This document provides an overview of the Ten Worlds concept in Nichiren Buddhism. The Ten Worlds are subjective states of mind that one moves between, with each state characterized by different emotional tendencies. They include lower worlds like Hell, Hunger, and Animality driven by external factors, and higher noble paths like Learning, Realization, Bodhisattva and Buddhahood driven by inner awakening and compassion for others. While in any given moment one world is dominant, all worlds are mutually possessed and necessary aspects of the human experience. Understanding the Ten Worlds can provide insight into one's current emotional state and motivation to progress to higher, less suffering worlds.
The document discusses the Buddhist concept of the Ten Worlds, which are 10 subjective states of mind that people can experience. They range from lower worlds like Hell, Hunger, and Animality, which are driven by external factors and cause suffering, to higher noble worlds like Learning, Realization, Bodhisattva, and Buddhahood, which involve greater self-awareness and compassion for others. The document provides descriptions of each of the Ten Worlds and explains how people can shift between these different mental states at any moment, depending on their circumstances and state of mind. The concept of the Ten Worlds is meant to serve as a framework to help people understand their own emotional experiences and find a path towards more positive states

Discounting results in unresolved problems. Thus, if we can devise a systematic way of identifying the nature and intensity of discounting, we will have a powerful tool for problem solving. Such a tool is called discount matrix.
Structural pathology - Transactional AnalysisManu Melwin Joy
Berne suggests that ego boundaries can be thought of as semi permeable membranes through which psychic energy can flow from one ego state to another. Some people continually act in unpredictable ways and others are so predictable they seem monotonous. These disorders are caused by ego state boundaries which are too lax or tight, have lesions or overlap. This is known as structural pathology.
This document discusses refusal skills for dealing with substance abuse peer pressure. It provides strategies for saying no to drugs, alcohol, or other dangerous activities being pressured by peers. These include clearly stating your refusal, suggesting alternative activities, making excuses to avoid the situation, and keeping the relationship with peers intact by leaving the door open in your responses. Practicing these refusal skills can help one resist negative peer pressure to engage in substances abuse or other dangerous behaviors.

This document discusses incongruity between a person's internal experiences and external behaviors. It notes that sometimes a person's executive ego state, which determines behavior, does not match their real self ego state that they are experiencing internally. This can occur when a person switches their real self ego state while keeping the original ego state in the executive role. The document provides examples of how subtle behavioral incongruities can reveal this mismatch and help detect what ego state a person is experiencing internally.

Self awareness involves questioning who you are, why you exist, and what you are doing. It is important to understand yourself through self-reflection and communication both internally and externally. How you communicate sets causes in motion and impacts your quality of life. To develop confidence and success, you must define your feelings and values, and understand that you give meaning to things through your own beliefs, mental perspective, and physical state. True change comes from adjusting your own mindset rather than expecting outside forces to change.
This document provides an introduction to the concept of deep democracy. It discusses when deep democracy is useful, which is in situations where a group needs to make a lasting decision but cannot reach consensus. It then defines deep democracy as a decision-making methodology designed to incorporate minority views into outcomes. The document outlines the principles of deep democracy and explains how it works with both conscious and unconscious views in groups. It provides an overview of the deep democracy decision-making steps and signs that the process is breaking down. Finally, it discusses some key concepts for applying deep democracy, such as roles, capacities, and exercises for practice.
The document discusses four purposes of life: 1) To live a happy life by pursuing wealth ethically and using it to help others, avoiding debt and faults. 2) To learn through study, reflection, and meditation to develop virtues and wisdom. 3) To love through understanding others and helping from the heart. 4) To leave a legacy by serving humanity and alleviating suffering. It argues the true purpose is not just personal happiness but bringing happiness to all beings through compassionate service.

CBA - The Cost-Benefit Analysis | SMART RecoverySMARTRecovery
This document provides instructions for conducting a SMART Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) to help with addiction recovery. A CBA involves listing the advantages and disadvantages of using and not using the substance of addiction. It can help build motivation, identify goals and coping skills needed. The CBA worksheet should be completed honestly and revised over time as insights change. Referring back to the CBA can help when facing urges and provide motivation during recovery.
