Good morning everyone Today I would like to share with
everyone was the Six Paramitas
The Six Paramitas actually is a quality
conduct of being Bodhisattva. As we already learned a lot of Bodhisattva story,
why those Bodhisattva is able to become Bodhisattva
actually they start just like an ordinary human first
but they practice six Paramitas: generosity, precepts, tolerance,
diligence, meditation, and great wisdom. These Six Paramitas
actually we also can categorize as benefit others, the self-
cultivate, and liberation. So these are very important
because without these Six Paramitas' practice
we cannot actually practice starting from ordinary human
practitioners to Bodhisattva. Without accumulate all the quality and
the conduct of the Bodhisattva, we will never able to
attain the Buddhahood. So some people must very curious about
why we should attain the Buddhahood but actually Buddha already told us
all the sentient beings including you including myself including the squirrel
in the forest. They all have equivalent the same
Dharmakaya. This Dharmakaya, the Buddha nature is already within
with us all the time but we never realized that
we never discovered that because our daily mind activity
our daily behavior is all full with ignorance, the judgment,
attachment so could not actually practice
all the virtues of Bodhisattva. So that's why we need practice
and actually how to practice that is starting from
being a good practitioner as a human practitioner so we need actually
starting from taking a refuge vow become
a student of the Buddha and want to make inspiration wishes
to learn from the Buddha. Once we become the student
of the Buddha take a refuge and we need actually
taking the precepts with the five precepts with these five precepts
that will help us not hurting others not harming other beings that already
cover the first two Paramitas generosity
and the precepts generosity actually is easy to relate you can
giving by joy giving the food
and releasing other beings suffering by not killing the animals
So the generosity precepts these two Paramitas actually
is benefit others. That's a very important practice of
these two Paramitas the third Paramita is tolerance
why this is so important because when we practice the Bodhisattva path
sometimes even though we want to liberate being
suffering we still may be mistreated so if we cannot practice the tolerance
still continuous walk on this cultivation path of being a Buddhist
sometimes you will just give up because all the challenges
we faced the fourth Paramita is diligence the diligence
is means we cannot get lazy We need always continuous and diligently
to having all the being in our heart practice our great compassion raising
the true Bodhicitta that Bodhicitta
is a driving us to attain the Buddhahood because of this
great compassion because of this Bodhicitta
we will never give up on any being. So diligence also important
so the tolerance and diligence these are self cultivate
and the on the fifth Paramita is Samadhi practice
meditation Paramita this meditation Paramita
and the six Paramita wisdom they are interconnected
because without actual self-reflect meditate to attain Samadhi, our mind
cannot actually in the still and the peace mind we cannot transform
our ordinary mind to the Bodhisattva mind
So meditation and the Paramita wisdom
is always cooperating together this wisdom Paramita means
wisdom means enlightened one's wisdom is mean Buddha's wisdom this wisdom
include selfless great compassion Bodhicitta all the vultures we
described earlier including the six Paramitas of virtue
they are all embodied together. so without this actually the Sixth
Paramita wisdom cannot actually manage rest of
the five Paramita so these Six Paramita wisdom is the main boss
to command the rest five Paramitas because without full realized view
of the emptiness you cannot fulfill actually the complete Bodhisattva path
because Bodhisattva path is not only one term of life
is infinite terms of a life a lot of hardship a lot of difficult
challenges without these six Paramitas the six qualities of practice
Bodhicitta path we cannot become a Bodhisattva without
having this Bodhisattva's true virtue we cannot actually attain the Buddhahood
so that is also depend on origination they are all depend on one and the other
cannot be separately existence So that is a very important view to
actually practice the Six Paramitas
and I wish by ending of my sharing today you also can realize from an
ordinary human practitioner to Bodhisattva actually the key to open this gate
is Bodhicitta is a great compassion I wish by ending of my sharing you have
more knowledge about this whole path
of attain the Buddhahood how this look like I hope next time you will join
me for another sharing thank you
