About Beijing University of Mindfulness.
Venerable Silananda instructor.
-ooOoo-
H hug today I will explain
to you a summary of Beijing University of mindfulness. Have you practiced
Vipassana years should be understood Beijing University of mindfulness.
In order for
you to understand Beijing University of mindfulness up every morning in
Vipassana courses I usually let you read the summary section of Beijing
University of mindfulness on. This is a passage taken from Beijing University of
mindfulness. Although this is only a summary paragraph Beijing
University of mindfulness, but this passage is very important for the students
to practice Vipassana meditation. There are clearly understood, accurate Beijing
University of mindfulness meditators can meditate properly and have good
results. If
you do not understand Beijing University of mindfulness, students will not know
how to meditate, meditate therefore misleading and not
results.
We already know the method or insight meditation Four
Foundations of Mindfulness Meditation is a method of meditation by the Buddha
discovered. Buddha himself practiced the Four Foundations of
Mindfulness, and after achieving good results, he took this approach to teaching
during the forty-five years. During the forty-five years the Buddha explained
repeatedly Beijing University of mindfulness. After the Buddha's nirvana, insight meditation
methods were monks chanting and then recorded in writing and placed on the
Tripitaka. Those who practice Vipassana meditation seriously rely
on this basic texts or on the whole Beijing University of mindfulness to
practice.
Passage above is extracted from the Beijing University
of mindfulness. Pali texts is called Maha Satipatthana Sutta (University of Mindfulness), which means:
"all legal discusses the basics of mindfulness
" or "article
discusses the legal setting mindfulness
" . In doing Maha Satipatthana Sutta (University of Mindfulness), the Buddha taught the
Four Foundations of Mindfulness Meditation practice or Vipassana. According to the teachings
of the business, there are four basic, or four areas, or four places to
establish mindfulness. The word sati is defined and explained in the glossary
means: Mindfulness is set firmly. Mindfulness strong going into the object, covering
subjects and settings on a solid object. Characteristics of mindfulness is not
superficial, floating on the surface but deep in the object. Explanatory Notes are
mindful not only superficial surface as a light object floating on the water to
sink deep into the audience like a pebble in deep water. When practicing Vipassana,
we have established a solid awareness on the main titles or headings on the
current outstanding.
Let's consider each verse of this
passage:
The literal Bhikkhu (bhikkhus)
Buddha is often called the
monk Bhikkhu (bhikkhus). Bhikkhu . Bhikkhu mean many of which have a mean mendicants, who were
begging. But
beggars here does not mean begging as usual. Now begging him to stand before the Bhikkhu
benefactor and not ask for anything. The benefactors have brought attention to the
voluntary offerings of food for mendicants to grace the refrigerator.
So
Bhikkhu as mendicants noble or holy mendicants rather than
the usual begging. Bhikkhu word also means the obvious dangers of
rebirth. Based on this definition, not only monks, called the
Bhikkhu that any layman any apparent danger of rebirth are called bhikkhus.
Therefore,
while explaining Beijing University of mindfulness I often use the word without
using the word Bhikkhu The Master; because if I use the word for homeowners
Bhikkhu , some people will think that this business just for
the Master only. Why Bhikkhu Buddha used the word in his sermons?
Because the
Buddha lived in the monastery with the monk to teach, when he called the teacher
is Bhikkhu. Of course, when he taught religion, the temple also
has a number of laymen, but most are still Bhikkhu practice under his guidance.
That is why
the Buddha used the word Bhikkhu. Sometimes also used the word Buddha
Bhikkhave.
General economic theory in the land of mindfulness is
Kuru, a parish near New Delhi, India today. When business is theory, there are a lot of
listening and lay under. According to annotate the Kuru people in the Land of
diligent practice of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. When they met often asked:
In the four measures mindful of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, do you
practice? If
respondents answered no, then that country will reprimand people and start
teaching them how to meditate. But if they said they were close observation,
observing life ... like this, like this ... they will be all praise: "You
instead! You instead! Life you lots of happiness it is worthwhile. You have good
use of their existence as human beings. It is because of people like you that
the Buddha has appeared in the world. " Thus, when using the word Bhikkhu does not mean that the Buddha did not say to those
who are not religious. Anyone who accept and practice the teachings of the
Buddha are called Bhikkhu . Therefore, the Buddha said: "Hey Mr. Bhikkhu" must be
understood as the monks, nuns and laypeople who are talking
about.
This is the only
way
The word "It" here is Vipassana or the
Four Foundations of Mindfulness. So this question is understood as:
Vipassana is the only way
...
To understand this question you must understand Pàli
the word "only way". Pali is the only way "ekayana" . Eka means one, and
Ayana mean streets. So ekayana means a road. The word "eka-yana" is interpreted in five
ways.
About the only way that a problem is raised
here:
When you say "This is the only way", the word "only"
or "only one" here is to show Vipassana or Satipatthana means Mindfulness is the
only way. But mindfulness as a factor of the Noble Eightfold
Path. Are
other factors in the Eightfold Path is not the path to purification of beings or
what? The
answer is: The other elements of the Eightfold Path is the path to factor in the
purification of beings, but this path can not be lack of mindfulness.
When
mindfulness is mentioned, these other factors are also mentioned. Thus, the oil alone is
said to be mindful, but we must understand that when it comes to mindfulness
other seven factors of the Noble Eightfold Path is included in
that.
