Integritas – Sebuah Ajaran di Pasar Terapung di Thailand (Bahasa Indonesia)

Oct 18, 2024 | Views: 27

Tadi malam kami pergi ke pasar terapung Amphawa yang sangat indah. Pasar ini hanya buka pada hari Jumat pukul 15.00-22.00 dan Sabtu-Minggu pukul 12.00-22.00. Kami menyewa perahu seharga 600 baht (murah) dan perahu ini bisa memuat dua puluh orang dengan mudah. Perahu ini membawa Anda dalam perjalanan sejauh 17 kilometer melewati pasar, area kunang-kunang dan untuk secara umum menikmati ketenangan sungai. Setelah itu, saya memutuskan untuk berbicara tentang integritas… Jika Anda tidak ingin menyewa seluruh perahu, maka per orangnya adalah 60 baht…

Pasar Terapung Amphawa berjarak 1 jam dari Bangkok dalam keadaan lalu lintas lancar. Bila macet, Anda membutuhkan waktu 2 jam. Ini adalah tempat yang harus dikunjungi bagi siapa saja yang mengunjungi Bangkok. Mereka juga memiliki rumah pondok atau rumah di tepi sungai yang dapat Anda sewa dan di pagi hari dan anda bisa pergi untuk memberikan persembahan kepada para biksu juga. Ini adalah tempat yang sangat indah. Di kedua sisi sungai terdapat banyak toko, kedai, restoran, tempat makan, pub, kios, dan hal-hal menarik lainnya untuk dilihat dan dibeli. Saya sangat menyukai tempat ini.

Thailand sungguh menakjubkan… begitu banyak hal yang bisa dilihat dan dilakukan…

Transkrip – Integritas: Ajaran Dharma di Pasar Terapung

Hai, saya sedang berada di Pasar Terapung Amphawa. Ini adalah pasar terapung kedua yang kami kunjungi. Sudah banyak …. Ada satu lagi yang kami kunjungi yang asli dan jauh lebih kecil, kuno, dan unik, tapi pasar terapung yang ini sangat besar, jadi Anda harus berkendara sekitar 2 jam dari Bangkok untuk sampai ke sini dan berada di Amphawa. Ini adalah tujuan wisata yang sangat besar dan semua orang pasti mengetahuinya. Tempat ini sangat umum dikunjungi dan jika Anda seorang turis di Bangkok, Anda harus datang ke sini, oke?

Pada hari Jumat, buka dari jam 3 sore sampai jam 10 malam dan pada hari Sabtu dan Minggu buka dari jam 12 siang sampai jam 10 malam, tetapi jika tidak ada banyak bisnis, mereka akan tutup pada malam hari sekitar jam 9 malam, oke? Ketika Anda sampai di tempat parkir, Anda masuk, ada banyak kios dan banyak pernak pernik yang bisa Anda beli, banyak hal menarik untuk dilihat, dan kemudian ketika Anda sampai di sungai yang sebenarnya, daerah dermaga, di sinilah kami berada. Di dermaga, ada banyak perahu untuk disewa, Anda dapat menyewa perahu dengan biaya sekitar 600 baht atau jika Anda ingin menjadi penumpang perorangan saja, Anda bisa melakukannya dengan biaya 200 bath per orang jika Anda orang asing dan 100 bath jika Anda orang Thailand, baiklah, ini dalam mata uang bath. Sungai ini mengalir di sepanjang toko-toko dan banyak kafe kecil yang menarik dan tempat-tempat di mana Anda dapat berhenti dan makan, banyak hal menarik untuk dilihat dan kemudian perahu berputar-putar, memakan waktu sekitar satu jam, satu setengah jam dan mereka menunjukkan kunang-kunang di sepanjang jalan. Suasana yang damai, tidak berisik, dan tenang.

 

Apa itu integritas? Mengapa Anda membutuhkan integritas?

Hari ini, di pasar terapung ini, saya ingin berbicara tentang integritas. Integritas pada dasarnya berarti menghormati apa yang Anda janjikan. Anda menghormati kata-kata Anda. Anda menghormati komitmen Anda. Jadi, apa pun yang Anda katakan dari mulut Anda, lakukanlah. Apa pun yang Anda janjikan, lakukanlah. Apa pun yang telah Anda janjikan, lakukanlah. Dan Anda tahu, kecuali jika itu adalah keadaan hidup dan mati, maka Anda tidak dapat melakukannya, atau jika itu adalah keadaan yang sangat mendesak yang membuat Anda tidak dapat melakukannya, baiklah. Dan Anda bisa menjelaskan, dan memberi tahu, dan berbagi informasi alasan mengapa Anda tidak bisa melakukannya. Tidak apa-apa. Tetapi bila tidak seperti itu keadaannya, Anda harus menepati janji.

