Có a friend came to visit the monastery of Sravasti Abbey and did give us the signs used in the retreat to remind the students. in table to drink she writes, "Please wipe spilled water. Thank you for your your mindfulness. "in place of the doors, sheet stating" Please close the door quietly.
Thank you for your your mindfulness. " I start to wonder, don't know she said mindfulness here is mean here! Apparently the word Mindfulness (mindfulness) has now become a common word heard a catch the ear, as is the word karma so much but at least users who leave truly understand what it means.
And then I had a chance to read an article talking about eating an orange in Mindfulness – pay attention to the sweetness of it, its structure, and the dining experience. In a legal discussion, I hear people use the word mindfulness to describe one experience sitting observed his kids are playing and feel the moments of happiness.
Another person used it to describe the sense of themselves in the present moment: "I have the mindfulness of his wrath are starting up. I have mindfulness about his intention to say angry words. And I'm totally in the present moment, fully mindful when I speak the words! " And we also heard of applying mindfulness helps people cope with chronic pain.
Although the examples which I have just presented, there are few cases is the application and benefits of mindfulness, but they really take us to enlightenment? They have to be coupled with a Mindfulness that the Buddha has presented in the Scriptures, when mindfulness is an essential element on the way of liberation?
Mindfulness is a very convenient for Western people today, but the word "let go" (renunciation), then don't! The word let go carries with it the image of a person in a deep, dark cave, eating food, living a family alone, and not TV, iPods, cell phones, computers, refrigerators, or credit card. In the culture of consumption, then let go was viewed as a path to misery. And like mindfulness, from let go too easily be misunderstood in the West.
The Buddha has defined as follows: let go is a wish to be free, get rid of dukkha, a real heaven and suffering of samsara. Let go doesn't mean we turn from happy, which is the waiver of the suffering and the causes of it.
Because the see of him obscured by ignorance, for so little when consciousness is remarkably about suffering and its causes. And how to cure ignorance is a shed-not evading, not denial, or self-advocacy-for his plight, found it to be just the truth of what is happening. Have mindfulness. This requires an attitude very honestly, it challenged our conception of ourselves.
In the idea of Insanity, Vipallasa Sutta in the Falling Branch business IV. 149, the Buddha has said about four children see mistakes, the basic myths about our experience. They are the Buddha called four see insanity, because things are seen against the foot of our generals. Four see insanity that is:
1. in common is often: capture what is impermanent and for which is often.
2. in agony that is: believe these things in his life, that Leanne self are real satisfied or suffering, will bring us happy.
3. in the impure see is pure: pure not seen what is beautiful and attractive.
4. in the anatta is falling: embracing the things that Lee himself is anatta and no substance.
In Common thought is Impermanent This morning when you wake up, do you think you are already old to go one day and is also close to death a day reasonable? Although the reason we know that his body is ill go in each, but deep feelings in this body is still going strong forever and death will never come to themselves-or at least it also projects.
This attitude is an example to us yourself cuddle hold this body as it is, is fixed forever. And also, we see the relationship of as fixed and when a loved one dies, does feel consternation and surprise. We want people who will be present forever beside him and gripped retrieved my hope.
And we can learn how to deal with the impermanence of life very soothing. But first of all, we need to see the error in his perception of what is thought to be generally, is sustainable, and mindfulness of Tanh transform in people and things.
In the Miserable thought was Lost. Anything that brings us joy will also bring us the problems: an ideal spouse leaving, my beloved children, my new work against promoted and also increase work hours and stress for us.
The pleasure of a rotation in the life for giving me this disappointment to the other frustrations, but I still keep to it, thinking that this time it will bring us a long lasting happiness. We also like a gamble, believed that the new game will bring us a great luck. We as a name for a next cigarette addiction.
With mindfulness we will clearly be the second insanity. We will find that the majority of what society has taught us, and what we pass on to their descendants on the question of happiness is not the real thing. A true and sustainable happiness can only be retained by eliminating these causes should be suffering the emotional and irrational-the actions (karma) as they promote.
In Impure thought was Pure. We pursue and stick stuck to the attractiveness of the body and of the other guys. "The body beautiful" is one of the things that all of us are the same. But if this body is so attractive then why we spend evaluating how much effort to change it? We find enough ways to make your body look better: hair dye, more or less weight, wear the clothes that highlight the parts of the body.
"Keep was older forever" is also one of the great commercial business in this country. But if we keep living in harmony with the reality? All of us are elderly. We can do learn to live happily with wrinkled skin, silver hair, the soft muscle weakness are reasonable? Where old age need not be scary to the world, but one of us make it so.
Anatta In thought was falling. A common misconception is the most harmful and accept a one truth in body and mind. We think and feel, that the one has a "I", and it is a "me" as the most important on this space-my happiness is essential for my suffering, and need to be addressed before.
We imagine the image of someone and then keep for making live the illusion. And the majority of these thoughts about her is absolutely wrong. Leanne self's we are not ugly, beautiful, talented, inferior, lazy, stupid, smart ... or any good features or lower that we assigned to you.
And does the us think that, in the us have a "me" real and sustainable as body and mind as well as his life, we also believe that people and other animals around us also has an entity like that. We believe that all things right with the existing external according to their general. And also so that we believe that, whoever is the enemy of us, they are the people who are evil and vicious nature.
We go win the pull down and protect what is belong to us. It does not see the character names are changed and no entity of any phenomenon that knew how much these troubles and miseries have being up. And then there is the sentiment as anger, anxiety, craving, lazy ... wrong process and master of his life. All is well because we were going to catch what is not true and for that is the truth.
Thanks to mindfulness about four children see mistakes and insanity she-impermanence, real heaven, impure and egolessness-but we are conscious of the suffering because they bring and abandon them. And that's really let go. Mindfulness must take us to let go.
A Mindfulness thing will bring us a courageous and able to go back to the habits and customs of their autism. Look around, we see people who like him, everyone wants to depart the suffering and yearn to be happy. And from that our sincere hearts want to help other guys up. The happiness brought from other guys help, love and mind from going to run up in the us.
I find myself having a great contact with all the people, all volunteers, and we want to be pure and transform all sufferings of yourself-become a Buddha-to help other people. And in that way that mindfulness take us to the path of liberation.