Mindfulness is the only way to achieve nirvana, but
mindfulness practice through a variety of ways, can contemplate the body, life
concept, concepts, mindfulness or legal concepts of each part of the body etc ..
Mahasatipatthana Xu said to twenty different practices we choose. So, I think that when he
said "This is the only way" wrong result.
Mindfulness such as a sentinel. Without guards, anyone
can go to the gate freely, not control. So, how long mindful of control, restrain the senses,
the mind we were in the morning. Because mindfulness is right senses to the door so no
one guarding the unwholesome mental factors that can come into our minds.
When
mindfulness is no longer guarding the senses, mindfulness has moved to another
location or we lose mindfulness, all negativity going on. Thus, mindfulness is the
only way to keep the mind clear.
People often argue about Pali word "
ekayano "(a path). But in the Dhammapada, the Buddha said very clearly
that: "This is the only way and no other way to purification of beings."
Thus, we can
not assume that the Buddha has said there is a different path. Buddha emphasized: "This
is the only way" so, I think we have to accept that there is only a single path
for the purification of beings only. If you take the practice to prove, sure we will see
more clearly. When you try to actively meditate you will see
clearly mindful that the only way. One thing should be noted here: Mindfulness is a
major factor in the Eightfold Path, the path to where the escape suffering.
As the
Buddha said in the Dhammapada: Eightfold Path is the only way, it also means:
Mindfulness is the only path that.
This is the only path to purification of
beings
That is to purify the "heart" of beings. Heart of all beings
contaminated by various kinds of afflictions. Our mind almost always clean, always be
greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance tame. The kind of disturbing to pollute our minds.
Vipassana
Meditation helps us to purify the mind. This is the only way to purify the heart of
all beings. While you practice Vipassana meditation, the
negativity as greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance etc ... temporarily absent.
When you
reach Nibbana then your mind completely escape from every defilement.
Take this
road we will reach the floor level of the highest enlightenment and mind will be
completely clean.
Purification here is purifying the mind beings, because the Buddha interested in purifying
the mind rather than the physical body. This does not mean that the Buddha said we
should not pay attention to the body, do not keep the body clean, but it is
important that the Buddha would say is that keeping a clean mind. Therefore purification
of beings here means purification of beings. In the glossary Buddha taught us to keep
clean because mindfulness helps clean and intellectual development: Clean
include clean inside and outside clean. Clean the inside is keeping the body clean.
Clean the
outside is keeping clothing, furniture, clean accommodation. Because mindfulness
helps clean and intellectual development so we need to keep body and clean place
to meditate. Cleanliness is essential to cultivate, develop and
wisdom. Although we are not delinquent in keeping the body
clean. But,
as it is not enough, we must be more interested in keeping a clean mind.
Therefore,
the Buddha Ooi mindfulness is the only path to purification of
beings.
This is the only way to put an end to sorrow, frustration
mourn
Want termination, sorrow, frustration mourning we
have to practice mindfulness. Sorrow is a mental state, frustrations lament is:
'just sulk and cry into small and lament'. To tame the sorrow we must practice Vipassana
meditation. Vipassana meditation when you have to get to know
everything that happens where you are. You have recorded each one thing to you in the
present moment. When you get to know everything, when you observe
things in meditation, the defilements can not arise. When you reach the last
floor is Arhat, all sorrow, mourning your frustrations are eradicated.
Many thanks
to Vipassana meditation that sorrow, frustration mourning was
tame.
This is the only way to end suffering and
grief
Here is the suffering body aches in the body, the
discomfort in the body, the mind and mental suffering is suffering, depression,
frustration, anger, hatred etc .. When meditating for a long time you feel pain.
At first
you can not tame the pain, but if you patiently observe and acknowledge the
pain, and when your concentration is strong, the pain will disappear and you
tame the pain. Maybe the pain lasts but thanks mindful that you can
live with the pain and accept the pain. As Venerable Anuruddha said: "When you can
live with the pain, accept your pain, the mind will not be harassed, chaotic.
Once your mind is no longer being harassed by the pain of the body they can say
no more pain. " So, want to eliminate or tame our own suffering to
Vipassana meditation. You can also conquer grief: depression, frustration,
anger, hatred etc .. thanks Vipassana meditation. And when your meditation
progresses, mind you reach the highest floor, the pain and grief will be
destroyed completely.
Mental suffering is a mental state, sorrow is a
mental state. We are always linked together. You can tame, eliminate
or avoid unwholesome mental states, thanks to Vipassana
meditation.
Each time an object of interest only. He could not recognize
the two objects at the same time. I think we are lucky to be interested only recognize
an object. If the mind can get two or more objects at once, the
suffering of our biggest ever. Thanks mind that each time an object is only
recognized so we can conquer grief and sorrow by practicing Vipassana.
Get anger,
for example. For example I am more angry he thought of his A. A
then my anger rising. My anger increased sales because I took him as an
object A to mind. But when I turn my attention from the thinking of Mr.
