The opening paragraph of Mahasatipatthana O monks, this is the only way to purification of beings, terminate, sorrow, pain and grief away, reaching the Noble, and the realization of Nibbana, which is the four foundations of mindfulness. What four: O monks, where the monk lives contemplating the body in the body, ardent, alert, mindful to overcome covetousness in life. A monk living consistent feeling, ardent, alert, mindful to overcome covetousness in life. A monk living care in mind, ardent, alert, mindful to overcome covetousness in life. A monk living customary law on legal, ardent, alert, mindful to overcome covetousness in life. Above passage is taken from one of the texts of the Buddha called "Four Foundations of Mindfulness," In the Pali language, this business is "Mahasatipatthana Sutta" Mahasatipatthana. But the beginning, this passage has summarized the essence of the whole texts. The Buddha himself practiced and recognized the benefits that will bring to the practitioner. Then he encouraged the monks monk and his disciples practice the four foundations of mindfulness, and during 45 years of spreading the Dhamma, the Buddha always mentioned, adduce and emphasize the importance of Beijing Four Foundations of Mindfulness. After Buddha attained Nirvana, the practices were collected and recorded in the Pali Tripitaka. Those who practice the four foundations of mindfulness or Vipassana Meditation must understand clearly and precisely this passage. Indeed, all teaching lessons, meditation advice method of Vipassana courses are based on economic Mahasatipatthana. So in order to reap the full benefits, the yogis practiced Vipassana should read and clearly understand, comprehend this important texts. Four objects of mindfulness based According to the Sutta, the four objects of mindfulness. Four subjects was as follows: 1) Body The word "body" in the Sutta not only means that the entire physical body, but also means a group of the physical part. It covers the different parts of the body, or everything related to the physical body. For example, breathing and called relatives. 2) Feelings "Feeling" is? Feeling is a state mental states of mind. There are three things sensations - touch pleasant, unpleasant and neutral. Take the pain, for example. We experience physical pain in my mind. So when there is physical pain, the mind feels pain. In the Sutta Buddha "monk contemplates feeling," means that the monk is consistent sensation. While the practice of mindfulness, when we experience pain, we must (right) with the concept of feeling pain in the body. 3) Food Pali of the formula as "Citta". "Citta" is often translated as "heart". But I think "form" is the literal translation than literal mind. However, even translated as "informal," it is still not an exact translation word meaning "Citta." Consciousness "is defined as awareness of an object. Only when there is awareness of a new object can be said that there is a contact with the object, sense objects, favorite subjects, preferred not object, so, so ... But group mental states depending on the formula. They are also the element of interest. Many times there is confusion between the terms "center" and "informal". In Buddhist psychology, the mind is composed of four groups of mental states, consciousness is one such group, and three other mental states (sensations, thoughts karmic formations) As defined above, the formula is the knowing subject. The awareness here unlike the awareness in meditation. It is just a mere awareness. For example, I am aware of someone, though I'm looking at this place. The awareness is called consciousness. At least the awareness that is called consciousness in Abhidhamma. Another example, when we meditate, we say "sorrow, suffering"; I have an awareness (or consciousness) accompanied by sorrow. It was an informal anniversary. When I say, "angry, angry," we are also mindful of consciousness. The other concomitants include contact center, feelings, volitional, focused, like, dislike, and so and so ... According to Abhidhamma, with all fifty-two mental states, and fifty-two mental states are grouped into three main groups - sensations, feeling, perception and volitional. 4) France The word "Dhamma" in Pali Pali is a very difficult language to translate the true sense. This term has different meanings in each case. Here I would like introduce the word "France is the object" (dhamma objects). If you are concentrating or contemplating on anger, you are customary law. Here dhamma does not mean the teachings or the teachings of the Buddha. If you see something and you thought the show, that's what you're French conception. Here France is the object of mindfulness as France hindrances, the five aggregates, the twelve bases, the seven Enlightenment or the Four Noble Truths. France's object is very deep contemplation. In all of this, all the object of mindfulness are called French conception. Therefore Leave noun Dhamma to avoid confusion. You can not