Self-compassion involves being kind and understanding towards oneself, recognizing one's shared humanity, and maintaining a mindful awareness of one's emotions. It has three main components - self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Practicing self-compassion can help improve mental health by reducing self-criticism and feelings of isolation. Research shows self-compassion is influenced by early family environment and oxytocin levels, and that it allows people to view failures as learning opportunities rather than personal flaws. Mindfulness techniques like acknowledging discomfort without judgment can help cultivate self-compassion during stressful times.

The document defines and discusses the concept of "okayness" according to various transactional analysis theorists and scholars. It provides definitions of okayness from Stewart and Jones (1987), Steiner (1974), Novey (1993), and Harris and Harris (1985). It also discusses the concept of "planetary okayness" and how environmental issues relate to life positions. The document aims to explore different perspectives on what constitutes a person or situation being "okay."
This document discusses the concept of recognition hunger in Transactional Analysis. It explains that as infants we crave physical touch but as adults we seek other forms of recognition like smiles, compliments, or acknowledgement from others. The term "recognition hunger" was coined by Eric Berne to describe our fundamental need for acknowledgement from other people. The document was prepared by Manu Melwin Joy, an assistant professor in India, and provides references to other Transactional Analysis topics available online.
Self-compassion involves being kind and understanding towards oneself, recognizing one's shared human experiences and imperfections, and mindfulness. It consists of three main elements - self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Research has shown that self-compassion is linked to greater psychological well-being and resilience, as well as increased empathy, altruism, life satisfaction, and emotional intelligence. An 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion program teaches techniques such as mindfulness meditation, compassionate body scanning, and transforming relationships to cultivate self-compassion.

Eric Berne developed a theoretical explanation of what happens when we shift executive power and our sense of real self between one ego state and another. Berne followed Freud in hypothesizing the concept of psychic energy or cathexis.
The document summarizes Stephen Covey's book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". It outlines the book's key principles organized into four sections: paradigms and principles, private victory, public victory, and renewal. The first three habits focus on independence, the next three on interdependence, and the final habit is self-improvement. The principles are meant to help readers achieve effectiveness and align themselves with universal, timeless values.
Berne suggested that the young child, early in the process of script formation already has certain convictions about himself and the people around him. These convictions are likely to stay with him the rest of his life.
The document discusses how the brain works, providing details about its structure and functions. It notes that the brain weighs around 3 pounds, is made up of 78% water, and is divided into left and right hemispheres that perform different roles. It controls vital body functions like temperature, breathing, movement, thinking and emotions. Specific areas of the brain are responsible for vision, hearing, language and planning/organizing. The frontal lobes help control emotions. In total, the brain is a highly complex organ that regulates all conscious and unconscious aspects of life through the central nervous system.
The document discusses the differences between communicating as a "jackal" or a "giraffe". A jackal approaches things with judgment and demands, speaking in blaming terms. A giraffe communicates from the heart in a non-judgmental way by understanding feelings and needs, practicing empathy, and using language focused on emotions and needs. The document provides examples of rephrasing common complaints about a boss in a more empathetic, giraffe-like manner and discusses how to have a constructive conversation by understanding each other's feelings and needs. It promotes self-empathy over self-criticism and empathy for others over judgment.
For those who are interested in self-realization and subsequently God-realization.
We have four-petal control console at forehead - manas, chitta, buddhi, and ahankar. Manas is connected to 5-input senses - ears (sound), eyes (sight), nose (smell), tongue (taste), and skin (touch).
Chitta is the conscious faculty of mind and it provides input from our past experience in previous lives also known as sanskars. Manas and Chitta operate in tandem.
Seat of buddhi is independent and it is intellect as acquired knowledge acquired from outside through 5-input senses and it is intuition as input from soul as real knowledge.
