it's self-delusion drawing, and live in that illusory world. But the mind will never be happy, an order in real, if not know letting go. Let go, get rid of craving attention is primarily Buddhist definition. We need to realize clearly, explicitly, there is not necessarily much better. Will no longer stops when wanted more. As always we have to search further. In contrast there is little desire for more will also see that we have enough time, saw stops.

Try to ask why we have to meditate in a quiet location and ignore how many opportunities, pleasures that life can give? We can travel, take on important responsibilities, meet, get acquainted with soul, writing letters or reading, pursuing the fun somewhere, really comfortable, or pursuing a more spiritual path. When we meditate without any results, we again start thought: "What am I doing here? Practicing like this really does not benefit me? I could not charity, be sure that I have find another practice. " It is true that this meretricious world promised us many things, but never carried out that promise. All of us have ever run chase the charm of life, but nothing really giving us perfect happiness. Full satisfaction of absolute peace -a totally feel full of hard inadequate- be found in this life. Nothing in this life can completely satisfy the ambition of being. Money, material, lovers, all of us can not bring peace there. Yet when we also hope: Maybe I'll find something more pleasant, someone cuter and all will be new, more beautiful.

We need to recognize clearly that the mind, just as one of the five aggregates. Based of the mind is the brain, as well as the basis of eye color. When touched with bare attention, it arises the idea, but we believe in the idea that, for they are his. We take very seriously your thoughts. Protect them as protection treasure, oil that we never bring happiness to us. We only bring illusions, anxiety and doubt. Sometimes they give me grief, but also makes us more depressed when incalculable.

When doubts arise mind, if we follow, we can make us give up the path. While the only way to experience that peace, happiness that spirituality can bring to us, is to take practicing, must renounce the hope, expectation to the point where we no longer see anything deprivation, no need to fill. For real tasty piece of cake, it does not have to eat. Desire something without realization is a misconception.

Expect to find satisfaction outside of us is a wrong view: "I pray to be with wisdom, understanding, be loving, sympathetic. I pray to be enlightened." But we will not get anything beyond the teachings, the way of learning. Ourselves every day to practice, to remain pure results. We can not pick up the slack for the shortcomings, our failures with the expectation that something new will happen? That would be where that out? From Buddha? Or French? Or increase our teacher? Or from meditation, from the classics?

But here, what we're talking about, not to get anything else but to get rid of the obstacles. What we need to get rid of first? Maybe that's my chaotic mind. The mind is always whispering to us about the unthinkable, difficult to achieve. But once we have heard, we are more likely to believe in them. Perhaps the best way to control them, do not put confidence in them, write them down as paper. When I saw them in black ink on white paper, we will recognize them it is impossible. Our mind is always capable of writing out this story to other stories, not always stop off. So let go, get rid of the problem is the key. Give up. Let go.

Letting go also means accepting that the secular way of life is not the way out, we need to find another method. Instead of making our lives more severe than desire, we should refrain from taking the bridge. (If I did not change my life, but I want to put more new ones, then how can we improve the situation?) Reduced libido means accepting that the old way of thinking we do not bring what results. But only continual suffering. Sometimes I think: "I suffer like this is because he (she)" or "Maybe because of the weather". But when the weather has changed, who create obstacles for himself was gone, but misery remains intact. So we had to pour for a different reason. Rather than spend the time in vain like that, we need to become more flexible, more open to actually review the main cause of all suffering, but not to all of the bonds, the paranoia of heart led. Pure at heart have sometimes filled defilements, so we need to know how to control it. Once we have begun to advocate, for mental explanation, it is very difficult to accept a different direction. We should not think that I should have added something new can become a perfect human. On the contrary we need to kill the mortgage segment. Then I will become a person completely.

Beings always take the bridge: "I should be sympathetic, be grateful, be loving, be praised". Or "I need to buy this, the other thing to own, have tasted the other stuff."And desire is still suffering. Since this present life on earth, there is always where we stop demanding. Oil never willingly do your agreement, we persevered chasing them. However, if you give up desires, gradually we will find the peace. Let go disapproval both in the thoughts and opinions of the individuals themselves. Do not cling to his people that his claims to be, man has formed in the process of confirming their ego: "It's all right. Look. I'm still normal." Well, can we still normal, life is still going well, but once that happiness, absolute peace still missing, still missing something. When we assert that we still normal, which apparently underground hide something. If not, we did not talk like that ever.

When sitting down to meditate projector, we also need to let go, otherwise we could hardly have been fruitless. We have to completely forget her, to just know he was doing it to have any satisfactory results. Unable to doubts arise hearts that do not know anything better, more rewarding than not. If I had not devoted, laboring, then our meditation becomes heavy. Devoted, laboring mean that we give up entirely of time, love and effort into it without hesitation, limited. Otherwise we can only make work. Doc also interested in meditation means that we only knew of meditation, which ignore thoughts like meditation method, or the teachers, the books have to say about meditation. All these things must be put aside, then we can completely sunk in meditation. Doing so, we will feel confident in, only knew that the present moment, and just know what you need insight in mind. When there is a profound attention to how deep are arising, and suffering can end.