translate the word "Dhamma" a word of English, so you will be wrong. Often the object Dhamma translated as "mind object" Vietnamese as "mind object" or "mental object" Vietnamese is "mind object". But if each of these services is not satisfactory so. If translated as "mind object", the other objects are not "interested", why? If we translate it as "mind objects" are all objects that are listed in the economic foundations of mindfulness are the object of the mind? "Body" is the object of the mind? For I can not translate this word Dhamma in sectors adequately and appropriately, it is better to use the word Pali itself is Dhamma should not be translated into English (or translated into Vietnamese). The meaning of the phrase "the only way" ekayano In Pali, the sutra begins with the sentence "ekayano", "the only way." Pali, this word consists of two parts, "eka" and "ayana". "Eka" means "one," or oneness, and "ayana" means "the way", "road" or "path." "Ekayano" literally "a path." A the only path there is no way cheap, no branches. Only one way and if you embark on this road you will surely get there. No deviations mistake on this road. A different wording of "ekayano" is the way that individuals choosing to go it alone. Which means you've chosen to go on this road, you go alone alone, you will not have general travel companion. Despite progress or no progress, all by your own capabilities . And a third wording word "ekdyano" is "The Way of The One." "The One" here means the Buddha. Buddha is perfect perfection in humanity, and He is called The One. He was the one who discovered and taught the Four Foundations of Mindfulness Meditation Satipatthana so-called "Path of The One." This is the only way The first sentence in the translation business is: "Behold His monks, this is the only way leading to the purification (center) beings ... it is the forty origin. The main business at the beginning of the Buddha stated, "This is the only way." Four Foundations of Mindfulness is one the only way leading to the purification of beings. But the details of the Noble Eightfold Path is the path to the purification of beings? Please answer is that these factors Eightfold Path will be ineffective without mindfulness. So when it comes to awareness, the seven factors of the Noble Eightfold Path is also mentioned. There is no other way? Westerners often ask: "Why did the Buddha said:" This is the only way "? There is no other way to lead to the purification of beings? They argue that there are other avenues that we can go to to a town or city. If there are many roads leading to the city of course have many different methods which one can follow to purify or to reach nirvana. You should remember that there are many comparison is not quite right or appropriate. Yes, there are many roads leading to a town or city. It is said that the road is only a means for us to go to a city. Although there are many roads which lead to the town, but also the means which are still roads. Likewise, although there are many different ways to practice mindfulness. but common regulations such methods are practice mindfulness. Only mindfulness can lead us to the realization of Nibbana. We need to exercise to the muscles are stiff and sloping hunt. Thus, if you want to give the muscles are sloping, you must exercise. But exercise also has many different ways, such as weight lifting or using machinery tools etc ... Likewise, only mindfulness take beings to enlightenment Nirvana, but mindfulness practiced different forms. In the Sutta, the Buddha taught that mindfulness practice in 21 different ways. There are 21 ways to practice mindfulness that we choose. But whatever you choose, in the end it is still the practice of mindfulness, that's more important than just mindfulness is a method of purification of beings. In the Dhammapada (274) - Buddha clearly says more about mindfulness, "Only the righteous, but no other method to purify the mind." The Buddha emphasized this affirmations, so So we have to accept that mindfulness is the only path leading to the purification of beings . Mindfulness is the protection center Mindfulness is like a guard. When the guard was moved to another location, then the doors of the senses are not protected. Only when there is the presence of mindfulness at the gates of the senses, the mind newly clean. The mental state unwholesome afflictions will not penetrate our minds because mindfully kept at the gates of the senses. Only when mindfulness is lost, or when we are less mindful, there are all sorts of afflictions arise. Only mindfulness to keep the mind clean. It should be noted, mindful here only a part of the Noble Eightfold Path. The object of mindfulness Mindfulness on many subjects - mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of consciousness, awareness in France. Practicing mindfulness is a unique method for the purification of beings. The importance of the purification of Why the emphasis on the mind? Buddha always emphasized the importance of mental purification. This does not mean that we can neglect the hygiene and preserving the health of the body. But more important is the heart of our purification. The cleanliness of how important body? In annotations say personal hygiene or the cleanliness of the body as well as the cleanliness of the accommodation is extremely important because they are needed to assist in the attainment of wisdom and arise . We need to keep our bodies clean and care for a decent place to meditate neat. The implication here is that when we do not neglect the body maintain clean, we should be even more vigilant in making pure heart. The benefits reaped the practice of mindfulness? 