Good morning everyone today I would like to share with everyone
how we can practice our mindfulness when we're facing the suffering
As I already explained earlier at other video clip what are the eight sufferings
As these eight sufferings are: birth, aging, sickness, death, suffering being apart from our loved ones,
suffering we have to be with the one we hate, suffering of we cannot get whatever we want,
suffering of we have these five elements of body and these eight types of suffering are with us all the
time. Some people may think if I face something as horrible in my life the simple way just I commit
suicide I finish this term of life and I will be no more suffering but the answer is no why is that
because as I already explained we have six realms of sentient being is
continuous being birth and death until we are able to liberate ourselves attain the Buddhahood once
we attain the Buddhahood there is no rebirth there is no death is already enlightened
so until we are enlightened our Buddhahood we never be free of this being birth and death
so commit suicide is not concluded suffering in order we can liberate this suffering
we need actually practice to free the suffering from our own practices
how to do that the way is simple we need to practice our mind
we need to practice our body we need to practice our speech we need to use our body, speech, and mind
to create a good karma, good body karma, good speech karma, good mind activity karma
so by creating all the positive karma we are sure in the future term of life we always have a better
condition than today because we know what we have right now is the past term of life the Karma
we cannot change the past but we can create for the better future
but in ultimate truth of Buddhism philosophy is not means the bad karma we create in the past
cannot be modified. In Buddhist practice the past bad behavior the bad Karma
can through repentance be purified by true compassion and practice but in the daily practice how can we
let those suffering feeling go away from our heart from our mind activity you can practice a very
simple way you can do a practice of acknowledging this suffering for instance when we've experienced
the physical suffering being sick we are having a fever when we having this suffering you can
actually simply to put all your awareness on this suffering of you have a high fever
you just need to put aware your mind to observe this feeling of suffering sometimes the suffering
of this fever will get extremely strong sometimes get better you can just be aware of these changes
of the suffering on the moment you are able to be aware of your own suffering you already
step yourself out of this suffering on just that single moment of your mental state of suffering.
If you can continue to practice that and you are aware of that you actually is able to
separate with your own sensation your inner side of your feeling you are able to separate your body
suffering with you are feeding this suffering you can try to practice that and sometimes you also
can combination with our breathing meditation instead of you put your awareness on the
level of your suffering itself you can put your awareness on the breathe breathe in breathe out
breathe in
breathe out
breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out
breathe in breathe out you can practice this as your mindful activities
once you transform your mind from the suffering to your mindful activity as
pretty much your mind already not pay attention to those suffering you already
practice your awareness on the breathing meditation if you can combine this meditation you also can
practice yourself from any type of suffering you may encounter on your daily basis I wish by
ending on my sharing you have a good technique to practice when you have any type of suffering in
your daily life I wish you enjoyed and hope next time you'll join me again. Thank you.