A, the source of the anger into rage. That is, instead of focusing on Mr. A, I focus on the
anger. By
the time I moved the main focus on the anger at Mr. A took no longer present in
my mind anymore. tng A, the object of anger, not even in my mind
again, the anger is gone for good. This is an effective way to subdue the unwholesome
mental states. This method seems simple but very effective because
we have applied mindfulness forcefully confront the negativity. This is a good way to
help us cope with these afflictions such as craving, attachment, anger, hatred,
depression, anxiety, sorrow etc .. Any interest arising chug what basis we also
can subdue them with mindfulness. While mindful of the strong one, the unwholesome
mental states on will certainly disappear. Therefore Buddha:
This is the only way to purify (center) being,
terminated, sorrow, frustration mourning.
This is the only way to reach the Noble ...
When reading about Buddhism you will meet several
times carefully. Sometimes thoughtful written in lowercase, but most
are written in Chinese. Act as a technical term to refer to a group of eight
elements, also known as the Noble Eightfold Path (Right Understanding, Right
Thought, Right Speech, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right
Concentration). Eight of the Noble Eightfold Path arise at Reach
Noble or Enlightenment. At Reach Noble or Enlightenment, the eight factors of
the Noble Eightfold Path arise with a center called "spirituality". Letters from the
Enlightenment is an obfuscation. People have used the word Enlightenment freely,
comfortably, but only a few can really understand this word. Without a proper
definition of the word Enlightenment we will misinterpret right. Depending on the user,
depending on the religious Enlightenment understood words mean different things.
Signature
Enlightenment in Buddhism very dissimilar letters in the Catholic Enlightenment
and Enlightenment very dissimilar letters are used in parties and political
theory etc ..
Speaking to the Enlightenment, we need to know what
is the Enlightenment. According to Buddhism, Enlightenment means "at the
same time eliminating negativity and directly visible Nirvana, Nirvana visible
face to face with Nirvana." For a student to practice Vipassana meditation, as
they progress from low to high, more and achieve higher wisdom. Through constant
practice of mindfulness meditation as such, to a point, a center ever ever,
appear in their hearts. This center, is accompanied by an appropriate number
of mental states, there is an extremely strong effort eradicate negativity, and
negativity that have been eliminated will not come back again, at the same time
take Nibbana as object. Thus, Enlightenment or Reach Noble is what happened
at that time - at a time when the mind arises, eliminating negativity and take
Nibbana as object. Tam Tam Dao called. Thus, to achieve the Noble just means simply
Enlightenment. By the time you actually achieve Noble, you
Awakening, eliminating negativity and retrieve the object hash Nirvana.
There are
four noble or four floor levels of enlightenment, there are also four types of
spirituality. Each spirituality eradicate or weaken some negativity
and when reached Wednesday spirituality, all defilements are eradicated.
Noble
wanted to achieve, achieve consciousness capable to eradicate all kinds of
afflictions are only four foundations of mindfulness is the only
path.
This is the only path to Nibbana
.
Nibbana is a Noble Book. We can say that the
Scoring Scoring Noble Path and the Realization Center Attain Nirvana's Path and
Fruit. After the fruit Tam Tam Dao to right. Tam Dao immediately
followed by two or three moments of Fruit Mind. If there is little
understanding of the Abhidhamma (Abhidhamma) , then you will understand clearly on this issue.
It should
be added that the Act Tam Tam and fruit are taken Nirvana as object and "see"
Nirvana directly. Both point in time is called
Nibbana.
In short, the Buddha taught us Mindfulness is the only way to
purify (center) being, terminated, sorrow, frustration mourning, the end of
suffering and grief, achieve and realize Noble Nirvana. It is the Four
Foundations of Mindfulness (four-way
observation,).
That's Path Four Foundations of
Mindfulness (four foundations of
mindfulness or insight France).
We need to learn the word "foundation" and
"mindfulness". First need to know what is mindfulness. All we have to meditate
for years, but sometimes someone asks: What is mindfulness we can answer
unwarranted. Mindfulness or insight is translated from the Pali
word "Sati" , and texts called "Satipatthana." I have the Sati here. I translated Sati is "Mindfulness" or "insight" (attention observe a
clear, crystal wall). Hard to find a better word to translate properly.
Under the
terms, Sati means "home", but common sense is
Sati means broader and covers more than just an empty
house. Glossary definitions Sati is, but its features are not superficial, that is
not floating on the surface. If that is Sati , it is not superficial, surface but going into
objects. Therefore, I always tell the students is to "fully
conscious object" or to "consciousness across subjects." Sati has the ability (or result in) is not missing
objects. How long do we have Sati or insight, we do not miss the object, not the
object forget. Mindfulness and Insight is like a doorman standing at
the door of the guys in the control.
"Platform" or "fundamental" of Mindfulness, actually
means "set" or or "build", "firmly established mindfulness", "Mindfulness is
built solid". Signature Satipatthana translated as "the foundation of mindfulness", "the
foundation of insight", but to understand it is set firmly mindfulness, a
solidly. In
Beijing University of mindfulness, the Buddha said to the four foundations of
mindfulness or four foundation of insight. When operating in a Vipassana meditation
course like this, you practice all four platforms. But not you practice
basic sequential each scored a classic like that, depending on the presence of
the title, you apply a foundation or mindfulness appropriate way. In practice you have to
concentrate on the current object. You can not ignore the current object. The object existing at
the Body, Life sometimes is, there is at the center and at the French.
Prominent
object of the present invention is to focus on objects close to it. You must pay attention
to the section on the present, not choice. That is why Vipassana is also known as "the
conscious choice not". This means that when you meditate not selected for
the position, but let's focus insight of what is appearing in the
present.
