You feel guilty, read this article .VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.
There must be an appropriate way to face difficult situations without necessarily starting akusala. It is wisdom - can live in any situation without starting akusala. To gain that wisdom, we must first be mindful of the reactions of our minds in all situations. The reaction of your mind to everything we see, hear ... Look at whatever is happening in your mind without wanting it to be different, whether it is unwholesome, not desirable, not beautiful , not desirable, or greed, anger, lust, doubt, conceit; and look at whatever likes are going on in the mind without wanting to cling, cling to them, not wanting to stretch them further (whether it is stillness, peace, pleasure or awareness, insight) ...). This is very important.

| Knowing you are bad to change, not to be angry or upset |
The article is a bit long but you are happy to read it all, it is very helpful for you ... If you find it good, please share it with relatives and friends to read it! All of us, as human beings, have good states of mind and good states of mind.
Mindfulness, recognizing both states of mind is the first and most important thing to do.
We really do not control our mind at all, so it is anattā. It must be realized that you are not the creator of these unwholesome states of mind.
Understanding the nature of your mind, ie the nature of lobha, the yard (dosa), si (moha), the ego (māna), the jealousy (issā), ignoring sawn-acacia (macchariya), repenting (kukkucca), ... both mindfulness (sati), samadhi (samādhi), wisdom (paññā), mind from (mettā), mind bi (karunā) ... are more important than attaining a certain level of path or subtraction be some kind of affliction (kilesa).
First understanding; the overcoming (affliction) will happen naturally after that. So be willing to observe whatever is happening in the present. Must understand their nature first.
If you are disappointed because you are still greedy, in your mind ... then you will not be able to see things clearly because your mind is in turmoil, your mind has anger (discomfort, dissatisfaction). Look even at those.
Only when you are willing to look at your mind without guilt, don't want to do anything to it, only then can you see it clearly.
Then it will lose power to you because it has been revealed - it is clearly seen by you.
Please do not condemn greed, anger, anger ... You can learn a lot from them. You cannot grow unless you know them well. Only when you see them with a clear mind will you learn to understand their true nature, especially the nature of anatta (ānatta).
The first and most important step in meditation is not to be consistent with the phenomena of the body (rupa-rupa) of mind (nāma).
Meditation is not to overcome anything, but to overcome self-assimilation with the nama process (nāmarūpa).
Why are people upset and frustrated? Because they identify themselves with identity. Therefore, whenever your mind has greed, anger, desire, conceit or attachment ... the most important thing is to look at them as a natural phenomenon, not to look at them as something personal. me Don't try to find a way to overcome them.
Frustration is a trap of ego.
Is there anyone (attā) who is disappointed? Frustration is just a natural phenomenon. Frustration is a bulging ego. If the mind is not disappointed, if there is no assimilation in the mind of observation - that is, observing calmly, with the mind of discharge, the mind will observe the states of greed and anger ... with interest, calmness, and clear and clear as it is - just a fleeting natural phenomenon, not real and not belonging to anyone.Without assimilation, they will not be able to grow that way. A Tu-da-complete saint (sotāpanna) is still greedy and angry ... but no longer assimilates himself with identity. Only the saints A-na-jaw (anāgāmīs) and A-la-hán (arahats) will completely eliminate the greed and the pitch. But only saints A-la-Han new escape from conceit (māna).
If you are disappointed that you still like to listen to music, you are asking too much for yourself, expecting too much. But if you look at that mind and watch it calmly, only then can you see it as it is.Disappointed, upset (which is actually the center of the yard) is a close companion of the mind of greed and conceit. Because you think: I am a yogi, I should have been in my heart and should not have greed and self-arises, so you are disappointed in it.Whenever there is a greedy mind or a desire arises, tell it: stay behind so I can examine and study you. In fact, it's very interesting to study. The greed is the greatest magician. Learn and see how they create their favorite feelings. My mind has been so deceived by the mind that we cannot see it as a magician,
My mind is very fragile. He always wants to change, wants something different. It craves entertainment, craving stimulation.Boredom is a huge problem. That's what most people are doing - following stimulation in one form or another.
If we are not vigilant in observing our mind, we may be complacent because we are meditators, Buddhists, who understand the Dharma; who knows right-wrong, right-left ... that is also a conceit again.
Every time when the mind arises, please be willing to observe it, look at it carefully. Don't try to drive it away. Clear observation is very important. All the rest will take care of itself. Only when you attain Arahantship, will you be completely free from your ego.
Don't try to be humble; that will be just a humble, forced shield.Just mindfulness observes that mind of conceit. If you look at your mind clearly, you will naturally become humble. You will not feel you are trying to be modest. You become less arrogant without having to deliberately do it.
