Sometimes when I read a certain sutta and comes to a touchy point where I suddenly felt so amazing and I got tears in my eyes. Have you guys experience this before? ---

I get a nice feeling when i hear the words. > “aññāsi vata, bho koṇḍañño, aññāsi vata bho koṇḍañño"ti. iti hidaṃ āyasmato koṇḍaññassa ‘aññāsikoṇḍañño’ tveva nāmaṃ ahosi.” From Dhammacakka. I can get real tears of joy, when I contemplate how lucky I am to be a monk, or when I contemplate my teachers. It comes while I’m talking about monk life or (to) my teachers I have to stop talking when I feel the tears coming.Otherwise, they really come. I guess that is what they call, “Getting choked up”. ---

It happens when I try to do metta… I experience goosebumps. And sensation moving all around body …and i do metta that time …and I feel like crying but I stop that I do not need to cry …some time when I see buddha image or a bhikku again I feel to cry but I stop it … I think crying is bad … I think I am overreacting at that situation. Becouse in reality I do not follow shila in that extent. And just cry for buddha is not right when you don’t follow his teachings properly. ---

Maybe it’s not literally tears in my eyes but I do feel really glad and relieved when I contemplate how lucky I am to be a Buddhist and the benefits I will get by following the Dhamma. Maybe I’m a Buddhist now because I have made enough good kamma in the past. It makes me feel lucky and special. ---

The following line from the Angulimala Paritta, usually gives me a hair raising feeling when I hear it > yatohaṃ, bhagini, **ariyāya jātiyā jāto** , nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṃ jīvitā voropetā ---

Maybe I’m a Buddhist now because I have made enough good kamma in the past. It makes me feel lucky and special. Yes me too.. especially regarding my monk life and remembering generosity towards me. It is in some of my videos.
