The Power of Cutting Off & Letting Go | Br Phap Dung | 29 July 2018

[@techracer2003]

In short then, we're taught growing up with the wrong idea that freedom is all about "doing what you want to do (to go after cravings, view, relationship) by gaining more power/wealth, " but true freedom comes from getting rid of these attachments in life. The freer you get, the more inner peace and true happiness one will attain.

[@silhouettes55]

Well summarized! ❤️

[@edzardpiltz6348]

Yes, and it's rather obvious one would think. The more you believe that you need to have more more things, experiences ect. to be fulfilled the less you are or can be happy in that moment you are craving these things. This never stops because nothing can give you that everlasting happiness that you actually want. On the other hand the less you believe that outer things can give you that fulfillment the less you are compelled to satisfy your compulsory cravings, the more freedom and therefore the more happiness you'll experience. 😘

[@XOXO-mb2vh]

Just do what feels right to you... because ultimately you only know what you perceive. So another person's ideas are actually you perceiving them. Don't forget without you, you wouldn't even know.

[@kippapao]

so true because freedom is being your true self, the ultimate, in touch with the ethereal dimension inside of you, the transcendent dimension, everything real and all!!! Keep going, everything we want and need and dream of is inside of us!!!!! It is possible!!! And then everything changes!!!!! All suffering turns into enlightment which was nothing more than the way to the ultimate healing and transcendence od our suffering!!! THe best is yet to come and then you will bless your suffering because it took you to the ulitmate dimension, the ultimate freedom, bliss, happiness and love!!!! Everything good and wonderfull is inside of us. Forward!!! ALl will be dissolved and healed and turned into light and goodness and love and the real!!!!!! Yaya!! WLecome to the truth!!!

I was talking to the wrong people and 2. I was stressing myself out and moving further and further away from the happiness I deserve. I haven't yelled or argued with anyone in over a year lml.

A am a Franciscan Brother, and recently I have read a book by Fr. Daniel Horan "The Franciscan Heart of Thomas Merton". I mention that to say that a core teaching of Thomas Merton was on "True Self/False Self", Because of how deeply this growing understanding has impacted my life I have been mindful of all the ways that gifts are revealing themselves to help with inner clarity in this regard. This beautiful Dharma Talk by Br. Phap Dung leaves me with a rejoicing heart because while it might seem that I just sort of "stumbled upon it", I recognize it as a gift today ... a widening and deepening of the inner stream of life that I pray will continue to flow out into the world around me ... just as the tree that Br. Phap Dung has used in his illustration. Deepest gratitude to you for this gift!!

Game of Earth I'm encouraged to write this article for most of the human race. The human race as I know it, doesn't know their own power and how great that power is and for sure they don't know how to use this loving power, while temporally living on Earth. As love is the fuel for power. I'm encouraged to write this article for most of the human race, because I know that most Humans don't know their own perfection. This article, I hope, will teach as many as possible to use their power to create a better and happier life while they live here on Earth. Truth is the fuel for happiness. It is not hard to understand what I say. However, it is very hard to believe it. For those that do, their lives will change as God's truth is the fuel for Happiness. When people believe in their perfection, their truth, long enough, they will totally neutralize Earth's illusions that have played on their thinking, thus compromising their creations. That will end. Again truth is the fuel for Happiness. When humans understand their (role) mission on earth, dealing with life here on earth, their lives will become easier. Know, when you understand Earth fully, you then believe in something and against nothing. My words (Gerald Albert) are easy to understand and some, very hard to believe. But that is normal. Earth is easier and easier to understand as we move to the truth of life. This article my help. New insight to thinking. This can be fun. I'll e-mail it to you -- go to -- [e-mail]

[@ramaraksha01]

Then you end up with nothing. This is not rocket science - we learn that in life nothing is given, you have to EARN it & it won't be easy for the good things in life because everyone wants them and so there is competition. If competing is too tough for you, then you give up, you get peace but understand then that all you have done is give up

[@ramaraksha01]

@@KT-pw1cq It is not that complicated Life teaches us that every choice comes with benefits and costs In life we know nothing is GIVEN - whether you want that Gold medal in the Olympics, get rich, be the next Einstein, Mozart - they ALL Come with lots of hard work, sacrifice, endless days of tears and disappointments, dealing with setbacks, falling down again & again but getting up again & again This is the cost we must bear to make our dreams come true The weak, the lazy give up & others are after peace & joy - give up all that & now we have plenty of time, no more hard work, no more sacrifices - we are happy! Yes but those dreams will die now At a certain advanced age, we may look at those who made it and say "I could have done that, I had more talent" We may have the ability to be the next Einstein, the next Mozart, the next great one, but we will never know - that is the cost for those who gave up

[@KT-pw1cq]

@@ramaraksha01 well some things in life you simply don’t have control of. For example, other human beings. You can’t make someone marry you, you can’t make your family get along with you.. etc.. I think a lot of people take things for granted because it’s the norm to have those things.. but reality is.. some people only have themselves.. no one else.. and they have no control over that.. so it’s not about “giving up” as long as you’re not dead.. you haven’t given up.