Jadi pada dasarnya, apa yang Anda janjikan kepada orang lain dan apa yang Anda katakan kepada orang lain mengenai yang akan Anda lakukan, dan apa yang Anda katakan, apa yang akan Anda lakukan, serta jadwal yang Anda berikan, harus ditepati. Anda harus melakukannya. Setiap orang dibesarkan dengan cara yang berbeda dan setiap orang memiliki cara berpikir yang berbeda, namun menurut saya, di mana pun di dunia ini, jika Anda menepati janji dan menepati komitmen serta memegang teguh kata-kata yang Anda ucapkan, saya rasa Anda akan menjadi orang yang dihormati ke mana pun Anda pergi. Dan saya rasa ke mana pun Anda pergi, orang-orang akan percaya dan mempercayai Anda dan Anda akan membangun hubungan yang kuat dan saling mengayomi dengan orang lain. Maksud saya, energi yang Anda pancarkan akan menarik energi serupa. Jadi, jika Anda akan mengirimkan semacam energi bahwa apa pun yang Anda katakan tidak terlalu penting, apa pun yang Anda janjikan tidak akan Anda tepati, Anda tahu, dan jika Anda mengatakan sesuatu dan apakah Anda melakukannya atau tidak, itu tergantung pada kenyamanan Anda. Jika itu adalah jenis energi yang Anda kirimkan, itulah jenis energi yang akan Anda dapatkan kembali. Itulah jenis orang yang yang tertarik pada Anda, itulah jenis … itulah jenis karakter yang akan Anda dapatkan dari orang lain, bahwa orang tidak akan menganggap Anda serius dan juga orang tidak akan mempercayai Anda dan itu … dan tidak ada gunanya menjalani hidup jika orang tidak mempercayai Anda, karena ketika orang tidak mempercayai Anda, Anda tidak dapat menyelesaikan sesuatu. Anda tidak bisa menyelesaikan sesuatu. Anda tidak dapat menyelesaikan apa yang ingin Anda lakukan karena apa pun yang ingin Anda lakukan, Anda membutuhkan bantuan orang lain. Anda membutuhkan orang lain, Anda membutuhkan bantuan mereka, Anda membutuhkan mereka untuk mendukung Anda dengan satu atau lain cara dan jika orang tidak mempercayai Anda, mereka tidak akan mendukung Anda.

Pernahkah Anda menemukan situasi di mana orang berkata bahwa mereka akan melakukan sesuatu dan Anda mempercayainya serta mengandalkannya, namun ternyata mereka tidak melakukannya, dan bagaimana rasanya? Perasaan seperti itulah yang kita berikan kepada orang lain jika kita tidak memiliki integritas. Saya tidak ingin menghakimi siapa pun atau merendahkan siapa pun, tetapi saya telah menemukan beberapa orang yang tidak menjalani hidup mereka dengan menepati kata-kata dan janji-janji mereka kepada orang lain dan hal ini berubah di saat-saat yang berbeda dan berubah di situasi yang berbeda pula, dan berubah sesuai dengan kenyamanan mereka. Maaf saja, sikap seperti ini sangat mengecewakan.

Jadi, sebagai orang biasa, dalam berurusan dengan keluarga, contoh yang Anda berikan kepada anak-anak Anda, dalam berurusan dengan teman, dalam berurusan dengan rekan kerja, integritas sangat penting. Maksud saya, anak-anak mempercayai kita. Anak-anak kita mempercayai kita dan jika kita memberitahu kepada mereka bahwa kita akan melakukan sesuatu, kita tidak melakukannya, dan kita mengecewakan mereka. Kita seperti mengirimkan pesan kepada mereka bahwa tidak apa-apa untuk mengatakan apa saja untuk saat ini, dan Anda tidak harus bersungguh-sungguh, dan mereka tumbuh dengan cara berbicara dan bertindak seperti itu. Ini bukanlah pesan yang baik untuk disampaikan kepada anak-anak. Jika itu adalah jenis pesan yang kita kirimkan kepada rekan kerja, atau kepada pasangan kita atau kepada istri dan suami kita, hubungan itu tidak akan didasarkan pada kebenaran. Hubungan itu tidak akan didasarkan pada kebenaran. Hubungan itu tidak akan didasarkan pada kejujuran, dan ketika hubungan itu tidak didasarkan pada kejujuran, apakah itu hubungan yang nyata? Kita harus memeriksa diri kita sendiri, bukan untuk saya periksa tapi untuk memeriksa diri kita sendiri dan kadang-kadang agak sulit bagi orang, untuk beberapa orang, untuk melakukan apa yang mereka janjikan, untuk melakukan apa yang mereka katakan, dan itu … itu membuat orang menderita. Jika kita tidak memiliki integritas, kita membuat orang-orang di sekitar kita menderita. Kita membuat mereka dipenuhi dengan kecemasan. Kita membuat mereka tidak menyukai kita dan tidak menghormati kita dan kita membuat mereka sangat sulit untuk bekerja sama dengan kita dan setelah beberapa saat mereka akan menghindari kita. Setelah beberapa saat mereka menghindari kita dan kita mungkin memiliki alasan terbaik di dunia karena tidak memenuhi janji kita, tetapi Anda tahu jika itu terjadi terlalu sering, terlalu sering, mereka akan mengalami akibatnya, akibat karma, Anda tahu, akibat perasaan yaitu orang-orang menjauhi kita dan orang-orang menghindari kita dan orang-orang tidak ingin melakukan sesuatu dengan kita.

