The
Philosophy of
BUDDHISM had taught me to understand the interdependent arising in its deepest meaning and deepest implications.
The
philosophy woke me up from being ignorant of the real nature of existence.
Interdependent Arising means everything is an interrelated and constantly changing process. It only means that nothing can be separated and nothing can be permanent in this world.
The interdependent arising made me realize that I tend to grasp so much, I crave so much for so many things where in fact those things are not permanent....It will just come and go.
It helped me also to realize that I should not
separate myself from others because I and them is interconnected and interrelated. They are also like me and I am also like them.
The philosophy made me realize that space and time is just an absolute container of all beings. I would like to relate this concept of space as an absolute container to the philosophy of BUDDHISM according to Japanese or the ZEN BUDDHISM that, it makes no difference between a person who was not able to go to the temple and to the person who was able to go to the temple.
Zen buddhism opened up my eyes to see the real world that actually everybody shares the same "here" because it has been said that space is just an absolute containers.
However, the main focus of zen buddhism is to encourage the people to live life to the fullest which means that we should live each moment fully.
And so we should enjoy every moment by doing good things for the good of other people. By sharing what we have to others and forgetting oneself.
We should be able to realize that it is in helping other people and extending whatever you can extend to help other people can make life worth living.
A person must be able to know how to stop the thirst of wanting something or the crave for permanent and separate self.
So therefore we should be aware that we can always control the thirst and we must bear in mind that we should not separate ourselves from other and that we should grasp for a thing or something for it will just come and go.
