The 8 worldly dharmas refer to those blockages, worries or attachments that cloud our awareness and ability to be happy. Thus, Buddhism as well as psychology itself reminds us that living attached to certain dimensions, such as pride, material goods or the desire for profit, pushes us to an existence of lack and suffering.
+
I'm sure you have many material and emotional goals you want to achieve. But while you're in the process, are you practicing empathy? Sometimes we live day to day so focused on our needs that we don't even stop to look at others. It's okay to focus all your attention on your goals, as long as you don't forget about those around you.
−
It is often said that Buddhism is a house full of beautiful treasures. However, from our markedly Western point of view, it is common that sometimes we do not know how to distinguish or appreciate the beauty of these riches that are agglutinated in this philosophical and spiritual framework.
+
Empathy is a skill that allows you to put yourself in other people's shoes. You can tell me that it is not really important to you or that you are not interested in seeing life through the eyes of those around you. It's true that you may have different goals and ideas, but that doesn't mean you should forget about them. In addition, being empathetic gives you the ability to better understand yourself and the world around you.
−
The principles of Buddhism and the practice of the Dharma are not easy to carry out, and the reason for this is in our mentality, in the type of culture in which we live daily and that somehow ends up molding us.
+
Listening is the basis of empathy
−
"Dharma is the discipline of living the truth; it is not knowing or reading the truth, it is not commenting on it or discussing it, it is not its logic, it is not its reasoning."
+
Since empathy is based on putting yourself in the other person's place, the first thing you need to do is to know their point of view. One of the biggest problems we have is that when we talk, we tend to create answers in our heads before the time is right. Then, the moment comes when we don't even let the other person finish talking because we have already "guessed" what he/she will say and we give our opinion.
−
-Yogi Bhajan
+
Empathy requires more patience. You must take the time to listen to the other person. But really listen to everything they say and pay close attention. Then, when it is your turn to speak, give yourself time to think about what you are going to say. It is an exercise that takes some time because we are not used to it but when you have mastered it you will have taken a big step.
−
Hence, there are many experts in these currents that recommend us a simple advice. It does not matter if we know nothing about the subject of the chakras, about meditation or the supposed vital energy contained in kundalini yoga. Those practices that many handle almost without knowing have no relevance if we do not first know the 8 worldly dharmas.
+
How easy it is to get an idea of anything! We do it all the time and without stopping to ask ourselves anything. Add to this habit the fact that we spend more time focused on our phones or social networks and you will realize that we live in an unempathetic world. Why don't you stop for a moment to see what is around you, have you looked at the people around you, do you have an idea of what they feel, dream or want?
−
Because immersing ourselves, delimiting and working on this set of common concerns, is undoubtedly the first step to our spiritual awakening. It is the threshold of Buddhism, it is to be able to let go of our obsessive thoughts and social desires to leave behind our eternal fear of loss. Our fixation on profit, on the meaningless attachment...
+
Empathy requires you to take a moment to stop and look at what is going on around you. Observe the people you pass by and with whom you live. What do their attitudes tell you? Ask yourself what they are doing and analyze them. This will allow you to understand others without the need for them to tell you openly what is going on in their minds.
−
The 8 worldly dharmasThe 8 worldly dharmas speak to us above all of two concepts: detachment and lack of permanence. These ideas, these concepts, are undoubtedly our real nemesis, this shadow that haunts us and that we never end up seeing or recognizing. Thus, within our mentality and behavior, there are many of us who orient our existence in relation to certain dimensions, needs, people and materials that we consider essential to feel good.
+
See situations from the other side
−
We live attached to all these dimensions without understanding, without intuiting that nothing in this world can be retained forever. In our daily life, we live with certainties, attachments and expectations because they give us a sense of control. And if there is one thing we like, it is to have everything under control. However, there is nothing so volatile, capricious and immanent as life itself.
+
When you have an argument or simply disagree with another person, the most common thing to do is to stick to your point of view. The next time this happens, put yourself in the other person's shoes. It won't be easy the first few times, but practice will help you overcome the challenge. Ask yourself: what are the other person's reasons, what do you think he or she might be feeling, what fears or doubts is the other person's behavior based on?
−
Hence, any change destabilizes us. Every variation, failed expectation or unfulfilled goal leads to suffering and stress. For the Dharma, as long as our mind remains contaminated by these eight worldly principles we will never be free or noble. So, let us see what dimensions this framework of Buddhism refers to.
+
You will see that little by little these questions will help you to understand the situations you are living. It is easier to go through life believing that our point of view is the right or the best, but we forget that the other side also thinks that. Empathy will allow you to see that you don't have real enemies, but only opposing ideas that can be reconciled with some effort and discipline.
−
First pair: attachment to material possessions/ aversion to not receiving them or being separated from themThe 8 worldly dharmas are established in 4 pairs of attachment and aversion. Thus, the first of these refers to something that will be very familiar to us. We speak, of course, of our need to possess and the fear that comes from thinking about the distance or the damage to what we understand as ours. A thousand examples illustrate this: our attachment to technology, to certain brands of clothes, shoes, our cars, etc.
+
The importance of seeing a wider worldEmpathy gives you the ability to see a more complete and complex world. It may not seem very useful now, but the reality is that we live surrounded by people. All your goals, dreams and fears are based on living with others. Therefore, learning to see the world from the perspective of those around you will not only make you wiser but will allow you to reach your goals faster.
−
It is clear that many of these things we consider essential for our daily lives: they serve us to work and to give a certain image. However, the problem lies in experiencing a clear suffering when we do not have access to these objects, when we lack them and perceive our absolute dependence on them. This is undoubtedly a very relevant worldly dharma to work on.
+
When you are able to understand those around you, you can get them on board and they will help you achieve what you want. At the same time, you can be the change factor in their lives. The truth is that going through life rowing alone in the pursuit of your dreams is complicated but being accompanied will make the road more bearable.
−
Second pair: attachment to recognition, approval and fame/ aversion to censure or disapprovalWe all, in some way, need to feel validated, recognized and approved by those around us. We are social beings and these security ties allow us to function with greater ease. However, the problem, as always, comes when that need becomes a priority and constant. When we are unable to live without that external reinforcement, without that praise, without that permission, without that like in our photos, without that approval from our families, partners or coworkers.
 
