Evaporizing Bad States ... !!!

March 6, 2006

Friends:

Instant dispelling of bad thoughts evaporates all Evil States!!!

The Blessed Buddha once said:When, bhikkhus and friends, while one is trying to behave good & cleaver, if occasionally due to a lapse of awareness, a momentary neglect occurs & evil detrimental memories and bad intentions connected with mental chains arise in one, slow might be the rearising of one's awareness, but one should ultra-quickly leave these thoughts, dispel the obsessions, end these impulses, thereby eradicating any phobia and mania. Imagine a man who let a tiny drop of water fall onto an iron plate heated for a whole day on the stove... Slow might be his letting go of the water drop, but then it would quickly vaporize and vanish. So too, while one is neglecting acute awareness & the mind strays back into the mental blocks of evil detrimental memories & bad intentions, slow might be the rearising of one's awareness, yet then one should instantly leave these thoughts, dispel these obsessions, end these impulses, thereby eradicating any disadvantageous and afflicting phobia and mania. It is in exactly this waythat a bhikkhu has comprehended an ideal mode of behaviour & habit of living that prevents any evil detrimental mental state of avariciousness, lust, greed, envy, jealousy & discontent in flowing in upon, enveloping & dominating him...
