Four Immeasurable Mind
"Being born in a really bizarre scene.
's life being miserable results.
'Do not to miss this opportunity. " - Dhammapada
the mysterious beings have extraordinary potential.
Having two opposed capacity is always latent in each person. One, towards the noble pure state, the character of a saint and, towards the filth of sin, of the brutal murder. Both of these potentials can arise unexpectedly with an extremely powerful force. Stemming from? Who knows. Just know that it is always within us, more or less, strong or weak, depending on circumstances.
During the complex machinery of the human mind is incredibly brave. Center contains a treasure of virtue and a vice tunnel. He said cultivate virtue is a blessing for mankind. Vices who are governed is a catastrophe.
minded Those who have become giants noble and useful, those who want to rise above the masses to serve humanity by good examples and clear declared the useful teachings, those who want to take advantage of the precious human birth, are trying to wash your hair in the rest of the vices and virtues are developed latent in the mind.
When Mining mine is a hard thing. To find the diamond mines, oil fields, or other precious fuel, people have to spend so much money depreciation and labor, must go through many hardships and danger, sometimes even sacrificing their lives, to dig deep in the soil. However, to exploit the priceless treasure is latent within us, just trying to persevere and patiently worked. Everyone, male or female oil, into or cowardly, can be diligent effort and perseverance perseverance to gather other valuable career, because it is not a heritage passed down by his father.
So often, we consider vices of human nature is natural random outburst. Europe is a strange thing! Also strangely, but that contrast with a moral vices authenticity that everyone can enjoy life, we do not consider that the ordinary virtue, must have.
Court hatred (Dosa) is a bad habit destructive fierce. Faced with anger, kindness (Metta) is a gentle soothing virtue makes people become noble, moral absolute.
Terrible (Himsa) is a bad habit had caused so many other crimes and that How brutal action in this world. Compassion (Karuna) is an effective drug to eliminate violent patients.
jealousy (Issa) is toxic to the body, just as human motivation into the sordid rivalries and conflict situations danger. The miraculous medicine and therapies work best to treat heart disease is jealousy Joy (Mudita).
cling to what is popular, and dissatisfaction with things that are not pleasing to the mind takes calm. Due to the development of equanimity (upekkhà), two on the currency will eventually be destroyed.
Sanskrit "Brahma Vihara" lifestyle that is noble, lofty status, or place of refuge saint. I called the Four Immeasurable Mind.
Quartet Infinite Mind helps people become perfect and holy way of life, in the present life. Four Immeasurable mind has the power to transform the often superhuman levels, the holy flesh.
If everyone tries to practice the Four Immeasurable Mind, irrespective of religion, race, sex, etc. .. This earth will become a paradise in which all beings live in peace, joy, brotherhood, and each one will be an ideal citizen in a peaceful world.
four noble virtues it is also called "Appamanna" immense, as kindness, compassion, Joy, boundless discharge, no borders, no limits. Four Immeasurable Mind embraces all beings, without exception, put a tiny living creatures do. Since, Compassion, Joy, Discharge is infinite, boundless.
Petroleum religious affiliation or cultural absorption, everyone can cultivate four virtues gently soothing her to become a blessing, for his and for others.
1. Metta (Metta)
status is the first noble heart "From" Metta is the Pali, Sanskrit is Maitri.
cemetery Metta is what makes my heart soft. Metta is the mood of good friends. Metta is the sincere wish that all beings be happy to live peacefully. Metta is defined as well as a wish of your sincere gentle, sincere friendship I want to be happy and peaceful.
"Metta must be available equally to all living beings, should cover everything, have extensive and charming as her maternal love for the only child, care, sheltered child, dangerous oil also threatening to please. " - Metta Sutta (Sutra Compassion).Compare with maternity care from the Metta Sutta passages (of Mercy), the Buddha did not mention much less affection selfish mother. His only aim in the sincere desire of mothers gentle, yearning for his only son to live peacefully.
Metta (Metta) is not a natural love of the flesh, nor affection, What a lesbian. Sex and sexuality is the cause of much sorrow.
Metta (Metta) is not separate love for neighbor, because people can not distinguish the mind from the body, an application.
Metta (Metta ) is not only widely brotherhood between people, which should cover all living beings, without exception, give birth to small parts, because the animals, the ill-fated friend of ours, also need much to the help and love me.
