Refuge in the Dhamma.

 

Living in this world, one has to rely upon each other to be loving caring and sharing, comforting the sorrows of ups and downs in life. However, relying on others or external conditions that are happy just short and temporary, because everything in this world is always changing and turns destructive, nothing lasting. Only rely on the Dharma, refuge yourself truly happy peace. Before entering Nirvana, Buddha has advised the four disciples and said, "Ananda, who now or after my passing, itself is a lamp for yourself, by yourself shifting titles themselves, not rely on something else, use the Dharma as a lamp, using Dharma refuge, no one else to rely on; these persons, this Ananda, is the supreme position in the line of my monks, if he earnestly study "(the corresponding V).

Because many people do not know the happy discovery inherent in themselves, they often seek to rely on others to satisfy the craving needs. Until not be like that, people feel lonely, depressed and suffering. Still know that the external object is only temporary, illusory and often false brings bondage pain, but most people can not afford to escape living consciously desires and habits reliance. So, how much negativity surrounded keep on suffering, that man can not freely and peacefully.

Therefore, we must rely upon the Dharma to see clearly the true nature of life, and does not depend on anything other than his own false. Dharma, ie the spoken word Bhagavan true and practical for human life. Dharma is like the torch during the night, helping the practitioner clear path to advance to the horizon of peace and happiness.

Refuge in his teachings will help us understand the mind and the body are life relationship relationship inevitable, "This may because the other one has / This is not because the other is not." If parents know the lifestyle created ethical standards, the children and loved ones will be inherited, whereas children love each other in harmony, said on yield under glass, hard to do business, live peace and happiness surely grandparents, parents will be relieved and satisfied. However, the relationship was not always the case with our desire, which we transformed according to the process's coast-karmic effect created earlier.

That means you cause good people will be good, even through many obstacles, even someone interjected deprived of power use, possess, then you have inherited good results. When fully articulate this, you will calm and self in front of all event nasty incidents occur. Because of the fact that, the law always operate in the process of cause and effect self-Retribution of every sentient being predestined to meet the adaptation.

So your job is just to your soul always calm, lucid and well-being in every moment, in addition to not need to worry at all. Because of our happiness or misery depends on your attitude right in every present moment. If you contact a certain object with your favorite idea, selection, possession, then after you have lost freedom, and of course how much negativity that arises is which.

Therefore, relying on the teachings of the Buddha will help us illuminate the wisdom to remove all the misery caught in this complicated life. On the other hand the meaning of Dharma refuge, is the author of the law clearly discriminative and live fully with such vivid expression lines. That is, the operation is legal how are you getting to know the same thing without a thought of more or less caught up in them.

If you use a subjective notion, thought his awareness to impose on reality, you self nice departure from what is expressed, and of course your life will become dry as a cell separated from the body. Dharma is also the truth of life, the essence of existence and lively throughout. As the light of the sun radiate throughout the space, you just open the existing instant light, not hard work they seek no further. Realities of life do not allow you to use the language and concepts of contact subjective, but just falls all concepts are then you will feel the law is ... teaching of Buddha for as finger refers to the moon, by taking on her finger, so you can see. And so, you do not need to listen to others describe how the moon, because those words do not actually like the moon that you're watching. However, in the majority of human life often misidentify finger is the moon; idea that rely on them, we will be happy long term, no doubt where the truth is not necessarily so. Thus, returning to himself, to dwell on the present method, you gain a free, no need to avoid reality or dependent on someone else.

   In daily life, if we are not mindful awareness, the mind seek, crave and rely on other objects will easily grow. So, again Buddha advised his disciples further and said, "Ananda, here, monks reside, contemplating the body in the body, ardent, mindful, mindfulness, overcome covetousness life; Life expectancy in the shop ... shop ... shop center on center on the legal approach, enthusiasm, awareness, mindfulness, overcome covetousness life. This Ananda, such as monks themselves is a lamp for themselves, relying on their own for themselves, not rely on something else, used as lamp dharma, dharma used as seat refuge, not rely on something else "(the corresponding V). Contemplating body, feelings, mind and law or practice mindfulness Quartet with calm and lucid mind, taking refuge in the Dharma is to take refuge or yourself. When walking or sitting, you're just standing clearly aware of the happenings going on with unbiased information and honest. Needless to any such intention, by my subjective thoughts interjected only create more intricate parts. Along with this idea, the Shurangama, the Buddha said: "Tri ie ignorance is established intellectual responsibility" (see know that elaborated on what is the root of ignorance). That is, when we perceive objects that ego analysis interjected that or this and that, then this is the causes of suffering. 

According to the teachings of Bhagavan, even if we have more money, magnificent buildings and get people to pamper your little importance to strive, nor inherit blissful integrity. Because, what forms must be severed damaged over the years (the officer during market Qualities falsehoods - The Diamond Sutra), which is necessary laws. Only Dharma refuge, refuge themselves in peace where free schools never change and decay. Therefore, students need to fully articulate direction and standing issue look at ourselves to establishing a peaceful life, free from.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY,8/11/2014.