1. "Purification of mind" In the Buddha tells the benefits that we reap the practice of mindfulness. The first benefit is the purification of 2. Termination of worries and frustrations mourn The second benefit is the cessation of sorrow and mourning frustrations. Here worries that state of mind. Frustrations expressed in wailing. 3. Eliminating pain and grief Pain here just about body pain. Sorrow here only in the mind of sorrow, depression, malice, hatred. Practicing mindfulness helps us to overcome the suffering and grief and make it disappear. But you can not win the pain (in the body) or can not completely destroy it completely, you can also live with the pain and accept it if you practice mindfulness. Your mind will not be disturbed or bothered by the pain in the body. When your mind is not perturbed by the physical pain, the pain is not present. The mind can not but note at the same time more than one object. Heart can only begin once an object only. Thanks to this characteristic use of the mind, we will eradicate negativity when we practice mindfulness. Get the anger, for example. Suppose I am angry Mr A. When our mind is on Mr. A, my anger will increase more and more we're more angry with him for taking him as the object of our mind. But when we listen to the angry, instead of Mr. A, then He will no longer exist in the meantime. Even while I listen to the angry and when the angle source of anger (Mr A) no longer exists, anger too will disappear. In the same way we should care center with mindfulness, mindfulness a simple but powerful. We must use powerful mindfulness for treatment with emotions like anger, hatred craving, depression, and sorrow. As with the mentality arises, we only remember mindfulness and mind. When mindfulness is really strong, disturbing mental states will disappear. So Buddha said, "This is the only way to go beyond the sorrow, pain and grief destroy the world." 4. This is the only way to reach the Noble Path a) The meaning of "road." or "Path Consciousness". When you read books on Buddhism, you will see the word "Path" very often. Sometimes it is written with the letter "p" small, but often the word is spelled with a capital "P" .Chu path or the "Act" is a term that refers to the group of eight elements of the Noble Eightfold Path - Right Understanding , right thought, so, so ... they arise simultaneously with enlightened mind. Mind is the same general type arises with these factors is called "Path Consciousness." b) The meaning of the word "enlightenment" The word "enlightenment" is a very important word that means different of it is also very difficult to understand. People use this word freely, but only a few people really understand what it means new entirety. This word for many people and for many religions, the different meanings. Thus, the meaning of the word "enlightenment" for a Buddhist very different for "enlightenment" of a Christian. So when we talk about enlightenment, we should first define it to be clear. For Buddhism, "enlightenment" means the elimination of negativity and enlightenment Nirvana, Nirvana found and identified simultaneously. As a practitioner of Vipassana and progress from one stage to another stage, to a higher floor, the result of the diligent meditation, for a moment, a kind of consciousness arises in the mind which acts authors have never experienced before. Concomitants of consciousness with other mental states so vigorously they can completely destroy the contamination and pollution never have arisen in the mind. At the same time it takes Nibbana consciousness as object. So, what we mean by "enlightenment" that is the mind arises even in that moment or even in that moment - the moment arises the consciousness which eradicates all defilements and takes Nibbana as object. That consciousness is called "Path Consciousness." Soon "Dao Tam" arises, with two or three "Performance Center" along arises. You must understand Abhidhamma can understand this issue. But to put it simply, reaching the Noble Path is a way to be enlightened. When you reach the Noble Path, you become enlightened, and you can eliminate the pollution in the mind and then take Nibbana as object. 