Berbuat baik juga tidak perlu, karena pikiran bisa terkontaminasi oleh perbuatan baik kita.
Makin mantap.
Kenapa anda selalu memplesetkannya. Buddha mengajarkan seseorang berbuat kebaikan. Setelah anda berbuat baik anda jangan melekat pada kebaikan ini. Anda jangan melekat pada pandangan anda telah berbuat banyak kebaikan karena itu hanya menjadi penghalang dalam praktek anda. Anda jangan menyimpannya dalam batin dan pikiran anda bahwa anda telah melakukan suatu kebaikan duniawi.
Jika seseorang yang mempunyai pandangan itu setelah memberi atau berbuat kebaikan, maka pikiran tersebut hanya menghasilkan sebab duniawi yng menghasilkan karma kelahiran kembali. Untuk mencapai nibbana, kita harus mewujudkan sebab sebab nibbana dengan mempertahankan pikiran yang berdiam di satu titik yang melampau ke 2 kutub tersebut bahagian dan duka, baik dan jahat dst
Berikut ini cuplikan dari Ajahn Chah
All things have need of a way of release. Contemplation is not a matter of holding on and sticking to things. It's a matter of releasing. A mind that can't release phenomena is in a state of intoxication. In practice, it's important not to be intoxicated. When practice really seems to be good, don't be intoxicated by that good. If you're intoxicated by it, it becomes something harmful, and your practice is no longer correct. We do our best, but it's important not to become drunk on our efforts, otherwise we are out of harmony with Dhamma. This is the Buddha's advice. Even the good is not something to get intoxicated by. Be aware of this when it happens.

Thus we humans wish for things in abundance. If we get a lot, that's good. Generally that's how we think. Doing good is supposed to bring good results, and if we get that we're happy. We think that's all we need to do and we stop there. But where does good come to conclusion? It doesn't remain. We keep going back and forth, experiencing good and bad, trying day and night to seize on to what we feel is good.
The Buddha's teaching is that first we should give up evil and then we practice what is good. Second, he said that we should give up evil and give up the good as well, not having attachment to it because that is also one kind of fuel. When there is something that is fuel it will eventually burst into flame. Good is fuel. Bad is fuel.
Speaking on this level kills people. People aren't able to follow it. So we have to turn back to the beginning and teach morality. Don't harm each other. Be responsible in your work and don't harm or exploit others. The Buddha taught this, but just this much isn't enough to stop.
