Keeping Your Mind Unmoved Is the Greatest Obstacle Remover
Our biggest obstacle is our attachment, so don’t think too much. Only then will your mind get a bit more peaceful.
Our biggest obstacle is our attachment, so don’t think too much. Only then will your mind get a bit more peaceful.
Our tendency to easily get nervous about anything is because we have points of attachments in our hearts.
I will learn to keep all these practices
Untainted by thoughts of the eight worldly concerns.
May I recognize all things as like illusions,
In brief, directly or indirectly,
I will offer help and happiness to all my mothers,
And secretly take upon myself
Even when someone I have helped,
Or in whom I have placed great hopes
Mistreats me very unjustly,
I will view that person as a true spiritual teacher.
Whenever someone out of envy
Does me wrong by attacking or belittling me,
I will take defeat upon myself,
And give the victory to others.
Whenever I see ill-natured beings,
Or those overwhelmed by heavy misdeeds or suffering,
I will cherish them as something rare,
As though I’d found a priceless treasure.
In my every action, I will watch my mind,
And the moment destructive emotions arise,
I will confront them strongly and avert them,
Since they will hurt both me and others.
Whenever I’m in the company of others,
I will regard myself as the lowest among all,
And from the depths of my heart
Cherish others as supreme.
By thinking of all sentient beings
As more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel
For accomplishing the highest aim,
I will always hold them dear.