But not only devoted, laboring in meditation, but also in the daily activities, while others care, while focused on the job you are doing. There's everything we do will to be accomplished. But to be able to be like photographic mind, we need to know to let go of your ego. While still worry about the ego, the mind can not fully ramp into something else. The absolute slope like edit non-soluble in water can also have this distinction. Ego can not be dissolved in meditation; it always clear-cut separation.

We also need to let go of thoughts like happiness can find where to live life how spiritual, how to meditate, the Sorcerer level to act, speak, behave like brain.Mindfulness is knowing without judgment. I once heard a Thai monk, because of the limitations of language, has said: 'Just know, just know', at first I did not understand what he meant, until I came to know that he would say fully mindful of. "Just know," implies a letting go, acceptance. Conversely clinging to thoughts, notions, their opinion only create obstacles.

Nothing can be achieved, without the wholehearted, omniscient. There must be understanding and compassion. There will be no meditation, without the presence of both heart and mind. We can meditation and months of this year, but no avail. Ready to move resolutely letting the mind before meditation. Without the ego would hinder my meditation. It will ngọa shifted exclaimed: 'I know more. There are many other ways to meditate. "Or complained:" I do not feel comfortable, not sure how this religious right. I feel uncomfortable too. "

If one can not let go of desires, destroy obstacles break every time they meditate forever spiritual path will only be a mystery to us. All this leads us to the Buddha only one direction-that is to cleanse their thoughts down. Want to be there, we need to always modify itself little by little.

Letting go means that letting go of those thoughts, let go of the mind is lifted up, narcissism, always said to her understanding. Does anyone know who knew where?All these thoughts just hang around, start up, and then kill. Letting go is not an outside our practice. It really is a change of mind, we need to practice. Without it, there would be no meditation.

Chapter 22

Clean the Mind

M Ot of the things we find most difficult to do, whether to say it sounds very easy, which is to love yourself. Most of us find that you have many very 'difficult to trade'.Ironically It is easy to recognize that personality in others, makes them feel uncomfortable, difficult to accept, leading to dissatisfaction with life. Do not accept this calculation, the other disabilities of others, do not benefit, which only makes us more frustrating, uncomfortable inside. This kind of sentiment the only harmful to us. Just make the connection between us and the bad people go -would never bring us happiness or mindfulness.

But the best deal is not going to find new friends, or hide her feelings, which is to change the way of thinking, our view of others. Buddha called the Master of the beings can degrees, can be recovered. The most difficult thing is to surrender our ego. Unknown person initiates, will not notice they are always expressing what they like or dislike. They always listen to the opinions of their mortgage without known anything else. Others, could know all about his ego, but can not do anything because they have not the transition through the mind. Although they know a lot about the nature not tamed -The inter tuc- instinctive reaction they can not control them. Then there are those who know themselves started editing. So one should not judge other people subjectively, as the human personality rigid, can not be changed. All beings, except the Arhat level, are guilty, but all are also able to convert, if they are sincere.So for others, we need to see if they want to modify it or not, even those who do not want to modify, then do not pay any attention to them.

It is required, in which one can expect negative judgments about ourselves as well as with others. We do not expect people to be perfectly fine, smart, handsome, rich, pure, holy, but we require our ego to be tough, perfect, lasting. That is why beings want to accumulate material wealth. As more and more possessions, the more we think in particular, as if that property and the existing one. But what we really seek is peace, not fear, therefore, while not achieve the purpose, was born afflictions.

In addition we also find satisfaction when serving to form men and women, mothers, sons, as yogis, or intelligent, honorable, handsome, and so on and so forth. Whether we are constantly looking for confidence, others can not support us, because they did not know really what we want. And because the others can not support, accept me, a wish, we can not wait to be satisfied. Therefore, one born of frustration, and the more we find it hard to accept myself more.

Furthermore, I also longed to become a more worthy, more holy man his present. To hope that the future depends on, so it can not currently feasible, as well as an opportunity to step into the mind of defilements. In short whatever purposes only reinforces my ego, will not be achieved, as they face this minute, minutes gone. So, instead of being happy, peaceful, we just reap the fear, anxiety -Number not getting what you want, anxiety, find ways to achieve the desired.

When we were accepted into the shaft of the five aggregates, sensation, perception, and the SAT + SBT we also suffer. However, there are five aggregates of form, still exists. All other generals serving as owner, be honorable or something, just an illusion, almost formless. Therefore, those suffering because they bring us more deeply than the five aggregates. The more we cling to them, without realizing it, the more difficult to train the mind to know love. Because clinging, bigotry creates separation, judgment, divide, impede heart

petal, open. Without love, detachment, the more we suffer, unwise -a heart that loves and a wise head often go together. When we also enable physicians, do not accept yourself and others, then we also see suffering. I know how difficult is pure peace.

Purity, peace is not the absence of crazy. Health really is not the absence of illness.Purity is the inner state of wholeness, there is no room for ego, desires, or anxious, fear not achieve what we want, when we place ourselves shifting office. Buddhist guide us to let go, the path to openness non-participating, non-compliance, not ownership.

