The suffering and pain in life sometimes make us lose our way and we don't know how to deal with it. However, Buddhist wisdom tells us that the secret to happiness from suffering may lie in the concept of dependent voidness. In this article, let's dive deeper into the true meaning of dependent voidness and how to find the path to liberation in it.
Dependent voidness is one of the most important core teachings of Buddhism, and the Buddha was so clever that he saw this truth 2,500 years ago, but still many of us still can't see it clearly. What does dependent voidness mean? It is all the people outside the body, the things outside the body, and the things outside the body that you can see, all because of the fate of the same frequency and mind attraction in a specific time and space.
Everything that appears in your life, their essence is impermanent, they will definitely live in outer space, they will live and die, they are not eternal, they will eventually disappear, including your relatives and lovers, career, wealth, ability, health, connections, fame, status, power, house, car, the essence of this world is emptiness is color, color is emptiness.
Everything arises from fate, starts from nothing, and eventually becomes empty. The events of this world, from the moment they began, were destined to be empty. Parents, husbands and wives, children, siblings, friends, know 、......All love, all hate, all ever and had. All that is gained, will be lost. All existence will eventually dissipate. This high-rise building will eventually collapse. All this prosperity will eventually fall silent.
Everything in this world, the colorful colors, are just the blinded hearts of the people. You and I, from nothing to nothing. Just a journey of the heart. Start empty, end empty. All greed, hatred, ignorance, suspicion, all possession and loss. With your hands, stretch out long, grasp tightly, see clearly with your thoughts, hide far away, all your hearts and thoughts, joys, sorrows, and joys, are empty, and they will all come to fruition.
In my heart, greed, hatred, and suspicion are broken. All of a sudden, it was as if I was breathing with the world and with everyone, rejoicing together, and being able to understand all people and things.
3.1 The heart is enslaved
If we don't know this truth, what stupid actions will people do, and what kind of suffering will people suffer? He no longer seeks inward, no longer guards his spirit, no longer attaches importance to the construction of internal projects, no longer cherishes physical and mental energy, but is enslaved, manipulated and consumed by people and things outside his body, and he will think that his happiness and happiness depend on people and things outside his body.
As a result, his spiritual energy was stuck and sucked away by people and things outside his body. However, because people and things outside the body will inevitably change and will be empty, their hearts will also experience the ups and downs of joy, anger, worry, sorrow, and fear, and suffer in troubles, anxiety, and pain.
3.2. Dependence on the outside world
When you are troubled, anxious and painful, you can set a set to find the root cause of the disease, what is the principle of pain? One day, the phase is bad and empty, the heart can't accept it, can't stand it, and suffers.
Let's say you're in love with someone. The lover lives in your heart, one day the lover changes his mind, you are miserable, you are obsessed with money, money lives in your heart, one day you lose money and you are miserable, you are obsessed with your parents, when your parents are sick, you are miserable, you are obsessed with children, children live in your heart, one day your children begin to rebel and unfilial, you are miserable.
In short, whatever aspect you have, what aspect dwells in your heart, and when this aspect becomes bad or disappears, you begin to suffer.
3.3. Understand impermanence
No matter what kind of troubles, anxieties and pains you are experiencing right now, according to the following steps, you can write it down and ask yourself, what is the cause of my troubles and anxieties at this moment, and is this thing that makes me annoyed and anxious and painful is it a person or thing outside the body? Does he live in my heart? Has my heart always been glued to him? Is the trouble, anxiety, and pain in my heart caused by his deep depression?
Since people and things outside my body are impermanent, why should I let my mind suffer along with his impermanence? Don't I understand the most basic truth of life? The things in the body are empty, the things in the body are real, grasp outward, and eventually grasp the emptiness of one hand, seek inward, and eventually grasp happiness, joy, abundance, and perfection.
4.1. Observe the body and mind
The most important thing is to settle your soul and take care of your body. The people and things outside of my body that I want to grasp should be the manifestation of the attracted sensations after I have worked hard to cultivate to make myself better and my overall life energy stronger. Precious mental energy should be used in the right way and in the right place. Instead of idling and wasting on the impermanence of people and things outside of your body that you can't control, I am perfect and abundant at this moment.
For the sake of peace of mind, joy and happiness, we should empty our minds of distracting thoughts and maintain a state of zero limit where we want nothing and think about nothing. Settle down and surrender to their hearts, let every second live more slowly, move to find a thing that they love, and use it to dedicate to sentient beings, serve sentient beings, and make your life more joyful and fulfilling.
4.2. Experience inner change
Am I unhappy because I lack people and things outside of my body, or am I not capable of being happy because I haven't found my true self that is more energetic and wise? Ask yourself these words, whenever you are anxious and suffering because you can't see the truth of the dependent voidness of this world, just reflect deeply on these questions, and you will be liberated in an instant, and you will even feel that your troubles, anxieties and pains are ridiculous.
4.3. Let go of attachments
Whenever the mind fluctuates a little and the mood is a little unstable, reflect on yourself in order, completely empty yourself and return to a quiet state, so that your inner energy is not consumed by people and things in the outside world, and you have always maintained a state of tranquility and joy. Then the new energy can be used for more valuable and effective things, to attract the appearance of better people and things with the sense of manifestation and summoning at the same frequency as my conscious energy.
The concept of dependent voidness is not only a Buddhist philosophy, but also a path to liberation and wisdom of life. When we have a deep understanding of the meaning of dependent voidness, we will be able to find the secret of happiness in life. Let us put aside attachment and greed, let go of inherent concepts, learn to accept the impermanence and change of things, and face everything with a calm mind. Perhaps, it is under the guidance of the wisdom of dependent voidness that we can find inner peace and liberation, and truly experience the beauty of happiness from suffering. May we all be able to find the meaning and direction of our lives in this wisdom.
