We have an anniversary meditation Buddha, Germany France and Germany Increased. We also practice on the morals of our goodness and generosity, but I don't see that meditating on gratitude. However, if we practice meditation form above then gratitude will also appear.
However, a slide show of gratitude in a conscious way would be useful for the world. I will give you some suggestions, ideas, to help you practice. Very important to really feel the gratitude and make it come alive. First, we favor in Germany The Religion, of course, is about the Dhamma of him, of what He has done for us and for all mankind. He has sacrificed, give up too much. For whom? Give yourself to him, they found, her children, for all humanity, for all beings. If you know the Song My Treasures (Ratana Sutta), you will see three of the road practice (cariyam): the Lokata cariyam: is the practice to provide the happily for years, Natatta cariyam's practice to provide the happily for extruded, progeny, Buddhatta cariyam's practice to yourself to become a Buddhist.
Extruded, in very special, we must not forget that since they are the closest of us. We should practice for himself, for the good of ourselves, and we should also work for himself by, in our own. What you are doing here that affect your family, right? Let's think about this. When you become calm, inner peace, understanding, tolerance and forgiveness of the families, you will still feel warm. What you are practicing, what you are living with your understanding, we will help you become a living example for his relatives, and that mirror is very important. I have studied with many teachers, some are taught very little I, little bit, they don't try to teach me, but they teach over the way they live, and I simply learned by looking at the main.
So, we practice is for ourselves, for the family and friends of ours, and in some extent, we did practice for the whole of humanity. Just try to become a better human being means we are making this all gets better. Just one more person know to live more mindfully, is more intellectual, more kind, generous, understanding, knowing love, forgiveness and tolerance, such a person also has the ability to improve the quality of life of the whole human race.
We can do this thanks to the teachings of the Buddha, thanks to the guidance of him, thanks to his mirror. He has sacrificed too much. You just need to ponder about it because as he does not easily. If just reading about his sacrifice as a story, it's that simple: "one day, He give up everything and go". Some people even thought Him selfish. Let yourself do abandon him and you will understand that that is not easy at all.
In an extent, you also gave up her life, despite the limited waiver. You have also left behind quite a bit of time to come here to live in 16 days. So, can say this is a form of renunciation "in miniature". But you just happy because of this. We are going by the footprint of the Buddha. "what we're doing doesn't much like what he did, but in an extent, we are trying to taste the flavor of the spice and you will see this is not easy. Even in just a few days is not easy. You have to practice meditation constantly for hours and, yet, now you've started slowly with the waiver, you have to let go of the relatively pretty then, and I think, now you feel this is no longer some difficult anymore.
So his gratefulness for the Buddha, let's spend a little time to a slide show really deeply about gratitude. We honor the Buddha's Dhamma deeply about him, about his mirror to back. We appreciated and cherished both for this.
Now, let's take a moment to a projection of the Sangha. Be grateful for what the Sangha has made since the appearance of the Buddha's teachings (Sasana). Because the Dhamma only really bắi head when someone learns from previous Buddha. No, only the Buddha only, and after that the Buddha teach the Dhamma for years of ascetic monks, who learns the Dhamma from the Buddha, and from which new Religious teachings of The German began to appear.
Thanks to the learning of monks – because they learn from Buddha-teachings of Buddha appear. If there is no one with the Buddha, there will be no Buddha's teachings. They even also did not know that a Buddha has appeared in this world. So, thanks to Rising Union that we know are the Buddha and the Dhamma, and for more than 2,500 years, the Sangha was awarded told us of his Teachings. Grants pass on to the following generation: Learn, practice and live with a good mirror of the primary and higher education. Without the teaching and the learning of the German Religious teachings, How will disappear. The Sangha and Dhamma teaching musician learns the Dhamma from the Sangha, and some who became members of the Sangha. That is the media presented the Dhamma.
Once you practice the Dhamma, as well as members of the Sangha. If you understand the Dhamma, as well as members of the Sangha. So, we are part of the Sangha and consider whether we are grateful to the Sangha to know you because they've scooped this burden, the tremendous responsibility that (transmits the given Dhamma), with pleasure, so we get the benefit in today.
The next step is that we think about the masters, and the book about the Dhamma that we all read and all voice Method which we have heard. We've learned these things from someone or many people. If we don't listen, we wouldn't have a concept that would--even the slightest concept-what is in France. And so we could not practice.
So let us meditate on the immeasurable wrote these books for us to read and we listen to the sermon. Some people get to the Dhamma is thanks to read an article, a book, sometimes just by listening to a shelf, only that only that has changed their minds, changed their lives. So, even if you just hear someone say a Word, a word that has meaning or a meaningful sentence, you learn it and it changed the life of you, you are grateful for that person.
When you think of all these people, let's be grateful for them. Gratitude itself makes a stay of Nice for those who are grateful, so let's practice the Dhamma with your message: we are learning French and French practice, and given the French tradition for generations.
Now, let's think forward to others that we brought for them: our family. Please think of our family. The ones of us who support us to come here and practice. They allowed us to order. They did not allow us for some reason, or maybe they're supposed to practice at home, while we get the chance to practice thanks to the support of them, and this is great!
So, you think the parents, spouses, children of yours. And now think about the people that you work with them, because most of you have jobs. Thinking of colleagues and people who had the higher-ranked of the such. Some of you are the two weeks to come here, you get this time is thanks to your colleague has allowed you to come here. Sometimes we usually give this opportunity as a default thing: "Oh, this is my rights! And their obligation to do so. "
When we tell that something is an automatic then we'll forget about gratitude. So don't let anything is implied.
Please Express welcomes everything as a gift, a precious gift.
Some of you are teachers, so you've got rid of her students to come here and they are remembering you. Be sure to thank them! Some of you are doctors and you also dismiss their patients to come here. Let's think of them with gratitude! And all of us who are present here, things do not happen as we all are living alone, come here and practice in 16 days; But what can happen is that we all are agreed, allow to come here to attend the key tu and support each other, as well as support for those who manage the meditation Center.
Thank you to all of you.
And don't forget to thank the chorus of the birds. Starting early in the morning, I was listening to birdsong. It makes me feel very happy. Take a listen! They are sing what? So we must also be grateful to the birds as they express the joy, the joy, the love life through rousing. They genuinely love life! We also are grateful to mother nature for all: the trees, the mountains, the sky, the world in which we live in it. Don't let whatever is the default! Everything is a gift.
Now let's think about ourselves: we are strong and that is why we have come here to practice. We have the eyes to see things clear the wall, have the ears to hear. We have hands and feet heal so we can take care of myself. It's amazing how since we are also strong. Can we say thanks, but we never order thanks to yourself! We used it as a default thing always. We forget ourselves. We forget self thanks.
Many times I say to people that we do not have the right to harm us. We know we don't have the right to harm others, and we must also know that we do not have the right to harm yourself. Here we are doing good things for themselves. Here, meditate is the best that we can do for ourselves. We love ourselves.
Whenever you remember to a slide show of gratitude, please think of the people that you find yourself grateful for them. And every day, always remember to do this every morning when you wake up: consider what the grateful you are.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/6/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