Ketika kita tidak memiliki rasa hormat dan kita tidak memiliki integritas, dan kita tidak memiliki komitmen untuk memenuhi janji-janji kita, pada akhirnya kita akan merasa kesepian. Akhirnya kita akan merasa sedih. Pada akhirnya kita akan merasa terasing karena orang-orang tidak ingin berada di sekitar kita dan orang-orang tidak ingin bersama kita, dan ketika mereka tidak ingin bersama kita, bagaimana perasaan kita? Kita tidak bisa menyalahkan orang lain. Kita tidak bisa mengatakan bahwa itu adalah kesalahan orang lain. Itu salah kita. Jadi dalam kehidupan sekuler, baik dengan keluarga, dengan teman, dengan rekan kerja, dengan anak-anak, dengan rekan bisnis, apa pun itu, sangatlah penting untuk menepati janji, menepati komitmen, dan 100% menepati jadwal. Jika kita melakukan itu, kita akan merasa lebih mudah untuk bekerja sama dengan orang lain. Orang-orang akan merasa lebih mudah untuk bekerja sama dengan kita. Kita akan mendapati bahwa hubungan kita menjadi lebih baik. Kita akan mendapati bahwa orang-orang mulai… menghormati kita dan orang-orang menyukai kita, dan ketika orang-orang menghormati kita dan menyukai kita, itu adalah perasaan yang baik. Siapa yang tidak ingin dihormati dan disukai? Siapa yang tidak? Dan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, praktik integritas semacam itu merupakan prasyarat penting bagi kehidupan yang bahagia dan harmonis.

 

Bagaimana Anda mengintegrasikan integritas dalam Dharma? Mengapa kita mengambil sumpah?

Nah, ketika kita membicarakan praktik Dharma, ketika kita masuk ke dalam praktik tantra, ketika kita masuk ke dalam praktik meditasi, keutuhan adalah dasar dari semua pencapaian. Mengapa demikian? Karena untuk memasuki pintu ajaran Buddha, Anda perlu mengambil sumpah-sumpah Perlindungan. Sumpah-sumpah Perlindungan merekomendasikan kepada Anda apa yang harus dilakukan dan apa yang tidak boleh dilakukan dan agar Anda dapat menghentikan kebiasaan-kebiasaan negatif, agar Anda dapat memulai kebiasaan-kebiasaan positif. Tujuan kita mengambil sumpah-sumpah adalah untuk mematahkan kebiasaan-kebiasaan negatif. Sumpah bukanlah sesuatu yang menyiksa kita. Sumpah bukanlah sesuatu yang menyakiti kita atau mengikat kita atau memenjarakan kita. Sumpah-sumpah sebenarnya adalah sesuatu yang membantu kita mengubah kebiasaan negatif menjadi positif, dan jika kita mempelajari sumpah-sumpah dengan baik, dan kita mempelajarinya dengan cermat, dan kita memeriksanya dengan sangat teliti, dan kita memahaminya, kita akan menyadari bahwa sumpah-sumpah itu tidak memenjarakan kita dan ketika kita mengucapkan sumpah-sumpah ini, kita berada di depan tiga permata – Guru-Buddha, Dharma, dan Sangha dan kita, dari hati kita, dengan sukarela mengambil sumpah-sumpah Perlindungan dan setiap hari kita berpegang pada sumpah-sumpah Perlindungan, kita mengumpulkan pahala dari sumpah-sumpah apa pun yang telah kita ambil dan kita menciptakan pahala untuk melawan kebiasaan negatif yang berkaitan dengan sumpah itu.

 

Dasar Untuk Mengambil Sumpah dan Pahala dari Pengambilan Sumpah

Sebagai contoh, jika setiap hari Anda tidak mencuri, setiap hari Anda tidak mencuri, itu netral, Anda tidak mencuri. Tetapi jika Anda bersumpah bahwa Anda tidak akan mencuri, bahwa Anda tidak akan pernah mencuri, bahwa Anda tidak akan mencuri, setiap hari selama Anda hidup, memegang sumpah itu dan Anda tidak mencuri, Anda mengumpulkan pahala karena tidak mencuri. Pahala dari tidak mencuri adalah memiliki kepribadian yang sangat kuat di masa depan di mana ketika orang mendengarkan Anda, ketika orang mendengarkan apa yang Anda katakan dan mereka mendengarkan informasi yang anda berikan, itu akan memberi dampak yang sangat kuat dalam pikiran mereka dan juga ketika Anda tidak mencuri, di masa depan ketika Anda berbisnis atau bertani atau bekerja, pekerjaan itu akan terpenuhi dengan lebih mudah karena pahala ini.

