In Buddhism, giving is considered a way to accumulate merit, but this passage discusses the concept of "no-self" and the nature of liberating sentient beings. Here's a brief explanation: 1. No-Self Concept:The Buddha (Tathagata) clarifies that he does not hold the notion of liberating sentient beings as a separate self. If he did, it would imply the existence of a self and others, which contradicts the teaching of "no-self" (anatta). 2. Illusory Nature of Self: The Buddha emphasizes that the concept of a self is an illusion. Though people talk about a self, it is not real. Ordinary people (those not yet enlightened) mistakenly believe in the reality of a self. 3. Redefining Ordinary People: The Buddha redefines ordinary people by saying that although they are called ordinary, they are not truly ordinary in the ultimate sense. This redefinition highlights the illusory nature of distinctions and identities. This passage underscores the importance of understanding the concept of "no-self" and the illusory nature of distinctions in the path to enlightenment. By deeply studying the teachings of Buddhism regarding wisdom, you can develop insight and clear thinking, better understanding the nature of war and methods of problem-solving. This helps reduce fear and anxiety. In summary, through Mindfulness by practicing inner awareness, compassion and tolerance, letting go of attachments, and cultivating wisdom, you can maintain a calm and peaceful mindset during wartime.
