It is definitely possible. Liberation is possible.Originally posted by alexkusu:She can never let it go, its something she has to live with. Its unavoidable
you can get her to go for children care or children's home to shower care to those orphansOriginally posted by waterfalz:My best fren just lost her baby ( miscarriage) ... She has been at home ever since.. ( half year liao ) still very sad.
Recently her emotions seems getting better ever since she went for a Buddhism class.. But her sadness came back when one day she passed by baby products section in a shopping centre.
What should I say to her in the Buddhism way to make her let go?
Doesn't it contradict with your statement 'She can never let it go, its something she has to live with. Its unavoidable' then?Originally posted by alexkusu:Liberation is possible. But it takes great effort and time
My statement was directed at her. She can never let it go.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Doesn't it contradict with your statement 'She can never let it go, its something she has to live with. Its unavoidable' then?
Anyway what you just said (great effort and time) is true for most people. However it is also possible for instantaneous liberation that requires no effort and time. If you have received the 'instantaneous' teaching that is....
Which means that due to her miscarriage, she'll never have a chance to attain enlightenment in this lifeOriginally posted by alexkusu:My statement was directed at her. She can never let it go.
My 2nd statement was just to agree with you that liberation is possible but only for certain people.
cheers

The Six Sense Sources Originate & Prolong all Pain!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, if one does not really understand both the cause, ceasing,
the satisfaction, the danger, and the escape from the Six Sources of
Contact, then one has not lived the Noble life, & one is quite far away
from comprehending this Dhamma & from practicing this Discipline...
Then a certain bhikkhu said to the Blessed One: Venerable Sir, I am
lost, for I do neither really understand the cause, nor the ceasing,
nor the satisfaction, nor the danger, nor the escape from any of the
Six Sources of Contact ... !!!
What do you think, bhikkhu, do you regard the Eye as:
This is mine, this I am, this is my self? No, Venerable Sir...
What do you think, bhikkhu, do you regard the Ear as:
This is mine, this I am, this is my self? No, Venerable Sir...
What do you think, bhikkhu, do you regard the Nose as:
This is mine, this I am, this is my self? No, Venerable Sir...
What do you think, bhikkhu, do you regard the Tongue as:
This is mine, this I am, this is my self? No, Venerable Sir...
What do you think, bhikkhu, do you regard the Body as:
This is mine, this I am, this is my self? No, Venerable Sir...
What do you think, bhikkhu, do you regard the Mind as:
This is mine, this I am, this is my self? No, Venerable Sir...
Very good, bhikkhu! So should you continue to clearly comprehend the
eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and the mind as it really is, with correct
understanding thus: This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self!
In this way will the six sources or contact be left behind, by creating
no future renewed existence! This itself is the End of all Suffering...
Comments:
The cause of the six senses is the arising of name-&-form, body-&-mind...
The six senses cease at the ceasing of name-&-form, body-&-mind...
The satisfaction of the six senses is the pleasure & joy they generate...
The danger of the six senses is their inherent unstable impermanence...
The escape from the six senses is the elimination of craving: Nibbâna!
