Pure Inner Wisdom
">
By Luang Phaw Dhammajayo
"> Many people have informed me that after they have practiced
meditation, their daily behaviours and abilities to resolve problems improve
significantly. Those who have not experienced meditation might wonder how this
is possible. People who shared their experience with me all agree that, even
though they haven’t been practicing meditation for very long, they can feel
that they are calmer and more tranquil. Those who have ugly tempers find
themselves more patient. Some say that their minds are more alert. They are
able to organize their thinking in a much better way, are more articute and
feel more self-assured.
Moreover, they become more creative and decisive. These
qualities benefitted their careers greatly. All of them feel that their
thoughts and speech originate from a pure and powerful source.
A person who earnestly meditates and attains the Dhammakaya
will discover that wisdom lies within. When we meditate, a bright light will
emerge. We will be able to see this inner light as clear as daylight, yet its
glow is gentler and more sublime. If we keep seeing this inner light, we will
uncover its origin which resembles a crystal ball, much like the sun in the sky
which is the source of the golden brightness in the world. With attainment of
the Dhammakaya through meditation, follows the desire to find the inner wisdom
which is the secret of life.
The study of inner wisdom will never be associated
with loneliness and sorrow. Rather, it is a search for true and lasting joy.
The Dhammakaya will reveal all secrets and leave us without doubts. We will
possess the right knowledge about the purpose of life and consequently follow a
correct path – one that is more fruitful and substantive.
