Giải Thoát Từ Dục Vọng và Hạnh Phúc Hiện Tại

*Thầy Samidhi dẫn cô thiên nữ đến gặp Đức Thế Tôn để học chánh pháp, ghi lại rằng chỉ những ai “thật lòng thành khẩn” mới có thể tiếp cận và thọ trì giáo lý. Đức Thế Tôn truyền cho cô bài kệ nhắc rõ: “Thấy chân tướng ái dục, tâm ái dục không sinh… ai cám dỗ được mình.” Ái dục là năm thứ người ta thường chạy theo:

  1. Tiền tài
  2. Sắc dục
  3. Danh vọng
  4. Thức ăn ngon
  5. Giấc ngủ
    Khi không thấy rõ bản chất vô thường, ảo tưởng về chúng giống như “khúc xương trần” hay “bó đuốc rơm cầm ngược gió,” chỉ đem lại đau khổ và trói buộc thân tâm. Nhận diện đúng về ái dục giúp ta giải thoát — tâm không sinh khởi tham ái và giữ được tự do chân thật.*

Bài giảng tiếp nối qua việc vượt ba tâm mạn: mạn hơn, mạn kém và mạn bằng người, vốn là nguồn gốc của ganh ghét, tự ti và chống đối. Khi vượt ba mạn, ta đạt được “trí tuệ bình đẳng tánh” (Samatajñāna) và sống trong xảhỷ. Ví dụ, thầy Bahiya bỏ hết danh lợi để đạt an lạc nội tại; hai người yêu nhau chỉ ôm giữ ảo tưởng nên vỡ mộng khi gặp thực tại. Cuối cùng, Đức Thế Tôn kệ rằng:
“Trừ dục, vượt ba mạn, tâm lặng, hết mong cầu.
Mọi đau phiền cởi bỏ, đời này và đời sau.”

Mindful Transformation: Embracing Interconnectedness and Impermanence in Buddhist Practice

Touching Nirvāṇa and the Art of Transforming Anger

Thầy explores the depth of store consciousness, the transformative power of the Three Dharma Seals, and concrete, non-dual methods for working with difficult emotions in daily life. Thầy examines the four indeterminate mental formations—regret (hối), sleepiness, initial thinking (vitarka), and applied thinking (vicāra)—showing how their wholesome or unwholesome nature depends entirely on the presence of mindfulness.

Expanding on store consciousness (ālayavijñāna), he shares that physical form itself, including our bodies, cells, mountains, and rivers, manifests directly from our collective consciousness. Thầy offers the classic Zen insight on the evolution of perception: “Before practice, rivers are rivers; during practice, rivers cease to be rivers; after practice, rivers are rivers again.”

He explores impermanence, nonself and nirvāṇa as active keys to unlock reality rather than static doctrines. Using the ocean and wave analogy to illustrate phenomena and noumena, Thầy shows how touching our water nature frees us from the fear of birth, death, high, and low self-esteem.

In daily life, mindfulness allows us to embrace anger and pain non-dually without judgment or suppression, like a mother holding a crying child or hot air warming a cold room. Thầy cautions against practices like pillow beating, explaining how venting expresses anger while secretly watering and strengthening its seed at the base.

He offers practical guidance on drinking whiskey with mindfulness to uncover root causes of escape, and explains how mindfulness transforms neutral conditions—such as a healthy heart or a non-toothache—into immediate, nourishing joy.

The talk concludes with the concrete protocol of the Peace Treaty, detailing the 24-hour rule, writing a peace note, scheduling Friday evening resolutions, and practicing Flower Watering to cultivate understanding and true love.

This the fourth talk in a series of five given during the Peace is Every Step retreat in the year 1992. Thầy offered this talk at Haus Tao, Wolfhalden, Switzerland.

Freeing Ourselves from Notions-Touching Nirvana

Thay begins with a guided meditation on touching our freshness, solidity, stillness and freedom. He then speaks to the children about maintaining joy and happiness while playing, emphasizing that playing with anger leads to loss. He teaches that the highest way of playing is to ensure neither the winner nor the loser suffers. He also introduces the third mantra about love, “Darling, I know you suffer and I am here for you,” and discusses the wisdom of non-discrimination and the three complexes: superiority, inferiority and equality.

Thay shares the fourth mantra, “Darling, I suffer and I want you to know. I’m doing the best I can. Please help,” and explains how pride and anger can prevent us from seeking help. He advises practitioners to take care of their anger with mindful breathing to understand the wrong perceptions behind it.

Thay elaborates on the eleventh and twelfth exercises of mindful breathing—concentrating and liberating the mind. He discusses the three doors of liberation: emptiness (śūnyatā), signlessness (animitta), and aimlessness (apranihita), as well as four other objects of concentration: impermanence, non-craving, cessation, and letting go. These practices help free us from notions of being and non-being, birth and death, coming and going, sameness and otherness, and the four notions of self, man/human, living beings, and lifespan, allowing us to touch reality, nirvana, and realize our true nature of no-birth and no-death.

This is the fourth talk in a series of five given during The Body and Mind Are One retreat in the year 2011. Thay offered this talk at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado, the United States.
