AVERSION AND THE VIRTUE OF PATIENCE.

I  remember Read the following story about the life of Buddha by the guru Osho told in a lecture about his habit of reaction of the people:

A  day the Buddha was preaching, the people come and spit in his face, He wiped his face and asked: "Anything else? He had nothing to say not? "He was shocked because I could not have imagined that someone like  that, being spat at his calm and still asked "Anything else?. He did not ever experience that. Often people were verbally boiled and curse back. Or if you are a coward, or weak, he will smile and begged. But Buddha is different. He does not, angry, do not feel insulted, but also no coward. But he asked softly, "Anything else?" That is not a response.

But  His disciples are mad fits. They react. Disciples of He is Ananda said, "The man was rude, and we take all floating it. We do not want to disregard the teaching of the Master again, and we I want to teach him a lesson is not to do whatever he wants. He should be punished. Otherwise anybody can do that that. "

Buddha said, "Do not say anymore. Where he has insulted us! But I have insulted us. It's remote, perfect strangers. He must be heard  goofy on our people that, "I am an atheist, a risk Insurance poisoned human mind, a name reactionary immorality. "  Maybe so new he has no good ideas about it. He did not spit in the face  us, but he spit on the idea, spit in his idea of ​​me because  Was he aware of where we should back he can spit in it is? "

"If  for technical thinking, "Buddha said," then he spit in the minds of him. I do not partake in it, and it was found that human worth Trade was also wanted to say more, because there is a way to say - spit is a way to say something. There are times when we feel inappropriate language  - Such as in love, the anger, the hatred, while praying.  There are moments in which hot powerless language. At that time only  new action adaptation. When our loved him madly kissing, or hugging  lover, you're doing? I want to say something. When angry, the anger  crazy, we fight, we spit in the face of others. I want to say something  through our actions. I do understand him. Maybe he also wanted to say more so we asked, "Anything else?"

The surprise was not over yet the Buddha told his disciples that, "I am angry with you more. The people  aware of it, had been with us for many years and still react like that. "

Background  troubled and puzzled, he came back, tossing all night. When met a Buddha, you are very hard to sleep as before. He agonized about sex. He does not understand what had happened. He was trembling sweat  profusely. He never met a strange way; he crisis, the spirit turned upside down all smooth.

The next morning he  back and knelt down at the foot of the Buddha. He asked him, "Do what to say not. He said what could not speak the language. When he knelt at his feet to say things that ordinary language  can not describe, what language are very poor; he did not can say what he meant. " The Buddha told Ananda back, "Ananda. He is coming. He was more emotional. He says nothing but says it all. "

Buddha looked at him and said, "Please forgive me. Please forgive things I did yesterday. "

Germany  Buddha said, "Pardon? But it is not who he spit in the face yesterday. How much is the Ganges water has passed through; it is not Ganges River yesterday. Each person is a river. Whom he had pulled face no more. I look like him, but we have been different; much has happened in twenty four hours! Many of the water has bridge. I can not forgive him because we did not resent what he all. "

"And he was a newcomer. We can see that he not the people who came here yesterday, because he was very angry.  He spit in my face. And then he knelt feet. Why he can as he is! He was not the person. What people forget di.Hai that - people who spit and spit - both gone. Come up close wire. Let's talk about something else. "(1)

The story is over for me it was interesting and made me think a lot. I've told us about for the family and friends heard of these when  chronic talks about life because this story has shown me some things really  is significant:

The first is through dialogue between the Buddha and  the other man, he has outlined for him the character of impermanence and active life: "How much is the Ganges water has passed through; it Ganga is not yesterday. Each person is a river .. more  happened in the past twenty four hours! "

The second one is whether religious, but if the people unenlightened whether or college student  Buddha's disciple Ananda is still as full of anger and habits reaction.

The last thing is for the same incident, "a strange man spat at Buddha while he was preaching, "I that there are two markedly different attitude:

One side is the disciple of Buddha, among them Ananda, a disciple of His. They "rampage crazy. " This is the reaction of the majority of which we often hear tell  or click items in everyday life.

One side of the Buddha. He was very calm before insulting actions of the man other. He listened with compassion. He immediately requested Ananada "Do not talk anymore" because he does not feel other strange man insulted him.  On the contrary he "realized that people also want to say pitiful more. " He said, "I do understand him. Maybe he wants more to say  again so we asked, "Was there anything else". The attitude of the Buddha, how to act  His treatment of the great master Osho is responsive rather than reactive. (2)

The  result? As a result the man was "embarrassed", have "sleepless both night ". He had been "tortured" because small thing in the face of the Buddha. He was "Crisis" to the "spirit turned upside down all smooth." Finally, the "light Next, he returned to the Buddha and precious feet "and asked forgiveness.  So he touched the other man.