Jadi ketika Anda tidak mencuri, dan Anda berjanji atau bersumpah untuk tidak mencuri sesuai dengan sumpah Perlindungan, maka setiap hari dalam hidup anda, Anda akan mengumpulkan pahala karena tidak mencuri dibandingkan jika Anda tidak memiliki sumpah dan jika Anda tidak mencuri, karmanya hanya netral, benar-benar netral, tidak ada yang terjadi. Sebagai contoh, seorang bayi tidak mencuri. Seorang bayi tidak mengambil, seorang bayi tidak merampok, seorang bayi tidak mampu tetapi bayi itu tidak mengumpulkan pahala dari tidak mencuri. Demikian pula jika Anda bersumpah untuk tidak berbohong, dan setiap hari Anda tidak berbohong, Anda mengumpulkan pahala karena tidak berbohong, berbeda dengan jika Anda tidak bersumpah dan tidak berbohong. Jadi, atas dasar itu, Anda dapat mengaitkannya dengan semua sumpah dan sumpah diambil dengan kekuatan dari sasaran, subjek dan dorongan, sasarannya adalah tiga permata, Buddha, Dharma dan Sangha, subjeknya adalah diri sendiri, memiliki pikiran yang sehat, memahami kekuatan sumpah dan dorongannya adalah untuk mencapai pencerahan tertinggi bagi semua makhluk hidup, untuk membawa manfaat terbesar bagi semua makhluk hidup, untuk membawa kelegaan terbesar bagi semua makhluk hidup. Untuk mencapai hal itu, kita perlu menjadi Buddha yang tercerahkan sepenuhnya. Untuk menjadi Buddha yang tercerahkan sepenuhnya, dan semua tahap yang perlu kita capai untuk menjadi Buddha yang tercerahkan sepenuhnya, kita harus bisa memulai dari suatu titik dan titik awalnya itu adalah memegang sumpah.

 

Pentingnya Memegang Sumpah

Sumpah Perlindungan berasal dari sang Buddha. Ini bukan sesuatu yang dibuat-buat. Kemudian di atas sumpah-sumpah perlindungan, Anda memiliki, berdasarkan sumpah-sumpah perlindungan, Anda memiliki sumpah-sumpah biksu, sumpah-sumpah biksuni. Di atas … berdasarkan sumpah Perlindungan, Anda memiliki sumpah Bodhisattva. Di atas dasar sumpah Perlindungan, Anda memiliki sumpah Tantra. Jadi untuk mengambil sumpah biksu atau sumpah biksuni, Anda harus memiliki sumpah Perlindungan. Tanpa sumpah Perlindungan, Anda tidak dapat memiliki sumpah lain karena sumpah Perlindungan adalah dasarnya, bukan? Jadi, sumpah Perlindungan mengajarkan Anda untuk mengendalikan tubuh, ucapan, dan pikiran pada tingkat tertentu, kemudian ketika Anda mengambil sumpah Bodhisattva, sumpah ini mengajarkan Anda untuk membangkitkan altruistik pada tingkat yang lebih tinggi. Kemudian, ketika Anda mengambil sumpah Tantra, Anda memiliki sumpah untuk mengubah cara pandang Anda terhadap dunia di sekitar Anda ke tingkat yang lebih tinggi, ke tingkat pencerahan, oke.

Jadi, ketika Anda mengambil sumpah Perlindungan, itu untuk membantu Anda mengubah kebiasaan-kebiasaan biasa Anda dari negatif menjadi positif. Ketika Anda mengambil sumpah Bodhisattva, ini membantu Anda untuk menahan diri dari tindakan-tindakan dan melakukan tindakan-tindakan yang membangkitkan dorongan dan pikiran serta kegiatan yang bersifat altruistik, dan ketika Anda mengambil sumpah Tantra, sumpah-sumpah tersebut membantu Anda untuk mengubah cara pandang Anda yang biasa. Jadi ketika Anda mengambil sumpah Tantra, sumpah tersebut membantu Anda untuk mengubah persepsi biasa menjadi persepsi tantra atau persepsi yang lebih tinggi tentang dunia di sekitar Anda. Jadi dengan kata lain, sumpah ini memberi Anda pencerahan penuh.

