HEART SCAN.

 A  day, a Buddhist monk cried found outside the entrance to monasteries Jetvana Vihara. A crowd of people watching the amusement of the monks and sarcasm on ignorance. Indeed this position slowly and knit, his name is Ksudrapanthaka. Knowing him straight, Buddhist underestimated me and asked a situation I: "Why I cried so miserably?"

"White  Buddha! The slow learner. I had left home with his children and his children for teaching me a verse on the day before. Because you can not remember the verse, he told me I hopeless practice. He told me to come home and chase me away. That is why make you cry. I pray from the Buddha's help!

Hearing this, the Buddha calmly advise: "Do not worry, come here! Who find themselves stupid it really is very clever. The man who thought I was smart. "

Right  when just returned, Buddha taught Ananda Ksudrapanthaka specified. Not long after then, Ananda said to the Buddha taught is no way. So own Buddha he alone. Buddha says he learned the sentence "Dusting and cleaning dirty ".  Even the hard thick, he can not remember that question. People think that he utterly hopeless, except Buddha, who never denied any species How charming.

Buddha told sudrapanthaka: "The time  now, the work of the broom is to sweep the house, and type of clothing and dust  shoes for the other monks. When done, just read and reread that sentence. "

Follow  teachings of the Buddha, sudrapanthaka ready to serve the other monks, even he oil to embarrass people. But Buddha to remind people every let him do it, at the discretion of the Buddha. Gradually, all sympathy Ksudrapanthaka as he scanned the house, and they help you remember saying. Work dedicated, Me Ksudrapanthaka ended questions "Sweep dust and dirt". And finally, his comprehension of the meaning of the sentence. He thought that:

"I  Dust and dirt can look from different sides. One inside, one side outside. Dust and dirt outside including ash and sand, then it is easy to clean, also dust and dirt inside of greed, anger, ignorance is the unclean shall  requires new insight rid of. "

Since then, the wisdom of sudrapanthaka increasingly bright. What he did not previously understand it is now clear. He further thought: "The heart  part of man is dust and dirt. The smart way dispose of greed if not definitive because greed can never be picked off. The heart  Join evoked causes cloudiness and taken to the disaster center. No it is no longer a slave but was freed. Only then, the mind is sound  new filter and clarify the truth. "

When  meditation, Ksudrapanthaka deposition of mind from the effects of three drugs toxic. Meditation brings peace state, without the slightest spark of love or hate, good or bad. I shell out of ignorance, and the mind has problems opening hours ago.

Ksudrapanthaka joyful enlightenment before Buddha, respectfully said: "O Buddha! The enlightened, and I swept the dust and dirt out of them. "

Buddha happily expressed his previous comment about people: "How  so a person can benefit if treatment is not of much economic significance which they were attached and practice? A person can learn a verse and good practice can ensure the path of liberation. Let's look at Ksudrapanthaka as an example! "

Ksudrapanthaka  became famous and respectable increase of Jetvana Vihara. He no lifestyle changes, and still the daily scan while reading the sentence: "Scan dust and dirt."

Germany  He always taught in a practical way to achieve the best results. He never give up disciples. According to him, like slow learners seriously ill children. Just be patient and persevering, they will likely progress. Germany Buddha was indeed a noble educator and mentor of the world's all beings.

The above is translated from the original post Sweeping the Mind, Taken from Buddhist Stories (The story of the Buddha), on the website  Buddhist Education Foundation (UK). (British Institute of Buddhist Education). 

In  these lectures, Venerable Thanh Tu He also narrated Ksudrapanthaka the name Chau-Loi-table-Features (Suddhipanthaka). He made Join the Buddha, but which renders the implant base, the Buddha taught two words Tao WisdomHe learned in school again, the two words, would mean Buddha. Buddha explained: "Wisdom is a broom, algae is scanned. I use a broom to clean intellectual afflictions own mind where to go".  Starting that day, he take care to follow his teachings. Maturity examining self-care, clarify which defilement defilements, to eliminate the notion bad, keep the heart pure. He was enlightened!

Have  reasonable conditions he was good to meet the Buddha, early determination the Buddha, the Buddha taught, the continents to live in harmony with environment increase them, oil frugal monophonic, still persistent, invisible energy self-fertile minutes, finally found the path to enlightenment? So, in our time Today, a person with not too radical monophonic, not only that, even  wise, so many things in heaven and on earth, whether the Buddha any way? We can learn not only of the words "Scan dust and dirt" or "Algae property" that  the many economic, read many books, of many rituals, but what we deficiency, but lack th decision, the practice is very hard to live the economic, the mentality is scanned. The meditators, improve intellectual capital high intelligence, are virtues of Buddhism, as he was meditating Ksudrapanthaka, becoming the torches illuminating the path to wisdom drainage of the Buddha. You can get a vivid example today, the the West: Matthieu Ricard (1).

Think how that pain itself accordingly

 How is his defense, how to achieve peace? - "I use a broom to clean intellectual afflictions own mind where to go",  Buddha taught that, for him Ksudrapanthaka, for everyone,  with wonderful teachings are true liberation.