Conversely, suppose try if to wear to the Ananda Buddha and his disciples according to the reaction  consequences is immense. The stranger may be other assault and bi casualties, and those of relatives or friends he will be operating retaliation revenge and so piled as is usually constant occurs between individuals, group, race, nationality, race, and currency further damage among religions from ancient times until now! It has the name beautiful things, the fine words as "medium, piety, love, meaning, etc." to pursue the "feud", the "feuds of a thousand generations" so "Bring down the pure love hate radio calming wisdom" because hatred never cease all.

Great Master Osho explains that the attitude of the disciples of the Buddha is a response to "habits of the past", "the mind".

In contrast  again, the response will depend on experience or habit of exceeding past that depending on the sensitivity of the present. "Response is totally  alive in every moment, the here and now. "(3)

Response is no longer the attitude of the ego, is our calm, compassionate and profound patience.

In everyday life, he said to meet the Buddha, a perfect level, omniscient. pronouns, compassion, asked how much!

When  insulted or see someone you loved, respected and insulted, the  people respond so mad and angry as the disciples of the Buddha from the past  far more endless.

If you trace the origin of the reaction visceral anger in the experience of Buddhism, we see an angry reaction anger that is due out. (4)

According to him, in the organ Nina Van Gorkum  Law (University Products - Mahavagga X. 349) Buddha taught the bhikkhus is: "do not calm the hatred is hatred. Here and at any time, no new hatred is hatred calm down: this is the eternal law " (5)

Anguttara Nikaya (France seven chi, Chapter 6, Business No. 10) indicated that when the Bhikkhu lecture on the consequences of anger, the Buddha gave the following example:

There are people who anger that would his enemies "sleep" or "loss of sleep loss," then "... such people away anger, hatred is conquered, dominated by anger, and though he is on bed mattress soft warm blankets, fully equipped eat and sleep but he is awake in pain suffering abuse by anger. "(6)
When talking about the effects of the anger, the work practice of the Bodhisattva in the record a few sentences:

How much good merit
Accumulated in a thousand lifetimes
As alms, offerings to the Buddhas
It all dissipated in a fit of rage (7)

He Chandrakirti (Vietnamese translates as Raw Match) when explaining the consequences of anger and said:

When you stand with the French court of the Buddha
As you destroy in seconds
All virtues accumulated over a hundred lifetimes.
So there is no sin worse than impatience (8)

In  book, "The Way to Freedom" (Career Path to Deliverance), Dalai Lama about why we should not anger and hatred:

"When  someone to harm you, you should not anger and revenge, but please tri that the person is not self-brakes on the hearts of them. That person did not for doing so intentionally because that is affected by the situation itself that negative  only. Originally the chief court if that person is instant and harm you because  he kept phiien controlled by the brain. You should develop mindfulness sympathy and compassion instead of anger. The simplest thing is, if the who has been institutionalized for their love, they never brake harm you because they reach for what is only happiness. " (9)

Dalai Lama also stressed that "The general round will be no peace for the court created election news has caused no bad air around you. Wrath and anger burned judgment of you; instead of a return favor virtue, you end depression and even consciousness even revenge. If filled with filled inner rage and anger,  even with the abundance of material, would have none of you will also be happy How happy because you are constantly being emotionally tormented. Perceive this,  you do your best to cultivate patience and try to leave hatred and mind hate. "(10)

Knowing why this anger out, aware of the disastrous consequences of anger, but how do I eliminate hatred?

Follow  He Khantipa Bikkhu `lo," One of the sensitive nature of the Airports see the hate, not love. But with practice, he can  change the unhealthy characteristics to the acumen see the sense in Buddhism. " In addition, "the kind of base nature dominated by Train, though difficult nature of the base, must also play virtue peaceful development. ".

He stressed that Khantipa'lo Bikkhu attention to others and treat very important habitat important in the development of peaceful virtues. "... Living in a place where people does not arouse anger ... eventually he will learn patience  ring and from the air. "

He advised, "meditation on the virtues of  Buddha ", especially patience will help people with anger and  Dramatic nature have gradually reduced Tennis Center, Tennis nature while developing ethics  gently in the practice time (11).

