Essence of Buddha's Teaching
Buddha’s Wisdom is about your LIFE.
Buddha’s Wisdom is centered upon your mind and its true nature or the awakened state of your mind.
Allow yourself to be the master of your mind and let your mind be the follower of your awakened nature.
Quite often, people are discouraged to affirm the presence of this essential nature because they have been captivated by their desire, judgment and suffering from their deprivation of spiritual freedom.
The most essential theme lies in how to tame your mind.
Just as you must face your inner fear of death alone, you must face your inner peace of life alone.
Stay aware of the transient nature of the universe that surrounds you and makes you what you are.
Everything in the world comes into a being according to the causation.
Flowers and leaves are both the expressions of this world and causation. Your desire, anger, fear, or purity or serenity is equally the expression of such causation.
Because everything that exists in the universe is an expression of the lasting and spreading causation, they cannot be seen as an expression separate from your own.
All things cast on you the notion of coming and going or appearing or disappearing, yet, you grasp nothing but the notion of attaining and losing them.
Life is an expression of causation not separated from the expression of death, Right action is an expression of causation not separated from the expression of the wrong.
Buddha’s view transcends this dualistic separation of reality and looks at the reality as a floating cloud in the air.
Haves and not haves, good and bad, right and wrong. Notion of reality contrasted in two colors of black and white brings about confusion and suffering.
Moderate your desire, your way of dressing or eating, your state of mind, and your speech and thought. Plant the seed of good causation and be aware of the wheel of the viscous cycle and make a vow to start turning the wheel of beneficial cycle or Dharma wheel.
Let your mind stay clear with the absence of mind disturbing deeds and by allowing the presence of mind uplifting deeds.
When you are possessed with anger, that anger can only cease when you allow it to dissolve with your patience and awareness of causation and its consequence.
Allow your greed and anger to cease, and allow yourself some space between yourself and sources of wrongful views.
Shadow of the world is merely the shadow of your own mind while the light of the world is equally that of your own mind.
Those who grieve for their ignorance should know that they have already turned the wheel of Dharma by walking on the path of Buddha.
In the cycle of life forms, you happened to be formed to be a human merely by chance, you happened to live this very moment merely by the miraculous causation.
