THE AUTONOMY

 

 

Spring still, but January is over. In the Dharma center happily, that sheds the depressing of the world, Buddhists we feel endless spring center. Fun Spring, and private prayer who know live alone , we see the image of self through the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni:

Do not look to the past

Do not think to the future,

The past is no longer

The future is not yet here.

Reflect Life

In the present moment,

He who abides sage

Steadiness and disengaged.

Be diligent today

Lest up tomorrow

Sudden death

It is impossible to bargain.

Those who dwell know

On the night of mindfulness

Then Tathagata called:

Who know how to live alone.

( HT. Nhat Hanh translated )

 

Here, he knows his life is an autonomous person, not slaves, not dictate anymore. The autonomy that is explained that:

Do not look to the past

Do not think to the future

 

During the Sino-Vietnamese word we often use, the "past" means "Passing", "future" means "will come", "The Hybrid" means "not to". A Buddhist religion will not leave reality to daydreaming about what has passed, what has not come, will come. Do not look to the past, future, does not mean we are not allowed to remember the past or worry about tomorrow. Buddha our attention to self, do not mind floating dreamy nonsense. For example there is the poet says:

Today light up sky high

I'm sad, do not know why I'm sad!

 

In this verse, the "do not know why" is a forgetfulness, unconsciously follow the tendency of poets dreamed. Many people see the dreamy illusion is cute, is in it ... People who likes to look at life through the eyes of glass which is more realistic. They lose themselves in colorful bar thousands of lives. Meanwhile, religious people will not mind floating in the past or future, but right in the present must be aware:

Reflect Life

In the present moment.

 

Contemplative life, consider the value of life is temporary taking place in the present, we will see some things. For example, we will see that they do not have anything. What we are: parents, spouses, children, homes, property, fame ... not all of us. But using what they have, but we do not really do that all the dishes. Always have these conditions, the interaction, sharing ... Even my body was not fully employed by us. It is the social constraints of each individual makes are "Body estate by Century" ( Body not by us ), must carry a certain role in several plays Life.

Soon the children, but was born , but as the proverb says: "The parents childbirth, outdoor living nature." Our children have their own lives. I can not save children eat, sleep save children ... though we love them so.

Reflecting life according to the suggestions of the masters, we see this life origination, no sovereign; this temporary life, by the grace of this story about it ... So let's introspection life like that, to not infatuation, to relieve himself of all his insecurities anxiety, and proceed to master in the current at. Employed, ie we will not make a person - Machine in modern society anymore!

He who abides sage

Steadiness and disengaged.

 

"Knower" who knows, is a wise man, the Buddhist refuge, has returned to good path and an understanding of reincarnation, rebirth, cause and effect ... He who abides sage should have the demeanor disengaged, firmly. The anxiety is so not because of physical, emotional, or ... more ideas. He has a charisma to live daily lives. He does not necessarily have to wear trendy clothes, say things politely, to allow a walk, always wear a mask on his face, and every day compliance programs available on ... The solid and the carefree spirit who dwells is the leader that many people desire to live like that!

four following verses:

Be diligent today

Lest up tomorrow

Sudden death

It is impossible to bargain.

 

Send a message of faith is master of impermanence. He said that humans are weak. Indeed, before the illness, old age, death ... so helpless man, have so much pain and fear. So now people have to be diligent effort directed. Who is reciting Buddha to Buddha, who is diligent meditation practice meditation, mantras, the one processing power mantras, until Bai, chanting, contemplation, worship ... each frying the practice of his , to quickly find sea state dwell in this world. We can not wait to elderly and novices. Buddha's definition:

Those who dwell know

On the night of mindfulness

Then Tathagata called:

Who know how to live alone.

 

The mindfulness here is not necessarily dirty Body concept, conception Life is pain, concept or concepts often not Mind France selflessness in 4 popular concept. Mindfulness as a whole will be identified as the primary concept, is not troubled mind more scenes on the ceiling. For example, when we come ashrams, feel free to rejoice in the good he has done, peace of mind for a day of practice, breezy soul to hear the Dhamma ... we just try to keep the spirit of fun 's. The noble thoughts will be recognized as mindfulness.

Mindfulness is not certain that Buddha, dhamma, or anniversary ... Increase Mindfulness is said to dwell, is the leading taste, smell the aroma is religion ... Mindfulness makes his major high bar, posing; contributed to the change this time of the Dhamma, is not degenerate time as many people think anymore.

During the Bodhisattva Church , Patriarch Minh Dang Quang faith have taught a doctrine so sublime that simple:

Self-delusion emptiness that is Zen

Nature that is not Dinh fake life.

 

This teaching implies that: Meditation is not ignorance, is the temperament we are awareness, wisdom. The life is not a ceiling, the nature center we are peaceful, calm. Meditation is understood as the aura of the Buddha's wisdom, but not very far, it is the very nature of our being as ignorant. To be understood as the mood of calm and deep of the Buddhas, which is not far away, it is the very nature we no longer cling to something.

therefore no argument here Zen meditation Theravada, Mahayana meditation , Vipassana, Tathagata Meditation, Zen Patriarchs, Rinzai Zen, Soto, Van Mon, The Threshold, French Label, Truc Lam ... nothing. Zen meditation. And to be on, no matter the number of vertices, the Second, stickers, self-adhesive, five on, the Immaterial, the statue Kill, try steering-serious-black tam, tam-black Lotus, the European tam-black ... nothing. Profile, II, Three, Four is the first fundamental of the input layer of the austerities. And the aforementioned three-soot is the realm of the super-Vietnam University doctoral level Dharmakaya.

Actually, the meditation has been implemented into many levels, many schools, to meet for all abilities ( universal approval enemy ). But overview ( or direct only ), then meditation is the heart and essence of nature we have lift off as trashy people ( most prescribed duties ). The sheds that no matter how much or how little long, but here only to emphasize one point: Let's go back unhurried calm yourself .

With what just learn, hope that the noble dharma of the Buddhas will enlighten our minds, help us truly autonomous, became the religion and provide guidance on making their dignified life.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/4/2014.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
