Ciel Claridge Little Buddhas...and Their Parents!: The Buddhist Secrets of Raising Children. Ciel Claridge - Little Buddhas...and also their parents! Buddhist Secrets of Raising Children Little Buddhas are also their parents

When you read about the various approaches and exercises that are consistent with Buddhist truths, you will surely get the feeling: “How true it is!”. What I am writing about is deeply connected to the compassionate Buddha nature we all have. Revealing it in ourselves, we can successfully operate in all areas of our lives, and not just as parents.

I advise you to read the entire book first in order to understand as deeply as possible the underlying motivation, ideas and principles, and therefore the overall concept of raising children with the revelation of Buddha nature. Then go back to the beginning and choose the skills you would like to develop in yourself. The order - where to start, and what to proceed in the second place - determine for yourself. I advise you to start with simpler things and each time work on only one of the methods; once you feel like you've achieved what you want, move on.

All these skills and strategies need to be developed in practice. This will take time: erroneous mechanisms for responding to children's behavior will not disappear immediately. They have developed over the years, and it will take a lot of effort to create new useful and effective habits.

Be kind to yourself. Your development will not always be linear, and that's okay. Sometimes we make good progress for a while, and then the old stereotypes suddenly reappear. Be patient and compassionate with yourself. Don't self-flagellate. If you have embarked on this path, then you are moving in the right direction. Your Buddha nature is always available.

Material wealth binds us to samsara - but parenthood can lead to liberation.

This Sanskrit word is often translated as "conditioned existence." People who are attached to the illusion of their "I" and overcome by disturbing emotions do awkward things that lead them to be born in the six worlds. These are the six unenlightened states of consciousness, permeated various types suffering and inconvenience. One can be liberated from samsara, because the cause of rebirth is a mistake of perception, ignorance, ignorance of the true nature of the mind.

Why parents need Buddhism and why Buddhists should become parents

Driven by love and empathy
To those who have not yet known this true nature,
I dedicate my actions to the good of others:
May all beings achieve liberation!
I manifested in a human body,
To give others what they need.

Milarepa

Compassion and wisdom are at the heart of Buddhist philosophy. For the upbringing of children, a balanced combination of these qualities is as important as for Buddhism as a whole. These are the two wings of a bird - with one it will not fly. If parents have sympathy but forget about wisdom, they will not achieve anything. Wisdom is necessary in order to understand how to dispose of sympathy. Otherwise, it will do more harm than good, both to children and to our relationships with them.

The Buddhist lama Trungpa Rinpoche showed the difference between actual compassion and what he himself called the compassion of an idiot - that is, compassion without wisdom. This is a very apt term: with this approach, we feel good, believing that we are acting for the benefit of our children, but in fact we act like an idiot or a fool, indifferent to reality and to the true results of our steps.

For example, we empathize with our daughter because her friends said something to her and she is now upset. We think we should intervene and "fix the situation". But by doing this, we will prevent the daughter from learning from experience.

Another example: our baby loves sweets. He cries all the time, begging for candy, and out of sympathy we agree. When the son grows up, he will suffer from tooth decay, excess blood sugar and excess weight.

If in these situations we combined compassion with wisdom, we would act very differently, and our actions would benefit the child. Only wisdom helps us respond appropriately to the suffering of others.

If, through a Buddhist approach to parenting, we balance wisdom and empathy, this is coveted not only in our lives and the lives of children. As parents, we are in a unique position to influence people on a larger scale. The technique of cultivating the Buddha nature can produce such an inner transformation that will bring people more peace and peace, because peace in the outer world is created at the expense of inner peace in the minds of people.

In general, peace is not an external phenomenon, but an internal one, and mindfulness combined with impartiality helps to find it. Many people think that if they meditate, their mind will come to a state of peace. This is true to a certain extent, but meditation is done not only on a special pillow and in a special posture.

