How does one cultivate uplifted energy (paggaha)?

Venerable members of the Sangha,
walking in front Fellows in leading the holly life.

     

In Respect of the Triple Gems, Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, in Respect of the Elders of the community  , my person tries to answer this question. Please, may all knowledgeable Venerables and Dhammika, out of compassion, correct my person, if something is not correct and fill also graps, if something is missing.

Valued Upasaka, Upasika, Aramika(inis),
dear Readers and Visitors,

 

- Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa  -

The Buddha used always the Goad-stick , and never candies... death man (still) walking!

What ever forces samvega ("fear") in regard of the world, thinking about sickness, oldage, death, the endless causes of suffering, reflecting that there is only this path, grave fear of not catching the leaving train and to remember how seldom the gain of a human existence, not stupid, meeting even the Dhamma, is. At least that neither kusala citta not the possibility to escape is for sure.

What ever else makes one see once head burning, all of that, in relation of seeing an escape, is nurishment for increasing energy. Like a man is capable to gain outstanding power and energy sin face of death or seeing his beloved in trouble. Without samvega energy required can not be found and lazyness will burn chances down.

A useful reading since people don't know about the need of samvega at large: Affirming the Truths of the Heart: The Buddhist Teachings on Samvega & Pasada , since you can not trust your ideas of how to use energy for happiness alone.

So hury up, the next hour of a good existence is not for sure! See the death man walking!
