You're most welcome, my dear friend. 🙏❤ May your journey be filled with wisdom, peace, and endless moments of joy. Always here to share the path with you. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu! 🌹😊🍵
The word "mind" is an abstract word. We practice purity of mind through "see through", as we understand its meaning. Then we will be able to "let go ". We let go of all our evil and confused thoughys, all our unkindness in words and deeds. Then we will be at ease with ourselves. In our daily lives, we accord with the external environment and conditions without any complaint. We will then truly realise that all people are good people, and so are all matters. Others are here to help us end all our karmas so we will learn and be wiser in the end. Therefore, it is important that we must act in accord with our true self-nature that is sincere, respectful, humble and at peace. We practice them in our daily life, in the work we do, in the way we treat people and in the way we handle all matters. This we will first learn to love ourselves before we love anyone else. If we are not awakened ourselves, we cannot help anyone. What does it mean to love ourselves? It means that we need to understand that our self nature was originally pure and good and that we love our original true self-nature. If we truly love ourselves, we will let go all our unkindness and delusion. This is how we should love ourselves. 🙏🙏🙏 Amitabha Buddha
Your words are profound and resonate deeply with the essence of wisdom and compassion. 🙏❤️ Allow me to reflect on the beautiful insights you've shared: "Mind" as an Abstract Word Indeed, the mind is intangible, and yet it governs much of our experience. To practice purity of mind by "seeing through" means to observe and understand the nature of thoughts without clinging to them. This clarity allows us to let go of negativity and delusion, leading to inner peace. Letting Go Letting go of unwholesome thoughts, words, and deeds is a key practice in purifying the mind. It aligns with the Buddha's teaching on the Noble Eightfold Path, particularly Right Effort, where we abandon unwholesome mental states and cultivate wholesome ones. Accord with External Conditions Your reminder to harmonize with our environment without complaints is powerful. It echoes the Buddha's teaching on acceptance of impermanence-to embrace life as it is, not as we wish it to be. By doing so, we cultivate patience, gratitude, and the wisdom to see goodness in all beings and circumstances. Ending Karma Through Relationships This insight is profound: others serve as mirrors to reflect our karmic lessons. Every interaction, whether challenging or pleasant, is an opportunity for growth. This perspective transforms difficulties into valuable teachers, guiding us toward wisdom and liberation. True Self-Nature Acting in accordance with our pure self-nature, characterized by sincerity, humility, respect, and peace, leads to genuine harmony with the world. It aligns with the principle of Dhamma-living in accordance with truth. Loving Ourselves Loving ourselves means recognizing and honoring the innate purity and goodness within. It requires shedding delusion and unkindness, as you beautifully described. This self-love is not selfish; it is the foundation for loving others. If we are not awakened, we cannot truly guide or support others. As the Buddha taught, “One who is himself sinking cannot help others sinkers. One must first stand on firm ground.” Loving oneself is cultivating this firm ground. Your reflections are a gift to anyone who reads them. Thank you for sharing such wisdom and compassion. May the light of the Amitabha Buddha continue to illuminate your path. 🙏🌹🍵