Without understanding the direct consequence of good and unwholesome mental states, you will not be able to truly appreciate the Fa.
Obedience to any method of religious practice never results in deep and lasting results.
Understanding the reactions of the mind to all contact through the six senses is very important, especially the influence of thoughts, views and opinions and attachment to them.
Do you understand your kusala (kusala) and akusala (akusala) states? I think this is the most basic thing of practice. I don't want to use good and bad words to talk about kusala (good) and akusala (unwholesome). I don't understand them by reading in books or by thinking. But understand them by seeing them directly in reality. See clearly the difference of mind quality when there are kusala cittas and when there are akusala cittas.
Sometimes I see these things clearly and understand that it is not worth having those unwholesome states in my mind regardless of the circumstances.
There must be an appropriate way to face difficult situations without necessarily starting akusala.
It is wisdom - can live in any situation without starting akusala.
To gain that wisdom, we must first be mindful of the reactions of our minds in all situations. Reaction of your mind with everything we see, hear ...
Look at whatever is going on in your mind without wanting it to be different, whether it is unwholesome, not desirable, not beautiful, not desirable, or both greed, anger, lust, lake doubt, conceit; and look at whatever likes are going on in the mind without wanting to cling, cling to them, not wanting to stretch them further (whether it is stillness, peace, pleasure or awareness, insight) ...). This is very important.
Whenever the mind wants to control the situation (reacting, obstructing or preventing what is happening, or trying to create, bring or make it last longer), the mind will lose balance.
Reaction is center pitch. Hold is sticking. But not reacting does not mean encouraging, and not holding back does not mean chasing away.
Simply watching is mindfulness. Observe without participating in what 's going on.
We are so used to doing something all the time, we have to create something that cannot be understood simply by observing.We want to control everything. We want to participate in everything. That's why we're always in trouble. I do not mean to say: do not participate, do not control because then you try to not participate, try not to control. That is actually control too. So if you find yourself trying to control, simply be aware of that.
In fact, I increasingly realized that when there is no mindfulness, life is very frivolous, very superficial and shallow. Mindfulness brings depth and meaning to life.
It is difficult to understand these things. Everyone says they want happiness. However, why can't they be interested in real mindfulness? Certainly because they think happiness is somewhere else, such as in pleasures, achieving what they want, becoming a certain character, climbing a position. Somehow, there are certain emotions, happy emotions.
People (both you and me) are looking for some passion, something that excites me (for me, that is knowledge). Sometimes we want to rest, those stimuli make us feel tired. Then we want to practice mindfulness, to keep our mind calm. Sometimes I feel really tired, feeling exhausted, because of reading, because of talking, thinking, because of the plan, the plan ... so much ... My mind turns away from all that. I see how useless they are, how useless it is. At such times, it is easy to simply mind. So I hope I keep getting exhausted like that. That feeling of exhaustion is also OK. The Prince-won-son once felt exhausted, tired of such a life when he left his family to leave home.
It is very important to adjust your body and mind to the standard, just like when you tune your car or tune into radio stations. Only when they are in good condition can they become sensitive and can capture wavelengths, vibrations and signals to receive.
Therefore, it is very important that you learn how things affect your mind and body. Food, weather, exercise, talking, reading, pleasures; all affect my body and mind. And meditation too.Meditation makes your mind more sensitive.
For those who are mind-prone to disperse, it is best to keep their mind busy recording all headings to another subject; For those who are calm and mindful, just let your mind observe any subject that comes naturally.
People like to dream; they don't want mindfulness, mindfulness of the present, because in the present there is nothing for them to dream about.
Looking through my mind and not deceiving myself, it is now the most important task for me. When I do not believe something, it is important for me to see it clearly: I am not believing, not trying to make me believe.
Our mind always wants to sink in the past or future: it only touches the present vaguely and faintly, it does not want to be in the present; always looking for things to distract me - watching TV, listening to music, listening to music, eating, talking, smoking, reading books (yes, that's right, I forgot ... even reading books and many other things. Are we really mindful? ... yes, but ... ha..ha ... No wonder why we are so shallow and frivolous.
We often use mindfulness just as a painkiller. Only when life is so painful can we find a quiet place where we meditate.
Otherwise we are very satisfied with the things that make us so distracted and forget about ourselves.
We cannot completely get out of anger. It will come when there is enough conditions for it to arise. All we can do is note the pitch that is present. If you see the fact that everyone is suffering, it will help you a lot when faced with anger.
The reaction consumes a lot of our energy. When the body is sick, just a negative thought is enough to make you exhausted.
See how you hurt yourself when you're upset and dissatisfied.There is nothing worth being upset about. Be mindful. Look at the yard just a yard, not "my yard".