Meditation is the ability to remain aware at different moments of our Everyday life. Take, for example, washing dishes - we can carefully wash the dishes so that they become clean, or we can carefully wash the dishes to wash the dishes. In this way we can concentrate on the very experience of washing dishes. If we choose to apply mindfulness during this activity, then the goal will not be clean plates, but full presence in the process itself. Then we have a better understanding of both the chosen task and the work to accomplish it.

Impartiality - in the Buddhist context means freedom from attachment and dislike, as well as an equally imperturbable attitude towards praise and blasphemy.

When playing with children, we too can choose what to focus on or apply mindfulness to. You can play to develop some kind of skill in children or just calm them down, or you can do it to rejoice and enjoy the game and communication. Either way, we are consciously present in the moment.

Sometimes we will read a story to children just for the sake of reading and enjoying our interactions, and other times the purpose of reading will be to help them learn the alphabet or learn something new. When communicating with a child, we can set ourselves the goal of "just communicating" - and consciously stick to it.

Mindfulness and mindfulness - a clear presence that allows the practitioner to be fully aware of the object on which he is concentrated. This is a distinct and directed state. The Tibetan verb dran pa also means to remember or to be fully present.

The smile that lights up our face evokes a response in the heart of a child.

Having decided what to take on as carefully and consciously as possible, we are not distracted by other things. This opportunity should be used with wisdom and empathy, so as to choose an action that will be beneficial for children now and in time to come.

Mindfulness brings peace, which we will constantly spread around us. When we are calm and full of loving kindness, this is passed on to children. They feel appreciated. They may learn something new or learn to behave properly during and after our fun together.

Peace is available to us when we are able to calm our distracted or agitated mind and be present in what is. If we have managed to achieve this, we are happy and smiling. The smile that lights up our face evokes a response in the heart of a child. It relaxes our facial muscles, nourishes awareness, and miraculously calms everyone down. This feeling of blissful stillness sustains us in our parental role.

Enlightened attitude (in Sanskrit, bodhichitta) is the decision to achieve Enlightenment and lead all beings to it without exception.

As we develop empathy and an Enlightened mindset, we gain the power to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony, first in the family, then in the wider community, and ultimately wherever we go. This is why cultivating the enlightened mind, or bodhichitta, is an important part of Buddhist meditation.

If, in addition, we can create an atmosphere of impersonal love in the family, help children also develop empathy and thereby achieve inner harmony, then peace and joy will increase exponentially.

All methods of the Buddhist path contribute to the improvement of the Enlightened mood. It takes us away from self-centeredness and therefore frees us from suffering. Using Buddhist methods, we will learn to cultivate bodhichitta in ourselves in any life situation.

Some of the readers are probably familiar with the fundamentals of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, while others may not. The overview below will provide the necessary basis for understanding these truths. The study and practice of Buddhism will benefit everyone; in addition, there is a list of other sources at the end of the book that will give you additional information.

Quotes from the book "Little Buddhas ... and also their parents! Buddhist Secrets of Raising Children by Ciel Claridge

The family is the place where minds come into contact with each other. If these minds love each other, the house is as beautiful as a garden of flowers. But if these minds are in disharmony with each other, the garden looks ruined, as if a storm had passed through it.
Buddha Shakyamuni

Our role here is rather to open up opportunities for the child and create conditions for the realization of his potential. We serve as a guide on the way to improve his life. The goal is to help him succeed, to develop self-discipline; we do not need to praise or scold the child in order to teach or control something. The system of rewards and punishments is not at all effective, given what exactly we want to achieve.
In the final sense, our child creates his own destiny. Our task is to help him develop the skills and knowledge to do it successfully. Children should be treated the way we would like to be treated. As adults, do we want to be told what to do and not to do, punished and rewarded, not listened to our arguments, not allowed to participate in the decisions that affect our lives?

all beings will achieve Enlightenment

Thanks

I would never have written this book if it had not been for my children. They made me want to “get it right” and do the best I can for them. When they were born, I devoted myself not only to them, but in general to all children and their parents. Children are the future, and by helping them reach their potential, which is called the enlightened nature in Buddhism, we are doing something very important.