After that the benefits of Vipassana meditation,
Buddha summary guide us how to meditate under the four fundamental insight.
Four basic
is that?
Bhikkhu close observation of the body, ardent, aware
and mindful, remove all craving and sorrow (anger) in the realms of life (in the
body).
This is simply a brief but
meaningful.
"Mindfulness and close observation of the body": This
means that the practice of mindfulness Bhikkhu close observation, the Bhikkhu
should observe a very subtle way, exactly clear. Bhikkhu observation or
insight on the body itself, not observing sensations observe human body or the
body etc .. Buddha repeated the word body, feelings, mind, approach is to
emphasize that when observing objects Bhikkhu must observe a subtle way,
exactly. When observing the body, must be diligent monk, monk
to consciously insight (awareness) and the monk must be mindful. Effort is translated
from the word "ATAPI". Usually when a text is translated into another
language, then lost a little sense. Originally ATAPI is Atapa.
Atapa means "the heat of the sun". The heat from the sun
can make things heated up. The item is sun burn will be droopy and can burn
always. Also, the effort will be heated or burned negativity.
In the
language of Pali, diligent called Atapa, and who have diligently called
ATAPI , the word "inertia" only for the owner, is there. Thus, a person with
Atapa called ATAPI . When reading the classic language
of Pali, read the word ATAPI the mental image I will have a fire is burning
diligent negativity. When translated text ATAPI or Atapa to that effort or ardent've lost image flames.
Thus,
ATAPI mean they have really good effort, not the lack of
effort. The
effort was truly mindful and conscious people wise.
When Buddha was Bodhisattva, he sat under the Bodhi
tree and wish very firmly: "Oil for dried blood, dried meat, and the body the
skin of tendon taken, we will not go away if not enlightened, we will strive
diligently to achieve the aspiration. " The diligent efforts so-called New Right
Effort. Thus, Effort want to have a brave willpower,
determination real, and courage of this effort is to burn negativity.
Signature
ATAPI include all diligent efforts that we have mentioned.
Effort
Effort here is the Noble Eightfold Path. Effort in meaningful efforts to burn
negativity, eliminating the unwholesome mental states by cultivate good mental
states. The
effort you made the effort to come here by attending a long-term course like
this. But
not only the courses are full, you must truly diligent efforts throughout the
course. Only continuous diligent effort, you can prevent and
eliminate the unwholesome mental states, cultivate good mental state.
In this
text, the word Buddha spent ATAPI to only those Bhikkhus, that is, those who see
clearly the suffering of samsara diligent effort Vipassana meditation, and
diligent effort is to burn negativity.
Lucid consciousness or
awareness
lucid consciousness or awareness is clearly seen.
Any new
entry Thera Thera mind to see a clear way. Seeing clearly see through objects, seen by
his intellect. For example, when focusing on the breath, the breath
students will see clearly. Yogis clearly very dissimilar breath to breath, and
breathing out and breathing in the other. Yogis also evident breath arises and passes
away and then only breath and breath awareness that there is something called
human, beings, men, women, nothing. A clear understanding of the so-called awakening.
When
mindfulness and clear understanding of an object, then you will understand all
aspects of the object. At first meditation, the meditator is difficult to
keep the mind on the object, the object centered on students also difficult to
find a clear breath correctly. Yogis do not see the pure breath saw something nasty
lurking, messy and murky. Later, thanks to the mind and practice development,
students will see objects more clearly one day, then you will see the birth and
death of breath etc .. Thus, awareness and the understanding is clearly not to
the right from the beginning, but will come after you have gained some practical
experience.
Want awareness and clear understanding, insight
arises, should have different conditions: It is provisional. No provisional would not
have seen clear. Concentration mind is a mental state to keep the
components of the center pillar on the subject, do not leave them scattered
outside. Provisional often described as a state of mind can
head on objects for a long time. For example, if you take the breath as an object,
then there is at the center, will center on the subject is breathing without
direction to somewhere else. At each time point were kept Tam Dinh Department
Center and its associated components, focusing on objects. Concentration collection
center to keep in close attention, not to give them directions to other places.
Concentration mind is a necessary condition to wake
or insights arise. When developing the mind, the mind does not expect
action, not disturbing dominant, quiet and tranquil, then the new center
capable, wise enough to see the truth of things tuang. Water should be left
undisturbed peace, not stirred scum we see through it. Also, more attention
dominant negativity, stirred should be calm, quiet. How often are afflicted
mind dominates, we can not see things clearly and accurately. When we have good
concentration, the negativity, obstacles are tame. When negativity does not
stir, the mind sharp, and it is time to awake and lucid consciousness arises,
and foot tuang of things will be exhibited clearly.
Please read the above passage: ...
bhikkhus observe the body in the body, ardent, aware
and mindful, remove all craving and sorrow (anger) in the realms of life (in the
body).
In the above passage we
see three factors mentioned were: ardent, aware and mindful. Although provisional not mentioned in this passage,
but we must understand that the center has been included in there. Sometimes a few words in
a sentence can be omitted, it being understood that we were in there.
