Let go, Move on (Between Ignorance and Enlightenment) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

English 176, (16 B/W Illustrations)About the BookNon-attachment, the letting go of our desires, is a central teaching of Buddhism. As long as we crave, we suffer. We need to learn to let go of our desires in order to eliminate suffering that results from craving. The truth is simple to understand, but nowhere near easy to practice. As Venerable Master Hsing Yun points out in this book, it is not just attachment to things, but even to our own views that prevents us from making progress."Of all the sickness in the mind", he writes, "none is worse than wrong views". Prejudice, panic, envy and moodiness are contrasted with respect, harmony, broadmindedness, tolerance, and flexibility. By developing right views, the Master says, we can learn to "view all sentiment being with compassion", and practice the "Three Gods" of saying good words, doing good deeds, and thinking good thoughts. By cultivating our speech, our bodies, and our minds, we can begin to rise above our own concerns and reach out to others with compassion and loving kindness.Through simple acts-asking others "How are you?" or offering something to eat; calling a troubled friend to offer encouragement; listening to the problems of other-we can let go of our attachments, of our greed and ignorance, and move on into lives of contentment and ease.ForewordSince the inauguration of the daily paper, the Merit Times in Taiwan on April 1, 2001, I have been writing an article each day for the column "Between Ignorance and Enlightenment."