My children are very dear to me. Each of them has a special place in my heart, and I am deeply grateful to them for coming into my life - as well as for their contribution to the appearance of this book.

I greatly appreciate the help of my sister-in-law Shannon, whose clear mind enriched my first draft with warmth and meaning.

I am sincerely grateful to the thousands of parents with whom I have worked over the years. You helped me hone the skills and knowledge described in this book. I learned as you did. We walked this path together.

As a practicing Buddhist, I am still at the first rung of the ladder leading to an understanding of Buddhist philosophy. I owe a lot to the Venerable Tenzin Chönyi (Dr. Diana Taylor) who supported me and gave me invaluable advice. She carefully proofread and edited the manuscript twice, checking my interpretation of Buddhist principles. Many thanks to her for this. Now I am sure of the accuracy of the Buddhist formulations given here; moreover, by questioning my understanding, Dr. Taylor forced me to take a closer look at various aspects of the Buddhist teachings, which, as it turned out, I did not perceive quite correctly.

Working in many countries, I studied Buddhism from books and lectures that were available in my places of residence. Without the involvement of Geshe Tashi Tsering of the Chenrezig Institute and the inspiring support of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, my education would lack human warmth.

A book about parenting is a book about family bonds, and I wouldn't be where I am today without the love of my parents and brother. As is usually the case in families, loved ones have always played an important role in my life. My brother Gordon opened my eyes to Buddhist philosophy. Thank you.

Finally, I express my gratitude to my life partner - who could wish for better? I will never have enough words of gratitude for him.

Foreword

Being parents is hard work.

One day my father confessed to me that he makes mistakes all the time. I was a teenager then, so his statement is not surprising, but whatever mistakes he thinks he made, he certainly did something right. Today we, his daughters and sons, easily find a common language. Mom and Dad laid the foundation for this in our early childhood. Of course, our parents were far from ideal. They either instilled in me faith in my strength, or completely undermined it. So any book that helps parents negotiate through the minefield of parenting is sure to do the trick.

There are many manuals on this topic published in the world, but there is not one that is completely based on Buddhist principles. Everything in Buddhism is based on the relationship of cause and effect. If we do something useful, it will bring good fruit. It is an optimistic philosophy that makes it possible to achieve complete freedom from ignorance and, therefore, from any suffering. We probably won’t achieve this in one lifetime, but we can at least start.

The Buddha's teaching first of all explains where we are now. His means of self-improvement are intended not only for monks and nuns, but also for lay people - that is, parents. These teachings and methods constitute the "wisdom wing" of Buddhism.

The second wing of this bird is sympathy, or compassion. What does it mean to be sympathetic to a child when he falls into fits of childish anger or sucks up to you for the sake of a coveted toy? How to show empathy for a one and a half year old baby and a six year old first grader? Parents today face challenges that no one has ever faced before. Our children grow up in a society that encourages them to relentlessly demand and want more, while polluting the world more and more.

Although the circumstances of life change, our ways of interacting with each other, for good or ill, are the same as they were 2,500 years ago. We unwittingly fall into the same traps of anger, frustration, overreaction; we still want our children to be happy so much that we often have the opposite effect.

The value of this publication is that it combines the experience of the author's Buddhist practice with years of motherhood and work as a child psychologist.

I am glad that the common sense and kindness of Ciel Claridge found expression in this book.

Section 1
Why Buddhism?

The family is the place where minds come into contact with each other. If these minds love each other, the house is as beautiful as a garden of flowers. But if these minds are in disharmony with each other, the garden looks ruined, as if a storm had passed through it.

Buddha Shakyamuni

In this section, the author shares his opinion that parenting with Buddhist wisdom and compassion is the most effective and beneficial approach to raising children. Here we will find discussions about why parents need Buddhism and why Buddhists should become parents. This gives a basic understanding of the mutual integration of Buddhist philosophy and modern psychology - the basis for a wise parenting approach.

