Be aware of your wound. Don't help it to grow

July 16, 2014

You carry your wound. With the ego, your whole being is a wound. And you carry it around. Nobody is interested in hurting you, nobody is positively waiting to hurt you; everybody is engaged in safeguarding his own wound. Who has got the energy? But still it happens, because you are so ready to be wounded, so ready, just waiting on the brink for anything.

You cannot touch a man of Tao. Why? – because there is no one to be touched. There is no wound. He is healthy, healed, whole. This word whole is beautiful. The word heal comes from the whole, and the word holy also comes from the whole. He is whole, healed, holy.

Be aware of your wound. Don't help it to grow, let it be healed; and it will be healed only when you move to the roots. The less the head, the more the wound will heal; with no head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.

Just for twenty-four hours, try it – total acceptance, whatsoever happens. Someone insults you, accept it; don't react, and see what happens. Suddenly you will feel an energy flowing in you that you have not felt before. ~Osho

    Osho needs to question the Law of self defence. If someone insults you?, surely you are within your Rights to defend yourself. And there is no Law against self defence, they should not start by insulting you in the first place. And there is no Law against defending the innocent either.

    My dear +Gwendolyn Davidson Very please to see you always. Like Osho said, just practice this for twenty-four hours and see what happens. This is an abstract teaching, not concrete enough for everyone to understand. Matches perfectly with what I have learned from all my masters. It's not easy for everyone to do. Good deed is very difficult to practice, while bad deed is just the opposite.

    yes, because if we show ourselves to be vulnerable to others, they will pounce upon the opportunity of inflicting more pinches of salt to the wound. Rather what we should practice is to heal the wound and be protected by HIS  grace.

    Some one abused Buddha, Buddha kept his cool, Buddha's fellow monk got angry and questioned Buddha, why he is not reacting.
    Buddha said, what is there to react, you received the abuse so you react but, i didn't!

    Our wounds are different some could be arrogance,pride,greed,cruel,theft, and total disrespect to laws. One has to parcel his/her wounds to avoid smelling.

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
