Phật Tiết Lộ Sự Thật: Vì Sao Người Căn Tu Cao Thường Ít Đi Chùa? | Tu Tâm Tĩnh Lặng

Good evening There's a saying that upon first hearing can startle many people even make them uncomfortable High-ranking monks often do not like to go to the temple It sounds like a paradox Temples are places for cultivation and spiritual refuge Then why do advanced practitioners avoid temples But if you are listening to these voices with a little silence in your heart you will probably find yourself somewhere in that statement It's not because you are disrespectful to the Triple Gem but because you are gradually realizing a truth very different from what you once believed Many people come to the temple out of anxiety They bring fear lack and unresolved issues from their lives They pray for the end of suffering the end of disasters for family safety and for smooth work That is not wrong The Buddha has never criticized those who seek birth But the Buddha also never taught that simply entering the temple frequently would naturally illuminate the mind The temple is just a means but the path lies within each person The higher one's cultivation the more they have passed through the stage of relying on form They used to frequently visit temples diligently participate in worship and eagerly seek out skilled and knowledgeable teachers But the more they practice the more they realize that if the mind is still agitated going to the temple only increases the agitation The temple is crowded with mixed energies many seeking hearts comparing hearts and familiar hearts For those with weak hearts that is a place to take refuge But for someone with a sensitive inner self just entering is enough to hear many unspoken things Some people go to the temple but their minds are not calmer instead they feel more tired It's not because the temple is bad but because their minds have changed levels When the curtain opens external confirmation is no longer needed They don't need anyone to see them reciting scriptures don't need anyone to know they are vegetarian and don't need the title of a monk or a person of understanding It was at that moment that the crowded temple became a force pulling their minds outward rather than drawing them inward Buddha clearly stated that when the mind is pure the land is pure and he never said that the mind can only be pure by staying in a temple Highly cultivated people deeply understand this They know that if the mind is not pure even in the main hall it is still filled with delusive thoughts And if the mind is pure even while washing dishes sweeping the floor going to the market or taking care of children that place is also a place of practice A truth few dare to speak openly There are people who visit the temple often but their minds become increasingly arrogant They began to distinguish who practiced correctly and who practiced incorrectly They used the Buddha's teachings to judge others They use the precepts as a measure to judge others not themselves A high-ranking monk is very afraid of this They are most afraid of the trap that they are cultivating better than others Because once that thought arises no matter how many prostrations they make they are still going the wrong way So they chose to retreat Not to abandon the Buddha but to return to the Buddha within They practiced in silence It speaks of principles not arguments about right or wrong When they see something against their interests they don't rush to object When meeting people who don't understand they don't try to prove they understand more For them meditation is no longer an extra but a way to let go Stop being proud stop being arrogant stop hoping for recognition Some people wonder if everyone doesn't go to the temple then what is the temple for That question comes from the fear of losing one's place The high-ranking monk did not deny the role of the temple Temples are still very necessary for new practitioners for those who are suffering and for those who need a spiritual anchor But they clearly understand their place on the path They no longer need formalities to maintain their faith because the faith has permeated every aspect of life A very clear sign of a high-level ascetic is that they live very normally They do not wear different clothes or try to appear refined Even from the outside you won't see any signs of their practice But when you get close to them you can feel the lightness Gentle in speech gentle in response gentle even in silence They don't speak much about the Buddha but the way they face suffering is a teaching They also no longer enjoy overly lofty or miraculous sermons It's not because they don't believe but because they have already gone through that phase For them a more important question is: in this situation am I living in accordance with the heart I have seen If the answer is no whether they are sitting in a temple or in the world they continue to cultivate There is a very important point to clarify: not going to the temple does not mean being better than anyone Many people don't go to the temple because they are lazy attached or think they already understand That is not a high level of practice High achievers never consider their actions as the standard for others They do not encourage anyone to leave the temple nor do they judge anyone who leaves They simply live according to their own conscience and respect the conscience of others If by this point you feel a sense of emptiness as if poisoned then you may be in a transitional phase You start to feel tired of the form but not yet strong enough to let go completely You still doubt yourself for not going to the temple like that Am I wrong That question shows you are still very clear-headed The high-ranking official did not immediately answer the question with theory They answer by observing their own minds every day The truth is not in the bell nor in the incense smoke It is not about the words if the mind is still scattered It is about whether you are sufficiently aware to realize that you are angry greedy or afraid And more importantly do you have the courage to not be deceived by those states High-level practitioners are often very afraid of deceiving themselves They fear the feeling of being on a spiritual path but in reality they are only nurturing a more subtle form of ego Therefore they choose the harder path In few forms many aspects little talk about enlightenment many look straight into the darkest corners of themselves few appear many