Friends:
Instantly Evaporating all Evil Mental States!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus
and friends, if while one is trying to behave good and clever,
occasionally due to a lapse of awareness, a momentary neglect occurs
and
evil detrimental memories and bad intentions arise in one, then slow
might
be the re-arising of one's awareness, but one should ultra-quickly
leave all
these thoughts, dispel these obsessions, and end these impulses,
thereby
eradicating both 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, when hitting the pan. Even so, while one is
neglecting
the presence of acute awareness and the mind strays back into the
mental
habits of evil detrimental mental habits & bad intentions: Slow might
be the
re-arising of one's awareness, yet one should still then instantly
leave these
evil thoughts, dispel these obsessions, end these impulses, thereby
eradicating
any disadvantageous and afflicting phobia and mania. It is in exactly
this
way that a Bhikkhu has comprehended the ideal mode of behaviour and
habit
of living, that prevents any evil detrimental mental state of
avariciousness,
lust, greed, envy, jealousy and discontent in flowing in upon,
enveloping and
completely dominating his mind...
