Look at the emotions with impermanent eyes.

When someone says something that makes you angry and you wish them to disappear, please look with impermanent eyes. If the other person really goes away, how do you feel? Are you happy or are you crying? Practicing this understanding is very important, and this is a practical lesson:

 

" Angry in the subject 
Close your eyes to look back tomorrow 
In three hundred years again 
Where are you and me? " 

When angry, what do we usually do? We scream, and try to blame others for causing trouble, but when we see that anger with the impermanent eye, we can stop and breathe. Angry in the subject, we close our eyes and look deep. I try to look at the future, about three hundred years later. What will you do? What will I do? Where will you be and where will I be? We just need to breathe in and out, look at our future and the future of the other. We do not need to look beyond three hundred years, just look after fifty or sixty years, when we all died.

Looking at the future, one will find the other very precious. We can lose one another at any moment, we will not be angry anymore. I would like to hug him and say, " It is so wonderful that you (me or you) live here, I'm so happy. How can I get mad at you? We both will have a day to die, it is crazy to be angry while living together . " 

The reason why we are crazy enough to hurt ourselves and our friend, just because we forget that Both are impermanent. When we die, we lose everything: wealth, power, family and everything else. Freedom and peace at this moment is the most important thing we have. But when there is no awareness of impermanence, we can not be happy.

Sometimes I do not want to see the other person, when they are alive. But when he died, we wrote a very good eulogy and bought flowers. But then the dead man smelled the fragrant flowers. When we understand and remember that everything is impermanent, we can do everything for the other to be happy now, and right here. When I am angry with my companion for twenty-four hours, it is because I forgot my impermanence. 

" Angry in the subject, close your eyes to the future ... " I close my eyes is to practice how my loved one will be in a hundred years or three hundred years. When you imagine yourself and your loved one for three hundred years, you will feel happy that you and your partner are alive today. 

You open your eyes and all the fury is gone. You will hold hands and embrace the other and practice: "Breathing in, the loved one is alive, breathing out I am happy . "When you close your eyes to think of yourself and loved ones after three hundred years, you have meditated on impermanence. In absolute terms (subjectivity), anger is not present. 

Hate is also impermanent. Although we have anger at this time, but when we know it is impermanent we can make it change. Practitioners can make their indignation or opposition disappear. As with the practice of anger, we close our eyes and read, "Where will we be 300 years later?" Understanding hatred in absolute terms, it will evaporate right away.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/10/2017.
