All People Can Become Buddhas.
If the goal of life is long-term happiness for themselves and others, the effort to target it in a practical way is the most meaningful and reasonable. Although material can bring a little happiness, but the source of true happiness is the mind. Having fully developed the ability and overcome all defects, we will become a Buddha, a source of happiness not only for ourselves, but for everyone. We can do this; Everyone can become a Buddha, because we all have the full elements inside to help us achieve that goal. Everyone has the Buddha Nature.
Buddhism emphasizes that all people can become Buddhas, but what does the Buddha mean? A Buddha who has completely eliminated all defects, corrected all shortcomings and realized all potential. From the beginning, they are like me, being human beings, have many difficulties in life. Because of ignorance of reality, there are unrealistic expectations that believe in them, so difficulties continue to occur beyond their control, and result in afflictions and impulsive behavior. However, they are aware that delusions do not fit reality, and Because of the strong resolve to get rid of the suffering that ignorance has created, in the end, they no longer believe in delusions in the mind. So they do not have afflictions and end all impulsive behavior.
In this process, they have developed positive emotions such as compassion for all sentient beings, and maximum help for others. They have grown up loving kindness for all sentient beings like their mother's love for their only child. Thanks to the power of compassion towards all, the universal aspiration of all sentient beings, their understanding of reality is becoming stronger. After all, it is so strong that their minds no longer project the deceptive appearance that all things and all beings live on apart from other dharmas. They see, without any hindrance, that all existences are interrelated and interdependent.
Through this achievement they attained enlightenment and became Buddhas. Their mind and ability to communicate their thoughts have overcome all limits. Now, they are able to universalize all sentient beings in the utmost and practical way, knowing that every being will benefit from any teaching, but even the Buddha is not omnipotent. The Buddha can only make a positive impact on those who are open, accept his advice, and those who follow the teachings.
The Buddha says that all sentient beings can attain what he has accomplished, all of which can become Buddhas. That's because we all have basic factors to support ourselves. This factor is the "Buddha Nature".
Neuroscience talks about the flexibility of the brain, which is the ability to change and develop new brain nerve lines throughout life. When a certain part of the brain controls a function, such as using the right arm, becomes paralyzed, physical therapy can help the brain to develop new neural pathways to help us left hand Recent studies have shown that meditation, such as compassion, can also create new nerve pathways to bring more happiness and peace. Because the mind can affect such physiological changes, one can talk about the flexibility of the mind, like talking about the flexibility of the brain. His mental events, and therefore his personality, are not static and fixed, and can be stimulated to develop new neural lines as the most basic factor,
At the physiological level, whenever we do, say or think about something constructive, we will create and strengthen a positive nerve pathway, making it easier, so that The probability of repeating that action is higher. At the spiritual level, Buddhism says that in the same way, we also create positive energy and potential. The stronger the network of such positive energy, especially the more beneficial it is, the stronger it becomes. Positive power, when it comes to the universality of all sentient beings as a Buddha, helps us to achieve our goal of becoming a useful person on a global level.
Similarly, the more focused on the absence of whatever is true, corresponding to the false projection of reality, the less we make those nerves, first of all Also believe in nonsense in mind, and do not project them. In the end, our minds will be free of delusional mental pathways, which also end up defilements and habits of impulsive action based on these nerve pathways. Instead, we will now develop the nerve lines of the precepts. When these nerve lines are strengthened by the goal of attaining the omniscient mind of the Buddha, knowing the universality of each sentient being in the best way, the mental network will help us to attain the mind of the Buddha. Buddha.
Because everyone has the body, the means to communicate with others, mainly through speech, and mind, so that is the material to achieve the body, speech, the mind of the Buddha. These three are also elements of Buddha Nature. Similarly, we all have good qualities at some level, which are the self-preservation instinct, the preservation of the race, the motherhood and fatherhood, and so on. and affect others. These are also elements of Buddha nature; They are the material to nourish good qualities such as loving kindness and compassion, and the enlightened activities of a Buddha.
When one observes the way the mind works, one can discover other elements of the Buddha Nature. Everyone is capable of receiving information, classifying dhammas of the same quality, distinguishing individuality of dharmas, cognitive responses, and perceiving objects. These are the ways in which our mental activity is limited to the present, but it is also the material for attaining Buddhahood, which is when it operates at the highest potential.
Because everyone has the material to become a Buddha, it is only necessary to have the motivation and perseverance to attain enlightenment. Progression is never a straight line: one day is better, one is worse; The way to go to Buddhahood is long and not easy, but the more you remind yourself of the Buddha nature, the more you will avoid the more disloyalty. Just remember that there is nothing inherently wrong with yourself. With good motivation and strong practical training, cooperative compassion and wisdom skillfully.