return If you have ever felt that you no longer fit into the noise at the temple gates if you no longer enjoy debates about the dharma No longer interested in showing off what they know or how they maintain their boundaries that doesn't mean you are high or low It only means one thing Inside you are experiencing a real change And this change if not genuine can easily lead you astray But if you are wise enough it will lead you back to the right place where even without a temple without a monk's robe and without anyone watching You can still live without deceiving yourself It is there that the high-ranking monk begins to live with a very special kind of solitude It's not loneliness because there's no one beside you but loneliness because there are fewer people you can truly talk to They are not easily sharing what they see because they know that speaking out may not help and may even cause misunderstandings There are things that if the listener has not experienced words will become arrogant Therefore they remain silent Silence does not mean there is nothing to say But because they don't want to say the wrong thing High-level liars are usually very slick with deception especially deception within themselves They realized that the hardest part of practice was not maintaining the precepts or reciting the sutras for a certain amount of time But rather looking straight into the true motive behind each action Sometimes they ask themselves is it because of faith or because they want to be seen as religious That question is not pleasant It breaks many beautiful images of oneself But if you are not brave enough to ask Even if you wear many layers of asceticism inside you are still an ego seeking a place to stand That is why they are very careful with the environment Not every temple is suitable for every person Not every teaching needs to be heard When the mind is sufficiently sensitive hearing too much becomes noise There are many wonderful Dharma talks with a large audience but for someone with high cultivation It again causes their minds to become agitated because they realize there are too many layers of performance and too many concepts interfering with the teaching They do not blame anyone He silently withdrew Like someone accustomed to a simple diet he naturally could no longer tolerate the strong flavor A very few people understand this People who live a simple life are very fulfilled They still worry about food and clothing they still make a living they still get tired sometimes Sometimes it even gets very sad The difference is that they don't run away from those states They face them directly they don't quickly label this as karma This is the challenge this is the illusion to comfort oneself They remain with their emotions long enough to see its true nature Some people go to the temple to find peace Those who have a high level of cultivation do not seek peace but learn how to not fear uncertainty They understand that peace of mind is not the absence of life but not being carried away by life When you are no longer afraid of life You no longer need to look for a place to hide With them it is no longer a refuge but just a stopover when needed Good if you have it no problem if you don't This is often misunderstood as being detached from the three fears But in reality They are dwelling in the depth of the great compassion The object is no longer a form for worship but wisdom for illumination France is no longer a memory but a principle to live by Monks are no longer an external image but an inner community Where ideas are examined supported and adjusted When these three aspects are in operation within The reliance on natural forms decreases A high-ranking monk rarely speaks I believe They speak I see But that sight was not to prove anything to anyone It was just enough for them to live differently more lightly more slowly and with less reaction When insulted they don't quickly let the impermanence of the moment swallow their anger They acknowledge I am angry And they stay there Observe the anger until it dissolves on its own That is the way simple not showy not lofty but very real There is another paradox the deeper one cultivates the less one speaks of karmic results It is not because they do not believe but because they understand karma It is not something to be used to threaten others or to reassure oneself Karma is the subtle flow of each small choice And if you have clearly seen that then every moment of mindful living is already a transformation of karma There is no need to wait for any consequence to fear or to hope for Many people feel confused when they gradually drift away from the temple They fear they are losing their faith But sometimes this is not a loss of faith but it is turning onto a different section of the same road This section of the road has no hourly bell ringing There is no community to rely on there is no one to confirm that one is on the right path Only absolute honesty with oneself And that is Causing many people to return to the form because they couldn't stand the emptiness The high-ranking official accepted that emptiness They know that if they don't dare to cross this void they will remain stuck on the shore no matter how long they practice Trapped in that emptiness The most subtle layers of clinging emerge The desire to be praised to be recognized to be seen as one who understands the path All of them rise up when there is no longer an environment that nurtures the image And when those things are clearly seen they begin to lose their power Sometimes It was the high priest himself who doubted himself He was unsure if this path was correct But instead of quickly seeking answer from the sacred texts Is there a teacher somewhere they return to observe their own life Have I lessened the suffering I cause others Have I lessened the self-deception Those two questions are more important than any philosophy If the answer is yes then they continue on Even if no one is with them They don't try to push anyone Not out of selfishness but because they understand that everyone has their own rhythm of awakening Speaking too soon is an intrusion Speaking at the wrong time creates karma They wait when the real connection is there when the other person asks from genuine suffering But not out of curiosity or showing off knowledge And when they speak they speak very little but each word comes from life experience It's not from a textbook If you are listening and find