In many of the suttas we often see images of the Buddha also suffering from illness. Yes, the body is sure to have disease. So where is the source of it? Disease is also caused by causality, karma causation. It starts with the birth of man. People are always sick whether it is in their body or mind that is sure. People with a healthy mind and good deeds are less likely to suffer from mental problems than those with mental illness. If all the problems of mind are removed, then that is liberation. People with strong body but heart disease are more likely to suffer than people with only problems in the body. The sickness is painful and the sickness is suffering. Dhamma can not help us out of pain, but it can help eradicate suffering.

Body sick

The body that arises is due to the accumulation of toxins, including mental as well as physical. Or bring in the body of food that is not good for the body that we do not know or do not notice because of the habit. Then from that time onwards, these toxins were not completely excreted out and it stayed in the body and it was then the body formed. There is a question of why these toxins do not form a disease. The answer is that each person's body is not the same, one is weak on one but strong on the other, partly due to genetic factors from the parent. Toxins accumulate in the body when it exceeds certain limits that the body can no longer tolerate, so also that people are born disease.

The sick and the sick are also sick

A person who has not learned as well as hears the Dharma, surely when confronted with the arising, the sweet or the calamitous as well as the emanation of the body, he will not know the truth, so this It can arise the idea of ​​craving, fondness, pre-passion, and then lead to self that self is the subject of life, or assume that this identity is me. Because of such attachments, when the body develops disease or mutation and is corrupted, the mind is also affected by which causes birth, brain, suffering, fear, nostalgia, not let go. , causing obstacles to release and aggravating the disease.

Heart disease is suffering

The sickness in our souls is largely due to the habit of hugging ourselves on things that are not ours. Human nature we always take what can be seen or touched in this world. When it comes to mental illness, it is impossible not to mention three kinds of toxic: greed, anger and delusion are the things that can be seen or touched in this world. Things are always hidden in us.

Do not be sick

When we are sick, our mind is not sick, even though we are sick, we will always be optimistic, confident and diligent in our efforts to practice the Buddha's teachings. The object of meditation is to try to relax, to live freely, so that you can transform all the created karmas that overcome the disease. But when the mind is sick, it is certain that even if the body is healthy there is nothing happy. Let each of us live like the spirit that the Buddha always guides to find out the truth of it, when the human person has understood as well as the truth of the dharma itself will no longer see fear. or anxiety whenever illness, affective effects or some accident occur in normal life.

Knowing the body is the root of suffering, not being dominated by it, surely our mind will be peaceful, even if the life of rebirth or the fame in front of us is not shaken. Self is self-centered, not let the greedy heart, anger, delusion raging hurt themselves and people. Be generous open the compassion to love all creatures and the needy. To present yourself and the person who is happy after liberation.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/9/2017.
