Function Introduction If you cling to this life, it is not a spiritual person if the perseverance of reincarnation, there is no centrifugal if clinging to their own, there is no Bodhisattva heart if persistent insight, is seeing has lost thanks to everyone's attention, we would like to practice the Dharma, the interests of his public.

                                                                                      

Many people want to make wise and skillful choices, so they seek different spiritual practices, wishing to brighten their lives and fight the power to deal with their plight. But in this moment, we decide how to live this matter in a wider context: that is, the earth we love and the instability it places.

We humans have the potential to decouple from the old habits, to love each other and to care for each other. We also have the ability to wake up and live very consciously. But you've probably noticed that we've always had a very strong sleep habit. It seems that we often stand at a crossroads and constantly decide which way to go. In every moment, we can choose to be more sober, happier, or to be more deluded and more miserable.

Many people want to make wise and skillful choices, so they seek different spiritual practices, wishing to brighten their lives and fight the power to deal with their plight. But in this moment, we decide how to live this matter in a wider context: that is, the earth we love and the instability it places.

Many people believe that spiritual practice represents a way of relaxation and inner peace. We always want to have a calmer, more focused, who don't want it? Our life is so frantic and full of pressure! However, in this age, we have a responsibility to be broad-minded. It would be great if spiritual practice allowed us to relax and calm ourselves-but could this personal satisfaction help us solve the world's problems? The main question is, is our way of life deepening the aggressiveness and self-centred nature of the world, or is the human need for sobriety?

Many of us are very concerned about the state of the world, and I know how much people want things to change and that all sentient beings can be freed from their misery. But honestly, once we get to the top of our own lives, have we ever wondered how the wish should be fulfilled? Are we aware of how our actions cause pain? Even if we realize we're making a mess of things, do we know how to stop? This has always been an important subject, but this is especially true today. It's more important to let yourself out of this moment than to let yourself be happy. Work yourself, be more conscious of your heart and emotions, perhaps the only way to bring happiness to all sentient beings and keep the Earth sustainable.

Which wolf do you choose to feed?

A few days after the 911 attack, there was a story that began to spread and to the extent of our dilemma. One Native American grandfather and grandson spoke of the violence and cruelty that was rife in the world, and how those were caused. He said, as if there were two wolves fighting in his heart, a wolf full of revenge and anger, and the other a wise and merciful. The young man asked his grandfather which Wolf would win the Battle of the heart, and you answered, "I choose which one to feed and which one to win." 」

So this is our challenge, the challenge of our spiritual practice and the challenge of the world-how do we train ourselves to feed the wolves now instead of waiting for them later? How do we summon inner wisdom to discern what is good and what is harmful? What raises aggression, what can reveal kindness? The current global economic downturn, the environment of the earth is in jeopardy, the war, the painful rise, it is now we each have to take a big step in their own lives, to do a power to reverse the situation of the moment. Even giving a good wolf a little bit of feeding can help. We are all on the same ship, in the past, and now more so.

The so-called leap forward means that we are determined to ourselves and to the Earth-determined to lay down our old grievances, to avoid the people, situations or emotions that make us uncomfortable, and to no longer cling to old fears, closed hearts, heart-stone, indecision. This is the moment when we trust ourselves to have this Yanshan (basic goodness), and all our brothers and sisters on this earth have the first good times, and this is the time for us to cultivate our faith and believe that we can break free from the old ones and make wise choices. We got it! Right here and now.

We can help ourselves to learn through our daily dealings. When we talk to people we don't like or disagree with-maybe family members, maybe colleagues-we tend to spend a lot of energy sending out anger. Although we are more familiar with our own resentment and self-centered, it is not our basic nature. We can basically interrupt the old inertia, and all of us know how kindness heals us, how love transforms us, how easy it is to put down old grievances. Just a little bit of a change of perspective, we will realize that other people lose their temper, say it is not good, and we do these things for the same reason. With a little sense of humor, we can see that our siblings, our partners, our children, our colleagues drive us crazy, just as we drive others crazy.

In this learning process, the first step is to be honest with yourself. Most of us are very strong in negative tendencies, insisting that we are right, the Wolf of Rage is more and more vicious, and the other one can only be looked at with beg eyes in the side. But we don't have to be stuck in this state of life. When we feel resentment or other strong emotions, as long as we realize that our emotions are stirring up, we can now consciously make a choice: to attack? Or calm down? To put it simply, which wolf is to be fed in the end?

