Among all sutras, the perfection of wisdom sutra is my favourite sutra. The sutra allows me to not only understand the Buddha’s teaching profoundly but to also understand the right qualities of a Boddhisattva. With every verses I read, I tried my best to visualise myself by standing at Buddha’s point of view, looking into samsara from outside of samsara.
It is quite interesting, or not at all to see the cyclic existence of all living being suffering in samsara. I visualised the six realms. All sentient being trapped in the ocean of samsara, spinning around life after life in the six realms…aimlessly and meaninglessly.
I try very hard each and everytime to visualise and comtemplate when i come across verses that I do not understand in the sutra. And if I still can’t, I would keep it with me until life experience teaches me. Whether if it was the past or the future, we do learn from our own and others mistakes. It is always good to learn from others mistakes as we do not have to suffer ourselves but rarely people understand the purpose of history.
The perfection of wisdom sutra guides me to the correct understanding of perfect wisdom as well as the humility of a true bodhisattva. A little boastful is considered a destruction of mara. I felt delighted on the qualities of a bodhisattva, their universal compassion and bodhicitta. It is hard to practise, however, I shall not give up!
I come across another beautiful quote today:
An untroubled mind, no longer seeking to consider what is right and what is wrong. A mind beyond judgments watches and understands.~ Buddha
I have been constantly reminding myself, guess I am not sincere enough…
Cats who teach me to fly...
