-Venerable Narada Mahathera.
CBasil we live in a world of staggered not egalitarian. It is not full of roses that never completely. Soft roses, fragrant and beautiful, but on the Thorn Tree flowers are full of thorns. For the Commission, we're generous with spikes. However, we do not consider cheap commissions about roses have thorns.
With optimist, about this absolute is bright as roses; with the pessimism, this world entirely. But with the real world, not entirely bright as roses that never completely. It's nice and pink flowers with prickles.
A man who knows not captivated by the beauty of the roses, but look at it like that it is so. To know the nature of the gai, who looked the same, and be careful to avoid hurting spikes.
Pendulum-like it's always moving from right to left, four and four convenient circumstances untoward circumstances rife in this world. Regardless of who I am, not a person, must be directly with the situation in the world. The situation is:
- be (labha), and lost (alabha)
- Honors (yasa) and lost honor (ayasa)
- Awards (pasamsa) and fine (ninda)
- happiness (sukha) and suffering (dukkha)
Enterprises, in principle, have to depend on both the hole and the interest rate. Supper being ended, see satisfied if is or with interest. In this in itself has nothing wrong. Such profit was born a plot like that of a normal person or hunting. No fun moments, but is only temporary, the life is not worth living. In the world of competing and this stance, one must be enjoying a sort of happiness which makes your heart happy. Such happiness, whatever the material, resulting in healthier and live longer.
The problem arises in the case of a loss. His laugh, but losses are not. A loss makes sense of suffering and suicidal tendencies sometimes arises when a loss could not tolerate. In the case of horizontal left so we have to be mentally strong, courageous, maintain appropriate egalitarian spirit. All of us at up at down while fighting with life. We have to be willing to accept good things as well as bad things. So we will be less frustrated.
During the time of the Buddha, an noble donation of food to him and symbolism Develop and some monks. While surges of food donation, she received the unfortunate news newspaper paper happened to her family. No hint of disorder, she calmly dropped the letter into the bag and then continued to rise to feed him nothing happened. A maidservant carries a precious bottle of milk to rise quarter-master, inadvertent slip fall and break the bottle. Think she won't out negativity as the bottle you broke, He recommended she Solver successively Disqualified Symbolism and says all that could be, someday, will also be broken. She said: "what is a negligible loss? I have just received a misfortune happened to my family. I admit, I remained calm. I continued to serve Mr. though received sad news ". The brave woman's courage is worthy of praise.
Once, the Buddha goes qifu gangui in a village. Due to the intervention of Mara, sinful devil, the Buddha did not get any food at all. When Mara asks Him quite sarcastic, "are you hungry?". The Buddha happily interpreted the spiritual attitude of those who escape from any hindrances, He responded: "Rapture rather, we live not what hindrances. It is common to live happily as the gods of the Sun ".
On another occasion, the Buddha and his disciples settled in the rainy season at a village at the invitation of a Brahmin who forgot his supply duties must be real animals for the Buddha and Old Growth. During the last three months, Mr. Maudgalyayana had to volunteer to use spirit through ask the Buddha, so that the food does not have a complaints and is in use by a horse's hay he drove his horse donation.
A loss we have to have fun with the doomed hero of Messiah. Unfortunately we have to confront them, and often the whole group rather than alone. We face them with calm and took it as an opportunity to cultivate virtue this subliminal.
Honor and Takes Honors
Honor and loss of honour is a pair of earthly circumstance can not avoid that right in everyday life.
Honor or fame, we enjoy, take the honor we hate. Happy heart honors; lost honor the sad heart pain. We are keen to become famous. Many people wish to see his picture on the magazine at any cost. We are extremely pleased, to see our operations but not sense, is promoting. Occasionally we find the excessive promotion.
Many people worried when he saw his picture on the news. Want to have the honor, more people are willing to take care of the lining or for the big money to those who have the power to make me known, some people exhibiting the generosity by donation a hundred monks or more; but they completely lukewarm to the suffering of the poor, the needy neighborhood where neighbors.
That's the downside of being human. The majority of these engines. The selfless Act of disinvestment are rare in this world. Most of the worldly people are kept secret for use when needed. So then, who is perfectly good? How many people really clean about their motives? How many people truly have selfless?
We don't need to go hunting for the reputation or honor. If we deserve the honor, the honor will never need to search for. Bees are attracted by flowers weighs suite. United did not invite bees.
Result is true, we naturally feel happiness, and much more, are extremely happy when my name spread far spread throughout. But we must recognize that the reputation, honour and glory will pass away. They dissipate and dilution in the air.