Jadi, tiga rangkaian sumpah itu adalah Perlindungan, Bodhisattva, dan Tantra. Sumpah-sumpah biasa, sekali lagi saya ulangi, karena tadi ada banyak kebisingan, sumpah-sumpah biasa adalah mengubah kebiasaan tubuh, wicara, dan pikiran kita, untuk melatih diri kita menuju langkah berikutnya. Sumpah Bodhisattva adalah untuk membantu kita mencapai tindakan altruistik, dorongan altruistik, pemikiran altruistik, bodhicita. Kemudian rangkaian sumpah berikutnya adalah sumpah-sumpah yang lebih tinggi sebagai sumpah-sumpah tantra, yang mengajarkan kita untuk melihat dunia di sekitar kita dengan cara yang luar biasa, dengan cara yang jernih, ringkas, dan sangat murni untuk membantu kita mencapai kekosongan, untuk membantu kita mencapai pencerahan penuh.

Jadi sumpah-sumpah Tantra, yang sangat penting untuk menjadi seorang Buddha, sumpah-sumpah Bodhisattva yang sangat penting untuk menjadi seorang Buddha dan sumpah-sumpah Perlindungan yang sangat penting untuk menjadi seorang Buddha, jika tidak diambil, Anda tidak dapat menjadi seorang Buddha. Jika Anda tidak mengambil sumpah-sumpah tersebut, yidam atau praktik meditasi apa pun yang Anda lakukan tidak akan membuahkan hasil dengan cepat untuk menjadi makhluk yang tercerahkan. Jadi tanpa sumpah-sumpah itu, bisakah Anda membuat persembahan? Tentu saja bisa. Tanpa sumpah-sumpah itu, bisakah Anda bermeditasi dan melafalkan mantra, menerapkan sutra, dan belajar? Tentu saja bisa, tapi dengan sumpah-sumpah itu, dengan kekuatan sumpah-sumpah tersebut, hasilnya berlipat ganda, pahalanya berlipat ganda, kecepatan dan kelajuannya berlipat ganda. Sebagai contoh, jika Anda ingin menangkap pencuri, jika Anda menangkap pencuri dengan menggunakan seragam polisi atau tanpa seragam, maka akan lebih cepat jika menggunakan seragam. Ini hanya sebagai contoh hipotetis saja.

Jadi seperti itu, ketika Anda memiliki sumpah, tindakan apa pun yang Anda lakukan akan dilipatgandakan, dipercepat, dan hasilnya dipercepat berdasarkan sumpah tersebut. Ingat, sumpah-sumpah ini berasal dari Buddha sendiri, jadi tidak ada yang merugikan dan anda hanya akan mendapatkan manfaat dari sumpah-sumpah ini. Begitu kita mengambil sumpah-sumpah ini, kita harus memegangnya dengan baik. Kita bisa mencari informasi mengenai sumpah Perlindungan, sumpah Bodhisattva, dan sumpah Tantra di dunia maya. Kita dapat belajar dari mereka, kita dapat menghafalnya, kita harus melafalkannya setiap hari atau setiap minggu sampai kita terbiasa dan kita harus membiasakan diri dengan sumpah-sumpah itu sampai menjadi kebiasaan dan bertindak berdasarkan sumpah-sumpah tersebut menjadi alami karena itu hanya merupakan pembiasaan ulang.

Sumpah itu tidak mengatakan bahwa Anda adalah orang tidak baik. Sumpah-sumpah itu tidak mengatakan bahwa Anda adalah orang jahat. Sumpah-sumpah itu mengatakan bahwa Anda perlu berpikir dan melangkah ke arah ini untuk mencapai pencerahan penuh. Jadi, jika Anda telah mempraktikkan integritas dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, Anda menepati janji, maka berpegang pada sumpah akan menjadi sangat sederhana. Jika biasanya Anda tidak berpegang pada integritas, maka memegang sumpah akan menjadi sulit dan jika kita melanggar sumpah, atau jika kita melakukan pelanggaran terhadap sumpah, itu akan menciptakan pahala negatif. Jika kita memegang sumpah dan itu menciptakan pahala positif dengan lebih cepat, maka dengan melanggar sumpah, Anda mengumpulkan karma negatif dengan lebih cepat dan lebih kuat. Maksud saya, sudah jelas, Anda tahu jika Anda naik perahu cepat, jika Anda melaju dengan sangat cepat, jika Anda mengalami kecelakaan, itu akan menjadi kecelakaan yang lebih parah dibandingkan dengan perahu dayung yang tidak melaju dengan cepat. Jadi, ketika Anda mengambil sumpah, Anda tidak perlu takut dengan sumpah dan berpikir “Sumpah ini dapat membuat saya pergi ke tiga alam rendah atau akan mengumpulkan banyak karma negatif”, yang membuat Anda mengumpulkan banyak karma negatif bukanlah sumpahnya. Yang mengumpulkan karma negatif adalah tidak adanya integritas. Anda tidak melatih diri Anda untuk memegang sumpah dan membiasakan diri serta mengubah kebiasaan Anda. Apakah Anda memiliki sumpah atau tidak, tidak akan menentukan apakah Anda akan pergi ke tiga alam rendah. Tindakan Anda termotivasi dan motivasi Anda adalah apa yang menciptakan sebab-sebab untuk terlahir di tiga alam rendah.