Ahankar is ego which is my 'I' and it authorizes all actions through 5-output senses - speech, hands (manual skill), feet (locomotion), sacral (genital organs), and coccyx (rectal organ).
For success in meditation we have to check externalization of mind and also output activity.

Karolyne Williams explored some findings from Positive Psychology, and considered whether our typical strategies to achieve happiness are likely to work in this Psychology Festival of Learning talk.
Disease - Communication System of God (Part 1)Pardeep Sehgal
What is Disease – Spiritual Perspective:-
We are soul, a part of God who has been described by Guru Nanak as One; Self-Existent and Self-Sufficient; Truth and the Creator of All; Fearless, Protective, Does Not Strike Fear; Kind; Timeless and Not Begotten; Infinite, Omni- Present and Omni-Potent.
A part cannot have properties different from its Source. Our malady is that we do not exhibit any of the properties of our Source and we make no effort to ponder over this grievous situation.
This document provides an overview of concepts related to human motivation and inner purification. It discusses:
1) Different theories of human motivation from psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanism. It also discusses an objective morality worldview of human motivation.
2) Emotions like anger, fear, depression, and miserliness that can agitate the human soul and body.
3) Methods for purifying the inner self by controlling and treating negative emotions, including using patience, forgiveness, focusing on solutions over problems, and maintaining good physical and mental health.
4) The importance of having a pure heart focused on spiritual fulfillment and eternal happiness in the afterlife, rather than temporary pleasures of this world
4/2/2024 - Fourth Noble Truth • Mindfulness Meditation and Dharma Talk with V...Denny K
This document outlines the Fourth Noble Truth, which is the Noble Eightfold Path. It begins by reviewing the Third Noble Truth of cessation of suffering. It then provides an in-depth explanation of each factor of the Eightfold Path: right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. It discusses how each factor is developed through a gradual training of morality, concentration, and wisdom. It also covers key Buddhist concepts like the four noble truths, karma, renunciation, generosity, loving-kindness, compassion, and meditation practices to cultivate these qualities.
This presentation outlines my personal understanding of what happiness is, based on 4 years of learning about it, and finding my own path in the world.
Emmy's thoughts about the well being and happiness, and the contribution of psychotherapy to it. A presentation given to the Worcester Therapeutic Training Network in February 2010
This document discusses the experiences that many go through after an awakening experience. While the inner state may be one of joy and happiness, the external life often gets worse with struggles in money, health and relationships. It suggests that awakening is just the beginning and that applying one's awakened state to the external world through a science of manifestation is needed to truly thrive outwardly. It identifies some common coping mechanisms used like spiritual escapism, determination and indoctrination that can prevent outward success and fulfillment.
The document discusses how happiness is a choice and within our control through our state of mind and willingness to change. It summarizes research that found the top factors for happiness are strong relationships, having purpose and meaning, helping others, and a sense of control. While genetics and circumstances influence happiness, up to 40% is determined by intentional activities. The brain can rewire itself, so we can overcome ruts and change habits to enhance positive moods and lasting happiness.
The document discusses three main spiritual philosophies - Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity - and their views on transcendence. Hinduism believes the soul is eternal and can escape the cycle of rebirth through spiritual progress. Buddhism's teachings of the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path aim to end suffering by eliminating desires. Christianity sees knowledge of God beginning with faith and leading to understanding. The document also addresses topics like forgiveness, vulnerability, failure, and love as limitations and possibilities for transcendence.
The document discusses practicing positive thinking through establishing a morning routine focused on self-development. It recommends dedicating the first hour of each morning to activities like meditation, visualization, exercise, reading, and journaling. These "SAVERS" can help cultivate positive habits and direct one's thinking. The document also discusses focusing mental energy on issues one can influence rather than worry, and cultivating an "attitude of gratitude" to improve well-being. It provides an example of a positivity routine incorporating these concepts.