About lost honor then? Loss of honor does not welcome for headphones and Italian. sure we stir pinky when the rude or irreverent poke in the ear. The pain Center of Italy and larger than when the so-called report of injustice and wrong.
Often takes many years to build a splendid building. In one or two minutes, with modern destructive weapons as easily as the building to dissipate. It takes years or throughout the new building be distinctions. At a glance new difficult names make up can be disintegrates. No one was exempt before devastating comments start with "but". Yes, he's good, he's doing this for the other, but the whole of his good record was dyed black by what is called the "but". You can live a life as the Buddha but not the waiver, attacks and insults.
The Buddha is the most famous, but also the people who are saying the worst of the day. Some people oppose the Buddha buoy believe a women often spend the night in the monastery. Failure to service this despicable attempt, they float rumors among the people they are the Buddha and his disciples killed the woman and buried bodies in piles of trash United the remnants of withered in the monastery. The conspirators later confirmed themselves as the culprit.
When his historic mission was successful, and when many people waiting for him, the enemies defamation He said he robbed the mother of the child, the couple apart, and impede the progress of nation.
Failure in all conspire to hurt his noble features, cousins with him, unto him to hit Her Sight, a Sami ganh hate him, conspiring to kill Him by rolling a Boulder from above but failed in this attempt.
If it's sad fate of the Buddha Bhikkhu not stain, the entire mural, then fate will do with a normal human not yet perfect?
The more you climb, how high the more you do for other people. Behind you to reveal your hand but hidden. Pry the world exposing the blemishes and your anxiety but ignore prominent virtue. The wind blows the cover off but retain particles, the filter, instead retaining the rough but to escape to the country. The culture of the refined and removed the crude, non-culture took the rough but leaving subtle ones.
When you are unintentionally misrepresent or not remember the advice of Epictetus to cast or say "Oh, by their superficial understanding and the knowledge of my feeble, I criticized a little bit. If I know more, I would presume was accused of much larger and more serious. "
No need to waste time to dispute those statements misleading unless the circumstances required you need the light. The enemy will be pleased to see you get hurt. That's what the enemy wants. If you just had left, the distort will fall on the deaf ears.
- See the errors of others, we should behave like a blind.
- When you hear the comments of others, we should act as a deaf person.
- Talking bad about others, we should behave like a fool.
- Unable to prevent the accusations, rumors and false ear ooze.
Dhamma teachings:
- Like a lion not to tremble before the sound.
- Like the winds do not cling to the eye mesh.
- Like the Lotus Flower being fishy foul by mud where it grows up.
- Let's wander alone like the rhinoceros.
- As God's son, the lion doesn't know fear. Due to the nature of them not to fear, the Dragons front of the baby. In this world, we can hear the reports, testimony convicted of false, despicable remarks of the tongue let go of the lung. Like a lion, we shouldn't hear. Like bu roasted apricots (leverage) throw out and then will return to the old place, false rumors will cease where it arises.
- Dogs bark, but the caravan continues to guests.
- We live in a world of shit coating of mud. Many Lotus flower which grows from there but not muddy the stigma of infection, they adorn. Like the Lotus, I try to live my life no one is blameless noble, not interested in soil slurry can throw at us.
- We will be throwing mud soil instead of commissions. So we can't be disappointed.
- Whatever difficulties we attempt to cultivate a good relationship does not accept. Alone we come, we go alone. Not a good relationship is happy in this world.
- Don't care to poison arrows launched by tongue let go of lung, alone we wander serving others with power.
- What a strange human greatness is libel, defamatory, poisoned, and shot. The great sages of Socrates was poisoned. Jesus Christ crucified noble cruel on the cross. Mahatma Gandhi did not harm anyone shot.
Out of thy wife not to honor or lose honor. They are not tangled when being aggressive or defamatory because they do not want to have his name or honor. They are not lining up to other people to recognize or not recognize their service. Work, they have full power but not to enjoy the results.
Praise and Cooking
Praise and cooking are two influential earthly circumstances. There is one proud when praise and sadness while cooking. About merit and cooking, the Buddha, American apathy ahead of merit and cooking. Like a rock solid, no wobble by wind, that person still stand does not move.
Praise, if value for a Bui ... If no value for, as in the case quit banging, but enjoy that is deception. But there are all those echoes don't create anything if they don't come to our ears.
From earthly perspective, praise of the aircraft. By a bit of praise, a privilege can be easily achieved. A critical moral enough to tempt the audience when I say. If, at the beginning, the speaker praises the listeners, presenters will be good listeners headphones. The original right now if the speaker criticizing the listeners, the response will not be satisfied.
