043-The perfect teaching - Buddhism in daily life

The teaching of the Exalted One speaks of impermanence, which is
the cause of our sufferings, because from the fact that we cannot
keep anything, our attachments follow. The knowledge of the
future is hard, any moment can be the last, it is very difficult
not to sink into gloom.


The Perfect One has left us his philosophy as a compensation,
which attunes us to the "enlightenment", so in the rest lies the
power, we can escape the karma to the extent that we get out of
the wheel in which we strive for the "enlightenment" (and
hopefully reach, each person is different). Embracing
impermanence in full awareness, enjoying every second of life as
precious, living and dwelling in the here and now, this is how
the teacher of all teachers lived life for us. Not wasting time
with trivial distractions, simply following the pathless path,
striving towards the doorless gate, entering the worldless world,
then staying in Nirvana, understanding the intermediate world as
reality.


How do you prepare for your death, can you use every moment?
Everything existing is never "our", a permanent "I" does not
exist, cannot exist. But if we change the definition of "I", we
come to quite amazing results, which would disturb all those who
have not studied the teachings of Buddha.


Everything is impermanent, comes and goes, rises and falls, like
a stream or river. Everything is full of risks, life is made up
of thousands of uncertainties, even at the moment of birth our
death is already born, nothing is "certain", everything passes,
those who go through time without expectations have almost
reached their destination.


The Exalted One said that the body is made up of the four
elements, but to free the mind from desire, to become free from
wishing and wanting, that is difficult to achieve, because here
the ego stands in the way quite violently. The perfect one could
free himself from it, surrender to his true nature
(Buddha-nature), isolate himself from suffering, escape from all
burdens, simply by making the decision to no longer want to be
bound by attachments.


But we humans have not learned anything, we do not want to learn
anything; my money, my house, my children. Nothing is mine,
everything is impermanent, we should simply make peace with our
impermanence, just as the Exalted One has shown us in His
perfection.


Whoever reads here is interested in Buddhism. It would all be
worth a try, don't you think?


The way is the goal!