This document discusses how negative thoughts impact us and provides steps to overcome negative thinking and lead a stress-free life. It explains that negative thoughts stem from ingrained beliefs and can cause feelings of depression, physical effects, and prevent opportunities. Some ways to overcome negative thinking include identifying negative thoughts, surrounding yourself with positive people, thinking independently, meditating, being kind to others, exercising, and focusing on positive news. Daily practices like meditation, spending time in nature, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help fight negativity.
this presentation lays out the many reasons and techniques for promoting and practicing forgiveness in our lives.
While applicable for everyone, this like all of our presentations is specifically designed for caregivers in a long-term care environment.
This document discusses the relationship between spirituality, emotions, and food according to Spiritism. It begins by defining emotions and exploring how spirits can influence human emotions. It describes different types of emotions like fear, stress, and bad moods, and suggests ways of dealing with them, such as transforming harmful emotions into useful ones. The document also discusses how emotions are connected to physical feelings and how certain foods like lentils, green tea, salmon can help stimulate the body's response to emotional changes by providing nutrients. The overall message is that spiritual and emotional development requires understanding the mind-body connection and how our behaviors shape our experiences.
This document discusses the concept of spirituality. It begins by critiquing the modern view of spirituality as an outdated concept like phlogiston or unicorns. It argues that our understanding is limited by being trained as logical positivists to only accept empirical science as a source of valid knowledge. A paradigm shift is needed to understand spirituality and recognize the central importance of intuitive and unverifiable knowledge, which forms the basis of human experiences like love, ethics, and spirituality. Spirituality is defined as a capacity of the heart to feel for others and sense our collective humanity, which can grow to include a sense of unity with God. The document differentiates this view of spirituality from outdated scientific perspectives.
According to research and experts, true happiness comes from living a meaningful life rather than simply pursuing pleasure or wealth. While positive emotions feel good in the moment, meaning comes from using one's strengths and talents to serve something larger than oneself. Victor Frankl's experiences in Nazi concentration camps showed that those who found meaning in terrible circumstances were more resilient. Keys to a happier life include practicing gratitude, connecting with others, focusing on strengths, and living in the present moment. Lasting happiness requires seeking fulfillment through contribution rather than temporary pleasures alone.

This document provides an overview of the 10 methods for attaining longevity and immortality according to Li Qingyun, a purported 250-year-old man. The 10 methods are: sitting meditation, settling the mind, refining one's nature, transcending the realms, sincerity and reverence, cutting off affinities, controlling the mind, simplifying daily activities, maintaining proper views, and fixed peacefulness. Each method is briefly described. The document suggests that mastering these 10 principles is essential for understanding the means of prolonging life, reversing aging, and restoring youth.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

4. Buying Happiness - Experiment 1
• Imagine this situation: I give you $50 to spend it any
way you like. The only stipulation is that you have to
spend the entire amount on yourself.
• Think what you would do with the money (3 min).
• After you have decided what to do with the money,
answer these two questions:
1. How happy would you feel as a result of spending the money
according to your decision? Use a 10-point rating system in
which 1 is not happy and 10 is intensely happy. Circle the
number on the scale which would correspond to your feelings.
2. How long will your happiness last? A few minutes, few hours,
few days, … ? Put a cross under the right answer.

• Same scenario, but with a minor twist: I give you $50
with the stipulation that you have to spend the entire
amount on someone else.
• Think how you would spend the money (3 min).
• After you have decided, answer the same questions:
1. How happy would you feel as a result of spending the money
according to your decision? Use a 10-point rating system in
which 1 is not happy and 10 is intensely happy. Circle the
number on the scale which would correspond to your feelings.
2. How long will your happiness last? A few minutes, few hours,
few days, … ? Put a cross under the right answer.

Introduction
• The ability of our minds is very swift in responding to external stimulus: every
hour, every minute is different.
• Buddhism is about ordinary daily lives of ordinary human beings it has to cope
with this feature of our lives. An the concept of The Ten Worlds is a result.
• The Ten Worlds are not objective places, they are subjective states inside our
head, states of mind.