[@ramaraksha01]

@@KT-pw1cq Yes nothing is GIVEN - you can work hard, sacrifice, deal with heartache daily but it does not mean all that will pay off - Vincent Van Gogh didn't sell even ONE painting in his lifetime - he killed himself finally! What if he had given up? Never attempted to chase his dreams? never took up painting? Would he have lived a long happy life? sure! But then we would never know who he was That is the problem with this - desires, aspirations come with costs - to be a God one must walk thru fire! If you don't have the stomach for it, fine, then you exist - you live, you die, even your own loved ones will forget you a few years after your death But if you want to live forever, then there is a cost You have to ask yourself - what is your goal? If it is peace, joy & happiness, then give up your dreams, aspirations - isn't that what the Buddha advised? But if you want to chase your dreams, aspirations, then understand that pain & suffering is your constant companion

Looking at mental illness (OCD, ADHD, obsession) in the terms of a craving is fascinating. A mental craving that a person must practice to let go. It puts the power back in the hands of the people and out of the hands of drug companies. Amazing

[@SheikhN-bible-syndrome]

Actually OCD and ADHD are not a wild mind that needs taming because it craves too much it is a mind that cannot find the response chemicals for a certain action therefore the mind is starved even though it's doing something physically so it's not about the mind with a sweet tooth it's about a mind that doesn't know there's food metaphorically speaking

Buddha stated desire is the beginning of all suffering. Get it? There is a time and place for all things. I meditate, if that's the word, during most activities like cleaning, installing shelves in my shed, playing the piano, reading, shaving - the whole kit and kaboodle. Washing dishes - a job I have had many times over the decades (very minimum wage) - offered moments of Zen for me and time to consider the many things going on in my life at those various times. And the possibilities of the future in which I am presently living. My faith is in God and my trust is in Christ. The flavor of Eastern philosophy is an additional spice to the richness of the meal God prepared for me. There is no contradiction in truth. I like this guy.

Dear Chi Quita, you could maybe see holding on as an act of letting go of cutting off. Does it make any sense? There is probably something that scares you in attachment. I have caused my share of cutting off and it was the fear of being cut off. The outopia was “I felt I was in control of the situation” by deciding to be the first to put an end to things.

The highest wisdom lies in letting go: Let go of my ego Because ego is the enemy. The death of the ego is the awaken of the soul. Death is a great opportunity to be no I- To be nothing, Not to be.

[@tarotreader511]

I resonate with this. Kill the ego, get into higher self and practice unconditional love. This world will be in peace.

[@haodaniel3138]

[@lenfriesen284]

This talk reminded me of the Yuga cycle. We are still so deep in the Kali state of distraction. Once, the whole of the Bhagavad Gita could be passed on orally. Now we need to be reminded to hold our minds while washing dishes.

Well that's not neccesarily true, most lay people - throughout history, would be in need of those few who could recite, because they would likely have wandering minds whilst doing tasks also. I think it's why these teachings stay so relevent, it seems to be human nature to have this "monkey mind." I would be wary of placing predecesors on a pedestal, or thinking of them as all the same and lacking the diversity and complexity that we see in one another today.

This is so helpful even after repeated mistakes, I still search for answers. I want to get better and grow. I’m so ashamed and guilty of my past. I’m afraid of the future and I’m so anxious and I fear I can’t get my freedom. I just want to be free. It’s so hard. This video helps me. It’s just so hard but Thay and Brother Phap helps.

[@janetmiller2980]

I’m almost halfway through this video. The “cutting off” part with regards to parenting reminds me of a Hindu teaching I learned in a book about the teachings published around India’s year of independence. With regards to human relations-including family-this author spoke of some level of “detachment”. If one becomes too attached to loved ones in their life, relationships that should produce joy produce misery, thus, as in “deparenting”, some level of detachment is necessary for harmony for all involved. Back to video, thank you for your teaching.

[@vivashanmuthan3103]

Thank you Brother Phap Dung 🙏🏾 I had asked you for guidance about this in 2013 and the words you shared with me, about sometimes needing to cut the plant at the root for it to regrow, changed my life and brought me so much peace since then.

Thank you for your compassion and knowledge. 法布施，財布施，無畏布施，功德無量，福報豐厚，積累功德！菩薩畏因 眾生畏果🙏🙏🙏積善之家必有餘慶，人生一世中最重要就是行善修德, 積口德, 所為之事.無愧於心. 內心和善慈心.光明磊落! 福報是修來的，今生不修待何時。感恩阿彌陀佛 有好报, 好因定有好果种瓜得瓜"、"善有善报"、"积极进取"、相信人的命运非由天注定，人们可以掌握自己的未来，改造自己的命运。 無論是求財、求福還是治病，放生是最有效的方法. 如果是佛弟子求解脫，放生時，將功德回向給法界眾生。如果是俗人求財，可將功德回向給自己的事業。如果家有病人，將功德回向給病人。都會有很好的效果。 放生一定要如理如法，科學放生 即以此功德，莊嚴佛淨土。上報四重恩，下救三道苦。 惟願見聞者，悉發菩提心。在世富貴全，往生極樂國。 請常念南無阿彌陀佛，一切重罪悉解脫！南无阿弥陀佛 Constantly chant : Namo Amitabha, Repentance and Dedication of Merit. To help others is to help yourself. 感恩福報。

[@ginamori4970]

The world teaches you to do and not think. Buy things, get established, always be getting ahead, but what are we really gaining? In doing this does this make us a better person or give us insight and enlightenment into ourselves? Money doesn't equal love. It's and end to a means that's never ends for some. I'd rather be poor and humbled and greatful than rich, busy, and distant from anything or anyone that hold true meaning and virtue. This is a good video. I'm trying to let go and look inwardly at myself and my flaws and how I bring on my own madness.
