Transcript

today I would like to talk about about a baker oh becca in English you would translate as equanimity there's 11 pickney in our in our residence she told me that when she listened to my Dharma talk she understands very well but then she meditate she meditated on a baker which she understand as a let go of everything so as a result right after Dharma talk if you ask her what what did whenever mother talked about she will not be able to answer and this has been repeatedly many times so as a result she confessed that this is what she actually did always practice Oh Baker with the understanding that she let go of everything so I think it's important that we understand the word Oh Baker Baker could be in the for grammar vihara that is you have meta meta loving kindness Karuna compassion mutita mutita is you have how to say you have joy you have joy for others success and the last one is equanimity wake up equanimity now in order for you to practice Oh Baker this has been misunderstood by many people in my country at least they jump into practicing equanimity let go of everything in fact before you can come to Oh Baker have you already expressed your loving-kindness have you expressed your compassion if you have not one number one number two number three then you practice that the fourth one that is opaque are actually it is not equanimity but you simply do not care do not care so come back again to understand first of all you have to express loving kindness you have to express compassion for others you have do love others and you want to see them happy and if someone may not be happy someone may be in pain someone in sickness you express your care by taking care of them unless we all have done this to the point that you cannot do anything more then Oh Baker then you have to settle you have to keep your mind in equanimity stage that is let karma let karma takes its own tall this is how we expect and we understand opaque up now becca is also in in atomic practice you know channel practice with form rupa china mobile channel started with with Vito Vita and piti sukha cotta and Oh Baker the trouble is that you have not experienced the first one second one third one yet but you jump again you jump 20 Baker equanimity equanimity does not mean that you just simply let go of everything equanimity means that when something that you like comes in something that you don't like comes in to your present stage of mine you are able to handle it equally someone speak very harshly about you someone praised you you can keep your mental equilibrium so to say someone means they're very nasty thing about you you are not angry and you actually have compassion for that person or someone pressed you you don't float like you don't float like a balloon you know you understand that after all it's only the sound the sound that hits your ears and that's it you can let go the same way as other people may speak harshly about you if you can work ways if you can keep your mind in equanimity that is obika more than just leave that you just put out everything you cannot put down everything because in that chanock stage there is one thing that you always have to constantly be knowing that knowing mind must be there it's not putting down everything and you don't know anything that is not a baker so this is one point that I would like to share with you today