• It could seem implausible to reduce a vast range of our constantly shifting
responses to just 10 states:
– Structure that undoubtedly stood the test of time
– Passed a test of practicality, not for bookshelves - it is for our daily lives
• A road map - helps us to interpret where we are in our subjective or emotional
life
• As far as Buddhism teaches that happiness and suffering come not from
external factors of our lives but from deep within, then knowing more clearly
where we as opposed to where we would like to be is a crucial piece of
information.
• The life state where we in from moment to moment effects everything in our life:
how we feel, think, act, how we look, not to mention how environment responds.
Think of anger…

The Ten Worlds
• Not emotional ladder where we move up and down in a progressive
way.
• 10 worlds - entire universe of our mind, we move from one its part to
another. Each of us possesses the potential for all ten, and we shift
from one to another at any moment. At each moment, one of the Ten
Worlds is being manifested and the other nine are dormant.
• A caution: our mind is soft swift and the words are so cumbersome, that
any attempt to describe this kaleidoscopic changes in our emotional life
in words appears somewhat unreal. It feels like walking in wet concrete,
everything is slowed down and slightly caricatured
• Bearing this caution in mind let’s look briefly at this 10 life states
Higher (Noble) worlds
7. Learning or Absorption
8. Realisation
9. Bodhisattva
10. Buddha or Buddhahood
Lower Worlds (or 6 Paths)
1. Hell
2. Hunger
3. Animality
4. Anger
5. Humanity or Tranquillity
6. Rapture or Heaven
8. 8
1. Hell
• State of suffering and despair
• Filled with frustration, rage,
helplessness and destructive impulses
• We perceive we have no freedom of action
• A feeling of being imprisoned by one's circumstances
• There are graduations of this state: from unbearable
day at work to the grief for a lost relative
+ Having experienced hell helps us maintain a desire to
better our circumstances. Empathy, understanding
the sufferings of others.
9. 9
2. Hunger
• Permanent dissatisfaction of how your life is now, because your desires
are out of control
• “Out of control” part is a problem
• Always craving for something: money, power, status or whatever. But
the feeling doesn't go away.
• While desires are inherent in any of the Ten Worlds, in this state we are
at the mercy of our cravings and cannot control them. We end up
chasing one desire after another without feeling fulfilment or
satisfaction. As soon as the desire has been achieved, a hunger seeks
for another object to be possessed.
• It is an addiction and as most addictions it is associated with suffering
not only for oneself but also for those around us.
+ Huge amount of drive and energy is locked up in a Hunger state. If
redirected to the needs of others, can achieve great good. For example,
people fighting tirelessly for nuclear disarmament are hungry for peace.
10. 10
3. Animality
• Driven by instinct, lacking in reason and moral considerations
• Those who are strong (or who knows) take advantage of those
who are week (or unaware) in order to satisfy own ends
regardless of the rights or the morality of the situation
• Described as the Law of the jungles. Nowadays also mindless
hooliganism and anti-social behaviour. No consideration on the
anxiety or sufferings inflicted on those around them.
• Absence of humanity is fundamental to this life state
• Absence of wisdom and lack of judgement, no adherence to
rules and regulations
+ Protective instincts, for example,
that we need more sleep.
Preservation of self or others.
11. 11
Three evil paths
• Hell, Hunger and Animality - three evil paths
• Not because they are associated with evil in the conventional
sense but because they are a root cause of huge amount of
suffering. They can tear life lives apart or render them
unbearable
• People in this life states tend to rotate trough them driven by
the hunger for one thing or another, not aware on the effect on
the people, creating pain and suffering in their own lives and
lives of those close to them.
• One of the great virtue from the knowledge of the Ten Worlds is
that like a call. It can make you aware of the reality of the
situation and act as a powerful stimulus to lift you out of it.
• Few people would want to continue to dwell in these life states
once they realise where they are
12. 12
4. Anger
• As a Buddhist text describes it: "Since those in the world of Anger desire in every instance to be superior to
everyone else and cannot bear to be inferior to anyone. At the same time, outwardly they seek to display
the virtues of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and fidelity."
