Evolution
With palms together
Good Morning Everyone,
Buddha sat underneath a tree as well as faced his fears. His counter threw a universe of hurt at him, but he did not budge. What did Buddha know that enabled him to live in such a way, in a open without doors, locks, confidence guards, or armies? His universe enclosed murderers, thieves, as well as sadists, didnt it? Yet he chose not to lock himself away. Why?
When we live in fear, we have been at fears mercy. When we live in suspicion, we live alone. This is not human. Human beings are, by definition, social beings. We rely upon any other, nurture any other, as well as inspire any other: we should not define ourselves as people so much as community.
So, fright is a powerful enemy if we knowledge it, a powerful tool if we swing it. We have been groomed to respond to fright with artifices of protection: armies, police, as well as militia. Doors, stand in passed bolts, confidence systems, weapons, all provide us with a approach of coping with fear. Remember though, coping is not dealing. The prehistoric, pre-human resource of fight or flight still engages us, reduced circuiting our reason as well as our heart. Its all so natural. Not usually do we want to live, we have been hard-wired to survive. Yet, these mechanisms for presence have been not utilitarian tools in our evolution as tellurian beings. In fact, as a Buddha knew, they have been fetters.
As Karen Armstrong forked out, Buddha longed for to establish a improved approach of being a tellurian being. He was an anomaly: a single being showing us a way. He lived without fright because he understood, deeply understood, a actuality that he did not exist as a solitary, individual being, he was Everybeing.
When we live as Everybeing, each being is us. Every being is to be cared for, loved, as well as understood. Living as One, there is no two. There is no singular, eccentric I to protect. Nothing for a singular, eccentric I t! o fear. We have been free.
Practice vouchsafing go of that that we fear. Open your heart to that that we fear. Find a improved approach to be a tellurian being. This is a Buddha Way.
Be wellZen knowledge for every day living.