We have three precious qualities.

Of course, if we want to test this method, we need some indicators. It takes some training to walk on the path of wise choice. This road needs to expose three kinds of human traits, these three basic traits we have always had, but are often buried or forgotten. These traits are: innate wisdom, the warmth of nature, and the openness of nature. I so-called all sentient beings have the potential to be good, to know that every person in the world has these traits that can summon them to help others.

We have always had the innate wisdom, as long as we are not trapped in the trap of hope and fear, we instinctively know how to do it. As long as we do not use anger, self-pity, or greed to conceal our wisdom, we all know what is good and what is harmful. We are good at and skilled in emotional response, so that we make or say a lot of crazy things. We want to be happy and calm, but when our emotions rise, the way we used to be happy only makes us more miserable. Our desires and actions are often inconsistent. However, we all have the basic wisdom to help us solve the problem without messing things up.

The warmth of our innate nature refers to our shared ability to be loving, empathetic, and humorous, as well as our ability to be thankful, thankful and considerate. The whole of this power is what we often call the quality of the heart, which is a part of human nature. The warmth of nature has a power that can limbs heal all of us--our relationship with ourselves, with people, and animals, and everything in everyday life.

The third good trait of the beginning is the openness of the innate, like the broad heart of the sky. Basically, our heart is very broad, very flexible, very curious, it may be said that it is not a prejudice before the state. That is when we turn gimping into a state of fear as the starting point, and we narrow it down to the view that everyone is not the enemy, but the one who will threaten us, or ally, or the one who likes, or the one who dislikes, or who does not care. But basically, our heart--you and every one of us, is open.

We can connect to this openness at any time, for example, now, three seconds, don't read it, pause it.

If you can stop so briefly, you may feel a moment of zero delusion.

With a little pause, the wisdom of the present will come to save us.

Another way to find out what is inherently open is to think of a time when you were angry, someone said or did something you didn't like, and you wanted to find someone to settle or vent. Now, if you could just stop and take a deep breath and slow the process down, what would happen? At that time, you can connect with the openness of your innate nature. You can stop, give space, and use your strength in the Wolf of patience and courage, not against the Wolves of attack and violence. At that moment of pause, our innate wisdom often comes to save us, so we have time to watch: Why do we want to make unpleasant calls, say something unkind, drink alcohol, take drugs, or do something else?

Admittedly, we want to do these things because it will relieve the heat and bring some satisfaction, or a solution, or a sense of comfort-we thought it would be better in the end. But if we pause and ask ourselves, "Will I feel better after the event?" "Allowing that openness, that space to exist, giving us a chance to be born with the wisdom of our own, is something we already know: at the end we don't feel better." How would we know? Because believe it or not, this is not the first time we are stuck in the same operation, the same automatic mode of operation. If we were to do this poll, perhaps most people would say that in their personal lives, aggression would feed aggression, it would raise anger and malice and not bring calm.

If we now see someone or hear an emotional reaction to a message that is immediately angry, or depressed, or other extreme emotions, it is because we have cultivated a certain habit for a long time. But as my teacher Chuyanbai Zopa said, we can use their own life to do experiments, in the next moment, under one, we can choose to stop, slow down, or static for a few seconds. We can interrupt the old chain reaction and not attack it as before. We do not need to blame others, do not need to blame ourselves, when we are in a critical moment, we can try not to strengthen the inertia of the attack, see what happens.

In this process, pausing is very useful, creating a temporary contrast between the complete ego center and the current awakening. You just have to stop for a few seconds and take a deep breath before proceeding with the original activity. You don't have to turn it into a project plan. Chuyanbai Bären is often likened to a gap, and you stop and create a gap in what you do. A Buddhist monk of Vietnamese nationality, as a Zen master, called it the practice of mindfulness. At his dojo and meditation center, someone knocks at the clock every once in a while, and every time you hear the bell, everyone pauses and breathes deeply, keeping mindfulness. In ordinary life, we often fall into a lot of internal discussions with ourselves, then you might as well stop.