Such a
hunter tracking deer footprints to know the direction of the deer; at follow-up to a flat
stone, they found no footprints deer, because deer legs unable to sign on a flat
rock. But
while crossing the rocks, the hunter saw the deer footprints. The hunter infer that
the deer had crossed the rocks and keep going. The hunter saw deer footprints in the
beginning and the end should be able to infer the middle. Also, be mindful that
the first paragraph, mindful that end, we derive in the middle. In the literature on
mindfulness placed after but actually in the practice of mindfulness is to put
right after diligent (diligence - awareness - awareness) or (effort - Insight -
clear understanding).
In the above factors
were included in it, so we have four basic elements of meditation: 'effort -
mindfulness - the mind and awakening' or 'effort - Insight - concentration and
understanding clear '. When meditating, four factors or four mental states
must operate harmoniously. But other factors also play a role very important in
meditation are: Faith. Without faith we will not meditate. Faith here is not blind
faith, but faith in the Buddha and believe in the truth of his words.
We believe
that the focus on the headings body, feelings, mind, this is not the mind is
chaotic, negativity will not dominate. And once the mind is calm and tranquil, we will see
the true nature of all things on earth, which is impermanence, suffering and
non-self. When you see the truth of things tuang then we will
all suffer. This is a true faith, a basic belief, and the belief
that this can be proved by practice. Thus, we need to have more faith because without
faith is not what can be accomplished. Therefore faith is an important factor in meditation.
Although,
in meditation faith manifest clearly that we can see, but still potentially in
faith and works in harmony with the other elements. Thus, there are five key
factors in meditation. English Pali called Indriya, translated in the right or in apartments (Tin Tan,
mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom). The Zen meditation as often mentioned in this
factor. In
this authority must operate simultaneously and harmoniously together.
Want to
meditate in a good way, we have developed five factors simultaneously and
harmoniously together. As we have said, at first the new meditation,
students may lack the discernment, but after the heart has been developing
students will see things clearly ... and five elements will operate
harmoniously. If they do not work in harmony, then what will
happen? The
answer is that we will fail, and meditation will not have good results.
When
meditating, two factors diligence and concentration are two important factors
that need to be balanced. If diligent and balance the mind, the dominant factor
than other factors, meditation will fail. Must be diligent enough, not too much nor too
little. Sometimes, we try our best because we want to achieve
something. As the desire to achieve something, we try to
attempt, but because there is too much effort to mind is agitated and restless.
Becomes
agitated and restless dominated, also lost concentration. Thus, much effort was
not good. But if little effort, why? We will be sleepy and
lazy should not be dominated by the center. Thus, the effort is not too much nor too
little. Need a thing of effort and concentration: when the
dominant factors are the other factors were declining. There is too much
effort, concentration is declining, but not enough effort, the center is also
declining. Concentration not mind too much. When the mind too much
that we become lazy, tend to want to be comfortable leisurely effort should be
decreased.
Suppose we are meditation and concentration are good.
When we do
not have good concentration diligent effort, but the mind remains on title.
Do not need
that much effort was made to ease the mind tend to loosen the effort.
As casually
as diligent effort to decrease the power that the mind becomes dull, lazy, lazy
leads to caudal, sleepy. In this case we need to promote a diligent effort to
be more diligent, focused more on the object parcel; sometimes need to
consecutive record many more topics. As many have noted several consecutive titles such
activities will center more and increase our effort to balance the
concentration.
Thus, effort and concentration must be balanced to be
nice meditation and conscious awareness or insight
development.
Sometimes there are good concentration suddenly drop
suddenly to mind. Why is that? Because we have more diligent too.
There is
one thing that students often face is nice to see that the mind immediately
tried to think more effort to do it better and better concentration and wisdom
as incurred more. But because so much more effort should be diligent
and therefore the lack of balance results go against what we
want.
Sometimes is is meditation and concentration are
good. Although the center is nice, but suddenly felt sleepy
students and down. Why is that? Because there is too much effort and
concentration to the lack of balance. If there is too much concentration needs to be done
to decrease concentration and enhanced by diligent attention to much time
strategy titles (as mentioned above).
So meditation is not easy - I do not want to
discourage you - but meditation is actually not easy. The very subtle
meditation. Just the unbalanced mental state a little alone can
destroy the mental focus that you tried setting.
In summary, five mental factors: credit,,
mindfulness, concentration and wisdom must operate simultaneously and
harmoniously. Five senses is like the parts of a an apparatus.
Each
department must operate adaptation, proper and in harmony with the other parts.
If a unit
does not operate properly, adapting the whole apparatus will be affected.
Likewise,
the elements in the army right: credit, tons, the concept, wisdom must operate
rhythmic harmony; If an element does not work properly adapted, all
these elements are disturbed, loss of balance and meditation will not achieve
good results. Therefore, each element of contingent rights need to
operate properly and harmoniously with the other
factors.
Now we have to consider the value of mindfulness.
Mindfulness
is a mental state makes harmony. Mindfulness helped diligently not become too dominant
or too down. Mindfulness helps the mind is not too much or too
little etc .. Thus, mindfulness as a factor conditioning the other factors in
meditation. That is why we say that mindfulness is always needed.
Never has
ever mindful too dominant. Mindfulness needed everywhere like salt need for
food, or as a premier talent to do it all the king assigned. Mindfulness is an
important factor in the five elements, but each element must operate in harmony
and balance with the other elements.
