True antidote to suffering.

 

 As I have previously summarized, the practice of religious or spiritual teachings-whatever you call it-is a method to completely eradicate all suffering, a method that can bring the complete cessation of suffering, and not just temporarily.

For example, the simple daily suffering that humans and even animals suffering-recognized as fever, headache and other diseases, which can be terminated immediately by the external method as medication, without legal or religious teachings. So, if that's all what we can do, there is no religious purpose for existence. 

However, religious activities should go to the complete cessation of suffering chronic pain, and it depends entirely on the end unless the source of all suffering billions of things that exist and all-ignorance other delusions arise from ignorance of the origin. 

So, the real happiness-happiness eternal, ultimate liberation-recognized anywhere that unless we absolutely take the origin of suffering: ignorance and delusion other. In other words, the destruction of ignorance, attachment and aversion is the ultimate liberation, really happily-happily never change; once happily received, you can not ever change, is permanent. 

Why true happiness can not be changed or disappeared? Why we have never collapsed from that? Why can not fall from true happiness to misery? That's because once you achieve eternal happiness is no longer any reason that we are caught in a spiral of misery prison again. 

Why this day but we have happy sadness appeared the next day? For example, one day, we get some good news, or found themselves in great happiness and contentment draft or get cute gift or a special friend meet, and the result feels extremely happy happy-too ​​happy to stand almost like we do not know what contact myself, so happy that we even do silly things harmful to life itself-but after a while, a day or two days, happy we got from the meeting of certain conditions suddenly disappeared, does not exist. When you meet someone like that, rich food or luxury wear, at first, we feel happy, but that happiness is not lasting. Why happiness we experienced initially by meeting those conditions certainly not lasting? Why make it change? Why do we feel tired preferred instead of constantly experiencing joyful and happy? 

This happens mainly because we do not mind freed from the origin of suffering. Why? When the heart is ignorance, attachment, anger and other delusions of control, the pleasure that we have been through contact conditions change and certainly not long-term survival. However, in view of the teachings, the feeling that we delight in homogeneous merely be considered a reincarnation of pleasure-as a worldly suffering severely reduced, reducing itself only when label is attached fun. 

For example, are carrying a burden on his back and then you feel tired, it is a form of suffering. Leave burden that makes you feel so tired to put it down. At that moment, you feel lighter and slightly reduce suffering; it's not completely gone, but it decreased a little. Therefore, we assume that the fraction reduce their pain is "happy"; dig the feeling we call mental and physical suffering experienced let loose it "joyful". Moreover, although the happiness that is felt very strongly at the beginning, but it did not survive long. 

Similarly, a person sitting cross-legged for a while, then back and leg pain, then get up off that is probably better. When standing up, because situations change, so the pain he felt while sitting cross-legged before him stay and reduce "this is a happy". However, thinking that standing up is an amusing, if you try to maintain that standing all day, or even just a couple of hours, he felt tired. And again, he's happy joy felt at first not last long; it changes. At first, the sitting becomes problematic; he stood up to appease it; but then, to stand up and become a problem, so he sat down to rest that should defuse it. 

So, here are just a few examples, but our life is filled with the same thing. We always try to change. "Maybe this is better", so, we endeavor to something else. But then we get bored; Other problems arise. Furthermore, we change, "perhaps it better." We changed man: "I would probably like him, maybe I'll like her, maybe I should live with him, maybe I should marry her ..". We always change the food, clothing and other objects sense. All this clearly shows that there is some thing wrong with your body, mind, and our body and mind is the source of suffering. 

So what is the mistake that our actions? Why no matter how much fun sense of security that we inherited, there is no end? Regardless of whether we experience a sense of how much happiness, then nothing is perfect, nothing is terminated. We experienced a certain thing, it ends; our efforts to implement something else ... but it ended well; we have different experience and it does not last long. We always try and that is what he is doing since he was born until now. Not only in this life-without beginning, we experienced worldly pleasures dropping the other pleasures of samsara, pursuing not experience true happiness, and the ever-changing and termination, and we're still not satisfied. Moreover, the efforts we have made to achieve the feeling of happiness, sometimes, by experimenting with different methods, this is not end without beginning; This work is not yet complete. 

So, what makes this pleasures that do not exist, and for us to find this pleasure to other pleasures, not exert experienced suffering and sorrow as well as of reducing pleasure ? Why is this happening? The reason is that we are falling into this condition is not satisfied and is suffering because we are interested in the control of delusion and karma. 

