Why do we always maintain compliance with the thought that life is not always peaceful, quiet? A lot of people think that we can only religious practice when there are no obstacles inside and outside, that the only true practice can be done in any special training or at least retreat must go to the temple, monastery or dharma centers. In everyday life, the pressure of time, dissatisfaction with a series of family burden and work, every day, we all feel stuck, even despair. The belief that the practice means having time to contemplate the most specialized, prostration, perform simple rituals or spiritual, etc ..., the more we trust ourselves fortunate missing. I still thought to myself, "How you can become a genuine practitioner without time to practice?" However, this is an interpretation of religious practice completely unrealistic, wrong. Let's test the law since then Paramita, meaning the six perfect method include: generosity, morality, patience, diligent, meditation and wisdom - all necessary for achievement Buddhahood. Any practice which of the six methods require us to contact and interact with people. In other words, to be able to practice the three perfections Luc deeply, we need the contradictions and conflicts in the everyday life. If you just sit where Net loss and for that I am full of love and positive qualities such as altruism, tolerance, patience, it is too easy because we did not encounter any challenges. But when out of retreat, we met a lot of people in real life, people who are not nice to me, do not do what we want, we will see ourselves more clearly and begin to understand how the practice True Dharma. We can apply two basic approaches during my practice. First, we need to learn to live awake each day - this is crucial. The second is to learn how to open the soul through the practice of the perfections Luc especially generosity and patience. If our hearts closed, though many mantra recitations, performing much prostration, received many empowerments, reading many books range are also meaningless. If the practice does not help to change the right way, positively, it absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. Because or assimilate themselves with all kinds of emotions, thoughts, biases and prejudices, we There is no place for themselves in order to look at things in a vacuum properly in all circumstances. Immerse yourself in a "quagmire" that ignorance, we often have a wrong choice in most situations. Like excavations were cast, reeling between sea storm, life is the same, we must learn to keep the center between the storms of life. The best way is wide awake and open hearts to receive the present moment. So-called righteous. Tier Mahasiddhas Milarepa once said that the more experienced stormy vicissitudes of happiness and sadness, as have the opportunity to practice and attainments in life. We learn about the true meaning of the province formula. Normally, when we think you're in the present moment, in fact that's when we're interpreting the present, we are thinking about now instead of really pure in that moment. We can tell myself, "Yeah, I would righteous", we sit and think, "Yeah, I'm righteous here". But such is not the righteous, but just that we're thinking about the concept only. In moments truly righteous, even the concept of mindfulness as well not exist. The main idea is simply being aware of the direct, wide open. Because the mind is obscured and delusions layer should not currently be manifest to us. We can tell that you are awake, the wise and prudent, but in fact most of the time we behave like a machine. Press the button and see the results. Heart full of musings about the past or future, caught between the expectations with ideas, dreams, stories were embroidered, the ideas, the criticism and judgment - so so hard to let go of This deluded to just focus on what is really happening. Therefore, we need to wake himself up from his trance. The moment we reached awakening - even though it was only a brief moment - we may realize you've delusion. In the experience of awakening mind wide open, everything becomes clear. Everything changes, are metabolized. I realized that not only myself delusion that most other people are still so ignorant. Buddha, extremely practical and skilful, has opened the market with countless teachings according to the levels of Different international students to help them reach and penetrate reality. He started with the opening of the market itself - the most superficial level - by itself is experience that all of us are easily noticed. While living with relatives, the majority of the time we are not aware of it, we are totally separate from the body. So the first step is to return to your current body, for example, when I knew I was sitting sitting; I know when to stand up in, when we know they are going; I know you are lying. Just as simple as that. We can compare this as a wake. But our minds can only awake for a moment and continued confusion. Strangely the mind always wants to sleep! Therefore, we need to remind ourselves back to the present because that's about the only time we actually own. All other things are just a projection of the mind. The alternative to open heart in the present moment is to use the breath. Breath is the link between elements of body and mind. Anger, fear, happiness or any other emotion that we were shown through the breath. According to Buddhist traditions, breath is like steed while the mind is the rider. Even normal breathing is an automatic process, we can fully awake during this process. And if we can really connect with the breath, the breath melted into, not deluded about integration or connection then it means that we are really at present. Because breathing is present, it's right here, in this very moment. When you are stressed, and stress reliever is extremely skillful for shifting attention to the breath. This is especially useful when you have to wait in line or driving. When stopped at a traffic light, it can be impatient but deducing that "this is a great opportunity to practice", then you rotate your attention on the breath, the situation will change soon immediately. We will be happy to wait for this! The practiced there another level of awareness that is aware of his own mind. This is the most important level at the same time the most difficult to evidence because it is also the most subtle level. All Mahasiddhas yogis in the past have said that the essence of the practice is to always observe the mind at all times. This, of course, is the basis of the practice of mental practice. But how to keep the mind awareness, insight? A classical example is the image of a man sitting by the river watching the water is flowing. Another example is about a shepherd deft, skillful shepherding his sheep. Meditation also includes rigid manner and skillful manner. According rigidly, by meditating yogi tied his heart to keep it awake, leaving no outlet center and become mysterious urgency, stress. You can see that when meditators too strenuous cornered mind, consequently they often disturbed the energies within the body - Tibetans called it "Loong". Meanwhile, practitioners often become frustrated, want to scream. What we need is mind relaxing, sedentary. Center should be open, sharp and aware. That is completely different from dullness status (ie ignorant mind, asleep) or delusions (mind whirring, agitation). It also does not mean that everything must be thought out all the stress and constraints start to follow a certain order form. An extremely simple way, the mind should be open and clear. The only reality we have is exactly what is happening, right here and right now. If you're wandering the fantastic dreams, memories, hopes and fears, we will miss this reality and my entire life's like the sleep of chronic confusion. How can we really know who is where he will never be in reality?
