and trust is something that we
cultivate
we should continue with
and it is based on our
experience
to trust is to
believe
to rely on something
and
[Music]
we have to rely only on
evidence
something that is evident
suppose you talk about trusting
the practice
trusting the dharma
do we trust the dharma
can we count on our practice
sometimes you have
doubt
about your practice about what you learn
from the dharma
but that doubt
does not mean that
is not exactly something negative
because some doubt can help you to get
deeper
and to get a
more profound understanding
so doubt can be helpful
now can be
positive thing
so if there is a doubt
we have to breathe
and to recognize that as it is
and do not
right away
consider it to be something negative
and then tradition
we say that the greater is the doubt the
greater is the enlightenment
and that is the first thing you have to
do
and then we have to
to learn
how to
recognize the evidence
and to
establish our trust
like the practice of mindful
breathing
someone tried to convince to you that
mindful breathing is good
it can help you in love
but
you don't have to believe him right away
you have to put into practice and to see
whether
it truly can help you and that is what
the buddha has said
don't believe right away in something
even
that something has been said by
a famous teacher
even that something is written in the
holy scripture
that's what the buddha said
when you hear something
beautiful
when you have
learn to put into practice
and if it works for you
and if you see that it works for another
person you can
trust you can believe in it
and that is the statement of the buddha
in a sutra called kalama sutra
the buddha was talking to a group of
young people
of the kalama
clan
they asked him
what to believe
because many teachers have visited them
and
all of them said that their teaching and
the practice is the best
so the buddha said that don't believe
right away in anything even if it is
said by
a great picture
even it is recorded in the holy
scripture
you have to base on evidence
like a scientist
so if you practice mindful breathing
and you persevere in the practice you
will learn from it
you find out that
the practice of my breathing
can help increase your health
can help you
recognize
the
[Music]
conditions of happiness you have
can help you handle
a painful emotion
a painful feeling
in beginning you might not be able to do
it right away
but you have to try really to practice
and you find out that
the practice works
and you have trust in the practice
and when
you have uh
trust the practice you trust yourself
because it's you who have
done the practice
and you say i am capable
of doing that
and when you see a person who suffers
practice
the fourth mindfulness training say
something lose something to help him or
her suffer less
and you try to do several times
and one day you see that it works
so you believe in the practice of
forward mindfulness training and you
believe in yourself you can do it
you have the capacity to make one person
suffer less
you have the capacity
to make you suffer less
and trust is built in that way
experiencing
practicing
and we know that in principle our
ancestors have
handed down to us many good things many
good seats
it is
for us to discover these good things and
allow them to
to manifest
the seeds of
understanding
the system of
joy
the seeds of
forgiveness
the seed of compassion are all in us
and
we hear the buddha say
that we have these good things in us
but we have to practice in order to
really recognize them as existing
and sometimes they have manifested in
the past
and if we practice well they will
continue to manifest
better in the future
and that is the way
to cultivate trust
do
