Discharge mind. Practitioners must practice letting go, letting go of everything. The reason why the silkworm becomes a butterfly flies here and there, because it has left the cocoon, even though it is a cocoon of golden silk, warm, beautiful, and incredibly smooth. The way of looking deeply with the heart of Compassion, Joy, and equanimity "Releasing" is the heart to let go of everything for all sentient beings, regardless of enemies and relatives. Equanimity is giving, giving up, not grasping, not keeping in mind. Equanimity is to see rightly, to judge rightly, to reason impartially, ie neither hate nor attachment; neither liked nor displeased. The opposite of "equanimity" is "obstinate". Noble people always keep their mind calm in the face of contempt, slander, and curses. In the midst of the ups and downs of that world, the Buddha taught us to always be calm, practice equanimity, firm as a rock standing in the sky, as steady as an elephant, as a tiger. For example, the wind blows across the net without being caught in the net. Even though we live in the middle of a human market, we are not attached to the illusory and impermanent pleasures of life. Like a lotus flower rising from the mud and murky water, we too have transcended so many worldly charms to live clean, pure, always calm and happy. Letting go is the cause of joy, that is, if we want to be happy with others, if we want to make people happy, we must first not accept, we must let go of the wrong things, the disadvantageous things that others have done for us. Letting go is the cause of joy, that is, if we want to be happy with others, if we want to make people happy, we must first not accept, we must let go of the wrong things, the disadvantageous things that others have done for us. Buddhism is a path of compassion. The direct enemy of equanimity is "craving" and the indirect enemy of equanimity is "indifference". Equanimity shuns craving and discontent. The attitude of dispassion, equanimity, and serenity is an important characteristic of equanimity. A person with equanimity is neither delighted in pleasure nor resentful in affliction. A person with equanimity treats sinners and saints equally. The Buddha always praised and encouraged his disciples to practice equanimity. Discharge has four things. If you give people things, possessions of the time are called "characteristics". If you bring the Dharma and teachings to people of the time, it is called "dhamma of equanimity". If you bring the virtue of fearlessness to people, it is called "fearless discharge". And let go of all afflictions by yourself, called "discharge afflictions". A bhikkhu has a bad habit of picking up mistakes of others to criticize. The Buddha said, “If someone points out the faults of others and teaches them how to correct them, it is not a reprehensible evil deed. On the other hand, if there is someone who is always criticizing the mistakes of others with malicious intent to slander, then such people will never attain enlightenment but only defilements will grow in them": "If we see people's faults, My heart is angry, and it is easy to quickly increase afflictions, Leave peace, dwell in sorrow, People's faults do not care for long. Some novice monks did not know, so they followed a venerable Arahant because of his short and small body. When he learned that the holy monk had a gentle disposition, never got angry, his face was always calm and undisturbed, the Buddha taught that the Arahants keep themselves always calm in the face of praise or blame. : "Which wind shakes the high rocky mountains And the wise are like those mountains The worldly voice praises and criticizes Praises, slanders, It's not easy to be moved." Joy and Equanimity are two good actions, closely related, making cause and effect for each other. Artist Hoai Linh: Buddhism teaches me to bring compassion and equanimity to everyone At the invitation of a Brahmin, the Buddha and his disciples came to spend the summer in his village, but the he was sometimes left alone, not cared for, because this benefactor forgot, moreover the local villagers at that time were suffering from a severe famine. They sometimes have to feed their horses with rice, but no one is sad because of that, still diligently practicing. When they returned to Ky Vien vihara, they were provided with good food, but they did not show excessive satisfaction because of that. The Buddha noted that a wise person is above all ordinary emotions, never being impulsive, never letting his spirit down, always calm before everything happens: "Good people are always separated from all pleasures and are ignored, Wise people meet joy and sorrow Whether full of happiness, or full of suffering, Never wavering before and after The spirit is always steady, how can I be happy." A female believer wanted to invite five elderly bhikkhus to her son's house. But the vihara sent five young novices to her house to eat, so she was unhappy, showed no respect and did not offer food at the right time, causing the novices to starve. She later realized the virtues of the novices, although they were not warmly received, they did not show any displeasure. When he heard the story, the Buddha taught: "Being friendly and sincere Between enemies near and far, Showing goodwill and gentleness With people who are really aggressive, No longer attached to the king. obstinately bound around, Brahmins are worthy of the name. “A king was disappointed and sad because he had been defeated three times. He could not defeat the enemy who was the nephew who called him uncle. That nephew was King A Xa The. The defeated king gave up eating and drinking, and continued to lie on the bed forever. The Buddha taught that if you want to be happy, don't be greedy for victory or defeat. “Winners create more hatred. And those who lose the battle must suffer phantom pain." Peaceful living is the best attitude: “When the victory is glorious, Animosity abounds. Unfortunately! When the defeat is bitter, the heart is filled with suffering! It's better to win or lose, and it doesn't matter. Life is peaceful, extremely peaceful." Practitioners must practice letting go, letting go of everything. Let's review the vows of Compassion, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity of Maitreya Maitreya and Equanimity are two good actions, closely related, causing cause and effect for each other. Equanimity is the cause for joy, that is, wanting to be happy with people, wanting to do. for the happy, First of all, we must not accept, we must let go of the wrong things, the disadvantageous things that other people have done to us. In the stories of "Buddha's predecessors" we see that he once gave up his life to save sentient beings. When he became a Bodhisattva in the Tusita heaven, he gave up all the joys of heaven and was born to save the world. Before, when he was still a prince about to be crowned king, he abandoned all temples, palaces, jewels and ivory, beautiful wife, wise children, high authority and high position, but left alone to practice austerity. Practitioners must practice letting go, letting go of everything. The reason why the silkworm becomes a butterfly flies here and there, because it has left the cocoon, even though it is a cocoon of golden silk, warm, beautiful, and incredibly smooth. But discharging but still sad and regretful for what we have left, such discharge is not useful. Equanimity must go hand in hand with joy.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).PHAP NHAN VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST TEMPLE.GOLDEN ZEN BUDDHIST MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY=19/6/2023.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
