Relax Your Heart

THE HAPPINESS

Normally we seek happiness outside ourself. We try to obtain better material conditions, a better job, higher social status and so forth. But no matter how successful we are in improving our external situation, we still experience many problems and much dissatisfaction. We never experience pure, lasting happiness. This shows us that we should not seek happiness outside ourself but instead establish it within by purifying and controlling our mind through sincere spiritual practice. If we train in this way we can ensure that our mind remains calm and happy all the time. Then, no matter how difficult our external circumstances may be, we will always be happy and peaceful.

End Suffering

" Bhikkhus, there is only one way for the purification of beings , for ending grief and lament,to overcome unpleasantness and displeasure and to realize extinction and that is this fourfold establishment of mindfulness. What four: Abiding reflecting the body in the body(1), mindful and aware to dispel covetousness and displeasure for the world. Abiding reflecting the feeling in feelings,(2) mindful and aware to dispel covetousness and displeasure for the world. Abiding reflecting the mental state in the mind (3) mindful and aware to dispel covetousness and displeasure for the world. Abiding reflecting the thought thoughts, mindful and aware, to dispel covetousness and displeasure for the world.. .

WHAT IS THE INSIGHT MEDITATION ?

The purpose of Insight Meditation is not to create a system of beliefs, but rather to give guidance on how to see clearly into the nature of the mind. In this way one gains first-hand understanding of the way things are, without reliance on opinions or theories -- a direct experience, which has its own vitality. It also gives rise to the sense of deep calm that comes from knowing something for oneself, beyond any doubt.

Insight meditation is a key factor in the path that the Buddha offered for the welfare of human beings; the only criterion is that one has to put it into practice!

THE FOOL ( MAN WHO DON'T KNOW LIFE )

Bhikkhus, all fear arises from the foolish not the wise. All troubles come from the foolish not the wise. All annoyances come from the foolish not the wise. A house of reeds or of grass catching fire would burn the ridge poles, the flames running up and down would touch the bolts and closed windows and would burn them all.

A fool who knows his foolishness is wise at least to
that extent, but a fool who thinks himself wise is a
fool indeed.
Fools of little wit are enemies unto themselves as
they move about doing evil deeds, the fruits of
which are bitter.
To his own ruin the fool gains knowledge, for it
cleaves his head and destroys his innate
goodness.
Better than a thousand useless words is one useful
word, hearing which one attains peace.
Though one may conquer a thousand times a
thousand men in battle, yet he indeed is the
noblest victor who conquers himself.


THE BUDDHISM

The Buddhism is not only religion.
not poor praying.not in bad views.not only mental state.

about intelligence,about awareness,mindfulness.
The buddhism always teaching about to seek the
truth.seek the happiness.


"The Buddhism" you can see it.you can realize it.
you can feeling it.By your practice.on your life.

Buddha's words always meaningful.insightful.