When the five elements operate in harmony with the
student upon awakening and awareness, the students will conquer greed and sorrow
(anger). This is the result that students gain from awareness
in meditation. Many texts translated as: after tame greed and sorrow (anger) rather than
to conquer greed and sorrow (anger). Such translation is not
correct. The purpose of meditation is to overcome greed and
sorrow (anger). If you conquer greed and sorrow (anger) then where
should meditate more. So care should be: to tame and tame (simultaneously) greed and sorrow (anger) should not
be translated after tame craving and sorrow (anger). This means that students
conquer greed and sorrow while Vipassana meditation. I want you to take note
of this. (There should be an explanation concerning the Pali
grammar, but so too should embrace that I had
omitted).
Exclude craving for
worldly sorrow and means eliminating greed and sorrow anger from objects that
students are observing. Life on earth here is on the body, feelings, mind,
law-related subjects to observe. When you see an object we can be attached to objects.
If we
object to is pretty good, we have to be attached to it, and if we object to is
bad or obnoxious we can anger, hate ... that object. Thus, negativity can
penetrate our hearts when we see, hear ... nothing.
To prevent negativity arises in the form of greed and
sorrow, we need some kind of protection, and that protection is mindfulness.
As we are
aware, there is no chance of disturbing intrusion into our minds. When we are mindful, as
we aware, and when we see objects clearly, we will know that the objects come
and go, knowing they are impermanent. Knowing them very often so we do not cling to them.
Thus, we
can avoid craving or attachment or anger and sorrow on the object through
insight meditation. Whether we use the word tame, exclusion or any other
word actually means that we have been avoided or prevented from arising
negativity, negativity did not come then we tame it or eliminate it.
The true
meaning of the exclusion is to prevent or restrain greed and sorrow arises in
our mind. However, if the craving and troubles arise, we also
take them as the object of mindfulness to eliminate
them.
When it comes to enlightenment we often say: "at the
moment of enlightenment" negativity excluded. But disturbing is excluded at this time?
Negativity
past, present or negativity negativity future? Negativity past has passed, so we do not need
to exclude; less disturbing future, so we can not do anything
about them. As current negativity, why? As disturbing presence
there can be no enlightenment. Enlightenment is a good mental state and negativity
is an unwholesome mental states. Improving mental states and unwholesome mental states
can not co-exist. Thus, afflictions are eliminated at enlightenment not
disturbing past, not the present affliction affliction nor the future.
So
disturbing are excluded here?
Actually, what is excluded at the moment of
enlightenment is not called negativity or kilesa, follow Pali. We called potential (Anusaya), which means that the possibility arises.
What is
spirituality eliminate potential or "ability to generate negativity" is.
When an
object is always to say that we have character. Example of the smoke.
Suppose you
are a smoker, but right this moment you do not smoke. But when I asked: "Do
you smoke?" You replied: "I smoke". Because you were smoking
in the past and you will attract in the future, now you do not quit.
Therefore,
even though you do not currently smoke, you still answer: "I smoke".
Also, now
present here, and I hope you do not have the mental afflictions. But after listening to
France is finished, you go out and step on sharp objects or someone pushing you
so angry. And so is negativity has arisen. Negativity arises when
conditions. Therefore, we say we have afflictions. Am I disturbing you
afflictions. Right now I am here now and you do not have
afflictions, but the potential to generate negativity remains in me and you.
Potential
or ability to generate negativity is what removes Path at enlightenment.
Actually,
there is disturbing is excluded at enlightenment. At enlightenment,
spirituality only eliminate "the ability to generate negativity" only.
The reason
that negativity can arise because there is negativity (if not disturbing, what
was disturbing problem arises again.) So, when it comes to tame or eliminate
craving and sorrow (anger ) means to avoid or prevent negativity arises.
But how to
prevent afflictions arise? The answer is: Yes Vipassana meditation. When Vipassana
meditation, we try to be diligent, we observe mindfulness, concentration, and we
see things correctly and clearly. When we see things exactly clear defilement no chance
to go into our minds. In this way, Vipassana eliminate negativity.
The
elimination or tame this negativity is just moments exclusion - exclusion by
replacing. at this moment afflictions are eliminated, but in the
next moment negativity can come. This is a very short elimination. Known is eliminated by
replacing. This means that you have excluded unwholesome mental
states by: User-friendly center facility to replace the unwholesome mental
states. You
have put in place good concomitants concomitants evil unwholesome mental states
makes no opportunity arises. Therefore, called eliminated by replacing.
The
exclusion of this lasted only a moment. This momentary affliction is excluded, but
moments later afflictions may arise again.
At the moment there Vipassana, greed and sorrow
(anger) are excluded in this way. When you are out of Vipassana and you meet some
conditions make afflictions arise, negativity will arise
again.
But a different kind of exclusion is temporarily
excluded. It is excluded by pushing away. When you push something
away, that new material would a time, not back to the old site immediately.
Such as
dirt on the water. When you push the dirt away the dirt back to the
roots is not right that will stay fresh for a while, then, dirt will slowly come
back again. The exclusion or waiver is called "temporary
exclusion" or "temporarily abandoned" or excluded by pushing away. This exclusion is
achieved through a quiet meditation and meditation to achieve the floor.
When a
person achieve the levels of meditation, he will get rid of negativity in a
while. Throughout the day afflictions can not come to them,
maybe in a week or a month not to negativity. But this exclusion is only temporary because
then back to their afflictions.