No person needs to quit banging, and also not wanting to be someone else quit banging. The value for praise, not complimented kÿ quiz them. The value for accountability, they blame not despised but would like to modify.
Many bi t the Buddha's body, praised his virtue in their own way. A U Ba Li, an American millionaire, a new adherents are so thorough, lauded the Buddha included denouncing way hundreds of virtue depends on improvisation. Nine virtue on the foot of the value at the time He still chant Mantras by adherents look at pictures of him. The virtue is the subject of meditation for the devotees. The virtue of this praise worthy still is a great inspiration for the faithful.
About cooking it?
The Buddha said: "people say many were cooking. The speaker at least also be cooking. The silence was cooking. In this world no one is who doesn't get cooking! "
Cooking seems to be a common heritage of mankind. The majority of people around the world commented, the Buddha is undisciplined. Like the elephant forest battle subjected all the arrows fired at it, too, the Buddha suffer with all the cursing.
Deceiver and deprive themselves just evil looking bad ones that never find the good and the beauty of others.
Except Buddha out no one is completely good. No one completely bad. Have something bad in the best of us. There is something good in the worst of us.
Who kept quiet by Gerald a bell-like cracking when under attack, name-calling, and abuse, the Buddha to scatter the exclamation: "the person is in the right at Nirvana though that has not yet achieved Nirvana".
We could do with these engines. But the outside world often misunderstand them and poured for him the reason that that person never, ever thought of.
We can serve and help other people with all abilities, sometimes carrying the head of the debt or to sell items or property to rescue a friend in trouble, but after this, the deceptive world is made up of those who have been helping to search the error help, bulldoze, how filthy the goodness and joy before the collapse of the.
In the Jataka Tales are told to Guttila, a musician has wholeheartedly taught the disciples didn't have stashed, but the young disciple ungrateful failed does not try to emulate with you that hurt you.
Once, the Buddha was a Brahmin who invited home to donation. Investors can also invite to the Buddha to his home. Instead of making Him happy, he's wild thóa plated Buddha responded extremely vulgar.
The Buddha calmly asked, "Hey, you are visiting his house?"
"Yes," he answered.
"What are you doing when you arrived?"
"Oh, I prepared a hearty dinner."
"But if the guest not to be?"
"We are happy to share."
"Well, this says you Brahmin, he invited me to come here for the donation that he treat me with these words thóa plating. We do not accept. Please get back. "
The Buddha is not revenge. "Not take revenge", the Buddha recommended. "Hatred can not end hatred which only new loves end of hatred".
There is a direction would be best to praise that c ng were vehemently attacked, verbal and blameless like the Buddha. destiny of human grandeur.
The Buddha was accused of killing a woman with the help of the disciples. Those who are not Buddhists criticized him and His disciples are perhaps even worse that He A is Nan (the imitation of Him), should you move to a different village.
"This A is Nan, if the village people who mistreated us?"
"Dear World, we moved to a different village.
"This An Nan, all of India is also no place for our content. Please be patient. The persecuted yanked yelled at will automatically terminate.
Magandinya, a male whose dissatisfaction with the Buddha because defamatory to his attractive face when her father, because of ignorance, desire to marry her for the Buddha. this woman Bows to hire drunks going galvanic thóa the Buddha before the public. With a completely impassive, the Buddha had sustained his name-calling.
Yanked by an often bad for humanity. The more you work, the great becomes, the more you have to endure humiliation and name-calling.
Socrates suffered verbal remonstrate by his wife. Whenever he went out to help other people, this nerdy wife responsible for yelling at him. One day she was not doing so does not do this mission? turbulent this routine. Socrates took me out of the House with a sad face. Friends ask why today he is sad. He answered yesterday his wife do him so ill.
"He is happy because not remonstrate today?" his friend commented.
"Oh, it's not. When my wife remonstrate me, I had a chance to practice patience. Today I lost a good occasion. That's why I'm sad. " The philosophy of this reply.
Such is the lesson memorable for everyone.
When name-calling, we should think that this is the occasion for us to practice patience. Instead of frustrating, we should be grateful to the enemy.
Happiness and Suffering Sore
Happiness and suffering are the last pair of antagonistic. They are the most powerful factor affecting humanity.
Comfort is what brings happiness (sukkha), what brings difficulties is suffering (dukkha).
Happiness is normally satisfied Professor longing. As soon as the desired thing, then we look forward to a kind of happiness. So the heart of our selfish desires are never satisfied.
