May all be free...

All kinds of suffering, unrest, ignorance, selfishness, unjust, violence, dissatisfaction, disappointment, and fear will always exist in the perception of names and forms in the worldly life existence of the ignorant and egoistic minds.

Buddha taught living beings how to be free from suffering.

Buddha didn't teach living beings how to make the world of names and forms to be free from all kinds of suffering or unhappiness. Or Wishing there will only be desirable, pleasant and happy experiences, and no undesirable, unpleasant and unhappy experiences in the world of impermanent names and forms.

Buddha taught living beings to purify one's mind, cultivate one's kindness, to refrain oneself from evil thinking, action and speech.

Buddha didn't teach living beings to 'purify' other beings' mind, to make other beings to cultivate kindness, or to make other beings to refrain from evil thinking, action and speech.

As the world is just what it is. It is neither a suffering place nor a non-suffering place.

Suffering derives from ignorant of the truth and egoism.

To be free from suffering, one works on eliminating ignorance and egoism from one's mind.

As the perception of the worldly life existence is not outside the mind. It's within the mind.

Purify and tame one's mind, and be free.

The world of impermanent names and forms will still be what it is. All other beings will still be what they are. But, one is free from suffering for being free from ignorance and egoism while living in the world of impermanent names and forms.

This is not selfish.

No one can change another being.

One might can influence others to work on their own salvation when oneself is fully purified and be free from ignorance and egoism, without the intention to change other beings or change the world to be the way that the egoistic mind desires, or thinks how it should be.

Purifying and taming one's mind is the greatest contribution towards humanity and world peace and harmony.

May all be free...

  1. Hi Meng Foong, I have been reading your posts, they are inspiring. I am trying to find my calling.. to figure out what I am meant to do.. I guess to change what I do for a living (but to what?) and trying to be free from doing something unfulfilling, but at the same time there is a fear factor as it provides (financially) for the necessities and priorities .. I can't think of anything else to do that can sustain the current lifestyle:(. At a crossroads when considering the push and pull factors, hope I get a lightbulb moment soon!

About Yoga

Know thyself. Everything is impermanent and selfless. There is no 'I'. There is no 'I am selfless'/'I am not selfless'. There is no 'I am hurt'/'I need to be healed from hurt'. Non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing and non-blind propagating, but be open-minded to inquire the truth of everything. Be free. Be peaceful. Be happy.
