Being human, no one can ever make a mistake. There is a sentence: "Each time a fall is a rash / Who should not be fooled sometimes. The bitterness of error sometimes does not lie in physical damage, but in mental pressure when criticized.
It is possible that the peace of mind that receives the criticism is the result of deep cultivation. Being able to bow to errors and correct mistakes is a great progress on the path of spiritual nurture, the maverick of self. The Buddha for those who have been assaulted, injured and reacted negatively because of the criticisms like "evil horses" are difficult to subdue. There are 8 types of people like that:
First Class: Classes when friends are taught only wrong mistakes to say, "I do not remember, I do not remember!" Like a vicious tin proboscis and whip to the butt, still not to go.
Second place : When being pointed, stand silent, neither accept nor deny, like the horse standing on the back of the car does not go.
Third place : When being blamed, he asked back to his fault: "Brother just as I dare to point to my fault?", Like the evil horse, fell to the ground, scratched his knees, broke the car .
Fourth class : The type of person responding by blowing up the person just saying: "You fool, you have to ask the teacher how dare to teach me face!", Like the horse backed off reckless next.
Fifth grade : The talker drove into another story, with hatred resentment, who reminded himself. As the evil horse ran into the dangerous road, causing the car to crack the wheel.
In the sixth class : Those who are not afraid of sin, do not bore them up, do not let anyone just fault, take away. Like the evil horse, no matter what, and with the whip, with the tin, the uncontrollable.
Seventh : Reaction upside down, he stood between the large congregation gestured say: "Who allowed wise guys teach me!". As the horse upside down his legs and foam.
Eighth grade : The most fierce, said bee: "Do you give me medicine, the medicine does not dare to correct me?" Unfinished yet angry, also discharged, dumped y on the road, raised his face asked them increased: "I have been discontinued, some people just satisfied?" This class is like a horse lying in the middle of the road .
When I read this, I asked myself which of the eight species of horse? And I found in my mind that all eight horses were evil. Whenever criticized and humiliated, my heart was fluttering with resentment, the words of justification, the cynical words, each time a different.
Following the noble virtues of the ancients, I tried to restrain those wicked thoughts and keep silent, as the driver tried to tie the reins so that the fierce horse could not hold back. However, I discovered that I was only able to do the surface, and in my mind was still uncomfortable, is like the second-class horse: "When the error, stand silent, neither accept nor deny , like the horse standing on the back of the car does not go.
Finally, it is due to the arrogant mind not to throw down, the attachment to the self, not to let others touch you, should cause suffering in the spirit.
To attain inner peace, can humbly accept the error when criticized, the only way to dress the evil horse in his heart, taming it, is the process of eliminating the nature of himself. This process in the Confucian called "tu tu", after the body can be "to join", "national rule", "lower body". In the Taoist called "backward compassion", return to his original pure, pure nature. The story of four teachers Tang Tang to West Trúc invited the Buddhist scriptures, Sun Wukong along the way non-stop except love killing monsters, is the metaphor of the process of cultivation, this mind shop.
The evil horses still lurk in our hearts everyday, do you have any intention of submitting to them? END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/7/2018.