Metta (Metta) is not comradeship, love is not homogeneous, the fellow is not, nor is it the love of brotherhood.
situation comrades only knew the same political aspiration, an ideology, or a political party as the Democratic, Republican, Socialist, etc. ..
The only strain the limits of the same race, one color.
situation countrymen only between the same country. Sometimes because of the human race to ruthlessly slaughtered women and children, innocent people just because this is not blessed with green eyes and blond hair like them. Whites own with sympathetic whites. Blacks own sympathize with blacks, whites with whites yellow gold, Indians with Indians, etc. .. Sometimes due to an inferiority complex, a nation brought distrust and fear of the other races. Sometimes, to prove that our peoples preeminent over other people, people do not hesitate to use brutal means such as war, bombed houses, destroying millions of living creatures. Humanity today still can never forget the tragedy happened during World War II took the last second.
Along a country, there are also narrow-minded mood, together in groups to create what we called brotherhood among the same social class, something that is only a mere love of the narrow scope of some powerful people, to suppress one class to the other person does not allow them to enjoy elementary human rights, just because these people have to risk being a class leader in the downstream. The other new upper class people pitied, because they are the only known living hushed narrow.
Metta (Metta) is no brotherhood between people of the same religion. Because of the narrow understanding, known as "the brethren", how much the person has fallen, how many great men were imprisoned and brutalized. Because of the narrow-minded brethren, how many people have been burned alive in a brutally honest voice because his ideas. How many violent actions, many cruel war, has tarnished the history of mankind as well as the narrow-minded brethren.
Until the twentieth century, it is thought that this is clear, human remains witnessed an armed dispute, but only reasons for this are not religious people be forced others as his thoughts. People hate each other, hate each other, kill each other, because they do not coexist together under one brand.
If most universal, because the belief that other people with different religions can not see each other as brothers and sisters in a family, the mission of all the teachers in this world, it was really stinging defeat.
Metta mellow towering above on the fraternity's narrow. Scope of boundless kindness, no borders, no limits. Metta no one regardless of any discrimination. Thanks to the kindness that I can see all beings as friends, and all over the world as buried together cut the umbilical site. Is like sunlight, cover things, noble wide attention from all over the profound blessings are for everyone, as well as the profile itself, as well as your enemies, do not distinguish between rich and poor, on man, male and female , damaged or moral coward, people or animals.
Persons with boundless kindness was like the Buddha, he was committed to the welfare of all happy ones loves his tomb as well as the contention envy, hatred, and conspiracy to harm his people.
Tam From Buddha to Rahula (Rahula), his son, was anything other than for Devadatta (Devadatta), who He is considered hostile and the Venerable Ananda (Ananda), a trusted steward love Him ...
Metta vastly broad, uniform for himself as well as for the neighbor, those who do not know, and those who have malice towards her. As the other guy go in the woods with a friend, one who did not know, and a foe, met a violent robber. Robbers decision to kill a person. If he sacrifices his life to save his partner, the lack of kindness towards yourself. If you calculate that one of the other three should be sacrificed, he had no kindness for him.
Metta is. Having compassion for others does not mean you have to forget. Sacrificing his life as a public benefit is one other noble virtues, and no ego is a more noble mind. It is the subtle point that we should not mistake the.
who made the ultimate kindness to see his identification with all beings, there is no difference between you and him. The so-called "me" time once expanded, pervasive universe cosmos. All divisions will fade, disappearing like mist in the sun light clouds. All things become a homogeneous, uniform.
fact no language to describe literally the word "Metta" in Pali. Goodwill, kindness, generosity, charity, is the name of so-called Metta means only.
Adversity is Metta means anger, malice, hatred, jealousy. Metta and anger can not arise at the same time. Resentment can not contain Metta.
Buddha said:
"I can not take hatred to destroy hatred, only kindness new extinguish anger."
Not only extinguish anger, kindness (Metta) also eradicate the evil seed of thought for others. People with kindness (Metta) never thought to harm, belittle, or who scoffed, never fear anyone, never make anyone afraid.
indirect enemy you often disguised by kindness a surprise is hidden deep affection the technology. If the concept is not correct, kindness can easily become sexual. This indirect enemy is subtle but it is also malicious. It acts like a person hiding in the woods behind a ridge or the opportunity to harm another person. Affectionately bring suffering. Metta happy just to make peace.
