tramp
when we lost the true home when no goal is like a bum, living in the streets. side walk, there nodding, a back off their feet and have children Wandering the other party. In real home before we go back, however, will feel uncomfortable, just as a background of travelers far from home. Only when he got home again, can be truly comfortable.
in the world we find not really a quiet place, which is the world in the Realms. to the contemplation of your own heart instead of out of the pursuit of it! peace is found in your heart.
when we played a great recollection of the Buddha, he said is so real, we feel how much he respected ah! when we see the truth of things, even if we never really had to practice Buddhism, but also still see him teach the law. However, even if we have a Buddhist knowledge, and have to learn and practice Buddhism, still did not see the truth, then we are still the same as the homeless, homeless.
blind
kept in the body and mind could argue, ; line will only lead us into the dense bushes and forest, he could not see, how can we go with a safe place? the same token, our hearts are pretentious pain: looking for peace when the artificial difficulties. We really want to relieve suffering and difficulties, but on the contrary, we go to these pretentious, and only complain about it. We will reason by committing evil because of our appearance Truth and the Write a detailed description of how the patient medication instructions, but if the patient is reading the instructions on the bottle, regardless of time back on the hundreds, will be dying in here, never get drug treatment. before his death , will grudge to complain about incompetent doctors, and those drugs do not cure him. he thought the doctor was a quack, or that the drugs have no role, knowing he just spend time checking the bottle and read the instructions on the bottle, but Reminders do not listen to the medication. Anyway, if the patient listened to the doctors advised Well, according to prescription medication on time, he will be able to recover.
doctors prescribe in order to remove the physical disease; Buddha Education law is a prescription treatment of mental illness, so that the heart back to the natural state of health. Therefore, the Buddha can be called a doctor treating mental illness, and without exception each of us has a mental illness. When you look at to these diseases, could not reasonably rely on as to seek the Dharma, like giving medicine to treat the disease generally do you read?
kids playing
Mind repeatedly thinking we will be followed will know, the heart is just the heart, not anything else. We will see, the heart is the heart, this is it in the Realms. If we clearly see this point clearly, we will not go to persistent thoughts and feelings, as long as constantly telling myself: thoughts and feelings are useless.
just beginning to be a love to play but it will interfere with our children so badly disturbed, so we chastise him, but after we have come to understand the lively nature of a child So we will let him play. We put down our troubles will disappear. Why worry disappear? Because, now we have accepted the child's nature, perception has changed, and has accepted the real thing face. We put down, and then the heart will become more peaceful. Now, we have the right view.
Cobra
mental activities can be fatal as the Cobra. If we do not disturb a cobra, it will naturally take it; even if it is very toxic, we will not affected by it; if we did not come near it or catch it, it will not bite us. Cobra according to its nature will action, and it is so! If you're smart, do not tease it. Similarly, let the bad and the good comes naturally mm according to its nature and let it go let go of likes and dislikes, as you not to disturb the Cobras.
a wise man, will be treated in this manner raised in his mind all the emotions. When the good feelings in the mind from time to time, it naturally good, and to understand It's authentic; Similarly, we let evil naturally evil, it comes naturally. Do not persistent, because we do not want anything! We do not evil, nor good; we should not burden and ease, and even not to do pleasure and pain. When our desires to cease, the peace will be firmly built up.

For coconut shell is dyed, but first we must have a desire to begin to practice Suppose you go to the market to buy a coconut, carrying them back, the way someone asked you: Shell also eat it? How do you answer this question?
is by the desire to play our repair, and if we do not desire, we will not go to practice. you know?! such thinking can produce wisdom. For example: those coconut, you have to even eat out with the shell? Of course not! So why coconut shell? because of the use of coconut shell is wrapped in coconut to eat out after the shell and then thrown away, no problem.
The same is true of our practice. We do not eat shell, but now is not lost when the shell. We put them in the collection together, as we rely on the same desire to practice, practice is the case. If people insist we do not even coconut Shell also eat, that is their business, and we have nothing to do, as long as we know what they are doing enough.
cooking
we need to train our body and foul mouth from evil, and this is merit. Some people think all day and night to have merit to recite the Pali verses, but in fact, as long as the body of your mouth clean fight flawless, is a merit. This is not obscure, as in cooking food, we put a little bit of this, put a little bit of that, until just right, delicious so far. Once the deployment of the delicious food, you do not add any thing, because the right sauce have been added. the same reason, to determine the line of our body and speech is not missing, so that can give us a , someone shouted insults rude to you, an instant, you hear the sound of this abuse, the normal heart at once changed, you feel uncomfortable, I feel very angry and humiliated, so you want revenge.
A few days later, another person to visit your home and tell you: will go to care about what he said. . In the past when you do not know that that person is normal, so you will hate him, but also cause you pain. Once the truth came out, overtaken by events: When you understand this point, you feel very comfortable, because you have first-hand experience. know the future, you will be able to put down. If you do not understand the truth, it will go to perseverance. When you think the person who insulted you is normal , you may kill him, but when you find out the truth mm his mental disorders, you will feel more comfortable. This is the understanding of the truth.
see the law a person had a similar experience. greed, anger, crazy disappeared, disappeared the same way. When we can not know that these three drugs, we will think: , with the thought that a madman is of sound mind is the same. Only when we finally know his mental disorders, we were able to let go of anxiety. No one can tell you this, realize that only careful person, it can be extinction and discard attachment.
