The Four Noble Truths: 1. Ill-being (suffering). 2. The making of ill-being. 3. Wellbeing (cessation of ill-being). 4. The path of well-being. Hell and paradise are each available in each step, in each breath. Nothing can survive without food; what have you been feeding; what have you been consuming?

@kathrynck 3 жыл бұрын

I agree with this. I'd point out that this also dovetails into what we know about these states of minds scientifically. Although I'd point out that "unhappiness" is an evolutionary trait, which ideally is meant to spur us into action to better our situation. Unhappiness only becomes pathogenic, when it is persistent, and married to a feeling of being unable to change the cause. In a study of depression (of all forms) many years ago, a very striking finding was made. If you plot a 4-square chart with internal vs. external "locus of control" across one axis, and internal vs. external "locus of blame" (or 'attribution', or 'belief in capability to effect change'). The VAST majority of those who suffer from all forms of depression test as having the blend of a low internalized sense of control, with a high internalized sense of blame. There are other fertilizers of depression in the mind, but those who experience depression have a nearly 100% chance of falling into this quadrant on that chart. I believe it is an "essential" nutrient of lasting forms of despair, without which suffering cannot long survive. Obviously Buddhism looks much deeper into the matter, at such root causes as the focus on 'finite' self as an unavoidably 'interested party with preference' (thus their take on ego). I am not a buddhist myself. I merely find that my own explorations have lead me to numerous parallel observations.

For me the teaching is that you can not experience left without right or darkness without light. The teaching is not to be kind, caring, loving and peaceful. It is to be unkind & kind, to be loving & unloving, etc... to SEE the wrong view AND the right view without judging any of them. That is what brings real peace.

Its all about acceptance, healing, becoming whole and arriving home. ....Your handwriting though master 😯 🤗👌🏻....

I will always treasure Thay’s teachings and light. And while I understand some use the word depression, when perhaps they may mean a prolonged sadness as an example of something you are “feeding”, clinical depression is a mental illness, and there is a chemical imbalance in the brain. This is important to remember, especially when we are meant to look deeply into what is causing our suffering. Mental illness, in my personal experience can not be overcome with just meditation and religious practice; It requires medical intervention. So.. for those that listen to this teaching and have depression it isn’t your fault, and if meditation and mindfulness isn’t working, it is ok, some of us require more. ❤️and respect to Thich Nhat Hanh