This is so subtle that we do not misunderstand. Parents love loving you, loving you loving parents, wife, husband dear, dear husband and wife. Love and attachment between loved ones is common sense, is a natural event. The world can not exist without love. But love is always selfish attachment, narrow-minded, not comparable with kindness is love equally to all beings in the universe. Therefore, kindness is not synonymous with selfish love.
willful desire to make others happy is alone important characteristics of kindness. People have always tried to interest from the welfare of all beings, just see what is good and where people never see the damage of a bad one.
Metta bring happy results:
1. People have always been interested from sleep happily. Sleeping with mood poetry sessions, no anger, no fear anxiety, natural sleep will come easily. Each person can experience. The mind's eye from sleep, and slept soundly.The Power Of Mind From (Metta)
2. When the mind peaceful sleep, woke at natural, and wake up with peace center, with face painting fun.
3. Since people do not mind dreaming dreams, see the evil, disgusting violent. Oil has also seen the good dream.
4. From the Center for Persons with others, of course, will reap the sentiment in favor of the people. When you look in the mirror, if the drawing was fun gentle, it will reflect gentle fun. Conversely, if my face frown irritable, they will also reflect its irritable scowl. In the same way, the outside world is a reflection of the behavior, good or evil thoughts of man. The despicable evil known only to look at the sins of others.
An English poet who wrote beautiful poetry and a more profound sense:I looked at my brother through the microscope of criticismIn the best man also has some shortcomings, but the worst man good points also. Why do we only see the evil of sin do not pay attention to the good of the people? If you look at each other's good parts, mankind has found so abundant happiness.
and I said. "My brother really rude!"
You look through the telescope of my contempt
and I said. "Do I truly vile little"
Then I looked at the "Mirror of Truth"
And I said, "You do it just like me."
5. People with kindness is definitely a close friend of mankind but also a close friend of all living beings. The animals are well taken delight to live close to the sages of morality. The monks live alone by yourself in place of the forest, among the meager tiger corridor which, thanks to the kindness just to protect themselves. Buddha once said:"Tathagata live on a mountain, among the lions, tigers, leopards, sambar deer, the second, between jungle weeds. Neither animal fear that Tathagata Tathagata is not afraid of any animals. Thanks to From the majestic power of sustained attention, and help protect the Tathagata live in peace. "6. When properly practiced, kindness able to change data fresh. Poison does not harm people with kindness, except he must pay a created bad karma in the past. Metta additional help health practitioners and prevent bad influences from outside. Thought evil poison people. Thought clean helps people become healthier.
Doing copy books about her Suppiya, a wealthy female religious compassion and care to direct heat. She Suppiya brought a severe wound on the side. The other day, the Buddha went to the front of the bowl, her husband said that she is sick unable to worship Him. Buddha said just take her out. She was trying to go out the door. Just see the Buddha, her wounds suddenly heal, she became healthy as usual. Robustness of pure devotion when she saw many Buddha, with the power of kindness that spread to the Buddha, who saved her from the disease.
A technology that other passages the Buddha returned to his hometown for the first time , his son Rahula (Rahula), then just seven, came to him and clear:
"Bach Xa Mon faith, only his shadow is enough to make me incredibly cool."
From the Heart of the Buddha which Rahula and cover the boy with a strong attractive power made him immensely grateful.
7. People have always been interested From Devas holders.
8. Metta is resting easy, because the ideas are not opposed stir. With a peaceful mind, whose kindness will live in heaven, and that heaven we ourselves create. Chi adjacent to those who have contact with kindness and blessings that are experienced.
Persons interested From bright face because the face is the reflection of the inner. When angry, the body's blood running quickly three times doubled normal times, become hot, red in the face to put on the ears. From left to mind the spirit of fun painting, body feels comfortable peace, blood cleansing and gentle face friendly. Business books written after Buddha attain Buddha in sitting meditation, the legal reasoning Causality Relations (Patthana), resting heart full of blood in the body and absolute purity. Then, from the way his body found in the precipitate halo blue, yellow, red, white, and orange, covered Him.
10. From the time he whose mind is also happily die, because the heart is not harboring ill thoughts. After breathing, her face is refreshed to reflect the loss of safe fun drawing.
11. Death happiness, people may be reborn in the heart From the realm of idle communication.
If elected Meditation (Jhana), he will be reborn in the Brahma realm of beings.
In addition to the benefits from physical nature, kindness has strong capability extraordinary appeal. Metta can sow the good influence to others remotely. Everyone was happy to feel comfortable around someone good.