Jadi, tindakan apa pun yang Anda lakukan adalah sebab-sebab bagi Anda untuk pergi ke tiga alam rendah, lebih tinggi atau lebih rendah. Itu terserah Anda. Sumpah tidak membuat Anda pergi ke tiga alam rendah. Anda sendiri yang membuat diri Anda pergi ke 3 alam rendah. Jadi, jika Anda ingin menekuni praktik Yamantaka, Vajrayogini, Cittamani Tara, Vajrakilaya, Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, jika Anda ingin menekuni praktik Tara, Kalacakra, Guhyasamaja, Heruka, Hevajra, …. semua praktik tantra yang dapat membantu Anda untuk mencapai keberhasilan. Prasyarat dari semua praktik dan semua inisiasi tersebut haruslah mengambil dan memegang sumpah. Jangan langsung mengambil inisiasi dan berpikir bahwa “Oh, aku tidak perlu memegang sumpah. Saya bisa mengambil inisiasi dan melafalkan mantra-mantranya.” Menurut Yang Mulia Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, semua pencapaian muncul dari sumpah dan kata-kata kehormatan Anda. Itulah mengapa praktik Vajrasattva sangat penting. Kita perlu melakukan laku Vajrasattva setiap hari jika kita memiliki komitmen tantra. Mengapa? Praktik ini menghentikan dan memurnikan sumpah-sumpah yang telah dilanggar dan kadang-kadang, karena kebiasaan di masa lalu, kita akan melanggar sumpah-sumpah kita kadang-kadang, maksud saya, kita manusia biasa, tapi itu akan berkurang seiring waktu, oke.

Sekali Anda mengambil sumpah, Anda tidak langsung menjadi sempurna, tetapi sekali Anda mengucapkan sumpah, Anda berusaha menuju kesempurnaan. Ketika Anda mengucapkan sumpah, Anda tidak menjadi sempurna, tetapi Anda berjuang menuju kesempurnaan. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting bagi kita, jika kita ingin melakukan dan mendapatkan meditasi yang lebih tinggi, praktik yang lebih tinggi, pencapaian yang lebih tinggi, hasil yang lebih tinggi dalam ajaran Buddha, semua itu adalah berdasarkan sumpah-sumpah kita. Ini adalah dasar 100% dari sumpah-sumpah kita. Jika kita tidak memegang sumpah kita, dan kita melanggar sumpah kita, kita tidak bisa memperoleh hasil yang ingin kita capai melalui praktik tertentu. Jika kita ingin menjadi seorang biksu dan karena kita mengambil sumpah seorang biksu, jika kita melemparkan sumpah-sumpah kita ke angin dan kita tidak memiliki rasa hormat atau tidak menghargai sumpah-sumpah kita, dan kita melanggar sumpah-sumpah kita, maka hasil dari menjadi seorang biksu tidak akan terpenuhi, tidak akan terpenuhi.

Bagaimana mungkin kita mengenakan pakaian tantra, atau mengenakan pakaian spiritual tetapi tidak memegang sumpah dari pakaian yang kita kenakan, yang dilambangkan oleh pakaian tersebut. Jadi oleh karena itu, jika kita ingin memiliki pencapaian yang lebih tinggi dan hasil yang lebih tinggi, kita perlu memegang sumpah. Tanpa sumpah, inisiasi yang telah didapat tidak akan membawa hasil. Mengambil inisiasi dan tidak memegang sumpah tidak akan membawa hasil. Bahkan, mengambil inisiasi dan tidak memegang sumpah, akan menghasilkan lebih banyak karma negatif. Jadi, kita tidak boleh berpikir bahwa inisiasi itu merupakan hamparan luas, lama ini memberikan inisiasi itu, lama ini memberikan upacara ini, lama ini memberikan praktik itu dan aku harus berlari untuk mendapatkan semua itu dan mengambil sumpah apa saja secara berlebihan dan semena-mena, dan sesukaku, Anda tahu, itu tidak masalah. Tidak, itu penting. Itu penting. Jika Anda menjalankan latihan dengan sungguh-sungguh, Anda akan mendapatkan hasil yang sungguh-sungguh. Oleh karena itu, memegang sumpah adalah akar dari pencapaian spiritual dan dalam tantra menurut Buddha Vajradhara, memegang sumpah dan kata-kata kehormatan adalah sumber bagi kita untuk memperoleh pencapaian-pencapaian yang lebih tinggi, kesadaran yang lebih tinggi, kemampuan-kemampuan yang lebih tinggi untuk memberi manfaat bagi orang lain, dan alasan utama kita memegang sumpah adalah karena welas asih kepada orang lain. Ketika kita memiliki welas asih kepada orang lain, kita memegang sumpah kita. Ketika kita memegang sumpah kita, kita memperoleh pengalaman, kita memperoleh hasil dari meditasi kita, kita memperoleh kemampuan khusus untuk lebih melayani orang lain. Jadi memegang sumpah adalah karena mengasihi orang lain, jadi memegang sumpah muncul dari praktik integritas yang sederhana dan sekuler. Jika kita memiliki integritas, maka orang lain akan menghormati kita. Jika orang lain menghormati kita, kita dapat melakukan lebih banyak hal untuk mereka. Kita dapat mencapai lebih banyak hal bersama mereka. Kita dapat melakukan lebih banyak hal untuk orang lain jika kita memiliki integritas.