What is Karma? Industrial action is caused by delusion. Because our mind is under the control of delusion and karma, the body is also under the control of delusion and karma; if the mind is not freed, it does not relieve itself. Therefore, the true liberation is completely free mind and now that idea. When the center of the prison escape and illusion now, the house itself is of interest also escape the prison of delusion and karma. When the body and mind free from suffering, delusion and prison of now, the right time, any relative differences that possesses the mind, the body is not experienced as samsara suffering, illness, pain pain, aging and death. 

For example, at one point, whenever an object having unpleasant feelings, the pain that we, when rain or snow fall that I did not have enough warm clothes or fireplace, we feel cold and endure; when it is hot and no air conditioning, so we have to endure the pain. This is similar to our feelings. Contact us to taste, to see that I do not like the food, we are not happy and miserable. Similarly, in relation to the hearing, to hear bad news or some other sound that I did not like, so we are not happy and miserable. Relate to visual and tactile too, whenever they come into contact with objects not preferred, then we suffer. When we sat cross-legged in a few minutes, they will cause pain. So, every time we venture RUC experienced this problem or other problems. Every time, when exposed to different objects feeling we experienced all these different issues.

Just look at his body: no small part of the body-even the size of pores or small needle-head without feeling pain, but that's not the nature of suffering. Therefore, the thorns, and the needle-like exposure on the body, though they are too small sharp, but we feel very painful. Although external conditions is too small, nothing really, but the pain we are experiencing is unimaginable. 

This clearly demonstrates our minds not liberate, it means living in misery, and because of that, our relatives also live in misery. Why do we live in the mind and body pain? Because we are now limited and delusions, delusions and they are now under control. 

When we attain Nirvana-complete freedom, except take the prison-industrial illusion and not feeling any object that can cause problems or unhappiness for us. Even thousands of atomic bombs were dropped, they would also bring misfortune or suffering to any living being that their center has achieved that level, entirely freed from delusion and karma.

Dharma division suffering of beings who live under the control of delusion and karma into three sections: Executive pain, suffering or approval; sufferings, that is the temporary pleasures, no true happiness; pain and suffering, ie vulgarity suffering severe that even well recognized animal suffering. 

Why work so hard to be called out or accept suffering? That's because not only feeling, discrimination, aggregates and our consciousness is under the control of delusion and karma, but does not have a PAN smallest in the body get rid of delusion and nghiep.Khi our whole body under the control of delusion and karma, the formation htuwcs suffering that is called out. Because your body is under the control of delusion and karma, so we can see clearly the problems appear everywhere. When our body and mind to work so hard to live in, and now wandering mind control, all the different forms of pain often arise from the continuous aspect to aspect. 

So, basically, like this: all are suffering the results derived from the act darkness or negative; the action is negative and dark so dark and negative attention, the delusion to make up. All the happy result comes from the positive action or virtue; positive actions and positive virtues by heart and virtue created. Thus, the evolution of happiness, where happiness comes, and the progression of suffering, where suffering comes, is completely different. Happiness and suffering arise in ways completely different. 

Because want happiness and do not want suffering but are living in misery, it really is extremely important for us to understand this evolution. However, understanding of the mind alone is not enough. To the end of suffering experienced constant-current and future-and to business continuity through happiness, understanding nature, the mind is not enough. We must act and must endeavor. 

Looking at the others, the student, with a pure mind is making good karma that results in happiness and tan, trust, expect their efforts so that we can experience the happiness is messed up. Thinking "I do not have anything; I can experience the happiness and good results so that positive actions of others create "is misleading. Otherwise its kind, if not transformed his mind, if not made his mind to become virtuous, positive action based on the basic artifacts, then there is no way we can experience the any kind of happiness-transitory or permanent. If no effort itself, then there is no way to experience the happiness of any kind. This misconception like a hungry person is expected to feel satiated after his friends were eating. 

However, the main point I want to emphasize here is that we must act now. If implemented, if used his intellectual transformation center, makes his motivation becomes positive, virtuous, despite the current action was caused by our evil mind, delusions, former of suffering, but immediate action now becomes positive virtue. In other words, in Sanskrit terminology, it becomes healthy and now only bring happiness.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT,,WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.11/6/2014.