Exclude Tuesday called totally excluded. The word
Pali is called completely eliminate
samuccheda means sever. Exclude by cutting off. Like cutting off the
roots of all plants that do not grow back. Thus, completely excluded or eliminated once
all called eliminated by cutting and eliminating entirely by cutting off at the
completion of enlightenment. These afflictions are eliminated in moments of
enlightenment never return to this person again.
An Arhat has completely eliminate all negativity.
He no
longer craving, anger, no pride, no jealousy and no other types of afflictions.
Even when
he was teased for not angry. When you see an attractive material for oil anywhere,
beautiful to him nor to start up a little iota craving, clinging. He eliminated the
negativity cut off completely.
I've talked a lot about the first type of exclusion:
exclusion moment, now we learn more about the types of exclusions second
temporary exclusion.
Once you have nice meditation, you can eliminate
greed and sorrow over the object you are observing, you can eliminate greed and
sorrow on the object you are observing. Example: You are sitting cross-legged, back
straight holding hands overlap, and to pay attention to the movements of the
abdomen. At
the time of the abdominal movement is heading you are observing, and feeling his
hands are to overlap, feeling the buttocks touch the floor ... is the title you
do not observe. When negativity on moving objects in the abdomen are
excluded, the negativity on the subject at hand feeling in the buttocks are
excluded)
If you practice Vipassana meditation in a good way
you get two types of exclusion: You experience the kind of craving and sorrow on
the subject observes; That moment is excluded. And you also prevent
negativity or craving and sorrow arising on subjects not observe. It was temporarily
excluded.
Normally, the eyes, ears, nose, tongue ... My contact
with the contact object: color image, sound, smell, taste ... the craving and
aversion arises in our mind. This often happens to most people. If not practice
mindfulness on the object that we will be attached or hate that object.
Therefore,
be cautious note mindful whenever the base contact with the
ceiling.
Vipassana Meditation can only achieve first two
categories excluded, it is momentary and temporary exclusion excluded.
But
Vipassana can not be excluded third type of exclusion completely excluded.
The
complete exclusion can only be achieved by directing attention or at
enlightenment.
Life on earth
As the Buddha said: Bhikkhus ... eliminate craving
and sorrow, the life on earth do you mean by Bhikkhu ... eliminate greed and
sorrow on the object that Bhikkhu observes. The word that life on earth is over the
object is to observe. Such as in the sentence: Bhikkhu close observation of the body, ardent, aware
and mindful, remove all craving and sorrow (anger ) in the realm of life . the text
in the realm of
life here means the
body.
Craving and sorrow
Craving here means
greedy attachment, attachment, greed and other similar mental states.
Sorrow here
are not only meant only sorrow that include anger, hate, hatred, depression,
sorrow ... There are three unwholesome roots of greed, anger, ignorance.
Join and
Golf has been said here. Greed (lobha) or attachment, the first root evil,
sorrow (dosa) is the root of hatred or evil Monday. Thus, when it comes to
craving refers to all forms of lobha. and sorrow refers to all forms of Dosa. Delusion or Moha not be
said substrate here because moha very difficult to prevent or eliminate.
Thus, the
sentence must be understood thus:
For the object of life, interest and legal too (Note
that: overpower or eliminate craving and sorrow means conquer all obstacles
year, because the two factors most strongly in obstacles are involved in the
field has been mentioned, the remaining obstacles were also
mentioned.)
You know four basic or four foundations of
mindfulness is established. The reason there are four because there are four
types of objects:
1. Observe the body or body concept: Sometimes the
body does not mean that the entire physical body which is a group of elements or
components of the material. Breathing is also called the body. The other part of the
body is called the body itself ... The word here being understood that all
contact with the body.
2. Observe the life expectancy or anniversary.
Life is a
mental state. Now pain in the body and the pain we experience this
matter by our mind. In our mind there is a mental state called life.
Because
this is a pain, so the feeling is painful feeling. As the Buddha said:
Bhikkhus observation on life expectancy means that the observer on the mental
state of this life rather than concentrate on the pain. In practice we focus on
the pain the pain and mindfulness to observe the pain. In fact, the concept of
secretly recorded or "pain, pain," is that we have actually recorded
concomitants life, and this life concomitants feel the pain in my body.
Feeling of
3 categories: Fun, suffering and neutral.
3. Observe mode (mode) or in contemplation of
consciousness. Usually Pali word translated as mind but should
translate to better appreciate. Signature Citta means consciousness. In Buddhist Psychology,
the Center is composed of four elements. So what we call the mind is actually a
collection of four elements. Sometimes there is confusion between the two nouns
mind and consciousness. First take a look at the collection center of
knowledge and the elements of interest. Consciousness is defined as the perception or
sense objects. conscious or aware this is not a conscious awareness
or mindfulness. Consciousness here is only the consciousness or
awareness normal. For example, I realized someone was standing there,
though I'm looking at here. Awareness or consciousness so-called informal
(citta). at least in the Abhidhamma also called perception
alone is awake. Under normal circumstances, the official word has a
wider or narrower definition. It should be noted at this point is: We use the word
to refer to the formula (citta), but this does not translate correctly. Consciousness is defined
as an element or component of interest, and the interest component of the duty
conscious or aware of the object. Only when there is a new object identification
exposure (exposure) to the object, the object perceived, like objects, not like
objects etc .. Thus, the support center for informal basis, but as well as the
components of interest. Thus, the first center is divided into two
components: Food and mental states. Contact, feeling, perception, attention, likes,
dislikes ... called mental states (the factors). By law, there are 52
wonderful and the 52 mental concomitants were divided into three groups: the
life, thought and action. Thus, when we add life to your group, thought this
out, we will have four components of interest: Life, Thought, Action and
Consciousness. Each center received when objects are four components
arise once.
