Practice The Four Immeasurable Heart-

Lesson 7: Practicing Metta-Six person class should not think of.

.

We should know the benefits of mosaic rings and saw the dangers of anger. In this stage the new six-man practice should not be thought of.
1/categories of us.
2/the man we love
3/the Class we had
4/the Class is the enemy
5/other affiliations
6, a person who has died.
Why do for someone who has died, we could not work from this period. As between the dead we have a gap too large. Proverbs are the "distant by neighbors near" "the basin". For example the friend what you need, we can get to help five days seven days. But relatives in Vietnam when the whole month, send a gift goes well no time. Why is that? People close to us who have better people in far away, so far from the basin, more troubling is this world to another world. So think of the deceased during the khôngcó stage to practice.

The first step in practicing Metta, should we charge from to?
-To itself.
From myself spread to beings?
-By thinking that she wants happiness, the beings would like to happiness. Her fear of suffering, being also afraid. I don't want a whitewash, being also does not want a whitewash. So from there we create sympathy, sympathy that we have. So very important understanding. Do you think when we fatigue, others say something to its irritated Buddha, then other yolngu. When something is needed the encouragement of others, then others will also need encouragement. Who says her back saying that her inadvertently overhearing, she sad. So when you say behind someone else then they are also sad. Something you do not want others to give, do not give it to others.

Should read from the show knows, from personal experience, we catch the bridge sympathize with his life, and as such provide loving eyes looking at his life, is by this definition.
"Think of humanity by his remarks."
It's very natural. Everyone is afraid, everyone is afraid, everyone is fearing a crime then we also likewise.

To say that should not be sprayed from Center for another faction does not mean that we do not have the word early in practice do not consider. That period could be a day for two days and three days to go from full growth in the us. That principle is the only cautions. You can charge from to anyone, including other factions if users that gives us the feeling very serene, very normal. Italy says another mission here, is when we think of the person that has the mind to stick with, then we should not think.

Even as he spoke to a person that we had, as a neighbor, for example, we do not hurt and no hate, people close to us. So we have to be sprayed from the Center if from the idea that we can foster. As she settled in next to it, we're not sticking with her but Metta Memorial people think, "Asia, when she saw the Monks about, Mrs. Baker also carried through." So I run are good with her. The initial sympathy story also developed.

So the six categories we should avoid here is talking up a conservative. Watch out if you think of the people that that develop, develop anger or make us tired, you should avoid. But if feels practiced ease, also unharmed, not backing off.

Question: authentic Buddhist women who joined?
In fact the original Buddhist women who joined. Slightly long lines for a while but need to explain here. At the time of the Buddha is in the complete renunciation life adapting to external circumstances. Means monks do not cook in the pagoda, the Monks not to take food of stay, Monks do not store money. The life of the Monks to eat, wear, in, hospital, all of which is very casual. The informal is not thinking of what to eat tomorrow. Tomorrow carry the average Bowl goes to the neighbors, that eat it, eat out for birds, for other people, for the students, absolutely no thought to tomorrow. What about the problem, if it rains, then in lieu of the Cup due to the Buddhist religious consecration, there is usually under a tree, taking the shades. No need to purchase or take the temple as it is now. Both Rose and Ni are living that life.

When a woman would come in the Dhamma, Buddha Himself had made the conditions for your safety for women,
1/the Bhikkhu not pretentious traveling Nuns alone that must go.
2/the temple located in the temple to the Ni Increase for the organic, the Monks run through help.
3/the importance of Ni in collaboration with the Ministry of supervision on the Increase because the Ni tend to be real with each other. This is not a singularity but indeed common, any sex, Nuns so need the third component outside the is Falling to help stabilize.

A short summary is important today that we have mentioned. It was Metta developments, one of the important conditions that we have to live with a heart not anger. Here is the emphasis on the disservice of anger, which had an implied very worthwhile for us all to keep in mind is that for most people the amendment itself is harmful to themselves more than to bring her precious blessings. The more a person going into his inner consciousness, is raising the anger problems in life, we just make yourself get yourself only. Sometimes sadness-one what is because we don't see that do anger makes us old lick, lick, make us not knowing the most fun that we don't consciously thought anger was brought up has made us lose a lot of benefits.