Jadi oleh karena itu, saya pikir tanpa harus mengambil inisiasi yang lebih tinggi dan praktik yang lebih tinggi kita harus mulai hari ini dengan apa? Kita harus mulai hari ini juga dengan memiliki integritas. Jika kita adalah orang yang berintegritas, maka itu baik adanya. Jika kita adalah orang yang di masa lalu sering mengingkari janji dan komitmen kita, kita harus memulainya hari ini. Kita harus berubah hari ini. Memiliki integritas memberi kita ketenangan pikiran. Memiliki integritas memberikan ketenangan pikiran bagi orang-orang di sekitar kita. Memiliki integritas membuat orang menyukai kita dan menghormati kita, serta memudahkan kita untuk bergaul dengan teman-teman kita. Memiliki integritas menarik orang-orang dengan kualitas yang sama dan karakter yang sama yang dapat menyelesaikan lebih banyak pekerjaan dengan Anda atau hanya menjadi teman yang baik. Memiliki integritas dan teman-teman yang berintegritas adalah persahabatan sejati. Memiliki pasangan atau istri atau suami yang berintegritas, kalian berdua berbagi integritas, itu adalah hubungan yang nyata, itu adalah bergabungnya orang-orang yang baik. Memiliki integritas adalah contoh yang baik untuk anak-anak kita, dan mereka tumbuh menjadi orang-orang yang berintegritas.

Jadi hari ini, di pasar terapung yang indah di sini, di Amphawa, saya ingin memberikan sedikit ceramah tentang integritas kepada Anda semua dengan semua orang yang berlalu lalang dan perahu-perahu serta sungai dan beberapa toko yang buka. Orang-orang yang baik, perahu-perahu yang bagus, sungai-sungai yang indah, pemandangan yang indah untuk Anda, tetapi saya sangat berharap semua orang akan mempraktikkan integritas dan menepati janji karena ini adalah 100% jalan yang benar untuk dilalui, terlepas dari apakah Anda seorang yang spiritual atau tidak dan jika Anda ingin menuju ke praktik dan hasil spiritual yang lebih tinggi, integritas adalah kuncinya. Terima kasih dan selamat malam.

    Mount Wutai is a sacred Buddhist mountain. The cultural landscape is home to forty-one monasteries. Its central area is surrounded by a cluster of flat-topped peaks or mesas roughly corresponding to the cardinal directions. Significance of Mount Wutai is one of the Four Sacred Mountains in Chinese Buddhism. Each of the mountains is viewed as the bodhimaṇḍa of one of the four great bodhisattvas. Wu Tai San is the home of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Manjushri. Beautiful architectural temples have been built since from the 1st century AD to the early 20th century. The temples are inseparable from their mountain landscape. Those monasteries of Mount Wutai remain an important repository of Buddhist culture. Every year it has attract thousands of pilgrims from across a wide part of Asia. Mount Wutai is an exceptional testimony to the cultural tradition of religious mountains that are developed with monasteries. The temples demonstrate a long history of construction and reconstruction. Wutai Shan is worth visiting for its rich Buddhist culture, historical temples, and stunning natural scenery. Visitors can experience a spiritual atmosphere, see numerous temples. I am fortunate joining Kechara group visiting these Holy places at Wu tai Shan years back, witnessing the beauty of the mountain landscape, even though that time some areas still be under construction and can be crowded. Beyond its cultural sites, the mountain offers impressive natural scenery with lush greenery, mountain streams, and panoramic views.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing as it reminds me of my pilgrimage trip.

    The right attitude when receiving offerings is one of gratitude, humility, and joy, recognizing the act as an expression of the giver’s generosity and a means to fulfil their spiritual path. It is important to accept gifts graciously, as refusing them can be impolite or seen as rejecting someone’s kindness. Appreciate the giver’s generosity and understand that the offering represents a sacrifice of their own resources. Rejoice in the giver’s generosity: Be happy for the giver’s spiritual practice of making the offering, which helps them to reduce their own attachments to material possessions. In Buddhism, receiving offerings requires an attitude of rejoicing in the giver’s generosity, understanding the offering as a practice for the donor, and a commitment to use it to benefit others. Recipients should have a compassionate and selfless motivation, viewing the act as a mutual opportunity for generosity and a way to help the giver reduce their attachments. Well using the offering wisely to further spiritual practice and the benefit of all sentient beings. We encouraged to make offerings to the Three Jewels but even more so, we are encouraged to make offerings to our gurus, considered the most precious of all. A precise teachings from this post.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Khong Jean Ai.

