Шипеть, но не кусаться | Аджан Брам | 11 марта 2011 г.

Why does Buddhism always seem so passive? So passive that Buddhists don't actually do anything for themselves or the world? Sometimes it even seems like they don't advocate for their own interests or can't stand up for themselves. For example, if you practice meditation, does that mean you should simply allow other people to abuse you, take advantage of you, or create difficulties for you? And, of course, the answer is "no." Buddhism is not just a passive religion where nothing is done. When you meditate, yes, it's a time to simply sit, allow everything to be, relax, and learn to let go of any difficulties in life. So, when we meditate, we can truly relax. Finding moments when we can find peace is crucial. Because letting go of any struggle allows us to rest, recharge, and gain insight and wisdom to better cope with life's challenges. This is a brilliant strategy, not for escaping life, but for energizing yourself, gaining strength, and the ability to face life with greater wisdom, greater energy, greater kindness, and success. However, this doesn't mean that Buddhists spend all their time meditating! Therefore, Buddhism has an active side, and this active side includes, among other things, caring for yourself and others and advocating for your own interests.