yourself gradually becoming like these you may be in the stage of cultivation No longer noisy This stage is not comfortable It makes you feel lost sometimes doubt All the road I once believed in But it is precisely this phase that clearly distinguishes between practicing to hold on and practicing to let go Between practicing to gain And let go The Buddha does not need you to be anywhere The Buddha just needs you to be awake where you are standing And sometimes To do that a high- ranking official must temporarily leave behind the places that once gave them a sense of security to see what happens when there is no place Inside what do we still keep And at the very moment when there is no space between the outside another truth gradually emerges You are not added to life but stripped away Stripped away of the beliefs you once thought were certain Stripped away The image of the monk that I once cherished very much It has lost the sense of security and familiarity that the temple the Dharma assembly or the community once provided Each one brings The high strung person does not seek comfort They seek the truth and the truth is rarely pleasant at first There are phases when they feel alone in life no longer wanting to go to crowded places but being alone makes their heart exposed It becomes annoying The layers of illusion which are subtle begin to become clear no more rituals to hide no more practice to cling to each concept Rising up they all showed their faces At this moment many people turned back to look for their old forms to avoid being seen The high- ranking monk did not They stayed with that feeling They let the discomfort awaken in them something that the scriptures could not fully express Something very strange It's when you get to this point where people no longer have interest in proving anything to anyone They don't need others to understand them Because they themselves are constantlyrealizing they are wrong Every day something old in their perception is shattered Today They saw it as correct Tomorrow They had already seen it Not deep enough Their view was not confined Therefore they were very calm When speaking of truth they know that what they see today may only be correct today Even the highest monks are often deceived Misunderstandings are cold Few interactions less sharing less participation in conversationsabout ethics But inside they are very soft They feel others' pain more quickly and more deeply They just don't rush to comfort with words They know There are sufferings that only need to be endured by simply being next to each other in silence without explanation without preaching The presence of them is awakening It has been a support There are people who go to the temple to find a teacher Those who are deeply committed seek a teacher in every encounter of life A word That hurts them A reaction Anger arises A desire Not fulfilled All All are lessons from the waves They don't need to call it France But they know how to learn from it And they learn They are very serious No small details are overlooked because they understand that the smallest details are where the most hidden secrets lie When one has gone deep enough the high- level practitioner no longer divides life into meditation time and non-meditation time There is no concept of meditation hours and a break You with them is the way they hear a harsh word without reacting immediately It is the way they accept that they are weak But not belittling oneself It's how they do a normal thing without needing to label it as moral Becoming a background state rather than a activity Therefore they are very sensitive to spiritual hype Sensitivity is not because of contempt but because they clearly see The price to pay for that matter Every time they boast about understanding a network of lies Every time they use moral principles to suppress others A gap was created The high-ranking monk no longer wanted to pay that price They would rather be misunderstood as not practicing than I was deceived by myself into thinking I had completed my practice There is another truth that few speak of: those who practice intensely are often very afraid of being respected Because they are proud They fear admiration They fear the position That makes the knowledgeable Because they know Once others Place themselves high They find it hard to look back at the parts of the mind that are not clean They like to be treated as an ordinary person even if slightly marked Because in those situations you are most likely to reveal yourself Many people think that if you cultivate deeply you will always be calm and always bright But in reality The deeper you go the clearer your shadow becomes It's not that the shadow is bigger but the light is stronger so it becomes more visible The one who is full of greed does not stop when he sees himself as still wanting still angry still attached They stop when they do not see because they do not see Then they could not move forward and because they clearly saw they dared not rush to say that they had overcome anything At some point The one who is full of devotion realizes that the Buddha does not come to make them into a different person but to help them see their wholeness This person is good enough and bad enough awake enough and crazy enough It's not to erase the human part but to not let that human part be erased causing it to happen unconsciously When they realize this they no longer hate their moments of weakness they just observe more carefully They no longer They fear the path because they do not understand that the path is not a narrow road with barriers The path is absolute honesty With the experience of life When you are still honest you are in the path even if you are in the temple or in the world reciting scriptures or in silence And when you start using the mask to hide the truth inside no matter where you are you have already gone off track There are days whe e person who attains the highest level does nothing at all does not recite is not kind does not read only lives but in that life every movement is seen ey know when they are in a hurry when they are when they are avoiding when they are when they are self-pitying without judging without rushing to ed They only saw and that seeing itself did not interfere gradually changing the internal structure If someone asked them "So what is cultivation " What for Perhaps they will remain silent for a long time Not because they don't have answer but because every