5. This is the only way to realize Nibbana This means the same thing to reach the Noble Path. When a person reaches the sublime and the Dao Dao Consciousness arises in the mind of the practitioner and the mind that takes Nibbana as object he had reached nirvana. So, reaching the Noble Path and realization of Nibbana have the same meaning. Buddha taught that the practice of mindfulness practice means Satipatthana is toxic Nhut method to go beyond sorrow, pain and grief away, reaching the Noble Path and realization of Nibbana. The meaning of the four foundations of mindfulness? Two important word here is "origin" or "foundation" (translated from the word "foundation") and "mindfulness." Before we talk about the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, one should understand "mindfulness" is. But we practice mindfulness for years, when asked "What is mindfulness" can not be answered in a satisfactory manner. a. The meaning of "sati" "Mindfulness" is translated from the Pali word "sati". This discourse is called Kinh Mindfulness (Satipatthana.) "Sati" is translated as "mindfulness." Perhaps no word is more correct English word for it. The literal meaning of "sati" means "remember." But actually covers more than "mind." According to the source language to split, "sati" means "remember" but when in normal usage "sati" contain much more meaning. "Sati", as defined in the Glossary as "mind" and contains its characteristics as "not superficial" "not floating on the surface." If it is true that it is not fake sati, but it goes deeper into the object. That is why I always say "sati" means implies "knowing fully object," or "insight audience knowing." "Sati" also means there is no loss of function objects. When there is mindfulness, we do not lose the object, the object will not forget. Mindfulness is not superficial knowledge, but a deep knowledge and thorough an object. b. The meaning of "Laying the foundation of mindfulness" (translated from "foundations of mindfulness) Now let us consider the "foundation of mindfulness." It means "arrangement" foundation of mindfulness or "firmly established mindfulness" or "mindfulness is firmly established." Satipaṭṭhāna Pali is translated as "foundations of mindfulness t T able" but in fact it means "setting a firm mindfulness" or "establish a strong mindfulness." On the subject. c. Four Foundations of Mindfulness Practice In the Sutta, the Buddha taught that there are four subjects to lay the foundation of mindfulness When you practice Vipassana you must practice mindfulness in all four subjects, but when you practice mindfulness practice a Order free from this object before or after this object in the order of business written. Because when you practice Vipassana you must be mindful of the object arises in the present moment. Subjects in the present moment can be one of four subjects - have sometimes the body, sometimes it is the feeling, sometimes it is the mind, sometimes it is France. You must be mindful of the object as soon as they come because you have no choice. That's why Vipassana is called "the awareness (mindfulness) not selected. (Choiceless awareness). Meaning you do not have a choice, you just have to take what mindfulness is presented to you. Mindfulness four objects you do not follow a particular order, object arises, you just mindfulness, that is how Vipassana. "Behold His monks, where the monk lives contemplating the body in the body, ardent, alert and mindful to overcome covetousness in my life." This sentence has much significance, Master will start analyzing its meaning in detail as follows: Four Objects What is mindfulness? Four Foundations of Mindfulness are: 1) (Right) Mindfulness body in the body 2) (Right) Mindfulness on life expectancy 3) (Right) Mindfulness on heart center 4) (Right) This thought-out law You have to practice mindfulness like? In the opening paragraph of Mahasatipatthana Sutta, the Buddha taught that in every contemplation on, you have ardent, diligent, right mindfulness, and right mindfulness to overcome covetousness in life. 1. "Contemplating the body in the body" When practicing mindfulness of the body, he monk or layman's practice is for exactly this concept. Mindfulness meditators only body in the body alone, he does not contemplate the feeling on the body or on the human body ... In order to have a clear audience repeated the words Buddha body in the body, feeling, mind on center, on the legal measures in the verse. That means he is extremely accurate in mindfulness of the body, feelings, mind, legal. When the practice of mindfulness, ardent meditator, mindfulness and mindfulness. 2. We must be in practice The word "essential need" is not the literal translation of the Pali word "atapi" When a word from this language is translated into another language, how we lose something more meaningful. The word "atapi" derived from the Pali word "atapa". "Atapa" means "the heat of the sun." I know that the sun can heat the material until the material becomes droopy and he may even be burned. Likewise the effort that the practitioner applies to the meditation heated and burned all mental afflictions. Who have ardent atapa is called "atapi", the letter "i" indicates the master. "Atapi 'who have tried in the meditation, do not be neglectful. Who really tried to be mindful and to clearly comprehend. When prayers in Pali and the word "atapi" one should understand that the word actually means it. We have to see our effort burning afflictions. 