WHY PRACTICE TO BECOME A BUDDHIST MONKS OR NUNS.

 

Why put the issue since it is not a necessity for many people? Someone on Religion in a natural, easy, thanks to the good planting many past lives; someone in agony, came to know only a monk out of suffering, but the vast majority do not see the sad life to give it, or her life at the end there's nothing worth complaining, practicing to do.

In fact, the idea from as many people fear, is to give up what you're favorite is difficult, and not promising anything bright. Good and evil are two sides of life, but good and evil are two sides of every human being. And not easy to delimit the boundary between the two Jiang, black and white can not easily decide. Every life born available dose of good and evil inside them, good is Buddha that evil is being. But what is good, and why called evil? Any action or thinking does not take the "I" as the cause and the destination, it is good, on the other hand is evil. But if there is no "I", who exist, who do good too? It's my Buddha or Buddha of children. Some people will call it "God" denotes truth, perfection, but God is given, though not get back still Minister, eat. What about Buddha even aware of the safety net is not there, is self-Buddha of Compassion. Thus, in addition to my ego that I think is true, there is another self is a life of freedom will not depart, but not dependent on, ready to present when the child does not seek to emphasize the its presence as a real truth. He is the true nature of the human ego, the true nature that is Buddhahood. Real self was not found to be suffering, insecurity, I never be content with what you have, or to be content with the world around you. Because peace can not live in peace with evil, whether it is its own evil.

Self-improvement, self does not mean missing the sunshine of my life, bury something close friend of thee, but to live fully, filled break the hard shell of a delicious fruit to enjoy form. Not afraid of the word "Tu", then I will understand how to cultivate. Everyone has once felt his very inability to face life, no matter who, they can be successful in some way, and to obtain the glory of this obscures the sad shame of failure, but this compensation is key to determining the other surface defects. Of suffering is still there even be concealed beneath the ashes of oblivion, velvet or brocade of happiness is money. Life often accept and be content with the relative, gout should be happy for them too simple, is to pass the pain and enjoy what they are. It is acquainted with evil and come to the conclusion can reconcile Compassion evil. Because evil is nothing, if not suffering? But also a way out, there is a path to where the idea of ​​evil is not, how much more will be the formation of crime. Shadow of suffering are absent here, and merely a peaceful color. Why not put your life on the road to happy to fulfill it! Path is the path. So, tu is what happy than what you are entitled to, the discipline encountered on the path is inevitable to deal with the evil nature, is the passing away of evil to appear show good. This decay is the cause, the effect that the evil contained in it should be leading subject. When the evil no longer exist, there is no life and death, no suffering, no boundaries, no longer have to close his into Thien room for resistance to evil. Compassion is a child, you are good, then what you do is not good, where the space is not good, then have to shut yourself in a certain style for doing good! It is free from evil, free from suffering, from the idea of ​​suffering, from the idea of ​​liberation was. It is free!

Therefore, practitioners are not happy to give my life to come up with religion, is from delicate happy to eternal happiness. Tu is still breathing, still look sunny old sun each morning, still the stars of the old days filled up from the heart when the night came, still the people I have met many times, still the circumstances that life has put you in it. But oh! Awareness of the child no longer as they used to be, the sun of the world only a crude picture of the sun in the morning, the children meet their own shadows, faint and weak in the face of life, before his birth and death. And life same circumstances-reverse, sad-happy past, now no longer carry the love of me, I was out of small children in the past. The old days? Must. Because of the nature, the old vision of sense to cultivate and after you go forward to become distant and strange, kept back the timeless unconscious nature of a myth, but the lack of damage. I now truly live. Please flatten barriers separating children with permanent, the traveler that each steps foot in the realm of space-time blooming lotus numerous advantages, is wild respected standing between the crowd of bear succumb how suffering sorrow. Tu is a wise decision in my life, not only the wisdom of age, ten, twenty, seventy, eighty or more ... but it is the infinite wisdom of age, beyond the limit of age, is the voice of the Buddha in the wine called on the great pilgrimage. Let's go, remember that your mirror lighted torches lit the way, every effort will be thousands of thousands of Buddha eyes look, every fall there will be thousands of thousand Bodhisattva raised arms. I'm going with my best but never alone, never alone completely.