Opportunity for parents

The mind of every being, including you and me, has all the perfect qualities, that's why we try to know it. Right now we are not yet able to see the incredible richness inherent in the mind. But the more we strive to comprehend it, the more We will benefit beings, and we will be able to lead them to Enlightenment. That's why we practice.

Hanna Nidal

Whether you are a Buddhist who is interested in raising children or a parent who is interested in Buddhism, this book will show you how to create a powerful synergy between the two areas of life, effectively and compassionately parent, and practice the Dharma with passion.

Here is a principle useful to all: actions must be done with awareness and guided by compassion and wisdom. Along with the role of a parent, we gain additional motivation, the possibility of internal development and a deeper understanding of Buddhism.

Practicing Buddhism while raising children is essentially the same as practicing Buddhism without being parents; either way, it's smart work. But the life in which children appear often becomes more meaningful. They provide us with a myriad of opportunities to deepen our practice and understanding of Buddhism, to learn how to truly live the Dharma.

Sympathy, or compassion, is the active desire for beings to be happy and free from suffering.

Wisdom implies various kinds of knowledge, but the main thing is the understanding that all phenomena are illusory in nature and are inseparable from the perceiving mind.

Those who see worldly life as a hindrance to the Dharma,

They do not see the Dharma in everyday affairs.

They have not yet realized that there is no daily practice outside of the Dharma.

Dogen, Zen master. XIII century

Many believe that a Buddhist will develop best in a meditation cave. In fact, only a few of us are able to lead an ascetic life in secluded places, but we can all practice the Dharma "here and now" - whoever we are and in whatever situation we are. Buddhism focuses on personal responsibility for internal development based on a rational, deep and complex attitude to human life.

This is why the Buddhist approach to partnerships and parenting begins with the individual taking responsibility for his own growth and improvement of the qualities of the mind. Here skills and strategies are combined with wisdom and empathy to achieve success - both in parenting and in your own development. I call this approach Buddha Heart Parenting.

I developed this system in order to provide parents, grandparents, as well as nannies and anyone who cares for the younger generation, with ethical parenting rules based on the Buddhist principles of compassion and love. These methods are simple and easy to apply, thanks to them relationships become harmonious, and children grow up energetic and self-confident. I gave this system this name because if we base our care of children on Buddhist philosophy and Buddhist views, we are actually referring to the inherently perfect nature of the mind - the nature of the Buddha. We treat our charges the way the Buddha would treat them.

When we understand that all beings have the same inherent nature, that they strive to achieve happiness and avoid suffering, it is easier for us to maintain the proper level of compassion and loving-kindness. This common essence is the “motor” inside us that makes us become better, because if we ourselves are useful to others, we are also happy. Of course, sometimes due to inattention we make mistakes, but still, basically, both the parent and the child try their best.

Every person has a tendency to think first of all about themselves. We tend to believe that other people and our children, by their behavior, “force” us to be angry, offended, and the like. The approach proposed here teaches to look at fundamental reasons human actions - people behave the way they feel. We can bring this understanding into meditation and look at everyone else from this angle: by their behavior, beings express their state of happiness or suffering. This opening will allow you to remain calm in the midst of conflict, responding with compassion and wisdom.

In trying to figure out why people behave the way they do, we shift our focus from ourselves to them. To begin with, we look closely at the behavior of our children and closest relatives, study its causes, and later we can include the family in its broader sense in the field of our observation. Then we expand these boundaries even more - we turn to society and the world, realizing that the immediate cause of the awkward behavior of beings is their suffering. In this way we develop kindness and love for all.

From this love grows compassion, that is, the desire that beings be free from suffering and its causes. Our meditation on understanding others and developing compassion can be considered successful if we feel for all living things the way a mother feels for an only child when she falls ill. In any situation: eating, walking, and so on, she keeps her sick child in mind, feels his suffering as unbearable for herself and wishes him to get rid of them as soon as possible. This is the feeling we take into our meditation, and it gives parents a unique opportunity to develop compassion.

