The real practice is meeting oneself

Introduction to Buddhism 2017-02-13

True practice is not about meeting Buddha, but about meeting yourself

What is practice? Do we have to leave life and go to the temple to worship Buddha and recite scriptures? Do we have to meditate and read spiritual books for full-time work? When there is a problem in life, we always feel that it is the problem of life that disrupts our practice.

In fact, practice and life are one. The purpose of practice is to solve practical problems in life. Without life talking about practice, we are inevitably escaping the problem...

In short, as long as you focus on the present, cooking, washing dishes, and doing housework is also a kind of practice.

Therefore, as long as you live truthfully, seriously and with awareness, try to check yourself at all times, abandon your arrogance, greed, expectation and fear, and see the different stages of life with a pure heart, you and I will become masters in life.

Cooking rice, washing dishes, and doing housework is also a kind of practice.Practice always reminds people of the hermits in the mountains and forests who are in peace, who are sitting in the sky, sitting in the earth, walking, and thinking hard about the meaning of birth in the universe.

However, the definition of practice is not so narrow. In life, I don’t know how brave it is to practice in a life that is more than those who “hide” and keep it alone, balancing work and family, stress and health, desire, impermanence and emotional joys and sorrows…

Seeking balance in complex relationships can actually better understand the true nature of life.

When practicing starts with practical problems, each problem is the temple.Practice must start with practical issues and cannot be talked about in vain and mysterious ways.There is no meaning to empty talk about mysterious talk.

You can tell a lot of truths, but you are still suffering and upset when encountering things. What is the use of practicing? Practice must be carried out in the facts of specific troubles or pains in life.

Don’t turn your practice into an excuse to escape from real life or troubles.Practice is not a way to escape; practicing Taoism is not a way to escape.Practice cannot become a kind of spiritual entertainment.

Of course, you can oppose or oppose all of this - stick to your own, but the consequence is that you are still suffering.When practicing starts with practical problems, every practical problem is the entrance.

Every problem is the temple, every trouble is the temple, every whirlwind of emotions is the temple, every fear comes to the temple, and every thought is the temple.

The real temple is not a temple, a meditation hall, a mountain forest, or a place where practitioners gather - the real temple is every present, every existence, and every thought.

If you have problems with your marriage, a problematic marriage will be your temple; if you have problems with your husband, your relationship with your husband will be your temple;

If you have a conflict with your colleagues, the conflict with you is a temple; if you fall into the boredom of life, this boredom is a temple; if you have money problems, money is a temple.

If you are afraid of life and death, the issue of life and death is your temple.The temple is in every misfortune of yours, and the temple is in every card and blocked place of yours.Practice must be carried out from there.

Don’t move past marriage problems, husband problems, colleagues problems, boredom problems, money problems, life and death problems - and run to temples, meditation halls, mountains and forests, or places with many practitioners, go to Xuan Tan Tao, meditate on Buddha or Bodhisattva, and recite Amitabha Buddha or Great Compassion Mantra.That's useless. You chose the wrong place in your temple - you are practicing in the heretics.

Practice is not to meet Buddha, but to meet yourself.Where should there be problems in practicing practices, where should I practice, and what problem should I practice.

What's the use of being in a good mood and no problem in temples, meditation halls, mountains and forests, and places where there are many practitioners?