answer carries a risk Make it simple simplify a very complicated journey But if forced to speak they might just say one thing to make it easier Suffer less and reduce others' sufferingincreasingly subtle ways And if you pay close attention you will see People who are high in self-discipline do not strive to be correct they live authentically true to themselves within their limits true to the times they have not yet overcome true to everything The doubts about the path entangled in that truth are the foundation for everything to be washed away not perfection not that beautiful image Maybe at some point they will return to the temple not to search but to express gratitude for the place where they who carried me when I was weak the gratitude for the form that helped me get through the early stages but at that time the temple was no longer a place to cling to It's just a meeting point then leaving very gently And if you are in the stage of hearing these things but in your heart Just familiar and just scary perhaps you are standing before a door a door that does not open through ritual nor open through anything else With faith borrowed it opens with a question very direct with yourself a question that if not enough honest you will avoid It has been a very long time and that question is not at all subtle or hidden nor does it have any lofty or profound aspect it is very worldly and very mundane It's very annoying in this moment am I deceiving myself the high tension person not finding a quick answer They left the question hanging in their mind to seep into every smallest daily activity when speaking a pleasant word They wonder if they speak out of love or out of fear of losing their image by staying silent They wonder if they stay silent because they are awake or because they are avoiding it There is no fixed answer Only continuous and unyielding observation leads them to realize something that scares many people I don't make myself better in a social sense but more exposed than before my own self those subtle habits Each one was covered by doctrine gradually revealing the desire to be recognized being seen as deep being different standing outside the crowd to feel I am taller than the person who is tense and anxious looking straight at those things and not defendingthemselves they know if more a name a spiritual To take shelter is still not wide enough there was a period when they began to doubt everything they once believed to be right not just doubting things but doubted how they had understoodthe object of doubt the familiar meditationpatterns they realized that many The truth I once held tightly was actually justconcepts borrowed to ease the anxiety when it was no longer there They grasp those concepts their minds are in turmoil and within that turmoil the new perceptionbegins to deepen The higher one 's cultivation the less they rush to label every event as a lesson They let events be events If they are painful they accept them as pain If they are losses they accept them as loss en it is loss not usingimpermanence to suppressemotions not using karma to make sadness numb they allow it I feel whole because they know avoiding emotions is a subtle form of ignoranceonly when you feel deeply enough Feelings new self- destruction from there they no longer desire to heal others not because of lack of self but because they see very clearly Healingcannot be forced each person must go through their own pain in their own time and too early intervention can be harmful Even though good deedssometimes only prolong thesuffering of the person who is in pain and has highaspirations They let others reflect on themselves in that presence if there is a connection there are times when they themselves also feel they have fallen from grace and become angry still sad still tired but the difference is they are no longer panicked when they see those states appear they don't label them as "attachment" but why is it still like this They understand that the self is not the illusion not the illusion that has passed but the one not led astray by illusion in unconsciousness when illusion arises they know they know that it has already changed Don't force it disappear the high tension person doesn 't chase experiences spiritualstrange doesn't seek The special feeling during meditation regardless of whether one sees light or hears sounds is not because these things do not exist But because they understand that all experiences are phenomena that come and go clinging to them only creates another layer of illusion a more subtle form of ordinary ego They chose a very simple way they don 't stick around when interacting with others they don't use Buddhist terms when talking they use their own words listening listening without rushing to correct listening without rushing to conclude listening to understand the other person is at not To prove that I understand more than they think after hearing it they might say nothing but the person across from me would feel lighter not because they were given anything The advice which for the first time was heard completely often makes the high- energy person very aware of the energy they carry They know that a person has many meanings but a disturbed mind can make others more confused so they take care of the inner calm Before opening their mouths they didn't see it as a matter of moralresponsibility but as respect for others when their hearts were not at peace they chose Peace when the mind is sufficiently peaceful a very short sentence is enough to have a changequietly emerge they begin to believe in direct experience More than an explanation not a lecture no matter how much it calms them but an afternoon of observing one's breath amidst a busy life Let them have a lot they clearly see where they are swollen where to grasp where they can trade no need to call the name of the method no need to explain just see and adjust they no longer fear moving slowly no longer compare themselves to anyone no longer wonder where they are on the path because they understand The road has no milestones to measure only the truth in each step walking slowly but clearly is better than walking fast but blindly and if today the blind admit the blind are not pretending and at times the high priest is pulled back into the old cycles Work familyresponsibility they do not see that as an obstacle to practice on the contrary they see it as the deepest place of practice because there All real reactions are