One day, the Buddha came to it. In every notables to pay homage to him, there is a fellow named chief Roja, formerly a German friend of Ananda. Seeing Roja, Venerable Ananda said: "Master rejoice that saw Roja come here today to celebrate debut worship Buddha." Roja replied: "Actually, I was not there to pay their respects Buddha. Reason we are here today is because we bet each other that the people who do not worship the Buddha to be fined five hundred gold. afraid of losing money that is why I came. "
Germany Ananda get disappointed, to clear himself of the Buddha and begged him clearly the fact his friend. From Buddha to mind immediately available Roja, and then returned to the net loss.
Roja Then see their European relatives watered throughout a motion extraordinarily cool, seems to come from the Buddha. Being grateful is too strong, he can not resist the urge to meet resistance at the Buddha. No other running calf suckling, Roja runs into the temple, from net loss to net loss this other, to find the Buddha. Be directed to the place, knocking on doors Roja. Opened the door, he hurried obeisance to The Buddha, Buddha teachings and listening for refuge. It is a case that kindness is strongly attractive that everyone can experience, depending on their abilities, as well as other qualities of the Four Immeasurable Mind, always exudes kindness Museum latent within everyone.
During one of the other things that people want to kill the Buddha, the elephant drinking drunk to fire right back to him. Ferocious elephant running to plug the Buddha, to do evil. Calmly, Buddha spread kindness to elephants and tame at the moment.
And here is a story to the extent that a Bodhisattva can spread kindness to countless people around me, when His father ordered him killed. Bodhisattva think like this:
"This is a valuable opportunity for us to practice kindness. stood before my father.'re mourning her tragic. Behold the willing executioners of our decision, and we are victim was standing in the middle. available I have equal love to all four. threshold wish my father suffered from the adverse impacts of this evil act caused. Looking for my father, my mother, the executioner, and I, happily happiness, no pain, no illness, no cause of adversity. Through this capacity kindness, religious vows that one day we would become a Buddha. "
In a past life, Boundless, one day, Buddha is the bodhisattva, is the patience of Defence Paramitayana flexibility. On that day the king drunk. Want to try his patience well anywhere, the king commanded his hands and feet cut off. He still calmly, quietly executive rings. King was angry, kicking with his feet on his chest. He collapsed in a pool of blood, hyperventilating the last breath, but please still make love:
"He was never like anger, hatred."A monk deserves to be widely immense kindness. Not sure who does not dig dug, lest risk killing insects. Bhikkhus rightly do not drink unfiltered water. Following the teachings of the Buddha gives us an idea of how a center from which a monk should have:
"If there is fierce robbers with a chainsaw cutting the pieces and if the consciousness anger or hatred bandits, then the child did not follow the teaching of the Tathagata."Indeed very hard and patiently endure that level. But it is the ideal living Buddha disciples expected Him trying to achieve. The Buddha had healed noble examples. He says:
"As for combat, not counting elephants nose bullet wounds name, we must have the courage to endure the misfortunes of life. Majority of humanity lives outside the framework of the law. Attitude I have forest elephants game: strong progress between forest swords and spears, calm mood take life so bitter, and unflinching dignity firmly on the road. "We live in a chaotic world, the tension between the fear and danger is always war. The present national armed aggressively against each other and humanity relentlessly throbbing wait a nuclear weapons suddenly falling from the air.
During this moment, the world is surely expect a great mind compassion for helping people was to live in peace and harmony peaceful scene of brotherhood.
, one wonders: "Before the threat of bombs, in fact how we practice kindness calm is not? " A person can usually do against bombs rain clouds? In the hands do not have a weapon, common people can do to stop nose bullet wounds name?
Before imminent death, From the Buddhist Centre is a peaceful weapon and effective to prevent bombs.
If the rogue states willing mind to bear arms from alternative to rule the world with justice and compassion, instead of violence, abuse of power, the human race is surely safe now settled and lasting happiness.
Later Here are some practical indications to practice kindness.
Firstly, one must cultivate kindness for yourself. To do so, have widely throughout the body and mind happy and peaceful thoughts. Practitioners memorial:
"My heart was very quiet, I personally happily. unwholesome I do not, no sorrow, no anxiety, no anger. kindness I can now. loving aura around me covered , extinguished all selfish thought, every emotion of hostility. before I stopped feeling bad bout of anger around others. ugliness I responded with something good, hatred with kindness. "
Every day exercise Such spirit, the practitioner gradually becomes extremely generous, forget all the bad things of others and keep in mind totally clean, no impurities anger, hatred.
precipitated a happy light throughout the continent itself, the author's spread the happiness of others by the ideas of peace and selfless actions, showing kindness in everyday life.
