Even if coming in touch with relation, relatives: Once refuge is broken by improper deeds, it's hard to find ways to renew it and not drift apart. Wheres those having gained change of ancestor-ship are sure of no more breaking away, sure of security of the haven in the Gems.

Mudita.

Mudita is something, like all Brahmaviharas, that needs to start by oneself. Given the topic, althought such accounts are often not beloved as they easy could seem as a doing a favor, it is because of one's many sacrifices in the past, one's merits done, past and present, that such as this so seldom relation and tendency toward Buddha, his Dhamma, his Sangha, has been gained.

That's not just easy talked, but can be "easy" observed. So far appart, living in areas of grave wrong view, far away from the traditions and absence of Dhamma, and yet able to enter a dhammic forest and leave home. If thinking right that is not at all a reason for sadness and Nyom Cheav Villa and others, living relative near physical, will possible confirm that such is wealth 1 under 10.000 even in a traditional country.

Only one who knows "his" wealth, knows the worth of it, is not only be able to recognize wealth of others but also to rejoice with it, appreciate it. And in this way ones real wealth increases.

Balance, equanimity, is something that develops by itself, based on faith (acting according the Dhamma), no will required.

Maybe Nyom angela tries to climb up this Sublime Dwelling of Mudita and rejoice by sharing her merits seen here with all beings, starting by her parents and supporter down to those now in more bad states and up to the highest Gods and those on the path.

Dwelling in gratitude with the Brahmas, starting by ones parents, is actually already a borderland to the Noble Domain, relation.

Dwelling there often while having certain touch by the Juwels, seeking refuge in the Juwels, it's possible to leave home and stand, once left, possible to hear and see the Dhamma and sure of change in relation on that, relation that is destinated to freedom from suffering, Unbound.

(Needed basics, such as the powerful mudita, sharing merits, appreciating them is as good as unknow in moder/western world, no trader in Dhamma would ever be able toteach it. Maybe some ideas on it here , to make use of a tool leading till highest Awakening, only real rich, related, can practice.)

Hello Johann,

thank you for this words. I have to accept that. sadness is present. I have no equanimity. i have to work  on it.
expectation is not good, she will sooner or later be disappointed...i have to accept that. I know that ... I have to pay attention to the balance
I need to overcome the animal
and need it> to stay with me and work on me. I have to change, not the others

I am here for that and I am glad to have found you
I am happy to be here and look forward to inspirational conversation

many thanks
angela(its my real name)

Not related, not having strong condition (Upanissaya), it's not possible to gain something from another, not possible to give.

Hard to meet, get in touch, physical, harder by words and signs, and even harder then this, to meet within a similar state of mind, come into the same sphere of awareness ("being"). Like if a human meets an animal, gods human, and even those easy capable to change their dwelling, could only provide of what could be taken in certain sphere.

Only if there is strong relation, strong "bound" (faith, trust, confidence, "love"), one could guide another into other sphere of awareness, where certain food can be given, received.

Someone having abound the fetter of "on-group-holding-view" is how ever capable to receive by will from all, give by will to all, and this is the door to gain relation toward the Noble Ones.

Other relations are bound and repeat on and on. To change here requires a lot of doing of merits. While the giving and taking between worldlings and those beyond, purified gifts, have huge impacts, are of great merits.

Ven. and good Buddha-Parisata, Interested,

Upasaka, Upasika Guest, and who ever may be touched on inspiration to give into,

What is meant by the impossibility "A Buddha can not help someone not related to him, no relative of him"?

Is said to be one of the three things a/the Buddha can not do. How should that be understood? And what is needed to become one that a Buddha could help?




Ehrw. und gute Buddha-Parisata, Interesierte,

Upasaka, Upasika Guest, und wer immer an der Inspiration der Hin(ein)gabe berührt sein mag,

Was ist mit der Unmöglichkeit "Ein Buddha kann einem ohne Bezug zu Ihm, ohne ein Verwandter zu sein, nicht helfen!", gemeint, wie ist dies zu verstehen?

Es wird gesagt, daß es eine der drei Dinge ist, die ein/der Buddha nicht vermag. Wie soll man es verstanden sehen? Und was ist erforderlich, um zu Einem zu werden, dem der Buddha helfen kann?