revealed there is no meditative space no quiet place to hide no beautiful posture to rely on Only the collisions directly into the balance and they learn from it bit by bit a thing very few realize the high tension Don't expect them to cultivate because they hope for a day they will reach a state where hope for them is a form of projection that pulls the mind Leave the present they stay with the strange weaving although the strange weaving was not beautiful not safe not bright they believe in the accumulation The province's awareness not believing in a sudden jump if someone observes them long enough they will see they change very slowly ot sudden not dramatic but very durable less reactive to things that once hurt them less need for explanation than themselves It tries to control others more than those changes which are not noisy so few people notice them but it's precisely those quiet changes ewly shows that you are touching the root and then there are times when they sit very still during a very ordinary day without feeling anything special without peace Shine brightly without wisdom overflowing just a single fully present without lacking without excess without needing a name without needing Keep it and in that very normal moment they knew they were living according to what they had seen even though no one knew and no one praised No one certifies such moments which do not happen often and the high priest does not try to keep them because they understood very clearly one thing Everything that you want to keep will become a burden even peace even deep insight even the feeling of being on the right path just need to start thinking immediately there is a self and wherever there is a self there is already far from the truth that is happeningtherefore The person was very alert to the feeling that they had understood but they did not deny their knowledge yet they knew that knowledge could easily turn into something else The shelter they let go of the knowledge that was used when needed then put down not living in it not taking it as a foundation I have a distinct identity because they have seen too many people stuck in the place where I am the one who understands the way and from there every contact is colored more than less than high and low the person who is high in cultivation often goes through very dry stages no inspiration for cultivation not wanting to read Don't want to listen = Don't want to speak = Many people = Fear this stage = Think they have lost heart = But for those = Who go deep enough = This is = This is very real when all motivations are borrowed and gradually only remains the question if not for the feeling of safety not for meaning Not because of hope then why would I stay with awareness can I stay not for anything but just because I don't want to deceive myself In that dry phase they still lived still worked still took care of their family still faced very worldly matters but no longer Add a spiritual interpretation on top without forcing it so that everything becomes a law that naked truth which reveals genuine reactions And they learn from their own reactions without needing to name them a very clear point in the high- minded person is that they no longer rush to correct themselves When they see a bad habit a bad reaction they don't immediately suppress or promise to change they look they look long enough To see the mechanism of it in operation to see where it comes from what nourishes it and how it exists through what fears when it is clearly seen Many orders are wasted no need to fight no need to force they don 't see it as failure when they fall behind because they understand It is not a straight upward path but a spiral movement with lessons that must be revisited at a deeper more profound level If you are not clear people will think you have returned to the old place but if you look closely you will see that you are no longer the same person as before old situation slower reaction lighter or less self-deception that's all already strange sound people with high tension very few When talking about the goal of practice they do not aim for enlightenment as a destination because they have clearly seen that all notions of a destination exis during the time when what needs to be seen is always here now when the mind is directed towards the future the present is forgotten and practice But if you forget the present no matter how long you go it's just an illusion they live with a soft vigilance not tense not letting go a gentle but continuousattention when the mind is running they know when the mind is clinging when the mind is avoiding without blaming Do not praise only know this awareness of knowing not judging makes the mind gradually less self- centered and when there is no longer a need to be self-centered The layers that are fully covered only then fall down there are times when the higher one cultivates the more one realizes that one no longer needs to be right as before every time there is a debate They need to defend their point of view need to prove that their perception is reasonable but the more they cultivate the more they realize the right and wrong in the dialogue It is only relative what matters more is whether speaking out will ease your pain and that of the other person if not they are willing to stay silent Or admit that I'm not sure I'm right not because I'm weak but because I no longer need to feed my ego knowledge they gradually realize a truth Hard to accept not everyone needs or wants to be awake and that's not wrong everyone has their own rhythm their own rhythm of sleep and wakefulness forcing someone to be awake when they are not ready it only creates more conflict the higher the cultivation the more respect this they do not see themselves as responsible Wake others up they only live that way for their own presence without making others suffer more when facing the suffering of their relatives They don't rush to use the doctrine to silence him they don' t speak everything is fate it will pass they know those words It only has an effect when the listener is ready but when they are not it only adds a layer of loneliness over their pain instead They stay sometimesjust sitting beside listening not fixing not explaining that complete presence Even without the title it is one of the most profound manifestations of cultivation those who are highly cultivated do not seek to live they practice the path they do not force I have to be tolerant be