What is most important for your Freedom?

Article summary

Think wisely on below given facts as they are extremely supportive to liberate yourself from the prison you have become a prisoner of.

The dhamma explains how important to have an open mind for your own liberation. Rather than clinging to various views and standards, let yourself experience the real freedom.

  • Do not accept / believe or do not reject at once anything simply because you have heard it!
  • Do not accept / believe or do not reject at once anything simply because it’s spoken and rumored by many!
  • Do not accept / believe or do not reject at once anything simply because it’s found written in your religious books or other sacred books!
  • Do not accept / believe or do not reject at once anything simply because merely on the authority of your teachers and elders!
  • Do not accept / believe or do not reject at once traditions simply because they have been handed down for many generations!

Then how you should clarify which to accept / believe OR which to reject?

Simply match the things you hear, read or found to this simple theory explained by the coolest teacher called Lord Samma Sambuddha. Because they are indeed so supportive for all of us in these days!

"If any teaching leads you to get rid of the Desire / expectations / attachments / craving… (Ragaya) and supports to cool yourself… that’s what you should accept and develop within as a teaching”
“If any teaching leads you to get rid of the Anger / Hatred / Conflict thoughts… (Dweshaya) and supports to cool yourself… that’s what you should accept and develop within as a teaching”
“If any teaching leads you to get rid of the unawareness / ignorance / false visions … (Mohaya) and supports to cool yourself… that’s what you should accept and develop within as a teaching”

If you have a doubt about the above written facts too; then of course use your wisdom to examine carefully on them and imagine if they applied to your life how cool you can be and how easily you can save yourself from many conflicts you have already created for yourself.

At the end of the day you should not be burning in side… you shouldn’t be restless… you shouldn’t feel unsatisfactory feelings… you shouldn’t be stress or in any kind of pain… at the end of the day you should be cool and feel peaceful. Then only you can experience the bliss of being neutralize and pure happiness comes from the absolutism!