    Offering butter lamps is a Buddhist practice symbolizing wisdom dispelling ignorance. Many benefits when we offer butter lamps such as accumulating merit, purifying negativity, achieving spiritual clarity, and receiving blessings for wealth and well-being. The act is a powerful act of devotion, helps guide the deceased, and is used to focus one’s mind for meditation. When we practices with correct motivation it lead us to greater wisdom, clarity of mind, and the ability to discern virtue from non-virtue. The ultimate goal is to use this practice as a step toward enlightenment and liberation from suffering. The flame of the lamp symbolizes wisdom, and lighting it represents the removal of the darkness of ignorance and confusion. Awesome …offering butter lamps is seen as a way to generate good karma and merit for oneself and others. As this light offerings brings happiness, liberation from suffering, enlightenment, and the ability to help others as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing. with the detailed explanation of why we do butter lamps. A profound teachings.

    Am so glad to be expressing my profound gratitude to a man that is so concerned about other people’s well being. I was suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE II) The doctors keep telling me that there is no cure but i believe that there is a cure somewhere and they don’t want people to get cured. I tried searching online if I could see anything that will help me and a comment on online on how Dr Ehi help to cure herpes with herbs and i also saw so many comments about him on many web pages on how he had helped and cured so many people suffering from HERPES 1$2, HPV, CANCER, HIV/AIDS, COLD SORE etc. So I contacted him through his email and I shared my problems with him and he sent me the herbs through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it. It took me two weeks to finish the herbs and after I finished using it, he told me to go for a medical test, behold the result was negative, now I am HERPES VIRUS free. I just want to use this platform to thank Dr Ehi for curing me from that horrible disease and also for exposing his herbal cure to the world at large, please you can as well contact Dr Ehi on his email below.

    Found this old post , an example shown to us how compassionate Rinpoche was, helping those vendors on the streets . No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Be kind whenever possible we could do to help those in need. It is always possible. In the second video showing how much care Rinpoche serving foods to workers and sharing, explaining with them about Dharma. Rinpoche kindness in action has inspired us to be kind and helping those who might fighting a hard battle. Everywhere we go, leave a glitter trail of kindness behind us if possible..
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Seng Piow

    Pilgrimage is important in Buddhism because it deepens spiritual understanding, fosters a connection to the Buddha’s life and teachings. It also provides us the opportunities for personal transformation. It helps practitioners to purify negative karma, cultivate positive merit, and strengthen their devotion to the Three Jewels. Visiting sacred sites can also inspire virtuous conduct and a sense of urgency in practicing the faith. Some places of pilgrimage have powerful energy which can bring our mind to present moment. Major sites of Buddhist pilgrimage are often found in northern India in places associated with the Buddha’s life, teaching and enlightenment. Going on a pilgrimage gives us a chance to step away from the chaos of our schedules.
    Reading this article again reminds me of my pilgrimage to Nepal years back,. It’s a once life time trip but I am glad made it twice.
    It’s a great memories for Pastor David and Paul who brought their parents om pilgrimage to India and Nepal. Awesome …they embarked on a spiritual journey in India and Nepal visited sacred temples, ancient Buddhist sites and Serpom Monastery.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing

    The Nature of the mind is a central concept across various philosophical traditions, It generally refers to the mind’s intrinsic characteristics. As it believed to encompass awareness, purity, and a capacity for both peace and agitation. Most spiritual traditions offer some combination of four practices for those who would seek to know their true nature. We could self-transform through training our mind. When we face difficult situations and things go poorly in our lives, if we’re able to change our attitudes toward them, we’ll be able to transform these experiences into ones that will further our spiritual progress. A profound teachings indeed for us to understand more about the true nature of our minds and how we can transform our minds through sincerely practicing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing

    Wow…..800 White Tara statues been offered to HE Tsem Rinpoche from the Board of Directors in Kechara. Tsem Rinpoche kept 3 and the rest was offered to the monks in Shar Gaden Monastery back in 2013. That’s more beneficial and having arranged these statues shipped to India for the monks at the monastery on Rinpoche behalf. October 2014, Beng Kooi and her team of 5 people, along with 29 pilgrims had their first experience travelling to a monastic setting. Rejoice to them such a meaningful journey whereby they met with many high lamas and many old, holy monks. They did offered the White Tara statues, robes, books, food, drinks and many wonderful and beautiful pictures offerings to the monks. Looking at those pictures in this blog post tells more. Truly a great memories for them.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    8 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