tolerant in every situation when I cannot be tolerant they admit when I cannot let go they know I am holding This honesty is more important than maintaining a gentle image because they understand that true conduct does not come from suppression but from The clear perception is so intense that no old reaction is needed anymore there are days when they feel very small small before the vastness of life small before things Beyond control and they do not find a way to grow up to deal with it they accept the smallness and in this acceptance there is a humility Naturally appearing is not humble because it is learned but humble because it is aware of its own limitations and from that They stop judging stop being certain stop being rigid if viewed from the outside the journey of the person high tension very hard to identify no sign visible ot a necklace not a ritual a mark but if looked at from the inside it is a continuous string of letting go of what once was considered oneself Every time you let go it's not loud just a little lighter and those little moments continue for five months creating something A different life can come even at the end of life they still dare not say they have completed their cultivation dare not acknowledge themselves as understanding the Way they only know tha I have stopped deceiving myself more than before stopped making others suffer more stopped needing to cover up more and for them that is enough To continue walking in silence in the midst of life normally without anyone witnessing and even within the silence the high-pitched chant continues They gradually came to understand a very deep truth that before they had only heard by hand the path of cultivation did not take them away from worldly life but instead brought them closer return to lifecompletely return not as a role status or responsibility but return with each mome It is happening now without adding or subtracting before they lived while their hearts were elsewhere either in memory or in hope Now they live here not for an ideal but because there is nowhere else to run from the high-pressure people who are beginning to become clear ow the mind operates is like an old habit a careless word spoken by someone else instantly triggers a defensivereaction How a small failure ignites the feeling of uselessness how a compliment sparks the desire to maintain the image from the pas Those reactions occur very quickly almost unconsciously Now a very thin gap appears not enough to control but enough to see and it is that gap that changes the entire game they don't use that gap to become better people the eyes of others they use it to not be carried away sometimes they still react still speak a sentence that's not good still do a thing ot yet complete but then they clearly saw no self- justification no blame no circumstances no labeling due to karma just saw And that sight quietly adjusted the next times without effort the high- pitched singer gradually stopped searching for words to confirm the spirit Previously they really needed someone to say that they were on the right track needed a lecture that touched the right emotions needed a word that made them feel seeing themselves being understood now they accept being misunderstood even their own inability to fully understand giving themselves completely and in the state of That uncertainty made them softer more open There was something very subtle happening they were no longer afraid of inner conflict Previously they thought that being a monk meant being consistent clear and knowing who you are Now they see that people are multi-layered and multi-faceted Many contradictions wanting to let go yet wanting to hold on being awake yet dreaming and they are not in a hurry to resolve those contradictions through theory They live with it observe it let it teach itself what it needs to learn the higher one cultivates the less they seek to escape suffering in the conventional sense They don't want a day that is no longer sad no longer painful they just want to no longer suffer to have suffering not pile on top of suffering to not blame themselves when they are sad do not hate yourself when you are weak do not add a layer of resistance to the natural experience of life when sadness comes they are sad when happiness comes They are happy but do not build a house there there are times when they realize they have practiced before out of fear fear of impermanence fear of losing control fear There is no meaning and it is precisely when they clearly see it that they no longer need to use the veil to cover it and the veil at this time is no longer a barrier But it is courage to face life with courage to look straight into uncertainty to live with courage without needing assurance the higher one's cultivation Also learned how not to make one' s own suffering the center of the universe before every difficulty was felt very heavy very personal Now they see suffering as a part of the human experience in general not to be dismissed but to not isolate oneself within it When seeing others suffer they don't compare they don't say "I have been like that too " they just realize "Ah this is suffering " and that realization creates a deep empathy very quiet they gradually let go of the need to live correctly according to their true self because they saw their true self always changing today seeing this is real tomorrow already sees it's just another layer instead of desperately searching for the right self they choose Don't cling to any ego and in that non- attachment a flexibility arises that allows them to be many things in many situations But without needing to label myself there was a phase where the high priest lost interest in big questions and stopped asking them Who am I What does life mean Not because those questions are unimportant but because they only resonate when answered By experience not by thought they let the question fade into life and life answers in a very quiet way through the way They face each small thing they no longer seek comfort in the notion that everything has a reason there are things that happen o need for a reason to occur there are losses carrying no message and they acceptit without attaching meaning To endure not to turn pain into a lesson immediately there are some pains that just need to be lived fully and then close on their own The highly cultivated person rarely speaks about the future of the path they are taking they do not make long-term cultivation