• Not simply the domination of the external manifestations
of anger: shouting, threats storms of temper, but constant demands of one’s ego
• At its heart there is a sense of the superiority over others with all the distortions of prospective
• There will the sudden outburst of the anger, that may seem come from nowhere often surprising the owner
of the anger as much as the victim
• But there will be also other destructive behaviours like intolerance, cynicism, sarcasm, lack of gratitude,
constant criticism of other people’s work
• People in this state often find as difficult to live with themselves as other people find it to be with them,
because they seem of not having real control of the source of the anger
• Destructive to personal relationships
• On a wide scale of society anger as a sense of superiority of self lies as the root of the whole range of
injustices, from racism, religious intolerance to the depression of women and minority groups.
+ Anger is a great achiever. Can be powerful driver towards change, fighter for injustice, dignity of the individual
or the passion to fight authoritarian behaviour.
The key to overcome the destructive side of the anger has to come from self- awareness. It can’t be just
switched off or redirected from outside.
13. 13
5. Humanity (Tranquillity)
• Life state when we are calm and in control of ourselves
• Neutral state where nothing is excited or upset or requires a passionate
response
• It’s also called a state of rest, recharging our batteries
• Positive qualities like reasonableness and self-judgement ,
consideration for others, ability to see clearly between truth and false
• Actively seeking to achieve compromise, rather than conflict. For
example, it might be a moment of apology after fly of temper or perhaps
working hard not to loose your temper when somebody is being totally
unreasonable
- Negative aspect is certain amount of apathy revealed in a long-term
acceptance of one’s status quo or unwillingness to make an effort.
14. 14
6. Heaven (Rapture)
• Heaven represents what is described in Buddhism as relative happiness
• It’s a wonderful act of joy and exhilaration, which we experience when we
achieve something that we desire strongly
• It bring with it a sense of personal fulfilment, the zest for life and outburst of
energy e.g. setting on a holiday of falling in love.
• But however wonderful exhilaration might be, however it enriches our lives the
reality is that by its own nature the rapture is short-lived. A sudden pick of joy in
a normal curve of our lives.
• Although some people equate this transient state with the highest possible state
of life, trying to make it permanent in their lives, Buddhism teaches that the idea
of permanent rapture is simply unreal.
• The desire to make this life state permanent leads
to suffering.
15. 15
Six Lower Worlds
• The six states from Hell to Heaven are called the six paths or six
lower worlds.
• They have in common the fact that their emergence or
disappearance is governed by external circumstances.
• They very closely interlinked and we can easily step from one to
another
• As we fluctuate between this states we are at the mercy of our
environment: like a boat on waves
• Any happiness or satisfaction to be gained in these states
depends totally upon circumstances and is therefore transient
and subject to change
• In these six lower worlds, we base our entire happiness on
externals
16. 16
Four Noble Paths
• They could be described as representing a great
potential in human life, not simply responding to
movements in our external environment.
• Taking control of our lives to make the very most of
them
• Marked by the considerable effort required from us to
achieve them
17. 17
Learning & Realisation
• Learning and Realization are closely related.
• Both are concerned with a strong desire for self-improvement
although via different routes
• We move to this states when we recognize that everything
experienced in the six paths is impermanent and we begin to
seek some lasting truth.
• Achieved through deliberate effort, unlike the six paths, which
are passive reactions to the environment
• In those states the search for truth is primarily self-oriented, so
there is a great potential for egotism in these two states
18. 18
7. Learning
• Learning is mainly about studying, seeking the truth through the
teachings or experience of others
• We take knowledge and insight of others and apply them to our
own life
• It is also an attitude of wanting to learn, desire to discuss, ability
to absorb knowledge:
– A practical skill
– A mastery of our work
– The development of an interest
• It can be dual. It can lead:
– To immensely beneficial findings if based on the desire to improve human
conditions
– To exploitation of others, destruction of the environment and life itself if
based on the desire of a profit
19. 19
8. Realisation
• The process of inner reflection or
consideration that enables us to
work on the knowledge that we
have acquired or the experiences
we have been through to achieve a
different level of understanding of
life. In this sense it may be equated
with wisdom or intuition
• Having a wisdom or insight, an
understanding of an aspect of life
from our own observations and
experiences.
