Mind size is the matter.
There is a young monk that always not too good mood
Every day, he always has a dissatisfaction about everything around.
When he meditate If he hears people chattering. The noise or little sound perhaps from the person talking make him upset.
One day, during sweep the leaves, he anger and complain that another friend doesn't help him work but go to sleep instead.
One day, he upset again because of a pen writing, not fluency. He anger threw a disposable pen
All of these events are be in the eyes of all his teacher.
One day, teacher tell the young monk to remove the salt from the kitchen, mix it into the glass of water and to pour water into a cup.
While the young drink a little water in the cup, he said that too much salt
The teacher took a walk to the river front of the temple then a young priest sprinkled the salt into the river. Then a tasting water, Young feel no taste, plain.
The teacher gave the boy a while. But the boy had no idea ...
He said that "The suffering in our lives like salt. The test of water depends on the water in containers. If a glass of water will be salted but if It is a river the taste will be clear.
The young monk think. The suffering that comes into our lives like salt and our mind like a water in the container.
Suffering will be salted or unsalted based on our mind that our mind size as a glass of water or a river. “The size of mind is the key”
The symptom of our mind indicates your size of the heart. When anything happens, we have frustrated or are suffering so much means the little size that we have the narrow mind like a glass of water.
In other words, if we feel not hurt or not the thing or feel free we have a large size of the heart.
That depends on our mind. Not depending on what the impact is.
Many factors such as colleagues, the weather, or the economy.
If our hearts are large enough, you will not salt.
The happiness or suffering depending on the quality of our consciousness, the more mindfulness the larger of mind. Not based on what the impact.
A Little heart cannot intolerance anything. Because that mind always thinks of yourself, always distressed when anything happens.
The mind size direct effect on mood and emotion.