plans Don't set limits must achieve they know that each day is enough for that day tomorrow may be more tired more difficult they don't look at it That was a failure because they used a linear standard to measure an non-linear journey If you ask them if they believe in Buddhism They might smile very slightly not because they don't believe but because the question no longer resides in the conceptual level of Buddha for them It is not the object of faith but the clear-mindedness that is operating when awake the Buddha is there when asleep the Buddha is absent very simple very straightforward no need for further explanation and if one day you meet someone who lives very normally doesn't talk much about religion They do not appear in crowded places they do not leave any spiritual imprint they are not special but when you are near them you slow down Ease up be less defensive need less to prove then it's very likely you are standing near someone who has come a long way On the path the monastery is so far that no one knows where I have gone and the journey continues without an end without a name No record only the return going back repeating with a very simple thing seeing not clinging not running in each one The day of downfall in every breath no one witnessed in every moment if not awake it would pass like many others Another moment and in those moments which seemed very ordinary thatascetic high began to realize a truth that would Just relieved and shivering no cultivator exists fixed is the thing they once called "I am cultivating " just a string of moments of waking up being in a dream being in a lotus when awake do you see when dreaming you forget no one owns that wakefulness They come when the conditions are right they leave when the conditions fade they realize this they stop no longer identifying themselves with the role of a practitioner cultivation occurs But not the monks who are attached to the position they no longer fear losing it before they just needed a hot reaction Once they made a mistake they blamed themselves What kind of person are they now They look different They see oh it's just starting and just need to see it like that I am no longer lost completely I don't need to punish myself I don 't need to rebuild the image I don 't need to go back to a versio Betterjust return to what is a high-ranking monk also gradually realized the clarity is not a special state But it's a very relaxed attitude not avoiding the truth happening in the heart knowing how to be happy when happy and knowing how to be bored when bored I know when to get tired when I want to be loved I know I am wanting to be loved not hiding not concealing the truth of honesty This recklessness is the real cause of the difficulty in cultivation because there is no longer a place to hold them and they also clearly see that there are many moral principles Each helped them stand firm in the early stages but now has become an obstacle not because it's immoral but because they have used It's too familiar to avoid real emotions every time sad say impermanence every time angry say karma every time lost say cause and effect those words Gradually losing its vitality the high-pitched tension forced them to put them down touch directly the feeling of defeat unexplained and right there e new era has become a wave of movement again for a while they found themselves as if stripped bare in life without a spiritual garme To be bold when meetingdifficult things no words are left to comfort oneself only a very human very fragile person remains It is very uncertain if not solid enough this section is very easy to make people return to the old form where the answer is ready There is a community that feels safe people who are high in tension stay because they are not better but because they have no other choice But not self- sabotaging they also began to realize that loneliness was an indispensable part of this path not loneliness Because no one is by my side and because no one can walk this path for me There are things that cannot be shared not because they are lofty but because if spoken they will be misunderstood or turned into a concept So they keep it not for themselves but to prevent it from losing its life the high priest is very few when feeling I belong to no group they no longer associate me with any school sect or specific community not because I reject it But because they see that all connections are at risk of creating an identity and an identity always brings defense so they choose separation They are flexible when they need to learn they learn when they need to leave they leave without taking along a sense of betrayal or loyalty a very important thing Subtlety is they no longer try to maintain the mind of the past they were very afraid of losing the mindfulness afraid of being pulled away afraid of the cycle of imagination now they understand that Keep it is a form of mind that sometimes is clear and sometimes is not their task is not to maintain a state but to realize when the state changes The realization that softness is not rigid and because it is not rigid it is durable The higher one cultivates the less one sees tranquility as a measure There are days when the mind is very calm there are days when the mind is very restless They don 't evaluate which day is a good day for practice They only ask "Today am I sufficiently mindful " To not make it worse if there is even if the heart is moved that day will still be complete if not even if sitting still all day they will not deceive themselves I believe that I have lived a disciplined life they also no longer fear the questions without answers that once troubled them now They leave the question there as a friend who accompanies without rushing to answer without needing to conclude because they see life not operating By conclusion by experiencecontinuously the main question then the answer falls naturally and when it falls it doesn' t need to be kept sometimes They no longer seek peace not becausethey do not value peace but because they see peace You cannot be pursued every time you are pursued it is every time you move away from peace like a consequence of a mistake when the mind no longer holds back And when it arrived they didn't see it as an achievement they knew it would go and they weren't sad about it and they no longer feared it I am not good enough the concept of good and bad gradually becomes crude instead there is more subtlety am I being honest with