Let's read the 40, then we will have a few explanations. Then go through the 41, two sections are closely related to each other.
"When anger problems for the hostility has to canoe, can spread from the Center to the people, as well as to a loved one, someone very dear and who had. And practitioners should break the barriers preventing equal to the mental workout from always, achievements count equal to four, meaning themselves, some relatives who had and enemies. "

It makes sense that a person is enough to crush his pitch to defuse that person can charge from to relatives who had and enemies. To achieve this he needs to break the barrier, i.e. the fence for us to tell the difference between this one and the other. Buddhism calls that attitude is the attitude of equality.In Western society today says a lot about equality, building a democratic society but the Buddha Himself insisting that the equality is true or not, it is in one's mind.

Let's read verse 41 to clearly see an argument,
"The nature of equality is as follows. Assuming the's (i.e. the Bhikkhu practice being pretentious) are sitting in a place where other along with a loved one, a person stops, and a man who, with the then four.
Then the bandits to the pretentious Proportions,
-"White Represents Germany us a pretentious Bhikkhu"
When asked,
-"What to do?"
They answered,
-"To cut the neck blood make international holiday spirit".
At the time if the author thinks, "Let's take this person or this person or other person". Like the never leave the containment barrier. But if he thought, "let them bring me, don't bring other people" will not break containment barriers. Why? Because the same looking shortchanging when want to let it go and just seek an OK for others. So, just when the then thought not seeing someone in person for four bandits carried away, when he hứong his mind is equal to itself as well as to the other three, he broke the barrier. "

This very delicately. There are two delicate points. When we practice, it means that we come to a very tough test. For example we have four people on a ship, the pirates to claim a catch in four people there, myself being one and three. If you thought that "let this person or person or other person is caught away", so the fence between four people remain. This point is also easy to understand.

But there is a further point is that people often praise the sacrifice, think for example the four men he thought, "let them catch your self go, the other three don't touch". Here cũg that is missing from the Center for yourself. A person with a mind from piecemeal, would find that the four men had no person should go. That call was Metta. This is a very subtle.

So when practicing Metta, people understand a principle very strange for the General morality of the people. We understand that in certain circumstances, free myself unlucky fullness, fullness of harm that is the mind. But Metta practice when so that all beings are equal, including myself and others. Must be from to itself.

Paragraph 43 "At the same time with the break down barriers preventing access to General and administrative, and run up to that time. But after the break the barrier prevents reached results, it would have to win the way that section kasina ground difficult due to work, practice, make the fullness as Prime Minister.
In this privileged practitioners point site, abandoned five factors, there are five elements, in three aspects there are ten characteristics and the friendship with words. And when this is achieved by meditation practice work done for the fullness of Prime Minister's Prime sequence, the second meditation, meditation, meditation in four systems and the second, third, fourth in meditation meditation. "

This passage is very concentrated when we heard totally confusing, because this is related to engineering practice. Said a very short, a prime witness heading meditation mind from a person sees all beings, including ourselves absolutely equally in the desires of the practitioners, who achieved the first meditation known as a meditation. "It was a meditation from the elements and there are five elements". Give the elements is taking, anger, sadness, dượi relatives and secluded team skeptical. DAC is a prime factor is five years spent meditating, Foursome, Hy, and. This section is very professional.

For example, like the writing here is Written Commentaries. When you read articles commentaries is you see these four letters. But to read the four letters that you have to do a lot of work, you should see the letters K-i-n-g and the letter in Word, and then the V-ă-n into the Word document. then the Van into the two pieced letters, sentences. To read the letter so TAM that we have some of the machines are doing essentially is acknowledging the letter Assembly together and then assembled into words, which is five more games, four, Hy, peanuts. After this opportunity we will go deeper.
This is a very special description of a meditation of Metta.