3. Be more diligent When Buddha was a bodhisattva, he sat under the Bodhi tree to meditate to become a Buddha, he vows strong in mind "even though only skin, tendon, bone, flesh and blood even dry I decided never stop or give up any extraordinary efforts until we attain Buddhahood. I will try diligently to achieve the purpose. "The effort was called Effort. For Effort you must have really a lot of effort, not just a superficial effort. The effort here also the Effort, one of the eight factors of the Noble Eightfold Path. Right effort means the effort to eliminate or avoid any kindness, and to cultivate and reap kindness. Want to fight the evil state of mind, you need to have the effort. If you no effort you can not fight the evil. Similarly, you should have tried really powerful to practice the Foundations of Mindfulness. 4. Awareness Awareness means seeing clearly. Objects which put mindfulness meditators he sees it clearly. "Obviously," What does it mean? Retired means exhaustive see shows with intellectual smoothly. When a yogi breath, he sees a clear breath. He sees a clear breath to distinguish the breath out, and see the breath clearly distinguish the breath in. He also sees that the breath arises and see it destroyed. Retired only see the breath and the awareness of breath, nothing else that normally is for a man or a being. This understanding is called "mindfulness." When you have the awareness of something, you know that thing and all its occupants. Also according to the teachings of the Buddha you know that only the observed and the mind that observes it, moreover there is nothing called a person or an individual, man, woman. Seeing things like that is called mindfulness. This awareness will come to you after a period of practice, not to the right when you first start meditating. As a beginner in meditation you can not see clearly breath. Having seen the breath when mixed together and very vague. But gradually, with the development of concentration and progress in practice, you will see objects clearly growing more and see where all the arising and passing of breath, so, so ... So the This clear moment arises not start meditating, but only after a while you get experience. Want awareness arises, we need one more element in the business although there was no mention. We need concentration. Without concentration, mindfulness will not arise. 5. We must develop concentration What is concentration? Concentration is a mental factor for other mental hold on an object and not let us run into other objects. Concentration is a kind of mental state may be above the object a long time. For example, take the breath as an object, your concentration is always on your breath and do not mind wander elsewhere. At every moment, the mind and the heart to keep the mind squarely on the object. This concentration is necessary for awareness arises. Without concentration, you do not expect to see things clearly and do not expect there to be awareness. When we achieve concentration, our mind calms down and becomes quiet. This is when we begin to see things. It's like dirty or muddy water in a pond. When there is dirt or mud in our country will not see the bottom of the pond. But when the dirt or mud settles down and the water becomes clear we can see through the water. Similarly, mind is like muddy or dirty water because it contains dirt or contamination. When our minds are poisoned by the pollution did not see things clearly rang.Ta to suppress or let these mental impurities deposited sink before we can see things clearly. But this pollution called obstacles in mind When we develop concentration, we will be able to suppress the temporary barrier on one side. When these obstacles are overcome, the mind will become clear in the morning. When that awareness or understanding of the true everything will arise. Although the concept of concentration is not mentioned in the Sutra of mindfulness, one should understand the necessity of mind is implied in trading because without concentration we can not arise awareness. Teacher for a simple example as follows. A huntsman was chasing a deer. He found a flat rock and see the footprints of deer in two opposite sides of the rock, but not above the plane of the surrounding rock or boulder. Due to this observation, he infers that the deer had walked on the flat surface of the stone to go from one side to the other. Which means he sees the beginning and the end, and infers the middle means deer to run across rocks. Likewise, mindful as well as in the beginning, and awakening in the