• Self-awakening to some truth or
principle, a bit like Archimedes
shouting 'Eureka' in his bath!
20. Learning & Realisation Negative
Sides
• Knowledge can bring a sense of superiority over those who
don’t have it: doctors for patients, professors for students,
scientist for the general public
• If our lives are strongly influenced by these two worlds:
– We may find that we become arrogant and stubborn
– We may become self-satisfied and think we know it all, and have no
further need to improve ourselves.
– We may feel we have escaped the six lower worlds and are better
than the people in those worlds. At this point we begin to become
gripped again by the lower worlds.
• Can lead to self-centredness and separation from others
• In the Lotus Sutra people of Learning and Realization were
taught they could only enter the realm of Buddhahood only
through faith, not through the intellect.

21. 21
9. Bodhisattva
• It’s a technical term from Buddhist texts: Bodhi (enlightenment) and sattva
(beings) - aspired to achieve enlightenment
• The meaning behind this term is caring for others.
• Giving yourself to support and improve the lives of others
• This is a primary quality that modern psychological research suggests that is
fundamental to the happiness in this life
• Not simply to help other people but to alleviate the cause of their pain or
suffering and to replace it with a greater sense of wellbeing
• The immediate path out of the life states such as hell, hunger and anger is to
find some way to contribute to the lives of others
• Determined to enable all other beings to do the same
• Bodhisattvas receive little public reward or recognition for their work and may
pass most of their lives in relatively poor circumstances. Recognition and reward
is clearly not their motivation. They are driven by a powerful compassion. This is
the source of the greatest joy and fulfilment.
• Buddhism teaches that Bodhisattva state should not be a self sacrificial.
• This brings us to a life state of Buddhahood
22. 22
10. Buddhahood or Buddha
• The highest state of life of which the human being is capable.
• Overlaid by huge amount of misconception and misunderstanding. It
can be difficult for us to believe that this life state can be attained by
ordinary people going about their ordinary daily lives.
• It is Nichiren who by studying Buddhist scripts brought Buddhahood
down to Earth. Buddha was a human and his awakening was not a
superhuman state.
• Buddhahood is not elevation, a higher plane of our lives to which one
can step.
• It is a deeper and richer understanding of a mainstream of our life
as it already is - everything that we already involved, even a suffering
and struggling as well as happiness.
• Find fulfilment in our daily activities and come to understand the
purpose of being alive
• A condition in which we enjoy: the highest life force, wisdom,
compassion, courage, together with a good fortune
24. All the Ten Worlds are Necessary
• Establishing Buddhahood as our basic life-tendency does not
mean we rid ourselves of the other nine worlds.
• All 10 Worlds are integral and necessary aspects of life. Without
experiencing the sufferings of Hell ourselves, we could never
feel true compassion for others. Without the instinctive desires
represented by Hunger and Animality, we would forget to eat,
sleep and reproduce ourselves, and soon become extinct.
• Even if we establish Buddhahood as our fundamental life-tendency,
we will still continue to experience the joys and
sorrows of the nine worlds.
• However, they will not control us, and we will not define
ourselves in terms of them. Based on the life-tendency of
Buddhahood, our nine worlds will be harmonized and function to
benefit both ourselves and those around us.
24
25. Taking Responsibility for Our
Lives
• The overwhelming message is therefore is one of the immense
optimism: we can bring out the strength, the hope and the life force of
our Buddha nature challenge our situation and begin to turn it around.
• It is taking responsibility for our life. We always have the choice of how
25
to respond.
• That’s why many people describe the effect of practice enabling. The
take more control of their lives instead of drifting in response to
circumstances.