my experience Now if they are not honest even if they have a belly they will continue even if very beautiful they will stop to look not to delude themselves with superficial progress if someone asks so ultimately what is the difference between a high-ranking official and they would probably the most honest answer is tha Nothing much different still eat still sleep still sad still worried just different in that they believe less in their own story less consistent With more emotion being pulled less without knowing you are being pulled and that less being more over time creates a very different life They do not live to become an ideal version they live to see clearly who they are and not run away When they are running they know they are running when they stop they know they are stopping no embellishment needed no need for cover no need for anyone to certify it And this journey continues not in a straight line but in the rhythm of life sometimes very brightsometimes very dim bu The more it goes on the less space they have when blurred because they know as long as they can still see they are fading the light has not yet been lost And as long as it remains honest with that the path will keep opening up swiftly without a signpost without applause But it's very real and the deeper you go the more the monk realizes a paradox that is very hard to put into words that the monk does not make life lighter right away But sometimes it makes the heart heavier heavier because it starts to see clearly the illusions that once protected me to see clearly the habits Lie to yourself to live in peace see clearly the wounds that have never been named before cultivation people suffer without knowing Why when one enters the path of practice one suffers because one knows too clearly where the suffering comes from there are very long nights when the practitioner is exhausted can't sleep because of loud illusions but because the mind is too quiet in that silence each memory rises up each word said Always made me hurt every choice missed every time accidentally hurt others was harmed no one left to blame no more situation o avoid the mark only oneself remains bare and exposed before the truth and that very moment if not strong enough the person will be overwhelmed It is very easy to be confused and wonder what the purpose of practice is when the more you practice the more you realize your imperfections but few understand that this is not a sign of retreat but it's a sign that you're on the right track like a dusty room that after a long time without cleaning when you turn the light on the dust becomes more visible It's not because of the dust that it arises but because before that we had never seen it The mind is the same The light of right mindfulness does not create suffering it only causes suffering They appear as a person who is very different no longer enthusiastic no longer argumentative no longer passionate but with the fact tha prove they are right no longer worried to be understood by others there are times misunderstood spoken about incorrectly attributed to things It's not me who is silent it's the other person who remains quiet not because of fear but because they clearly see that each person can only understand others through their level of awareness eir own arguing also does not make them understand more only makes their mind move more also from that the person who is tense or is said to you approach with kindness speak less They are hard to approach but few realize that inside them is a very quiet process daily taming the mind daily observing each thought Rise up then subside they no longer live by impulsive emotions but they are not indifferent either on the contrary they feel deeply but they just don't let it show Feelings carry me away a unique loneliness of a person who is not lonely because no one is by their side But it's lonelinessbecause there are no longer many people who can go at the same frequency of stories more than losing showing off and gradually becoming I felt like an outsider in the crowd many people thought it was arrogance but in reality it was just that I no longer felt part of it feeling that they belong to the old swirling cycles the ones who once sought miracles no longer desire them they no longer wait for a day of enlightenment Shine brightly not in wait life suddenlygently they understood very clearly I am not to avoid suffering but to face suffering With a different mindset suffering still comes loss still happensimpermanence still operates the only difference is that the mind is no longer panicked as before No longer asking why it's me silently watching everything come and go as a natural part of life sometimes even the one who is exhausted They also doubted themselvesdoubted the path they were taking doubted what they believed in but then they learned how not to jump to conclusions Don't rush justobserve just move forward step by step very slowlybecause theyunderstand cultivation It's not the journey to become a perfect person but the journey to see yourself more clearly every day and perhaps the hardest thing of all The true path does not lie in rules nor in meditation nor in knowledge but in living in the world and fulfilling one's duties My duty is to remain but not to let myself be swept away to still love but not to be caught in the eyes to still feel pain but not to blame to still move forward Even though you know this path is not easy if you have read this far and feel your heart sinking seeing your own reflection somewhere in every word en perhaps you are also walking on a very similar path to the quiet not dazzling path that is deep enough to force us Have to face yourself and sometimesjust realizing that is already a step forward and if there is a word To close all the things just shared that is the path of austerity never meant for indulgence But always for those who are sincere with themselves without needing to go fast without needing to go like anyone else just needing each day Cut back a littledaydreaming cut back a littlecompetition running away from yourself that 's it enough precious thank you He spent time listening and staying until the last minutes wishing you on your spiritual journey to always keep a clear mind With a steadfast heart and a gentle heart enough to understand life understand people and understand oneself I hope that these sharing can become a small support to know when tired that you are not alone on the path you are taking
