Via Dhamma Wheel | Right Living: Abstaining from Intoxication

RIGHT LIVING Undertaking the Commitment to Abstain from Intoxication Intoxication is unhealthy. Refraining from intoxication is healthy. (MN 9) What are the imperfections that defile the mind? Negligence is an imperfection that defiles the mind. Knowing that negligence is an imperfection that defiles the mind, a person abandons it. (MN 7) One practices thus: “Others may become negligent by intoxication, but I will abstain from the negligence of intoxication." (MN 8) One of the dangers attached to addiction to intoxicants is indecent exposure of one's person. (DN 31)

Reflection The arguments put forward in the early Buddhist texts against intoxication were mostly practical ones. In this case there is the recognition that when you lose control of yourself through some form of intoxication, the chances increase that you will do something foolish or embarrassing that you will regret later. Better to undertake the commitment to abstain from the kind of negligence that leads to such behaviors. Daily Practice See if, through introspection, you can discern the point at which intoxication begins to show up in your experience. If you are a drinker, investigate the moment between the first and second swig, or the first and second glass, or whatever point you can notice when the mind begins to get a little sluggish. If you don’t drink, try the same experiment with some other form of intoxication. There are many to choose from.

O Sutra do Coração - Comunidade Budista Triratna (Trans. Pelo google 11.04.24)

 

O Sutra do Coração

Conforme recitado na Comunidade Budista Triratna

(Trans. Pelo google 11.04.24)

O Bodhisattva da Compaixão,

Quando ele meditou profundamente,

Vi o vazio de todos os cinco skandhas

E rompeu os laços que lhe causavam sofrimento.

Aqui então,

A forma não é outra senão o vazio,

O vazio não é outro senão a forma.

A forma é apenas o vazio,

Forma apenas vazia.

Sentimento, pensamento e escolha,

A própria consciência,

São iguais a este.

Todas as coisas são por natureza vazias

Eles não nascem ou são destruídos

Nem são manchados ou puros

Nem eles aumentam ou diminuem

Então, no vazio, sem forma,

Nenhum sentimento, pensamento ou escolha,

Nem há consciência.

Sem olhos, ouvidos, nariz, língua, corpo, mente;

Sem cor, som, cheiro, sabor, toque,

Ou o que a mente se apodera,

Nem mesmo ato de sentir.

Sem ignorância ou fim disso,

Nem tudo o que vem da ignorância;

Sem murchamento, sem morte,

Não há fim para eles.

Nem há dor, ou causa da dor,

Ou cessar na dor, ou caminho nobre

Para livrar-se da dor;

Nem mesmo sabedoria para alcançar!

A realização também é o vazio.

Então saiba que o Bodhisattva

Não me apegando a nada,

Mas permanecendo na sabedoria Prajna,

Está livre de obstáculos ilusórios,

Livre do medo criado por ele,

E alcança o Nirvana mais claro.

Todos os Budas do passado e do presente,

Budas do tempo futuro,

Usando esta sabedoria Prajna,

Venha para uma visão plena e perfeita.

Ouça então o grande dharani,

O mantra radiante e inigualável,

O Prajnaparamita

Cujas palavras aliviam toda dor;

Ouça e acredite em sua verdade!