Meditation or meditation specified, the Dalai Lama Dat, is "dedicated to the psychological state agreed  scene for good. " Meditation practice also is a way to talk consciousness of normal, scattered and difficult for human processing of mind can be controlled and managed to the extent possible mediator improved targeting any particular scene of their choice. Want to have meditation  effective, meditation meditators have a systematic way. - a sitting judge  meditation and breathing the right way - under the direction of the meditation professor or an experienced meditator. At inception, the practice of meditation customary to start by meditating with their coordinates and short courses in increased gradually depending on the ability of each person. (12)

Thich  Nhat Hanh, author of "Anger" is because the proposal published in 2004 chemical approaches to anger, anger by listening to the file are  anger with compassion, mindfulness practice breathing (inhaling retreat still, breathing out smiling), attention to eating problems (no eating enough, less  meat for which he is brought foods high in anger), and In Mindfulness file (I will respect life, not killing student network ...; the compassion vow to learn the joy of life and bring peace to  people, all species ..; I will abstain from sexual misconduct .. not sleeping with the who are not husband and wife or a child ..; children enroll in Actions language and listen to bestow happiness to people and ease suffering of ...; I vow not to drink alcohol, use of drugs, not eating or consuming the poisonous products of which factors  some products radio, television, books, movies and stories  game ...) (13)

Books on Zen and meditation in Vietnamese  Language is sold at most bookstores Vietnamese-men. Among these are  book "Sen Dolls Each wing it" Nhat Hanh's a simple document allergic, including useful ": the last meditation guiding the metabolism and treatment ". (14)

Section discusses the anger and hatred, in this writer will talk about some patience.

When  talk about patience, the Dalai Lama explained that "patience is a status of patient restraint in the face of the sanctions harm  of others. "Resist and afflictions before the harm, humiliation of another is the first patient that we can train.  The second type of patient "voluntarily assumed the yoke of suffering and victims" and third type of patience "patiently enduring any hardship when religious commitment the solution of the Buddha. "(15)

According to the Venerable Master Hua (Venerable Master Hua), the Chinese are "the most important French subjects of legal practice is patience. " He said that the forerunner of the Buddha  Contempt is usually Bodhisattva, a specialize Bodhisattva cultivate patience. To honor them as people because of the "Buddha will come", he having everyone bow. Some people do not like the Lord had kicked in his face that His two front teeth broken. Beaten so that he is no hatred,  which continues to stand far from bowing to practice patience three perfections. (16).

The ancients used to say "A fast, nine healing." This is like the two following verses:

Rings engraved blade, quiet rooms, static
The most rotten of marine definitely not natural.
(Ie: a second ring, wind waves im quiet.
Take a step back, sun in the ocean.) (17)

In  visit to France in 1993, when teaching about religion and human happiness, the Dalai Lama has emphasized that: "In life  this life we ​​will have enemies, the people who really want or are  harm us. But the basic essence of Buddhism, especially Buddhism Mahayana, the kindness, compassion and bodhicitta, the mind of the sensory realization. So if the anger and hatred arise in us, the strength of spirit of compassion and enlightenment, we must have sufficient capacity to resist  them. So patience is a virtue of necessity that every Buddhist should must have. No patience can not practice the Bodhisattva. "(18)

Germany  Dalai Lama is not a theoretical down. Not only He always promoted and praised the practice of patience and fine violence, which he also persistence and patience to apply the  legal violence in particular, his life is present, although exile, he still led the movement for human liberation Tibetans from slavery in China's non-violent method  follow His example Mathatma Gandhi of India.

He believes that "Compassion,  blowing exhaust, hope and patience are the good feelings that all religious  major teaching strives to promote and consolidate. "(19)


Postscript:

Courtyard  or anger is a defilement of the three origins of life. Reduction or kill the Tennis Center, Tennis nature or at least go down the side angry response when listening to things that are not "pros atrium" would help us reduce least the trouble and increase your chances of living more fun.

Forbearance or  patience in the meantime a Paramita - Giving, Precepts, patience, Effort, Meditation and Wisdom - in the process of Bodhisattva practice.

Thread  Financial anger and virtue of patience if the ultimate discussion also need plenty of hours and meticulous. This short article so inevitable shortcomings.

Said  easy but it is always difficult. If you do not practice what they  learn no matter how much you know more is just useless.


Finally, a few verses lend well to finish this article:Smooth things over
Difficult to discharge only angry
If results are not angry
It is a gem
Hate people who do not know
The work very well
Sorrow never born
Where to get fateful create?
Often only a very responsible person