last paragraph. In between is concentration because without concentration we will not have awareness. Four basic things necessary concomitants How many mental states which are essential for the practice of mindfulness meditation, which I have mentioned? Having all four and they coalesced into the four mental states are fundamental and essential in the practice of mindfulness. It is ardent, alert, and mindful. Four mental states are elements of mindfulness meditation. When we practice meditation, four mental states to work together and in harmony. But also a mental factor not been raised again here, that is faith. We must have faith Faith or belief is also an important factor in meditation because if we do not have trust in the Buddha's teachings will not practice the Buddha's teachings. Without trust there will not have immediate success in anything they do. In Buddhism, there is no blind faith. Does not mean we do not have faith. I have faith or trust in the Buddha's teachings and believe Ngai.Ta if close attention to the subject of the Sutta, we will see the true nature of this object - are impermanent, they lead to suffering and we selflessness. Faith is a significant mental meditation, though it did not operate actively mindfulness meditation, it is still present and working harmoniously with the other factors. So if we add in the element of faith that our mental states have discussed above, we now have five mental states they are called the five-door, Pali is indriyas (Tin base, Tan base, Mindfulness based, the root, root Tue.) The teacher when guiding retreats usually prefer to teach about these five factors. These five factors must work simultaneously and harmoniously with each other if we want to have a nice meditation. If they do not work in harmony with each other then we are lost. Balance between effort and concentration When we practice meditation, the balance between effort and concentration are important. If they are not balanced, meaning that if one of them so much we will experience many difficulties in practice. We must be just enough, not too much and not too little. I diligently lot too because I was eager to achieve something. As a result, we lose. So do not bring too much effort for our benefit. Conversely, what happens if there is little effort? We become sleepy, lazy, can not concentrate and can not meditate. So we must be diligent enough neither too much nor too little. When too much effort, the concentration again less. If too little effort, the concentration will not have enough of losing balance. Suppose you meditate and you get good concentration. After further concentration will reduce the effort, we will become lazy or sleepy. When this happens, you should try to focus more and more mindful. Sometimes you have to focus on other subjects and concentrate on each individual object. Effort and concentration must be balanced so the practitioner can help good meditation and awareness arises. Yes when you are meditating with good concentration you may suddenly lose concentration. Why? One reason may be that you put in too much effort. Do desired better meditation, we attempt too much. The result will be the opposite of what we want. Sometimes during meditation you get good concentration and concentration is good although you feel sleepy or asleep. Why is that? Probably you have too much to heart. You should reduce concentration and increase your effort. So, meditation is not easy. Master does not want to discourage you but the truth is that meditation is not easy. It's very subtle. Just a little off-balance of the mind may also lose the attention that you have painstakingly built up with much effort. So in concomitants or five factors listed above should work in parallel and in harmony. The practice of meditation as well as a machine. There are many parts in a machine and each part must work fit together exactly. If one part does not work, the whole machine is not running. Likewise, if an element of mind is not working correctly, the whole practice of meditation will lose balance. So five factors must be present and working correctly and in harmony. Value of Mindfulness Now let's think seriously test the value of mindfulness. Mindfulness is a mental factor with executive functions. Mindfulness keeps our effort and mindfulness are not too high and not make excessive concentration etc ... So mindfulness is an operating center in the five senses during meditation. Mindfulness extremely necessary. Never say that there is so much awareness. Mindfulness is extremely necessary in every moment like salt is an essential seasoning for cooking, or as a Prime Minister who does all the tasks for a king. Although mindfulness is an important center in the five senses, but other mental continuum is also very important and this center to work equally accurate and balanced with each other. Craving 1. Tame covetousness and grief in the world When the five senses to work accurately and balance arises practitioner