Pure mind is not naturally have. Must practice, practice newly acquired sophisticated. We are born to carry the seeds of greed, but also no shortage of quality seeds, benevolent. We should endeavor to cultivate the good seed, dig out the bad seeds. Efforts can not be ignored any moment.

When there is kindness, we will see the benefit of others as well as their own interests. If at any time we also know there is only 'me' and 'mine', then the train to open compassion, even more important, because when the mind is narrow, filled, then we also wild place carry, dark. Heart and mind are not two independent agencies (in Pali, both called  Citta ). If not quit practicing both, fear that we have missed an important part of the teachings of the Buddha. Pure sensations help us more lucid mind. We also need the purification of the emotional ego, wanting to get in, but do not want to give up, give up the defilements in killing us.

Difficult to accept, to love others just as difficult to accept, to love yourself. But love itself does not mean that self-esteem, feel more human, or paranoid arrogant about his abilities. Actually it is a sentiment of compassion, affection mother love her child. "As the mother unmanaged network itself loving, protecting her child, her only child ... ', as the Buddha taught in the Compassion. If we can promote the love that for ourselves, we can also replicate to those around you, and loving feelings will arise in us. When that both spiritual and everyday life, located in a flow. When we monitored the changes in the interest not only with the eyes of understanding of their birth and death, but also willing to take a little, deep focus, we can reduce the defilements, his sin. be thus, we will remove obstacles on the way of their convent.

We need to take more or less give up the bridge, clinging. Since desire is the root of suffering. So if we really want to reduce suffering, we should know how to control appetite. Spiritual path is the path of inner effort; Not only is the projector to sit down to meditate. Spiritual journey really begins only when one can sense what is arises within, and can let go of them.

Often we can easily recognize the dynamics of human action rather than by themselves. However, what we see in others only a reflection
of the projector itself, otherwise how can we understand the meaning of what we observe. Therefore, instead of blaming, hate others, we know what to do: Treat others as their own mirror. If we can get to know what happens to other people it's because we've gone through that experience.

Happiness and peace synonymous. But happiness and pleasure are opposites.Sensual only happen in a moment, due to the momentary-contact brings, while happiness or peace is a state of being. If the mind does not have peace, we will not feel happy. So we need to find out why your inner self is not in. I have the desire to anything, without duoa! plum? Why do not these hopes into reality? What cling to self and in others? It was feared lost anything? Is it because we always polishing his ego door, but no one favor? There can not be peace and happiness in the heart of the above status.

Without intuition about this connection, we can not modify anything. Intuition which can only be obtained by introspective, ie sati, or mindfulness. A brief word including roads, leadership and results. Mindful that rules on inner straight, with acumen of the microscope, not by superficial attention that I usually have for other things. The truth is revealed clearly evident that sometimes make us suffer, because what we discover can not lay at all beautiful; we suffer because of his own judgment, because we can not accept a certain aspect of yourself. Without practice to be purified, we also have to suffer pain beyond.

In the teachings of the Buddha made it clear negativity, defilements is the nature of beings, but also being able to practice, practice to be purified. But want to be on the path of purification, we need consistent reconsider his desire. Write them down on the paper, to wonder whether you really do not need them. Maybe I need to be loved, admired, obliging; may we need intelligence, enlightenment or just slightly pure.Then, ask yourself further: How we can find inner peace? When we write down his experiences, then shop at them, sure that we will realize the purity, peace is the result of the abandonment of desire.

This does not mean that we can immediately give up all desire, attachment, but it does mean you can start letting go the path of transformation. When the desire to emerge, contemplate it, smile and then it will disappear, and instead the generous heart will arise in us. When the mind is no longer full of desire, we can fill the heart with love.

Love is a generous heart. We can not do anything for love, in addition to the original play them to people. When the desire for ease, the love, generosity growth. We need to remember that true love does not depend on other people's cute. If I love a man just because he kind to us, the kind of love which is just another form of egotism.Love is characteristic of the heart that does not depend on the character of the beloved.

Letting go -no chap- can help us to love yourself and others more easily, take us to the peace and liberation. Desire, on the contrary, because we must always make searching, chasing constantly, so just make up my mind war. No desire, not born of fear for not achieving or not keep getting what you want. The mind will not trigger anxiety, so I can stand right in the present moment.

If the inner calm of the soul is the purpose of our lives, it is the way of letting go -no possible to choose other options. Let's rid our minds of the attachment, ego, aspiring, and replacing it with generosity, the compassion of the door will be opened. If we do not do that, then compassion will forever only hope, a desire never achievements.

Buddha never forced anyone to follow his teachings, but let's just practical advice according to his instructions in order that the teaching certificate. It is the method of the Buddha: clear, frank and how much has been believed in the past centuries.

We were not the apparatus, and the human brain is not a computer full of logic. Our mind has the affection that we intimately with them. When I was listening to the teachings of the Buddha, I feel agitated mind. From deep, oil they are not the result itself, we also understand that it is the truth. END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/11/2016.
