Buddhist Proverbs
Nothing in this world truly belongs to us
The matter that the mind may reject, that there is nothing in this world that belongs to us, may not always be denied, because the rejection of the mind is not compulsory. If it is a natural truth, however, whenever the mind perceives the reality of all sufferings in samsara, it may realize that it is not true and that nothing belongs to us. What can the mind hold onto, as it has perceived the suffering and danger in holding onto everything? Without any doubt or hesitation, in the Dharma, The mind immediately rejects it and laments the attachment. In truth, In this world nothing truly belongs to us. This is an intelligent mind that can see clearly in the open-mindedness. There is nothing in the three realms that can conceal the vortex of this spiritual wisdom. Even if the mind contemplates the Dharma in the past, it sees the Dharma in the past. If the mind contemplates the Dharma in the future, it sees the Dharma in the future. This is because there is now an abundance of Dharma available. Looking at the past and the future is not a problem that would cause doubt because the nature of the truth is present, arising and ceasing, just like existence in the present moment. Therefore, seeing the Dharma in the present is important and is a means of making accurate judgments. This is comprehensive knowledge that everything in samsara should not be held onto. If one sees that the Dharma is true in this way, there is nothing that can force the mind to hold onto it, just as one sees fire as hot, a poisonous snake is poisonous, a tiger as a tiger, a crocodile as a crocodile, knowing that dung is filthy. Who would bother to associate with these things? The path to escape from these things, one will see the way to escape on their own when the mind has wisdom. When the mind has clarity in seeing, these two knowledge and insights come together at once. Intelligence and sharpness arise immediately within the mind. If considered in any category of Dharma, one will clearly see the truth in that category, and be free from doubt in that category of Dharma by oneself, without having to ask anyone else. This is the insight according to reality. Therefore, the mind can reject that in this world, there is nothing that belongs to us, not even a little bit.
