From passion to enlightenment.

 

The number 0 represents the state where most people know, what is known and recognized as a - an indistinguishable state of existence. The number "1" represents the primal desire and sole, self-knowledge and self-experience. To experience, need to have the other one, that is, the universe must exist.

But, if there is no self and no other or the universe, there would be no experience. The consolidation should then be differentiated. When the ego out of the division, then the other, or things present universe immediately. In order to clear up the duality requires the opposition between spirit (or consciousness) and matter were completely integrated. Digit "2", so symbolizes the duality and contradiction between spirit and matter, the disagreement between subject and object, without ever going through a period of consolidation conditions are not have been.

Then the primal desire expressed recognizing the competence in the field related to the causes and consequences of space - time. According to Sankhya, the first trigger is Mahat, buddhi, great people (great people) often misunderstood is the intellect, and it is explained correctly means the capacity to understand and know. Appear no earlier than the known in the field of causality, also appears as the dark side of that - the lack of knowledge (or ignorance), as opposed to ignorance is enlightenment.

Thanks to the ability to see, sense of self arises first and the universe, the 'other' began to exist. Because of the lack of knowledge (ignorance), should be shaped so that the ahamkara to the ego - the ego, the false wrongful me. This limited ego, "I was like this or like that", is what we know about ourselves first. Such is not the first appearance of enlightenment, which is a lack of understanding, a kind of awareness is not real.

Self, the false ego shows up in the illusion of the person or people who have experience working as subject and the other, the universe exists outside the hotel it is possible. Ego - the ego is the first identification of pure consciousness, spirit, it's not an illusion. This recognition then act indiscriminately, making themselves pure awareness is a mistaken perception is limited and a lack of ego needy are seeking the meaning of integrity. Every time you feel knowing that each time it is generated more strong and deep that just to strengthen a false sense of ego, ego. This is the cause of ignorance.

Awareness leads to indiscriminate attachment and rigid beliefs, opinions, teachings, image and self-worth because of ego clinging them, do not want to drop out. Consciousness is pure ego fool even experienced the relentless cycle of pleasure and pain resulting from this attachment. To strengthen, consolidate and conserve more ythuc myself, so I wallow in despair accumulation, smug, self-assertion, is required graciously agreed and implemented every possible strategy to maintain themselves.

Once awareness has taken root in the form of ignorance, we can not remove or delete it; it is there in our memories. The only way to overcome it and prevent this judgment that sense regardless. Here there should be the role of a teacher - masters brainer really, who has the correct knowledge, a true understanding.

The Master acts as a lamp which, when it is used it can light up the lamp itself and melt away the darkness of ignorance. Once the truth (or perhaps should) start flashing in mind, the illusion of truth or falsehood will not be weak and eventually die out completely satisfied and immediately realized. All the knowledge and desire to urge recognition, the root of bondage, also disappeared. You become a witness.

When you get to know the truth about yourself, you feel no need to know anything more again. You realize that once the illusion is so real and true to you exactly as it is, it is still not clear how ambiguous meaning. Yet we still spent many years contributing significantly to pick up and identify with the feelings generated bondage before we realize that enlightenment is super Vietnamese liberation, immediate and ever-present.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.13/10/2014.