Buddha with supreme wisdom can analyze and identify
each mental state is a subtle way clear to them at the same time object
recognition. This is a wonderful thing.
While meditation and anxiety arises we noted:
"Anxiety, Anxiety", which means that at that time we have a formula associated
with anxiety. This is an observation on the "official".
As we
noted: "angry, angry," then we are observing in the
formula.
4. Observe the French in France: Dhamma (France) is a
Pali word translation is very difficult or difficult to translate correctly.
Depending
on the circumstances, the word Dhamma is used with a different meaning.
I can not
use a fixed-letter word for it because to do so would Dhamma wrong. Dhamma is used in doing
the Great Mindfulness is simply to just: Five obstacles, gather in groups, six
bases, six ceiling, the seven enlightenment, the four noble truths. French word used to
refer to the concept of legal measures just above it. Thus, should leave the
word Dhamma, do not care, and take out the word Dhamma according to each case,
each passage. Much care is Dhamma 'subjects of interest' or 'object
of interest'. But either way, this service is not
satisfactory.
Now let's learn how to observe on legal measures.
If you
focus on the hatred that you observe on legal measures. Here, again I repeat:
France does not mean teaching or anything else. Seeing something and you
pay attention to the ones in which you are observing on legal measures.
Thus, the
legal title to observe very broad include: Five obstacles, gather in groups, six
bases, six ceiling, the seven enlightenment, the four noble truths. If we care about the
Dhamma is the object of attention means taking interest to observe the object is
not quite right because there are many objects not mind (like the ceiling:
picture color, smell, taste ...) . If translated as "object of interest" means covering
all subjects and objects do. Both mind and body are the object. So what concepts can
also be referred to as the legal concept. Because the Dhamma can not be translated word
for precision, so leave them alone Pali word, do not
care.
I've told you that not practice the four basic
mindfulness order written in the book, do not try to find out whether we are
observing what areas of mindfulness: close observation, observing life, bar
observe the mind or the law. If we're trying to see how this kind of mindfulness,
the center will be disappointed. As a student, you must observe expenses recognized in
current section; no need to find out what kind of title: body,
feelings, mind or nothing approach. Oil headings whatever, your duty is to be mindful
recorded from craving, attachment or anger, sorrow over the object you are
observing this.
In order against greed and sorrow (anger) you have to
pay attention to the effort. You do not have enough time to find out if this is
the legal mind or is something else. When you have insight meditation practice on all four
basic mindfulness each one as they occur. How long do you concentrate on the object of
the present is you are doing, and good practice of meditation. Meditation is not a good
idea when you pull away, you forgot to meditate for a few seconds or a few
minutes. But as long as you are aware that you did the right
thing and meditation are progressing well.
Have students think that if they do not mind being on
the main topics that they do not meditate. Sometimes they say: "Oh, I have noted a waste
of time to go elsewhere mind, and I do not have much time to pay attention to
the title." Oil you focus on the main headings or sub-headings,
that does not matter; as long as you pay attention to them is that you are
doing.
The first important thing in Vipassana meditation is
to focus on the object of mindfulness is happening in the present. Sometimes you are
forgetfulness, you take the title this forgetfulness and recorded "Lost, Lost"
or "forgetfulness, forgetfulness" and then return to the main headings.
You must
always be mindful at all times, in all places, and if you can keep constant
mindfulness, attention parcel on the title, you will progress quickly and will
begin to see the essence of things; which means you'll be heading birth and death.
When
students see things kill you also see things are impermanent. When you see things very
often you see the essence of the animal suffering and selfless nature or that
you can not control or control them; they arise and fall freely according to their wishes,
we can not control them. When you see how you have seen three general nature
of all conditioned things, the legal conditions. Seeing the nature of
impermanence, suffering and egolessness of things is the goal, or the essence of
Vipassana. If you practice Vipassana meditation you should see
three properties because the word Vipassana (Insight) means that seen in many
ways. And
find meaning in different ways to see things in the light of impermanence,
suffering, and in the light of the light of non-self. It is important, and the
goal of Vipassana meditation is to see three properties, and to see the three
properties we must observe, track title in the present. Want to focus on current
topics you need to be diligent. No effort can not achieve good results. That is why the Buddha
taught: There must be diligent, enlightened consciousness and mindfulness in
insight meditation. When we can practice the full, complete these
conditions - diligence, mindfulness, mindfulness - and concentration, we can
conquer greed and sorrow on the object we are observing
.
This is a summary of
economic Mindfulness Great, great sermon on the basis of mindfulness.
If you
master this summary I believe that you will understand how the Vipassana and
understand how to practice. There are many other detailed instructions for
meditation, I hope you are familiar with these
instructions.
Wish you practice
according to the instructions diligently, mindfulness, awareness to be able to
overpower every craving and sorrow anger life on earth. 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.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.31/1/2015.
