Awakening and letting go.

🪷 What is the difference between awakening and letting go?

In Buddhism, we often hear these two words.

"Awake, know" and "let go."

Many people think it's the same thing, but they actually have different meanings and roles.

But... when practicing both, the mind is truly light and independent.

💡 1. What is awakening?

Awakening means always knowing

• What are you doing now?

• What are you thinking?

• What are you feeling?

Awakening is therefore "seeing the present truth."

Without accidentally getting lost in thoughts or emotions.

Sample

• When angry, you know, "This is anger."

• Being distracted. Know "This is distracted."

• Walking. Know "walking."

Awakening is knowing what is happening today.

💡 2. What is emissions?

Letting go means letting go of attachment, anxiety, craving, or hate.

Is not to keep that thing too heavy

Sample

• Angry at your friend but decided to forgive because you know that keeping your anger makes your heart heavy

• Used to be disappointed, but chose sadness to move on.

• The situation is unpleasant. Put down expectations.

Letting go is "giving up" what makes the heart sad.

🌱 short difference.

• Awake = "know" what's happening now.

• Letting go = "not carrying" that thing in your heart.

🧘‍♂️ Relationship of the two.

Awakening helps us see that...

Now we're angry, suffering, or clinging.

Obviously, there's a chance to let go of that.

Without waking up, we might not even know what we're taking.

And if you don't practice letting go, even if you know it, you'll suffer because you keep it.

🌼 How to train both

1. Practice mindfulness in daily life

Like walking, knowing, walking, eating, knowing, breathing, breathing.

2. Observe yourself

When emotions or thoughts arise, know that "this is what happens."

3. Ask yourself, "Do you have to carry?"

If you don't have to, drop it.

4. Pray for mercy

It makes it easier to be gentle and let go.

🪷 Dharma summary today

Awakening is opening your eyes to the truth.

Letting go is putting things that do not need to be carried.

When you wake up, your heart won't be lost.

When let go, the heart is not heavy.

Together, life is transparent, light and free.

Press share is fair.