When we awaken our all-encompassing compassion, we can very quickly remember that if our children misbehave, they suffer. Then we will be able to remain calm and choose the way of responding that will be most useful. Otherwise, our response to the behavior of children will cause even more suffering for them and for ourselves.

There are many other Buddhist techniques that can be valuable in situations like this and help us develop empathy for the child while remaining calm in the midst of family turmoil. Three of them are particularly useful and easy to use. One implies the understanding that throughout the myriad lives we have spent in various bodies, our children have certainly been our parents. They cared and cared about us as much as we care about them; realizing this, we will be able to stay in balance and not succumb to provocation. Another practice is to imagine that the child is a Buddha who took birth to help us achieve Enlightenment. Finally, we can focus on the Buddha nature and potential inherent in our sons and daughters.

Applying these techniques is extremely helpful—not just once, but all the time, especially when we get angry with our kids. It is important to remember that without difficult situations which are often associated with the upbringing of offspring, we would not get an opportunity to truly practice the Buddha's Teachings. If there were no sand, there would be no pearls.

Enlightenment is the ultimate fruit of Buddhist practice, Buddhahood. It is characterized by freedom from suffering, omniscience, fearlessness, joy and boundless compassion for all beings.

The purpose of this book is to make it easier for us to achieve Enlightenment, to awaken the Buddha within us and allow him to guide all our parenting activities. This is what it means to reveal the Buddha nature. Thanks to this, the relationship in the family will receive a solid foundation of compassion: it will develop in both parents and children. Through these methods, our wards will have a better chance of realizing their potential and achieving true and lasting happiness.

The main question of this book is “how?”. How do we raise children to awaken the Buddha nature in them? The first chapters are about why parents and children behave in a certain way towards each other. If we understand this, and then begin to use the methods and tools proposed in the last chapters, we will be able to transform both family relationships and our whole life beyond recognition. Emphasis is placed on the Buddha's core teachings on compassion, impermanence, emptiness, and dependent origination, and on how to integrate these qualities and concepts into all aspects of parenting. The Eightfold Path and the practice of the Paramitas, or Liberating Actions: generosity, intelligent conduct, patience, joyful effort, meditation, and wisdom will help achieve this.

I firmly believe that all parents want their family ties to be built on mutual empathy, peace and friendship.

In addition, it shows why some modern approaches to parenting often do not give the expected results and are not consistent with Buddhist philosophy. Certain conventional parenting practices can even do more harm than good. Today, other theories in the field of child psychology, very close to Buddhism, are emerging, and we will see how they complement each other and provide powerful transformative tools.

How effective are the views and tools offered in this book? They have helped me and many others. The Buddha asks us to listen carefully, to reflect on what we hear, to doubt, and not to take anything for granted without careful analysis; therefore, while reading these pages, slowly weigh the accuracy and truth of what is written, see how it suits you personally. Put the advice into practice and judge for yourself. Maybe you only want to hone a few skills, but this reflects your desire to improve your family relationships so that you and your children are better off.

I firmly believe that all parents want their family ties to be built on mutual empathy, peace and friendship. But often the advice that experts give us in this regard does not help achieve this at all. Behavior management techniques that use the "reward and punishment" method are far from ideal, because they do not lead to the development of Buddha potential in children. Separate recommendations for parents effectively change the external behavior of children, but without improving the internal motivation and attitude to the world, we do not receive the necessary and effective means that would develop the child and ourselves on the spiritual path, would lead to deepening mutual love and empathy. We need a kind of middle path where kinship ties are transformed into a solid foundation of compassion and wisdom. We are all capable of achieving this, the main thing is to resolutely take up work on ourselves.

How to use this book

The transformation we crave may take time and effort. We will need to work on our own development, while improving our parenting skills in practice. We can develop a program of meditation and study of Buddhist principles and ideas;

it will allow you to devote at least a few minutes a day to inner growth. And the book is designed to support this work with useful knowledge and give it new impetus. It will provide you with practical tools to use your understanding of Buddhist teachings in your relationships with children.