• Like a weight lifter: we cannot develop the stronger muscles except by
lifting heavier weights. We cannot grow our strengths except by
overcoming obstacles.
• True happiness is not the absence of suffering. Happiness does not
mean to have a life free of difficulties but whatever difficulty arise we
can bring out the unshakable courage and conviction to fight and
overcome it.
26. 26
How Chanting Helps
• We have our dominant state of life
• Our life is made of decisions and actions based on
these decisions
• Out state of life influences what decisions we make
• Chanting changes state of life
• Hence, our decisions change and as a consequence,
our actions
• We make new causes, which produce new effects
• We change our life, we change karma
In giapponese il mondo di apprendimento e’ indicato dalla parola SHOMON che letteralmente significa ascoltatori della voce, poiche gli Shomon era originariamente coloro che udivano la voce del Budda Shakyamuni quando predicava. In senso piu generale e piu adattabile ai giorni nostri, il mondo di apprendimento si applica a quell’aspetto della nostra coscienza che e’ in grado di imparare dall’esperienza degli altri e applicare cio’ che si apprende alla nostra stessa vita. Il mondo di apprendimento potrebbe quindi corrispondere all’intelligenza e allo studio delle conoscenze che sono a nostra disposizione.

3.Il mondo dell’Apprendimento e’ un mondo fondamentalmente egocentrico. Anche se lo scopo e’ il miglioramento, si tratta di un miglioramento che in gran parte serve solo a stessi. In quanto tale, l’Apprendimento ha una forte tendenza a cadere nel mondo di collera, a separare se stessi dalle altre persone e a guardarle dall’alto in basso. (questa tendenza e’ marcata in molti studenti e professori delle migliori universita’ e nelle professioni che richiedono un altao livello di allenamento intellettuale). Questo egocentrismo puo’ anche manifestarsi come uno stato di tale assorbimento della materia di proprio interesse che ogni altra cosa viene cancellata dalla propria visione. Puo’ risultare addirittura fatale quando appare in un gruppo di specialisti talmente occupati dai problemi tecnici della loro ricerca da non prendere pienamente in considerazione le implicazioni piu’ generali di cio’ che stanno facendo. Gli uomini che svilupparono la prima bomba atomica ricadono in questa categoria.
4.Il secondo limite e’ che le persone che hanno ottenuto un grande successo nel loro campo trovano spesso estremamente difficile accettare che le conclusioni cui sono arrivati non siano interamente corrette. La tendenza delle persone di Apprendimento a una tale fiducia presuntuosa nelle proprie capacita’ e giudizi non sarebbe poi tanto importante, non fosse per il fatto che le persone in cui questi mondi sono dominanti tendono a esercitare una notevole influenza se non addirittura potere sulla vita delle altre persone.
Il mondo di apprendimento pur appertendo ai Quattro nobili sentieri ha una natura doppia. Nella loro espressione migliore, quando sono basati sul desiderio di migliorare la condizione umana, possono portare a scoperte immensamente benefiche; nell’espressione peggiore, quando sono fondati sul desiderio di estorcene piu profitti, possono portare allo sfruttamento degli altri, al degrado dell’ambiente naturale e, in definitiva, alla distruzione dellla vita stessa.
Do the The Ten Worlds match up against realities of our lives? It is easy to recognise them in our daily lives. There is no barrier between them, we move from one to another with great rapidity
Nichiren Buddhism describes this fluency of movement by saying that each life state contains all the others. We can be at this moment in the life state of Humanity, with the feeling of peace, but all the other states are within us. We can move in a flash to anger or to Bodhisattva or in succession.
What follows is important, it is the central promise given us by Nichiren, it is possible for us to experience Buddhahood in this lifetime, whatever the situation we are happens to be.
We have within us a potential to move from despair of Hell to the compassion of Bodhisattva or to the profound hope or optimism of Buddhahood.
Buddhahood is not a superhuman life state but a supremely human one. It contains within all the human life states.
