How can we choose Brightness over Blindness?
Our own consciousness is an incredible and eternal force.
It cannot be created nor destroyed but exists on its own. Through the process of reincarnation, the connections we have with others may change, but the heart itself remains the same.
Blind action, or taking actions without fully understanding the consequences, leads us to reincarnation.
But, according to Buddha, by observing eternal wisdom and truly understanding ourselves, we can avoid this cycle and reach enlightenment, or "Por Ler Bour Ler (Heart Sutra)."
The potential and pureness of the heart are the same for all people, but the level of development can vary, leading to different appearances and outcomes.
Each person has the power to create brightness or blindness.
Because our hearts have unlimited force, and they remain free, we always have two directions or gates: One leading to wisdom and compassion and the other to ignorance. Brightness vs Blindness.
How to choose blindness? Change nothing. In a world of blind causation, we can just go with the flow!
How to choose brightness? To reach our true potential by choosing any one of the 4 Eternal Hearts:
The 4 Eternal hearts are:
kindness without ego,
Care without negative personal emotion
Joy without stupidity
Freedom from greed
By guiding our blindness towards these eternal hearts, we can overcome ignorance and cultivate a deeper understanding of the world around us.
In summary, the heart is an eternal and indestructible force that exists within each and every one of us. By understanding ourselves and striving towards enlightenment, we can overcome the cycle of reincarnation and tap into the boundless potential of the four eternal hearts.