We read to the 44
"Now, with the start of meditation from beginning meditation, which the pretentious Bhikkhu 's" An enjoyable turn a stay with the same goes with the second method, so a third vehicle, also the fourth, top, bottom, and four sides, and around the world. The man who made the stay safe with her sentences with words, chan contains lofty, boundless, not hate, not the brain. " Because of this extensive personality only arises where a person who has elected to a meditation and meditation.

Paragraph 45, "with the words: with there words. A any direction in which the practitioners to see one being the first, and (metta) spread to those beings consists in it. Turning complacent: touch to make the subject of the day. Residence : birth place (four facilities in a dread) for the offense. "

Usually we concept that Metta is immeasurable, we do plenty to around ten eight direction but in the plenty it must have taken. We can not take any direction once every eight to ten are methods that we just headed for a certain direction only. Buddhism calls it to or the concentration of thought. For example, we went into a hearing aid them the day after, we have to start up from a person just like with everyone. We see people dressed in "West" we think to choquý are an evolutionary healing with the mind were very cool. You will naturally see that Metta in around everyone.

A person who has sufficient mind from going into a crowd, they saw a natural state of mind from the inside, to that person. When you see a person who resides in the crowd naturally you have good experience with that person and goodwill that had gone wide to all those around them. It's called the rhythm of the heart. A person practicing Metta to a degree of fullness, such people when seeing a crowd that stood up from the Center with a person they have with everyone. This experience you can see when you are in the same direction or his friends, or the people of the same race for his skin color. For example, in a foreign country does not have many long, long ago we met a group of Vietnamese people in seven people, naturally we have sympathy, sympathy be cover, be extended.

In fact the practice? The practice is that we take advantage of the natural characteristics of the mentality that we spread our love and peace in it. We achievement in meditation and mind from.
However, have you read paragraph 46 to 48 segments in order to find the meaning of this articles details,
"Four sides? The four sides: is the middleman. So practitioners for fullness from spread to all directions, like a horse in the race. Until this point, the cast was Metta specify each direction separately. "

The first stage is the same as horses in racetracks, it runs the first run the other end but it runs in one world. When you study or do the schools, for example, you cook quite well know flavoring, then you would love to cook for the ingenious, as your smoothly to be applied in all the dishes. You make many such dishes do? To enjoy your own ones.The early stages when we had was Metta's cool and then we take care from there goes everything khẳp, every field of life. What to do? In order for it to be developed in several different directions.

As legal cases have lacked the courage to speak in front of the crowd. As the experience of our selves, then early on in the temple, we would have the size when it comes to a good thing, because living in the House parents are difficult. When the new sa-di, even the y or were lost, each time the Buddhists invited to the dinner, there were afraid not to eat rice is then that losing any medical pull up and pull down, sweat is compacted. When chanting, do not trade in many articles by post must be, litigation is less, should describe when Buddhists invited dinner as we were starving because eating less to remove excess food to his fingertips. If the front is rice with vegetables, only eat rice with vegetables and not dare eating something else. We have sizes and afraid to so. Our teacher is the Primary sense of the shaman, usually in the temple Monks studied Buddhism arrive Tuesday to the monks to teach the Dharma for Buddhists. But before that to do a job it is to teach the Dharma to monks in the temple. For example, the three-level teaching experience, which runs back to level one. We do not know the life says, "most demons, second ma, the third of the pupils". But in the u.s. the pagoda is so much. When you see the young teachers as they filmed everything. Luck is when classroom activities often have 15 or 16 notes, teaching riết and familiar. When the familiar and not, the Primary Sense as boys, or meet the Buddhists also getting us anywhere, said. What to do? To accustom yourself to the Basic, there would then have to bring out put it in many different conditions. Like the horses in the race to run the place and having to jump over obstacles, walk through the Rapids, go over the falls.