Don't say you shouldn't be angry. It is very important that you be realistic. We embrace ideals, but may never achieve that ideal.But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be ideal. Which means we have to be aware of our practical capabilities. So do not be discouraged by difficulties and ups and downs. Try to be mindful as much as possible. Try your best.
I used to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed about my mistakes, embarrassed because I'm not perfect. In some cases due to the unrealistic expectation of people for me; and unaware of that, I took on the role that everyone wanted me to play. That is impossible - unrealistic; it's even dangerous; It makes me feel weak. But now I have learned to live for myself.
Be mindful, even though it is sometimes difficult. When you think it is impossible to be mindful at this time, it is the most important time to be mindful.
Whenever your mind is insecure, meditation is more important.When you think that you cannot meditate because your mind is confused, obscure - it is the most important time for you to meditate.
In the Mahasatipatthāna Sutta, the Buddha said: "Vikkhittam and cittam vikkhittam citt pajama" (when the mind is uneasy, he knows that the mind is uneasy). Doesn't require you to do more than that.
The Buddha did not say that you have to feel guilty because you have greed or anger. You just need to know what's going on.Don't deceive yourself. That's all you need to do. Be mindful, but don't torment yourself. Accepting reality and being true to yourself is the most important thing.
Just knowing how your mind is in the present is enough. If you try to do more than that, you will end up being even more dissatisfied and frustrated. Nothing can be controlled, and it is anattā.Sadosam and cittam sadosam cittam pajana. (When the mind has a pitch, he knows that the mind is having a pitch) ... pajānāti is known clearly; that's all, nothing more than that. To have a calm and peaceful mind at all times is impossible for people who are exposed to too many people every day.
I understand, reading some Dharma books or listening to some sermon tapes can make people feel guilty. Ideal too high. We cannot reach it. We do not need to feel guilty when we enjoy the pleasures of life as long as it does not harm others. Look at what the nature of these pleasures is.
Sukham and vedanam vedayamāno sukham vedanam vedayāmi pajāiāti. (When there is a feeling of contemplation, he knows that he is having a lost feeling). Where does the guilt come? Who teaches us to feel guilty when we enjoy life like that? Enough!
Even knowing that mindfulness is the best thing we can do for ourselves, but we are often misleading, distracting thoughts about this and that. We want something to excite us.
Watch your mind and see what it is doing. If you understand your mind, most of your problems will disappear, because almost all human problems are created by the mind - nothing is true outside of your mind.
The best thing you can do is be mindful, take note, or know your state of mind without blaming or advocating for yourself; don't want it to be different or run away from it; don't feel guilty or ashamed of it.
Look at the mind which is only the mind, not the "my heart".Whether it is "good" or "bad", look at it only as anattā; see that it arises because there are conditions, conditions for it arise, not itself arises. Nothing is a person, me, is mine there.Understanding negativity (kilesa) is very interesting.
Desire is the source of frustration. Just asking for yourself is enough to make the mind uneasy.
Sometimes I think, wish an ideal life: stillness, peace and happiness also make people even more disappointed (dissatisfied).
Those who live a solitary life, fleeing from the world can have a balanced mind, letting go [28] (but I'm not like that). But when you come into contact with people (for selfish people, who don't know things, those who are just used to you), you will find it very difficult to keep your mind off.
Silence of inner mind is a necessary condition to develop deep insight; it is contrary to the disturbance and insecurity. There is nothing wrong with having silence, but be wary of attachment to silence - that attachment is very dangerous. Quiet makes mind clear. It refreshes your mind and helps strengthen mindfulness.
Yoniso manasikāra (as the reason for intention, to direct the mind properly) is near-hearted (close cause, direct cause) of kusala states (kusala). Not as the idea will not have a good heart. Africa as the intention of the mind (ayoniso manasikāra) or the wrong mind-orientation is the cause of akusala (akusala) states.
We all do a job of self-obsessing every day, but most of us are not aware of it. Some of these obsessions are positive and of course some are negative. Self-marketing is very close to the attitude.
There is no substitute for mindfulness. You said: "I know my problems will disappear if I continue to practice mindfulness." We often say "if, if, if ...". What makes us say so? Why "if"? It seems that we do not want our difficulties to go away. Or suppose, we don't really believe that we can do that, so it's best to say "if". That holds hope for us. If we really do it without success, then we have no hope. So, it is better not to engage in it. Just hope. If you don't really do it, you can always say "I can do it". That's how the mind is cheating on you. To protect yourself from frustration, it never dares to do anything at all.
Why must we try to convince others to believe in us? END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY,29/6/2019.
