The year is 2184, average earth temperature has doubled, only a few million people remain on earth. A green-movement managed to travel back to 2022. What are they doing?

Breaking into small specialized groups they are revealing knowledge to influence society to stir away from destructive practices. Hearts are being softened by compassionate service and meaningful dialogue. Clarity into our current situation is provoking the otherwise silent powers to awaken their gifts and put away ego driven mindsets of others.

The Quest For Buddhism (64)

The Quest for Buddhism (64)

The Dhammapada โ€“ Word of Truth - Part 5 [So far]

Way to the end of suffering

When one have made the effort to experience the truth and have cut off worldly desires (kleshas), then one will be free from all bondage and reach a state of peace and tranquillity (Nirvana).

If one does good, renounces vice and experiences right knowledge, one is no longer afflicted by suffering. In order to realise that state of tranquillity, one must first and foremost start by seeing things in the right way:

โ€œHe who knows what is true to be true, and regards what is not true to be not true, will, according to right thought, at last attain to the truth.โ€œ- Buddha (Dhammapada 90)

Once one has correctly assessed things, the next step is to take the right action, and human activities can be summed up in the workings of the body, speech and mind. The purification of these three activities is the way to the end of suffering:

"He who does not do evil in body, speech and mind, but is pious in all three - I call him a โ€˜Brahminโ€™.โ€- Buddha (Dhammapada 391)

The term 'Brahminโ€™ refers to the priestly class of the ancient Indian Vedic religion at the top of the caste system, but this is not what is meant by 'Brahminโ€™ in the Dhammapada. Here, the term 'Brahminโ€™ refers to a person who is the embodiment of virtue and an ideal person.

As well as purifying physical actions, the activities of speech must also be purified and correct. Words are rather problematic because they do not appear as a form, like physical actions. Words uttered carelessly could easily hurt another person far more deeply than physical injuries.

In order for the physical functions and language to be correct, the functions of oneโ€™s own mind, which underlie both, are complex and subtle and, in practice, difficult to control:

โ€œThe mind is agitated, turmoil, hard to protect, hard to control. Those who are wise will straighten it out - just as a bowman straightens the shaft of his arrow.โ€ - Buddha (Dhammapada 33)

The way of the Buddha is perfected through the threefold workings of the body, language and mind:

โ€œRefrain from speech, refrain from calmness of mind, and do not do vice in your body. If you keep these three paths of conduct pure, you will conquer the Way that the hermit (Buddha) has preached.โ€ - Buddha (Dhammapada 381)

The only way to perfect the Buddhist Way is through dedicated effort and devotion:

โ€œIt is better to live one day with firm devotion and diligence than to live a hundred years without energy and laziness.โ€- Buddha (Dhammapada 112)
