Simplified: The Four Enlightened Activities
Pacifying, enriching, magnetising and destroying.
Attending to one’s own mind:
Destroying ego’s torment = ending fixations
Magnetising = compassionate space
Enriching = wisdom
Pacifying = inner peace
Attending to others:
Inner peace – pacifies
Wisdom – enriches
Compassionate space – magnetises
Ending fixations – destroys ego’s torment
A perfect, flexible dance of Yin and Yang
.
“But I can’t stop my fixations!”
That’s why we still need shamata meditation practice.