The happy epicurean animal sensuality is the highest happiness and just see where ordinary people. Certainly there are times when happiness in at expectations, satisfaction and the memories of fun. Type this happy desire by the sensuality, but is an illusion and ephemeral.
Physical property can bring real happiness? If so, must the millionaires never felt depressed in my life. In a number of countries have reached to the peak of material progress, but some Eastern spiritual disease suffering again. In doing so, why if the accumulated material may bring happiness?
Dominant power in the world can bring real happiness? Alexander marched victorious into Hindi, annexation of land on the way, there's not much because sigh even more land to conquer.
Much of the life of the use of power is in jeopardy. The case of bi (Holy) Mahatma Gandhi and (President) John f. Kennedy is the good example.
Real happiness found within rather than find where wealth, power, fame, or winning.
If the wealth possession by force or used wrong on purpose, or be seen by a good relationship, they are the cause of pain and suffering for the home owner.
So happy with this person may not be happy with others. Meat and wine with people can be poisoned with the other.
The Buddha stated up four kinds of happiness for the renunciation. Happiness is health, wealth, long life, beautiful, fun, power, property and children. et cetera ...
The fountain of happiness is found the excited about the wealth.
Normally, women wanting of enjoyment. The Buddha does not recommend all to abandon worldly and retreated to live alone.
The enjoying of wealth not only lies in the use of its own that also provides benefits to others. What we eat is just bullshit. What we keep, we also left it off. What's new is thought to have carried. We remember forever as the honest job that we all treat xự by wealth.
No debt is a source of happiness. If we are satisfied with what we have, and if we pitch, we don't owe anybody. Debtors living in a State of anxiety and beholden to the lender. But the poor, but not the debt, we feel peace of mind and spiritual Rapture.
Living a life without harshly condemned is the best source of happiness for the renunciation. A person from being blameless is blessing for yourself and for others. People are people admire and feel more happy, emotional wave of peace to others. However to say that it is hard to be good from everyone. The upper position is only interested in a life of being blameless and undertook had left with the lauded outside.
The eastern portion in this world enjoy enjoyment fun while others seek the fascinated by abandoning them. Non-attachment-AI or overcome physical pleasures is happy for the spirit. Blissful Nirvana is happy to release the suffering, the ultimate form of happiness.
Normally we celebrate happy, but not fun with the opposite of it-negativity, very difficult to endure.
Afflictions or miseries come in many different shells, Los
We suffer when we come to old age, that's a natural thing. By serene we endure the suffering of old age.
Sore more excruciating suffering due to old age caused the illness. Only a mild headache or tooth pain sometimes can't.
When we get sick, don't worry, we can tolerate with any price. Then we have to pacify think we've escaped a more serious illness.
Very often we have to depart ones. The far left causes severe pain for the mind. We should understand that all suits must have melted. This is a good occasion for us to practice relaxing.
More often we have to oblige United with things that we don't like, the things we hate. We ought to endure them. Perhaps we are reaping the consequences of his own Career in the past or the present. We should try to adapt themselves to new conditions or to try to overcome these obstacles by some other means.
Even the Buddha, perfect person has removed all the weapon box, still have to endure physical suffering caused by disease and accidents.
The Buddha is always a headache. The disease eventually causes Him physical pain. As a result of the rolling stones from above down by Threads She Hit almost all to kill him, His legs injured by a fragment needs to be surgery. Sometimes You have to go hungry. Because the đệâ not comply with his word, he is surviving in the retreat for three months. In the forest on the mattresses made of leaves, hard wind Hunter burning urination, He remained impassive. Amid the pain and happiness, He lived with a mind as egalitarian.
Death is the greatest affliction right on studying reincarnation. Usually only one dead person but sometimes people die to make us very difficult to endure.
When a woman asked why she didn't cry before the tragic death of the children, she replied, "it invited it to. Assume it away. Because it came so that it goes well. Why must I cry? Crying is beneficial. "
As the fall from the tree-ripened fruit, sweetened or have left the old left-well so we die young, at adolescence or at old. The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Flowers bloom in the morning only to wreak havoc in the afternoon.
Death isn't avoided coming to all people, it does not put anyone, we have to cope with the serene.
"Like the throw on the groundThe Buddha said: "When exposed to the worldly circumstances, mindful of a arahats never waver." Between be and lost, honor and dishonor, praise and cooking, happiness and unhappiness, try to keep the mind balanced.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.13/12/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
Whether sweet or smelly
I still had left the previous housing total
No hatred, no friendly
Neither person is good or bad
We always hold the balance "