When the mind is joyful and not ideas anger as perturbed, one will easily widely kindness to others. I can not give anybody a key that does not have materials. Before you want to make others joyful, the practitioner must be joyful, to know how to do it yourself happily. Practitioners widely kindness to relatives, individually, and to all, and wish everyone good away from negativity, illness, anxiety, anger.
Practitioners also widely kindness to friends and those who do not know and honestly wish for these people, as previously wished for himself and his relatives are joyful, happy and away from negativity, illness, anxiety, anger.
Finally, although difficult, one widely kindness to those who are ill with her, if any. From the mind widely considered to be his enemies, taking peaceful manner against the discord gesture is an act of noble heroes, should be an example for life. He says: "Let's keep in mind always clean between vengeful mob."
Practitioners widely kindness to all living beings, irrespective of race, color, male or female, do not put away a bird species public deaf interesting pettiness. Practitioners with all automation, bathed themselves in whole, see things and I are one. Mind no longer a technical position, the practitioner took all forms of private divide. Not confined to the narrow ideology, not influenced by the spirit of the class struggle, national, racial, religious practitioners see everyone's running mate in the ocean that we call the lives of all living organisms.
2. Compassion (Karuna)
Germany's second nature to help people become supreme is compassion.
Bi is the motivation for the heart quiver suffering of others, that which dissipates the sufferings of sorrow. Characteristics of compassion is willing to help others escape the misery.
persons heart is so soft compassion, more disasters. Every day is not a help to others, compassion is not satisfied. Much as to soothe the suffering of others, who have compassion not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. The Jataka Vyaghri Jakarta area [1] has pointed out to me a good example of Bodhisattva hie himself to save a tiger mother and baby tigers from starvation.
because thanks to the compassion that people can fully while serving selflessly. He has no compassion for his own life, but always live for others and always look for opportunities to help others, but never expect to be gratitude.
objects of compassion is what?
Those poor guys complained of hunger, hardship of the needy, sick, lonely, ignorant, cowardly damaged, dirty people let loose life, was the sort of people who need compassion compassionate hearts noble, no comment men and women, irrespective of race, caste or religion.
majority of Asian and African nations are poor. In Europe, Australia and America, the population is relatively affluent life easier. There are many countries rich in material but spiritual poverty. There are also other ethnic materially poor but spiritually rich. No mental or physical argument, lofty duty of the rich to help the poor. Countless men, women and children, are living in penury, lack both the necessary supplies. If the location of the money brought in rich abundance of help for these kinds of people, charity work was not well done to the loss of their property.
On the other, the student has the permission of the young mother image removed screen hanging on a door to the poor and the hungry. He said that this has no curtain, no door to the well must be cold, but if the lack of clothing covering the body, to make sure the other poor miserable cold. Mercy of the student it is doing a good example.
honored Humanity noted that a few rich continent have combined to form the charity, find ways to help the less open bring. In most countries, organizations sufficient class - men, women and students - have strong activity to bring the rate of poverty and deprivation of the assistance needed. The religious groups, within their modest, and the ability to leverage rounded parts. The underdeveloped countries are in need of nursing homes, orphanages and other similar charitable organizations. In Asia, begging victims remains a problem. In many countries in this region, has become professional beggars live. It is an affront to the country, so the government should also pay attention to solve.
's money The rich have an obligation to help the poor material. The rich spiritual moral obligation to help the poor spirit, even though he may be a wealthy businessmen. Silver forest pools money alone does not bring happiness complete. Precious treasure of happiness does not make sense. Peace and peaceful mood just by creating treasure ethics.
Ranks as the lecherous sin worthy of noble rank than pity, because they are mentally ill. Do not look down or turn all the weak link this class because they have perverted paths, on the contrary, mercy and guidance should they return to the road. Parents will love the children, but special care baby care for sick or poor shot. Is the same, our compassion should cover all suffering beings. But particularly for the class morbid mental impairment ethics, we should have special mercy and help with all your heart, lead them back to the good.
