无明 : 8 Fold Path : Spirit of Truth, Understanding & Wisdom

 无明(ignorance,梵语Avidyā)这个概念为印度各种宗教共有,指不了解真理的愚昧状态,又称为痴(梵语moha)。无明是人生众苦的根因,也是引起生死轮回的根因。如何摆脱无明、获得解脱是印度宗教最关心的问题之一。为此,各种宗教提出了自己的方法,释迦佛也提出了佛教的修行方法即八正道。


The concept of ignorance (Avidyā in Sanskrit) is common to all religions in India, and refers to the ignorant state of not understanding the truth, also known as delusion (Sanskrit moha). Ignorance is the root cause of human suffering and the root cause of the cycle of birth and death. How to get rid of ignorance and get liberation is one of the most concerned issues of Indian religions. To this end, various religions have proposed their own methods, and Shakyamuni also proposed the Buddhist practice method, the Eightfold Path.



Therefore the Lord's prayer "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one". Temptation is the temptation to vary from the connection with the Holy Spirit. To not listen to the voice of the spirit in our hearts. Our conscience. That still small voice. Here the Lord is saying Abide in me and I in you and you will make your way prosperous. Basically stay connected. Adam's sin was he got disconnected from God. He was the Prince of Heaven. King on Earth. But he got disconnected from Heaven and wanted to run his own show. 

Do not be tempted to be disconnected. To lean onto our own understanding. To stick to our own worldview and perspective. 

The mantra is : Hear the Spirit and then Just Do It !! The mind must support the spirit, if it contradict the spirit it must be put to rest. It must receive the right mindset which is spelled out in the 8 Fold Path.
