Therefore, it is a subject that should be approached with the pure thought, \u201cMay I gain enlightenment in order to be of greatest benefit to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If we want to attain the state of the full enlightenment of buddhahood as opposed to the lesser enlightenment of an\u00a0<em>arhat<\/em>, nirvana, our innermost practice must be cultivation of bodhicitta. If meditation on emptiness is our innermost practice, we run the risk of falling into nirvana instead of gaining buddhahood. This teaching is given in the saying, \u201cWhen the father is bodhicitta and the mother is wisdom, the child joins the caste of the buddhas.\u201d In ancient India, children of inter-caste marriages would adopt the caste of the father, regardless of the caste of the mother. Therefore, bodhicitta is like the father: if we cultivate bodhicitta, we enter the caste of the buddhas.<\/p>\n<p>Although bodhicitta is the principal cause of buddhahood, bodhicitta as the father must unite with wisdom, or meditation on emptiness, as the mother in order to produce a child capable of attaining buddhahood. One without the other does not bring full enlightenment\u2014even though bodhicitta is the essential energy that produces buddhahood, throughout the stages of its development it should be combined with meditation on emptiness. In the\u00a0<em>Perfection of Wisdom Sutras<\/em>, where the Buddha spoke most extensively on emptiness, we are constantly reminded to practice our meditation on emptiness within the context of bodhicitta.<\/p>\n<p>However, the spiritual effects of receiving teachings on bodhicitta are quite limited if we lack a certain spiritual foundation. Consequently most teachers insist that we first cultivate various preliminary practices within ourselves before approaching this higher precept. If we want to go to university, we must first learn to read and write. Of course, while merely hearing about meditation on love, compassion and bodhicitta does leave a favorable imprint on our mental continuum, for the teaching to really produce a definite inner transformation, we first have to meditate extensively on preliminaries such as the perfect human rebirth, impermanence and death, the nature of karma and samsara, refuge and the higher trainings in ethics, meditation and wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>What precisely is bodhicitta? It is the mind strongly characterized by the aspiration, \u201cFor the sake of all sentient beings I must attain the state of full enlightenment.\u201d While it\u2019s easy to repeat these words to ourselves, bodhicitta is much deeper than that. It is a quality we cultivate systematically within our mind. Merely holding the thought \u201cI must attain enlightenment for the sake of benefiting others\u201d in mind without first cultivating its prerequisite causes, stages and basic foundations will not give birth to bodhicitta. For this reason, the venerable Atisha once asked, \u201cDo you know anybody with bodhicitta not born from meditation on love and compassion?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The benefits of bodhicitta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What are the benefits of generating bodhicitta? If we know the qualities of good food, we\u2019ll attempt to obtain, prepare and eat it. Similarly, when we hear of the great qualities of bodhicitta we\u2019ll seek to learn the methods and practices for generating it.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate benefit of generating bodhicitta within our mind-stream is that we enter the great vehicle leading to buddhahood and gain the title of bodhisattva, a child of the buddhas. It does not matter what we look like, how we dress, how wealthy or powerful we are, whether or not we have clairvoyance or miraculous powers, or how learned we are, as soon as we generate bodhicitta we become bodhisattvas; regardless of our other qualities, if we do not have bodhicitta we are not bodhisattvas. Even a being with bodhicitta who takes rebirth in an animal body is respected by all the buddhas as a bodhisattva.<\/p>\n<p>The great sages of the lesser vehicle possess numberless wonderful qualities but in terms of nature, a person who has developed even the initial stages of bodhicitta surpasses them. This is similar to the way that the baby son of a universal monarch who, although only an infant possessing no qualities of knowledge or power, is accorded higher status than any scholar or minister in the realm.