In the most sage (also called business people know how to live alone), of the Central Business Buddha taught not to look to the past, because the past is past, do not look to the future, because the future is not next, take comfort in the present moment. The teacher also teaches this often, but Buddhists also taking on everything.

Mindfulness in Buddhism

Most people who live in Europe and America, have full physical comfort but still feel miserable, unhappy, because they often live in the past or future and forget the present. When you have the opportunity to Buddhism, particularly the practice of meditation, mindfulness practice one time they felt the love of his life, he appreciates the simple pleasures and find happiness in everyday life. Since then they think of meditation, "mindfulness" the present moment would be pretty amazing.

The question is whether all the people who meditate " Mindfulness "will see the present moment beautiful? 's All Buddhist meditation, whether Theravada or Mahayana are also taught "mindfulness". But if practice "mindfulness" meditation tradition of Vipassana or mindfulness, the meditator Quartet will realize that the present moment there is no such thing as beauty. The more mindful breathing monitor, the fall of the abdomen, the birth and death of feeling will clearly see the three characteristics of things are impermanent, suffering and non-self. Things happen so fast and disappear, he should not keep time to identify it is beautiful or ugly, happy or suffering. Moreover happiness or suffering is only relative concepts of the world of dualistic consciousness, always see things both ways, left right, pretty bad, popular hate, joy and sorrow ...

I have not yet to the level of mindfulness meditation keen to see things disintegrate in every moment, just think in any Middle Eight (eternal unborn, any unusual period, any non-dual, non hybrid Real output) or Uncivil  (not destroy the non-legal, non-memory dirty ) things well enough to understand that nothing is really good or bad, it's just it, is like marketing. These brands are pretty bad due to conscious fabrications attributed to the character.

I love sitting at the present moment will be beautiful and want time to stop drifting. I was smoking opium or sauce ke the body and mind feel every cloud nine and uplifting moments that are also great rapture, so that addicts who want to find these moments. Practicing mindfulness

I practice mindfulness, your body and mind to recognize changes in every moment, sit for a bit as body aches, fatigue, and then release the mind runs wild, thinking all sorts of things, so that any such attention, unsatisfactory, it's nothing great. In addition, the practitioner is suffering from cancer, hepatitis, or simply have a toothache, headache, hunger is not known at the present moment there is not beautiful?

The strange thing is when the mind sees clearly the reality of impermanence, suffering (unsatisfactoriness) and anatta itself is freed from all constraints and all suffering. Persons suffering death, a monk to teach methods his joy, it's gone from extreme to another extreme. Practice "mindfulness" Theravada tradition is set to accept reality, it is recorded and how it is so accepted, no need to imagine distorted, that sure is pretty bad, is hard to say happy. When the center recorded objectively, not labeling, naming things up, it goes beyond the dualistic treatment and thus suffer a natural drainage. The present moment is nothing beautiful, nothing is bad, it is it is so.

Currently wonderful

Your mind is always sad, remember past perfect, future worries, no sense of what is happening in the present, the practice is to dwell in the present era complementary medicine. Once you know put your mind back in, then you can really enjoy the beauty, the beauty that you accidentally traditionally not seen. So you can say "The present moment is pretty amazing!" That is your true feeling.

The landscape outside itself is not bad, not good, not happy, not sad, but " The sad scenes ever funny . " When we brought the sad mood sad sight to see. When the mind is happy, the scene looked happy. Funny and poignant scenes, so the mood is pretty bad inside "projection" out. So there is a beautiful scene or not? 

This depends what you want to stand behind the scene look. If you stand on the true nature, swayed to look bad Prajna is not no pretty sight. If standing on dualistic, swayed to the view of " Everything is only variable formula "the situation is still pretty bad.

The present moment is also pretty amazing that such beauty is not bad! Because who decides?

Let go of the burden in the presentation of " stress Conditioner ", professor holding up a glass of water and asked the audience included:" This cup of water weighs how much? "

Many respondents ranges from 20g to 50g. Professor continued: " It weighs exactly how many is not important. problem is that you can hold it for how long? "

" If I hold it for a minute, then no matter what., but if I hold it in one hand now and I will be hurt if I hold it for a day, perhaps you should call the ambulance! "

" In the three cases above, its weight will remain the same, but the longer I hold it more seriously . " Professor continued: " That's why need to know that regulate stress. If we carry on their shoulders the burden of the day and also early not late, the burden will become heavier to fractured shoulder at us . "

" Back with a glass of water, I need to leave it down for a moment and then picked up the new map again. When rested, healthy, we carry the burden more easily . "

" So, before you return home tonight, you go to the burden of work down. Do not bring it home. Tomorrow let's take it back to the next base. Whatever the concern, worry, bother How late you are bringing in people, let it down for a moment. Spend the time to indulge and forget. Do not worry, we will not run away anywhere. strong When resting, then take them up again. too short life! Do not be foolish holding them forever! "

Knowing lives alone In the most sage (also called business people know how to live alone), belonging to the Central Business Buddha taught not to look to the past, because the past is past, do not look to the future, because the future has not arrived, please dwell in the present. The teacher often taught as such, but also taking on a Buddhist sorts, is lo build temples, associations, social organizations fundraising dinner, ceremony comb, etc. .. go do not forget to come home basis, base table chatting with friends and his wife and children. Go to the temple not forget the house, brought about her husband, family, your relatives with direct narrative. Buddha's teachings seem boring to listen too familiar. The story looked through the glass of water on nothing to do with Buddhism, but if you know to look for the Buddhist perspective, it is also teaching us all to let go, release the delusion, sorrow, worry, anxiety Real our advantage. 

I live in life, stressful, frustrating, we look to the temple to seek liberation, but not knowing accidentally let go of the burden of care. Before entering the temple gate, remember we put the burden of the world ( work, family, feelings, world ... ) on the outside. In the temple is to relax your mind, get out of the effort to have a strong insight problem solving.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.13/3/2014.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