As the ancient Buddha, out of pity and rescue Ambapali level, women drifted Wanderer, and the fact Angulimala dedicated, ruthless assassin, attempted to harm him. Later, both by him and completely changed character.
parties in each oil is bad how are potentially good qualities. Sometimes just a word right, at the right time, can change the data permanently from healthy humans. As previously Asoka, brutal to change the time called the "man of sin Asoka", so that when listening to the words of a young novice teacher, his mood would change, strong progress on the road self-awareness, and become "Asoka wise man", a form of military intelligence.
Buddha advised alienation of people crazy. So do not rush means that we can not come close to the promotion of good feeling them. There are patients suffering from infectious disease severity. Everyone feared and shunned. But there are also many health food out of pity, to close care and treatment for their cure. Without compassion the other wealthy physician, patients must surely perish. In the same way, the class bad mental illness there must always be immersed in the darkness of sin if nobody generosity and compassion to the actual hand. So often, the Buddha found damage to the bad class to sensitize coward, but clear moral order is to seek Him.
infinite compassion, infinite, infinite. Compassion must be available to all, without exception, give the animals a deaf mute, and without being excluded in the remaining egg.
Tam Bi does not recognize the right of the power and majesty of the social class considered on the front just because these people was born in a class or a race. Kill, or make others wrong to kill innocent animals to lavish presents, eating gloating, as well as acting contrary to compassion. Use bombs to destroy millions of living creatures is the worst form of cruelty that mankind can do. The world today live in a state of hatred, anger, gave the most precious possession is life, placed before the altar for sacrificial violence. Want to save the world, all of humanity today need to make compassion to eradicate evil deeds and atrocities.
should also be noted that compassion of Buddhism is not mere small tears called 's mercy. Indirect enemy of compassion is sadness, sorrow (domanassa).
Tam Bi embraces suffering beings. Compassion embraces all living beings, including pain and happiness.
3. Mind Joy (Mudita)
third German noble qualities of mind are the Four Immeasurable Joy, fun (Mudita).
Mudita, Hy, is not mere status delight, nor own feelings for someone. Joy (Mudita) is the center before enjoying the happiness of others, to the success of a being. Jealousy is the direct enemy of sympathetic joy. Joy is joy shatters jealousy.
destructive jealousy is extremely dangerous. A lot of people get upset or angry when told that others achieve a satisfactory work. Seeing the joy failures, which can not tolerate the success of others, and try to destroy or distort the truth to criticize, instead of cheer to celebrate the victory of the people.
Standing on a local area, the Hy-hearted person directly benefit by giving her attention, rather than others, so do not mind Hy harbor jealousy. On the other hand, people who have never interested Hy impede progress and disrupt the peace of one condition.
well as kindness, sympathetic joy for relatives is easy to detect but difficult to express Road in front of the enemy. Indeed, ordinary people can never express the joy of pleasure at the happy foe. Envy also motivates people to do evil things immensely. Socrates, a Greek philosopher, was forced to suicide by poison. Jesus Christ (Christ) was crucified on the cross. Mahatma Gandhi (Orange Street) was assassinated. Buddha stone was rolled injury.
It is inherent sinful nature of the world, is passionately absorbed in fantasy.
Compared with kindness and compassion, sympathetic joy is even more difficult. Centre Hy want to develop strong willed and have tried to paddle.
Easterners are sincere delight with the prosperity of the West is not? Westerners have a real delight to the prosperity of the people of the East do not? This country is glad to see a prosperous countries of peace? This race has recorded rejoice that another race is reaching its maturity in the security situation is not settled now? Although the purpose of religion is to cultivate the spirit of ethics, have fun sect that affect the spirit of a sect strong expansion not?
religious jealousy with other religions. This side globe jealous of the other side. This Organization jealous of other organizations. This dealers other dealers jealous. This family jealous of other families. Pupils jealous students, even the brothers and sisters in a house with each other while also being jealous. Buddhists should practice Hy interest in the lives of individuals and in the collective life, to create peace and happiness and pull himself up in the high life bar clean.
Characteristics Hy nature of the mind is happy with the success, the high-hearted fortune (anumodana). Laughter is not characteristic of mind and pretend Hy joy, pretending to be a delight opera, considered the heart of enemy indirect Hy.
Tam Hy cover the sentient being. Hy virtue Center is pleased honest sharing, shared joy and praise to heart and eliminate all forms of discontent (arati), before the success of others.