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of conventional benefit, all the happiness and goodness that exists comes from bodhicitta. Buddhas are born from bodhisattvas but bodhisattvas come from bodhicitta. As a result of the birth of buddhas and bodhisattvas, great waves of enlightened energy spread throughout the universe, influencing sentient beings to create positive karma. This positive karma in turn brings them much benefit and happiness. On the one hand, the mighty stream of enlightened and enlightening energy issues from the wisdom body of the buddhas, but since the buddhas are born from bodhisattvas and bodhisattvas from bodhicitta, the ultimate source of universal goodness and happiness is bodhicitta itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to develop bodhicitta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How do we develop bodhicitta? There are two major methods. The first of these, the six causes and one effect, applies six causal meditations\u2014recognizing that all sentient beings were once our own mother, a mother\u2019s kindness, repaying such kindness, love, compassion and the extraordinary thought of universal responsibility\u2014to produce one result: bodhicitta. The second technique is the meditation in which we directly change self-cherishing into the cherishing of others.<\/p>\n<p>In order to practice either of these methods of developing bodhicitta we must first develop a sense of equanimity towards all living beings. We must transcend seeing some beings as close friends, others as disliked or hated enemies and the rest as merely unknown strangers. Until we have developed equanimity for all beings, any meditation we do in an attempt to develop bodhicitta will not be effective. For example, if we want to paint a mural on a wall we must first get rid of all the cracks and lumps on its surface. Similarly, we cannot create the beautiful bodhicitta within our mind until it has been purified of the distortions of seeing others as friend, enemy or stranger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The attitude of discrimination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The way we impute this discrimination upon others is quite automatic and, as a result, whenever we see somebody we have labeled \u201cfriend,\u201d attachment arises and we respond with warmth and kindness. Why have we labeled this person \u201cfriend\u201d? It is only because on some level or other this person has benefited or supported us. Alternatively, whenever we encounter somebody we have labeled \u201cenemy,\u201d aversion arises and we respond with coldness and anger. The reason is again because that person once harmed or threatened us in some way. Similarly, when we encounter somebody who has neither helped nor harmed us, we apply the label \u201cstranger\u201d and have no feelings for that person one way or the other.<\/p>\n<p>However, if we examine this method of discriminating others we will quickly see that it is an extremely unstable process. Even in this life, people once regarded as friends become enemies and enemies often become friends. And in the countless lives we have taken since beginningless time while spinning on the wheel of life there is not one sentient being who has consistently been either friend or enemy.<\/p>\n<p>Our best friend of this life could easily have been our worst enemy in a previous incarnation and<em>vice versa<\/em>. A friend who mistreats us quickly becomes an enemy and an enemy who helps us soon becomes a new-found friend. So which one is really the friend and which one the enemy? Instead of responding to others on the basis of the ephemeral benefit or harm they bring us we should meditate that all have alternately benefited and harmed us in the stream of our infinite past lives and, in that way, abandon superficial discriminations.<\/p>\n<p>A root cause of this discriminating mind is the self-cherishing attitude, the thought that makes us consider ourselves more important than others. As a result of self-cherishing we develop attachment to those who help us and aversion to those who cause us problems. This, in turn, causes us to create countless negative karmas trying to support the \u201chelpers\u201d and overcome the \u201charmers.\u201d Thus we bring great suffering upon ourselves and others, both immediately and in future lives, as the karmic seeds of these actions ripen into suffering experiences.<\/p>\n<p>(\u2026)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S\u1ef0 LI\u00caN H\u1ec6 GI\u1eeeA PH\u00c1P TH\u00c2N PH\u1eacT V\u00c0 S\u1ef0 PH\u00c1T B\u1ed2 \u0110\u1ec0 T\u00c2M Ho\u00e0ng Li\u00ean T\u00e2m Ai c\u0169ng bi\u1ebft gi\u1eefa Ph\u1eadt Gi\u00e1o Nguy\u00ean Thu\u1ef7 v\u00e0 \u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/?p=2885\">Continue \u00e0 lire <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dharma"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2885"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2887,"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2885\/revisions\/2887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pagodethienminh.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
