Nirvana

‘The word nirvana… means extinction of thirst and the annihilation of suffering. Buddhist masters teach that within each of us there is always a fire. Sometimes this fire is quietly smoldering; other times it is raging out of control. This fire is caused by the friction of duality rubbing against itself, like two sticks. This friction is generated by me (as subject) wanting other (as object) and the interaction between the two. This ever-present friction that irritates us blazes up into the fires of suffering. When we realize emptiness and perfect oneness with all, the fires of duality go out. When even the embers themselves are cool, when conflicting emotions are no longer burning us - this is nirvana, the end of dissatisfaction and suffering. This is liberation; this is bliss; this is true freedom.

The freedom from craving spoken of by the Buddha is an inconceivable inner peace, a sense of at-one-ness and completion.

The lasting happiness the Buddha speaks of does not mean having no personality or passion. Desirelessness means lacking nothing. Consider this possibility… for your life.’

- Lama Surya Das, Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World.

간혹 힘이 들어도 버겁지는 말기를. 거기엔 무리한 욕심이 있다는 얘기니까. 때때로 일어나는 마음의 갈증으로 공허한 것을 찾아 헤매지 않고 나와 남을 피곤케 하는 무리를 저지르지 않기를. 마음의 빛을 잘 지켜 몸과 마음이 어긋나지 않기를. 목소리를 가다듬고 정직하고 가식없이 나를 만나는 기도를 해 나가기를.

If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant with the weak and wrong. Sometime in your life, you will have been all of these.

Gautama Buddha