4. Mind Drain (upekkhà)
upekkhà (Discharge) is the fourth of four qualities Infinite Mind, the most difficult, but also essential in these four noble virtues.
Sanskrit "upekkhà" by two units "upa" and "ikkha" component. Upa is right, true and impartial. Ikkha is seen right, righteous judgment, or innocent inference, that no attachment nor aversion, dislike nor dissatisfied. There is no court involved.
upekkhà (Discharge) does not mean cold, indifferent, do not care about the world, nor is it neutral feeling, not fun not bothered.
contempt, defamation, curses is commonplace. Rank the moral purity is often criticized and reprimanded. Amid the storms of life, the noble cultivate equanimity always keep the mind calm.
Gain and loss, success and failure, praise and blame, happiness and misery is what often happens in life, do humans perturbed. Hailed the fun, the sadness reprimanded. That is common sense. But between the ups and downs of it all, the Buddha calmly always, practice equanimity solid as a rock between the horns to the sky.
Jataka (Jataka) advice:
"In happiness, in distress, when promoted, time deposits, such as land must have a mind.For those who have rotated in three realms (sphere, sphere and the Formless), the Buddha's life is a shining example of equanimity. There has never been a religious teacher or a character with severe criticism, being attacked, insulted or humiliated as much as Buddha. But Buddha was also praised, most respected and revered.
"Just as on land can take anything hard, sour oil, sweet oil, clean oil, dirty oil, land remains unmoved, insisting impassive. Land is not angry nor hurt. "
On the other, while the Buddha go begging for alms, a Brahmin priests called him arrogant and untouchable is downright disrespectful treatment . Buddha calmly and peacefully endure the hermit explains how and why Dalits should not despise these kinds of people [2]. The hermit was impressed.
Another time someone invited Buddha to the boys up. When the Buddha arrived, the homeowners use disrespectful, to treat him for the worse. But Buddha is not angry, peaceful homeowners asked: - If customers know how he got home?
- I will prepare, prepare a meal for guests entertained.
- Well done, the Buddha said, but then if you do not come, why?
-So I will share with you his wife feast.
- Well done, this him, he invited today to treat the Tathagata to eat. He has served on the Tathagata rude rude words. Tathagata does not recognize. Then ask him to keep it.
these words have changed much the attitude of the owner.
"Do not take revenge. When cursed, insulted, to know how dumb the tank mines. standing is such that Nirvana threshold, although in reality not attained Nirvana. "
Those are golden words which the Buddha advised to remember everyday life impermanence of this change.
During the land and that, once there is a ladies lady incited a drunken insult to Buddha badly to change Venerable Ananda intolerable, transparent glass Buddha so to other countries. But he does not go and unmoved.
A pregnant woman author to slander the Buddha among the public. A woman killed another to slander the Buddha commit murder. A relative who had a disciple of the Buddha also stressed the stone rolled from the hill, determined to kill him. Chi and his disciples have also criticized him is biased, unjust.
Moreover, how many people have praised and extolled the virtues of the Buddha. How many kings were respectful kowtow and worship at his feet.
As land, Buddha received all with complete equanimity.
"Sustainability as elephant, tiger strong, we should not tremble noise. Mouth tongue lizard affair does not make me emotional. As wind blows across without being entangled nets in nets, but live between the markets, we do not passionate attachment to the pleasures and subtle impermanence of human life. As lotus flowers, from the muddy waters, beyond how many charms of the world, we must live clean and always pure, safe optimism and peace. "The direct enemy of equanimity is attachment (raga) and indirect enemy of equanimity is indifference, cold attitude, turn their backs to the world.
upekkhà (equanimity) shun greed and discontent. Carefree attitude, calmly, provincial police chief characteristic of equanimity. People with equanimity not glamorous worldly pleasures, not interested in happiness charm, and what not to do against the angry sorrow, suffering discontent. People with equanimity not see the difference between the saint and sin, and equal treatment for all.
-OOo-
Metta embraces all beings, compassion beings suffering, sympathetic joy, happy beings, equanimity covering what is good and what is bad, what to love and what abominable, and enjoy playing the lap. those who wish to become a saint in the life span, may daily cultivate and develop the four sublime virtues, which lies latent within everyone.
Those who wish to become part of perfection and compassion for the welfare of all, the longer time constant in the cycle of birth and death, may try to persevere, develop thirteen legal Paramita (parami), and finally, and attain supreme Buddha Fruits (Samma SamBuddha), director of Tri variable.
