- Buddhist Teachings: The Fool & the Wise Person: So What Difference?
#Buddhism #Ignorance #Wisdom #Suffering #mindfulness
The Buddha traces the causes of suffering back to ignorance. The formal definition is ignorance of the four noble truths. But you can hear the four noble truths, learn about them, memorize them, and still be ignorant.
The definition could be translated in another way: We don’t see things in terms of the four noble truths. That’s getting closer. In other words, knowledge means that you look at your experience-what’s coming in through the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind-and you see it in terms of where there’s stress, what’s causing the stress, what the cessation of stress would be, and how you would practice in order to bring about that cessation.
That’s asking you take on a framework that you don’t normally take. The normal framework is “me in the world, encountering things I like and don’t like, suffering from the things I don’t like.” That’s the way we tend to think about the issue.
The Buddha’s asking us to look at it in a different way. With each of those ways of looking, he says there’s a duty. When you see that something is stressful, you try to comprehend it. In other words, you watch it and try to understand it to the point where you gain dispassion for it, because as he defines the nature of suffering, it’s clinging, which is something you do. You’re not simply a passive victim of suffering. You’re actively doing it. Things you cling to, things that you hold dearly: Those are precisely the things you suffer from. So you’ve got to develop some dispassion for them. Otherwise, there’s no getting away from suffering.
As for the cause, craving, you want to abandon it. Craving for sensuality-in other words, enjoying sensual fantasies. Craving for becoming, wanting to take on an identity in this world so that you can get pleasures out of the world. And then craving for non-becoming: You find that your identity is not working well, so you want to destroy it. All those kinds of craving are to be abandoned.
The cessation is to be realized. And the cessation is defined, basically, as the abandoning of craving. So there are two layers right there: You abandon craving, and then you watch, observe, and realize that when you let go of the craving, suffering really does stop.
We develop the path so that we can put the mind in a position where it can see that happening. This is why we concentrate, taking the Buddha’s definition of right mindfulness as our frame of reference. In other words, you’re going to stay with the body right here, in and of itself. You’re not going to think about the body in the world, either your imaginary worlds or in the actual human world. You focus on: This is what it’s like to have a body right here."

Leaving me to liberate the mind is the most important training. Thanks. 🧡🙏
A wise mind is like a mirror, reflecting and perceiving everything clearly without distortion.
Wisdom is a must if we truly wish to spread the good teachings and benefit living beings.
Never use emotions when helping others, use wisdom and be reasonable.
If we use emotions when dealing with people and matters, it often makes a good thing go bad.
To help others is to help yourself.
To respect others is to respect yourself.

Suffering ⁉️⁉️⁉️

What about craving for happiness? Is it suffering?
Craving itself is suffering. We can enjoy life without craving, and the passions. Desire is the core of suffering. It is more of a mental craving which is the cause of suffering.

Relatively quality content but why those false maudlin images with traffic lights spinning around? That is your representation of the truth? Representations are just that... representations and they are not the real thing.
Cheers.

Thank you 🧡
@@EgoPodcastenglish have a blessed day thanks very much for your videos.
There is a saying: It's very difficult to attain human body but it's easy to discard it.
Do you agree with the statement?
Some people say, there are 8 billion people on earth.
How could it be difficult to become a human?
8 billion people is like a drop of water in the great ocean when it is compared to all living beings in this planet earth.
Excluding the land animals , beings in the sea, and those living underneath the soil, the insects,worms and ants alone their populations is like the great ocean.
Isn't it, 8 billion people is just like a drop of water in the ocean?
If it is easy to attain human form then our small world would have a serious issue.
Buddha scripture has a saying that it's very difficult to encounter the Buddha's Teachings and it is extremely difficult to attain human form.
Buddhas said : to become a Buddha is easier than to attain a human body.
Do you know each time the mother drink cold water, the baby is suffering subzero sensation in the mother's womb and if the mother is drinking hot water ,the baby will suffer the same intensity of heat just like in hell.
Baby cries during birth, why don't the baby laugh ?
The cries means they are going to suffer after birth.
The baby in the mother's womb is similar to the condition in hell.
Dark, dirty and painful.