You can do that in a day, maybe it's a little difficult to remember at first, but once you start, such a pause will nourish you and you'll start liking pauses rather than getting stuck.

As long as people find this way useful, they will try to stop in a busy life. For example, they will put a sign in front of the computer, perhaps a word, or a face, an image, a symbol-anything that reminds you. Otherwise they decided: "Every time the phone rings, I stop." "OR:" Whenever I walk up to the computer, I have to stop. "OR:" When you turn on the refrigerator, brush your teeth before the phone is switched on ... "You can apply what happens most often during the day. You still do the same thing, then, just spend a few seconds, pause, and consciously breathe three times.

Inertia like clothes, can be put on or take off

I was told that they felt uneasy about stopping. One person said that stopping is like dying, which illustrates the power of inertia. We often think of inertial behavior as a sense of security, sureness and comfort, and it gives us a sense of something to grasp. Our inertia moves, accelerates, speaks to ourselves, fills the space. However, inertia like clothes, we can put on or take off, but we are too clear, as long as we are very attached to the dress, we do not want to take off, we will feel exposed too much, in front of the naked people, we will feel that the foot is not on the ground, unsafe, and do not know what will happen. We thought it was natural, even sensible, to escape from uncomfortable feelings. If you are very eager to decide that every time you turn on your computer and stop, you may not want to do it at all when you turn on your computer: "Well, I can't stop now because I'm in a hurry to do things, and there are 40 million things waiting for me." "We always thought it was impossible or unwilling to slow down and be related to the external environment because our lives are so busy!" But I can tell you, in my three-year retreat, I found it was not. I sat in a small room, looking at the sea, the whole world of time to me, I sat in a quiet meditation, this uncomfortable feeling is coming, I feel the need to quickly finish this section of Zen sit, to do more important things. When I feel this way, I find that all of us have a deep-rooted habit, and the feeling is simple, that we don't want to live in the moment.

When the mood is full, or whenever we stop, we can shake the old habits of fear. In this way, we create space, touch the openness of our hearts, and our innate wisdom will emerge. This innate wisdom instinctively knows what can appease us, what will shake us, this can be a life-saving message!

A healing remedy for pain

Once we stop, we give ourselves a chance to touch the warmth of our innate nature. Once awakened, the qualities of the heart can cut off our negative emotions, which works better than anything else. An American soldier in Iraq told a story. He said that, on the most mundane day, he had once again witnessed the bombing of several of his countrymen, whom he loved. Again, he and the brother of the division decided to have a paper. When they learned that several Iraqis were probably the ones who had killed his friends, they went into the black-and-touch houses of the people, and because of their anger, and in a claustrophobic situation, they could breathe in a violent atmosphere, and the soldiers beat them up to vent their frustration.

Then they took the flashlight to the faces of the captives, and they saw one of them was just a child, and he had Down's syndrome (Down's syndrome).

The American soldier had a son of Down's syndrome, and when he saw the child, his heart was broken, and he suddenly had a totally different view of the situation. He could feel the fear of the little boy, and he could feel that the Iraqis were as human as he was, and that his kindness was so strong that he could cut off his long-accumulated rage, and he could no longer treat them cruelly. In the moment of his innate mercy, his views on the war and his past actions have changed.

At present, most people in the world have no way of knowing when they will erupt, or even how important it is to slow down. In most cases, the energy that is stirred up is quickly translated into the response and speech of the attack. But every one of us has wisdom, warmth and openness, and if we can consciously recognize what is going on, we can immediately stop and uncover the basic human traits. Revenge of the Desire, prejudice of the mind, are temporary and in addition to the lost, is not a perpetual situation, like Chuyanbai Chong Zopa said: "Rational can be sustainable, trouble but a moment." 」

In order to be honest with the pain of life and the problems of the world, we should look at our hearts with compassion and honesty. We can be intimate with a heart of hatred, a divided heart, a person becoming "someone else" and a bad and wrong heart. We have no fear and great kindness to know the angry, unforgiving, hostile wolf. In time, we are very familiar with this part of ourselves, but we no longer feed it, but choose to nourish our openness, wisdom and warmth. This choice, along with the mentality and action that follows, will be a cure for all the pain that may be healed. ---from the "no emotional kidnapping: getting rid of your inertia and fear"