A person practicing Metta, originally thought to ourselves, and to the relatives, and then to the enemies, and then to the users, who are close to the people to do? To the heart from being developed, we đốí with people very equal. This point is hard to imagine, especially for people with very sensitive feelings. Once developed the mind from a full, where you feel comfortable. Now why is that? Because where we also have only one purpose is to let other people be at peace. They do the King, too, they do bum too, they are so rich, they were poor, too, we have no reason to be afraid with them before. Since we do not wish anything where they are, that we only have very real city hearts, yearn for them to be at peace, so we are not afraid. Have you thought of a reunited State, when you came to someone to ask that person a certain grace, in your nature? Unnatural because we desire that person something. Or when to meet someone you love, to the person paying attention to yourself, you are also very thrilled. But if you are to everyone in mind from Ireland, who are also the same, the oil that people young and old, big baby, pretty bad, being cowardly, poverty. In why? Since we have nothing to desire it.

The old man is telling a story. In one village there was a wealthy man and a poor House. He was very wealthy, he is poor but the meagre but highly esteem. In the village who met wealthy and obsequious superiors. But his own special poor House. A wealthy people when they are in the position of others are respected without having such a conversation.
Once he invited him to wealthy poor House to eat and tell him,
"Living life should know in the village is the gìau there, so when I saw what he was but he was based in, would not be considered"
He said the new poverty,
"He was rich because of his money and he enjoys. I have been somewhat out of it where I had to bowed closing cringe before him. "
He experienced abdominal restaurants think that "Make in because he thinks its not an exam for so ổng not available" should say,
-' Okay I will give money and gave him half a fortune to his wealth by me. As such he developed me? "
He was poor,
-"Of course not, I'm rich in Britain and the British developed reproduction"
He becomes wealthy Lam said.
-"If I give him his possessions, richer than me he had developed?"
He is the answer to poverty,
-"At that time he developed me anyway so I left his tremendous"
That's not saying her Unicorn but mean in this life time we feel the most sensitive, the most thrilling feeling afraid, not least because we think there is something that we are, lost, by. A man from Ireland live also. The Buddha for the Kings, too, for General loot, too, for someone who is rich, too, and for a poor cũg. The Buddha does not wish in one what he wishes for everyone to be at peace. This is very important.

So one of the most useful of the practice from that we can live in this life not as hero but also not a person it's wise that we live one's life very self in. Because he did not want more than one, and you also do not need to luỵ. People in the life of feeling in the lower inland, feeling afraid, feel anxious is because over lost in them too badly.

The Buddha has said, People would breathe in breathe out naturally they live peacefully. As well as sitting here you breathe, you expect a long breath, short breath control. Do you think the slightest breathing will see the Buddhas, the slightest rabbit will see aura you wouldn't naturally with her breath. But from time to time we see breathe just breathe, you feel normal, not yearn anything. Also have you met anyone around you, don't ever think you are taking advantage of people that do not have scenes with them that yearn to all gnười are all at peace. The oil you have one, too, met a commoner, too, all are the same. We never expect and that's what's important in life. Do not be unsympathetic but also do not bridge the next life. When we pray next to the life that is making our hearts become weak representative of fascinating beauty. We have to believe that, in every blessed is blessed, then. Are we not to edit out the bow of us avoid, nor the US invocation we are blessed. In life each person has blessed and we are confident in themselves over the precious blessings. Live with the life care center of words and only words alone, that is the moral of a upasaka. Do you understand the word "four" is any aspect of the life of East, South, West, North, on, under, four directions where we are comfortable. Here is look like horses in the race, going to go back and forth freely and where would also calm.

"Same all over the world": only the man from unlimited. Equality: as for all lower, middle, upper, friend, enemy, users etc. as with ourselves. Or also with all his soul (original: sabbattàya: with all his hard, myself) doesn't put a little remnants that do not instill by Metta.

Paragraph 48, " Made with care from; be reset here are here to lead, means the following:
generous, etc. Or it is reset because no two, "in the same way" as in the case of the complacency of previous orientation. Or reset to make the conclusion. Chan, spill out of the turn. High: only about aspects, from an exercise but Metta sharp turns to menopause. Immeasurable: do the familiar (menopausal fluctuations) and by taking loads of beings as objects. Don't Hate because abandoning malevolence and anger, not brain is due to quit lamenting suffering.

