RE: Vipassanā Meditation Q&A + One Of The Most Profound Discussions on The Mind and Meditation
This post is just incredible, as someone who actually respects meditation and who tries to live free of greed and trying to better myself and accept the world (and try to be more wise in the process) I actually find myself attracted into this so much I actually went and read the Diamond Sutra.
In the end, being smart is about using your brains.
Being wise is about acceptance (not tolerance), acceptance and release...
I can only hope people see this and awaken... I'm nowhere near wise, but I know that only by trying can you ever glimpse enlightment... considering yourself wise or enlightened is just wrong...
You got a follow and 100% vote. It's great to see someone who actually understand these things. I'm not fully enlightened. But I know that I have improved and I know that I will improve. From the life that I've lived i fully well know that true improvements comes through understanding and the door to the understanding is acceptance.
Tolerance is just yielding to pain or simply bowing to the wonder. Tolerance is also running away or being passive/stealth aggressive. Acceptance is like receiving a a locked treasure/puzzle. After acceptance you can slowly solve that puzzle piece by piece and grow as a human being.
Just taking a moment to watch your breath can give massive results. You don't even have to sit down and pose. Just a quiet moment of awareness while traveling can be enough.
