Gratidão via FB

This quote, often reflects modern interpretations of Buddhist principles regarding gratitude, impermanence, and letting go. While it may not be a direct transcription from the Pali Canon (the earliest recorded teachings of the Buddha), it aligns with Buddhist themes of non-attachment, embracing change, and fostering positivity.

Key Themes in the Quote & Their Buddhist Context:
"Thank you, to all the people who walked into my life and made it better"

Gratitude: Buddhism emphasizes gratitude (katanya) as a "blessing" and the foundation of good qualities. It involves recognizing and appreciating the help, kindness, and joy others bring into our lives.

"And thanks to those who left my life and made it amazing."
Impermanence and Letting Go: A core Buddhist teaching is that everything is impermanent (anicca). Therefore, people and relationships change, enter, and leave our lives.

Non-Attachment: Holding onto people or relationships that have run their course causes suffering (dukkha). Letting go is not giving up, but rather releasing attachment, which allows for greater peace.

Finding Growth in Loss: The quote suggests that when people leave, it creates space for personal growth and a better, "amazing" life. This is consistent with the Buddhist teaching that change is not painful, but the resistance to it causes suffering.

The Overall Message: The quote encourages shifting from a mindset of loss (when people leave) to a mindset of gratitude for the experience, recognizing that the end of one connection can be the beginning of a better phase, thus promoting resilience and inner peace.

RIGHT VIEW Understanding the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering What is the cessation of suffering? It is the remainderless fading away and ceasing, the giving up, relinquishing, letting go, and rejecting of craving. (MN 9) When one knows and perceives odors as they actually are, then one is not attached to odors. When one abides unattached, one is not infatuated, and one’s craving is abandoned. One’s bodily and mental troubles are abandoned, and one experiences bodily and mental well-being. (MN 149)

Reflection Suffering arises and falls away moment by moment, just like everything else. Suffering is not an abstract characteristic of the world but is manifest in thousands of little ways every day. Any time you feel afflicted by suffering, you can inquire into what it is that you want to be other than it is and then relinquish your hold on that episode of wanting. Desires and discontents come up but need not rule us. Just let go of them, one by one. Daily Practice As we move through each of the senses in order, today we work with odors and the sense of smell. Next time you smell something offensive, and you catch yourself automatically recoiling from it, try instead to bring an attitude of equanimity to the experience. Notice that you can disengage from aversion to the smell if you choose to do so and then continue to smell the odor without attachment or aversion.
