My small & large merits of today topic - Mein kleine/große Verdienste-heute-hema

[Sophorn]

 

Während des Aufenthalts im Guesthouse versucht kana sich täglich in der Ausübung der inneren Einsicht und Dinge als nicht selbstverständlich zu sehen.
So werden kleine hilfreiche Handgriffe, Worte, Blicke, Hilfestellungen etc., die man oft als nicht wichtig empfindet als dankbare Gesten empfunden.
Sogenannten kleinen Dingen, Momenten und Personen Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken bringt sofort oder unmittelbare Resultate in seinem Wesen, in dem des Gegenüber.
Schnell erkennt man, wo man abdriftet.

Sich in Disziplin der Silas zu üben stärkt die innere Ruhe und Gedanken entweichen mehr und mehr.

Sadhu und mudita.

-------------------

While staying at a guesthouse kana tries daily to obtain and practise the inner insight and not take things for granted as they seem to appear.
Small helping acts, words, glimpses and being helpful which often are not considered important suddenly turn out to be seen as thankful gestures.
To pay attention to small things, small moments und people brings results right at once or shortly after in one's being and in that of others. Fast is the realization when drifting off starts.

To practice in the discipline of the silas reinforce inner peace of mind and the thoughts escape more and more.

Die letzten zwei Tage immer wieder Besuch von einer “kleinen” Gruppe großer Verdienstemacher im Ashram Thmo Duk (Schiffsfelsen), Aural, Cambodia, អាស្រម ថ្មទូក ស្រុកឪរ៉ាល់

Während sie die Kühe hüten, lassen sie es sich nicht nehmen,  den Berg hinauf zu steigen und Buddha, Dhamma,  Sangha Respekt zu erweisen. Freude am verdienstvollen Tun haben.

Sehr vorbildhaftes Verhalten!

Sadhu

Zum ersten Mal werde ich den Übersetzer für die deutsche Sprache verwenden, damit Sie mir sagen können, ob es richtig ist oder nicht.
Ich habe es sicherlich versäumt, mich den Vorteilen der Praxis zu widmen, und das hat mich daran gehindert, über meinen eigenen Nutzen hinaus zu sehen.
Das liegt daran, dass ich zu viel in den sozialen Medien unterwegs war und mich buchstäblich an den Meinungen und Phrasen berauscht habe.
Ich möchte Ihnen danken, Johann... Sie haben mir etwas von der Freude zurückgegeben, die ich heute Nachmittag verloren habe.
Sie sind eine große Hilfe auf diesem Weg.

******************************************************+
I am going to use the translator for the German language for the first time, so you can tell me if it is correct or not.
I have certainly failed to dedicate the benefits of the practice and that has prevented me from seeing beyond my own benefit.
This is because I have wandered too much on social media, I have literally become intoxicated by seeing opinions and phrases.
I want to thank you Johann...you have given me back some of the joy I lost this afternoon.
You are a great help on this path.

For inspiration to reflect on ones blessings gained by giving, letting go, merits, in the past and present:

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

Thus have I heard:

On one occasion the Blessed One was living near Savatthi at Jetavana at Anathapindika's monastery. Now when the night was far advanced, a certain deity, whose surpassing radiance illuminated the whole of Jetavana, approached the Blessed One, respectfully saluted him, and stood beside him. Standing thus, he addressed the Blessed One in verse:

1. “Many deities and men longing for happiness have pondered on (the question of) blessings. Pray tell me what the highest blessings are.

2. “Not to associate with the foolish, but to associate with the wise, and to honor those worthy of honor — this is the highest blessing.

3. “To reside in a suitable locality, to have performed meritorious actions in the past, and to set oneself in the right direction — this is the highest blessing.

4. “Vast learning, skill in handicrafts, well grounded in discipline, and pleasant speech — this is the highest blessing.

5. “To support one's father and mother; to cherish one's wife and children, and to be engaged in peaceful occupations — this is the highest blessing.

6. “Liberality, righteous conduct, rendering assistance to relatives, and performance of blameless deeds — this is the highest blessing.

7. “To cease and abstain from evil, to abstain from intoxicating drinks, and diligent in performing righteous acts — this is the highest blessing.

8. “Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude, and the timely hearing of the Dhamma, the teaching of the Buddha — this is the highest blessing.

9. “Patience, obedience, meeting the Samanas (holy men), and timely discussions on the Dhamma — this is the highest blessing.

10. “Self-control, chastity, comprehension of the Noble Truths, and the realization of Nibbana — this is the highest blessing.

11. “The mind that is not touched by the vicissitudes of life,(1) the mind that is free from sorrow, stainless, and secure — this is the highest blessing.

12. “Those who have fulfilled the conditions (for such blessings) are victorious everywhere, and attain happiness everywhere — To them these are the highest blessings.”

Quote from: https://sangham.net/en/tipitaka/sut/kn/snp/snp.2.04.piya

Consume might be pleasing, but does not satisfy, craves for more and more. The very truth, and what one should go after is: "Only (Skilful) labour makes free". (e.g. seeking debtlessness)
