The Simple Way And The Middle Way That The Enlightened One Teaches?VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH. Traditionally, the Eightfold Path refers to the eight factors of path such as: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, etc. But the True Eightfold Path within us is: Two eyes, two ears, two lips, one tongue and one body. . These eight doors are the whole Tao (Path); The human mind goes on that path. Knowing these doors and observing them, all dharmas will arise. The essence of Tao is very simple, there is no need to explain at length: Give up love and hate, be indifferent to everything that happens. That is the main goal of meditation. Don't try to be anything. Don't jump into anything. Also don't be a meditator. Don't expect enlightenment. When you sit, sit. When you go, go. Holding nothing and not resisting anything. There are, of course, dozens of ways of Meditation and many methods of Vipassana. But it all comes back to the place: Let things be. Escape from the battlefield, set foot in a cool and safe place. Why not try it out? Do you dare? Middle Way The Buddha does not want us to take a double path. On one side is craving, infatuation, and on the other side is fear, jealousy. He teaches us to be alert to all pleasures. Anger, fear, and discontent are not the way of the yogi. That is the path of the secular. The peaceful person walks on the Middle Way, putting away craving to the left, and putting aside fear and jealousy to the right. Those who want to practice must follow the Middle Way: not leaning towards pleasure or pain, but just putting them down. But of course, it was a bit difficult at first. We are kicked to the side: sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right like the pendulum of a clock. When the Buddha gave his first sermon, he mentioned two extremes, because that is where craving resides. Craving and happiness kick to one side, pain and dissatisfaction kick to the other side. Both are always annoying and painful. But when walking on the Middle Way, you put both down. If you follow these two extremes, you will lose all patience and will be thrown out when attachment or aversion attracts you. How long have you been trapped like this? Consider: If you like something, you will follow it when love arises and of course it will only draw you in search of pain. The mind of attachment is wise and skillful. Where will it take you then? The Buddha taught us to give up all extremes. That is the true path of practice, leading to the place of liberation from samsara. There is no pleasure and pain on this path, nor good and evil, good and bad. Alas! Humans are full of lust, just looking for pleasure, refusing to walk on the path of the Great Enlightened One, the path for those who seek the truth. Clinging to happiness and suffering, good and bad, cannot walk on the Middle Way, cannot become a wise person, cannot be liberated. Our path is very straight, quiet and mindful; whether sorrow or excitement arises, it remains calm. If your mind is like that, you don't need to ask anyone to guide you. You will find that, when the mind is free of attachment, it stays in its normal state. When it is stirred by thought and feeling, the process of forming thought takes place and illusion takes place. Learn to see this process. When the mind is agitated, no longer in its normal state, it will move out of proper practice to one of the extremes of passion and jealousy, from which it creates more illusions, more more thought. If you continue to observe the mind, doing just that for the rest of your life, I guarantee you will never get bored.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.12/9/2021.