−
Not knowing or not being able to live without those reinforcements or experiencing blocks or anxiety when we are censured or disapproved is another absolute source of suffering. Another of the pillars of the 8 worldly dharmas that we are obliged to identify and change.
 
−
Third pair: attachment to a good reputation/ aversion to a bad imageWhat does living conditioned by having a good or bad reputation imply? It basically implies not being free, not being able to act, feel, live and develop according to our desires. Because those who are concerned about what others think or what others may conclude about our appearance, actions or words, completely veto their own personal growth. It is not the right thing to do.
 
−
"When you do what you like, with passion, without receiving any retribution, and you lose track of time....
 
−
When you do it for the simple fact that you are happy doing it and you are also serving others, that is when you are in Dharma."
 
−
-Yogi Bhajan
 
−
Fourth pair: attachment to the pleasures of the five senses/aversion to unpleasant experiencesThis pair of the 8 worldly dharmas may cause us some contradiction. What is wrong if we orient our existence to those five senses with which to savor life in all its forms, tastes and sensations? Even more... why not dislike what is unpleasant or uncomfortable?
 
−
To understand this, we must put ourselves in the context of Buddhism. In this vision where the frugal, the humble and the just nourish every conduct, there is no room for excesses. In this philosophy the elevated passions, gluttony, desire, need do not harmonize... In balance is moderation and well-being, and it is at that point of not needing anything, where the conscience is freed from the material, where wisdom, compassion and authentic spiritual progress appear.
 
−
"Water cannot accumulate on the top of a mountain,
 
−
and true merit does not accumulate on the crest of pride."
 
−
To conclude, it is quite possible that these 8 worldly dharmas seem to us somewhat complicated to delimit and transform. This is because within our conception it is very difficult for us to give up the fantasy of permanence, to embrace the idea that we are not in absolute control of everything that happens.
 
−
However, let's keep the essence of these approaches, let them inspire us to shape a more autonomous life, free of selfishness, hollow pride, empty needs and thoughts that do not allow us to grow as people.
