A patchwork robe made from rags can be as much as a hindrance to practice as one made of fine silk brocade. Attachment is attachment. The great way is easy for those who do not pick and choose. May your practice go well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14548193.post-86041114611234017832010-08-06T00:04:57.286+08:002010-08-06T00:04:57.286+08:00The Diamond Sutra says, "Even if a person wer...The Diamond Sutra says, "Even if a person were to fill the whole universe with the 7 precious gems and use them for charity, it still could not compare to another person who could understand 1 gatha from this Sutra and explain it to others."<br /><br />The statement cited above is very precise and truthful. <br /><br />But please do not make mistake that it discourages people from giving/helping those in dire needs.<br /><br />Instead, as long as one is not in a meditation session, one should think of the sufferings poor people of the world have been in such as Tibetan refugees in India, inside Tibet, poor people in India, latin america, Africa, etc.... Then, if one has means to help, then do so. Those who do not have means to help, then pray for them. Loving kindness, compassion, and altruism are parts of an enlightened mind. One own ego must be diminished in order for these bodhisattvas' qualities to grow. <br /><br />Be aware that wealth and hell are often go hand in hand!hoangkybactiennoreply@blogger.com