Here they explain the turns with a very special interpretation, turns complacent here mean the same all over. All the same as for under your mind from, for people who have. We humans used to live with the hero. In fact the guys under his authority or impoverished people than ourselves we usually have from AI is easy, but for the people themselves, richer, more beautiful, higher than the US does not have. That's a disadvantage for yourself, since we also have the envious. A person who is from, that person does not see what's the difference between the lower and the higher ones, because we desire peace for them. Should say that both means for Christian schools of heaven and to the hell beings, we also have the mood to them at peace are the same. Immeasurable is the familiar and take loads of beings as objects. Data from is called the immeasurable from no limit. Not limited to people of the same home with her, who along with himself, who along with his nation, people of the same color, the same race with yourself. If no such distinction is immeasurable. Anger is not a waiver of malevolence. No brain no lamenting suffering.

In Buddhism the word referring to the letter, the word bothers, brain. Golf news was the against the Italian upset brother. Trouble is we like to sidestep what we don't like. The brain in đâylà it comes to the suffering of rức. When what you see the sadness but enough to seep into the consciousness makes it annoying rức ray himself called the brain. The amendment should avoid such things as practice.This generous personality to succeed with a person who has elected to this vast personality, says the Patisambhida is well succeeds where a person was elected. Here means a person reaches this status, a person was elected. When we presented this point is not to have you think about meditation, which we apply in daily life is the best part of it. From large part good part.

A person cannot say that they love their homeland, if they don't love the fellow. A person cannot say they love but don't know what fellow wounded neighbors. Because of the near and the far. So if you don't have the mind from all beings, we also don't mind from those around her. Pierce said that from with animals with Chu, who far from being near. If you go the temple which has the mind from all Buddhist temple is also pretty high too. Therefore, we do not need the mind from all the new beings known as progress from the relative extent also called progress. So we should encourage yourself to yourself and go as far, as wide as possible.

Question: after testifying himself might be back?
In fact certified State of meditation. The practice just like we go to school, teacher credentials like us out with a degree. Which means that in a given moment, we have reached such a high knowledge. However that does not mean that knowledge exists forever. If meditation is not what the amendment meant to see Anwar, but the level of that little place just when one down. If not than it is at that stage. In fact, because when that stage is reached, and then the people particularly happy. Usually when that happy or keeping attention than they do for disintegrates passing. In the less refers to this worry, for student teachers usually rarely worried the retreat weekend. The ticket only mentor a student reaches that status, and then satisfy, does not go beyond mữa. It's something ominous. Usually we learn that a certain qualifications and jobs and then we stop there do not want to study more, because money was going to do. Likewise, when a person reaches this status, they may feel at peace does not go further.

We noticed that the man's illness, if something is to arrive to the place very easy to satisfy. Don't worry that they'll lose out that fears are they indulge constantly in there. So the old man says the spirit of learning, the more important amendment is anxious to keep what you gain because when you have or hold it more than to give it away. But a normal one, and then they didn't go further, they fully satisfy. The answer is that it probably will be turned off permanently, rather than taking a longer, the result is eradicate impurities certified leaders, results are not back yet Dak can meditation will come back.

Question: How do I choose a religion?
In fact you should know one thing humans are rarely selected in the religion. He was born in a Muslim country, then according to Islam, born in a Catholic country, the Church, the Buddhist country engenders, according to Buddhism. Therefore, the choice of religion is what one very earnestly for some time that they favored. There are religious people are not choosing the religion people are less attractive option. For example, you are the Buddhists, you have many options to 172. But there are other Muslims who do not have the right to choose. For example, adherents of some religion never read a book of pagan, never be exposed to other people's leaders in terms of religion.

Asked how to choose a religion. The Buddha has the answer for Kalama. He confirmed that it is a very easy-to-make us confused. He recommended that a religious choice, before asking the religion which gives you what? then those people must know life need?
His human is only need three things:
1/you need to be at peace happiness
2/I need the guidance to be a good
3/To opening minds
