The confidence.
The confidence.
In the Diamond
Sutra, The Buddha teached “Anyone who, for only a second, gives rise to a pure
and clear confidence upon hearing these words of the Tathagata, the Tathagata
sees and knows that person, and he or she will attain immeasurable happiness
because of this understanding.
There are two
very important words in this sentence: “see” and “know.” If, for one second, a
person is confident about these teachings, the Buddha will see and know that
person. To be seen and known by the Buddha is a great inspiration and support
for anyone on the path of practice. If we have one close friend who can
understand us and know our aspirations, we feel greatly supported.
Although the road
of our life is long and difficult, the light of the sun and the moon is still
there to guide our steps. The future does not be sure. We want the seeing and knowing
of the Tathagata so that we feel
supported.
On our path of service,
there are moments of pain and loneliness, but when we know that the Buddha sees
and knows us, we feel a great surge of energy and a firm determination to carry
on. When traveling on the high seas, between of death and alive, many
Vietnamese boat people only read Buddha and the Buddha sees and knows
them. Confidence has a great energy to
me.