awareness? So what is the result? The result was beyond or tame greed and hatred in doi.Tri clear comprehension arises as a result of diligent practice. Here, when translated into English, this translation has meant that its shortcomings. Usually translated as has been beyond or have been tamed covetousness and grief in the world. I questioned the practice of meditation to do? Practice mindfulness to do? Practice meditation or meditation is to eliminate covetousness and grief in the world. Craving means of attachment and aversion is the malice, resentment etc ... Practice Vipassana or Satipatthana is to "get out and conquer" craving and aversion. Because the purpose on which we practice mindfulness. But if we have achieved our purpose then do not have to practice meditation. To be precise, here we should translate it as "tame covetousness and grief in the world" is "tame greed and anger are arising in life, and not be translated " had arisen " . In other words, " are overcome covetousness in life, more precisely, new " has overcome covetousness in the world (more translators here for more understandable). I want you to pay attention to this point. (Here should be used to teach Pali grammar definition will be clearer, but because it would be too to ignore here.) Beyond covetousness and grief in the world means shun greed or attachment, anger or malice, for those that meditators are mindfulness. Inscriptions of the "dwell" means the pollution "underground army" on the object body, feelings, mind and legal. When we see something and cling to that object. If we conclude that it is beautiful, or better, I'll cling to that object. Conversely, we may arise anger or hatred and so, so ... if we give that object is ugly or disgusting. So afflictions may arise in our minds when we experience something. 2. The deeper meaning of "craving". When Buddha taught that "to overcome covetousness in life," means the practitioner prevent craving precaution not to anger arises in objects that meditators are mindfulness. Here lust or craving covering all pollutants such as grasping, greedy, craving, and similar states of mind like that, and sorrow means sorrow, anger, envy, sorrow , sorrow etc ... There are three sources of immoral activities, such as greed, hatred and delusion. In three such immoral activities, two are mentioned here. Craving is the first center, which is attachment, Pali is "lobha" anger Monday called "dosa". Craving means included in lobha, and anger that include the dosa. Si Pali is "moha" not been included here because moha "si" very difficult to prevent and destroy. Therefore the Buddha taught the monks to put diligent mindfulness, mental development and wisdom when he practices mindfulness body in the body to overcome covetousness and not let them arise. This method is also applicable when one contemplation on feelings, mind and France. Protecting prevent pollution arises center To prevent the pollution of the mind arises, we need to protect the interest method. That protection is mindfulness. When we are mindful, pollution does not have a chance to arise in our mind. When we are mindful, as we'll see alert all things clearly, we know that they come and go, they are impermanent. We also clearly understand that we should not cling to them. So we can avoid covetousness, clinging, anger or hatred towards the object by the practice of mindfulness. When I say "beyond" or "eradicate" actually we are avoiding or preventing pollution arises. Does not mean that we go beyond or eradicate once they arise. Its precise meaning is to prevent craving and not let anger arise in our mind. If we do not concentrate on that object, then surely craving or aversion arise. These mental states can arise, but in time we are mindful we can prevent them from arising. Prevent them from arising in mind is what is meant by "pollution beyond." (But if they arise, then we make them the object of mindfulness to eradicate them.) When we talk about enlightenment, we often use the phrase 'in moments of enlightenment "of pollution would be destroyed. The center will be contaminated in the meantime destroyed? Current, past or future? The past is over, we do not need to do anything to destroy them. As for the future of our pollution arises not not do anything. And now? If contamination is present, it will not have the feeling ngo.Tai stars? Because enlightened mind and a pure heart is polluted in sach.Tam mind pure and impure mind will not coexist. We do not coexist. So the defilements that are said to be destroyed during the Enlightenment was not in the past, or the future, or in the present. 1 . These pollutants are destroyed? To tell the truth exactly, those cells are destroyed for no known pollution or kilesas in Pali.Chung called " latent "or anusayas in Pali. "Anusayas potential means to arise. Which destroy the enlightened mind that is the potential (latent.) For example, smokers. Suppose you are a person smokes. Right now you can not smoke. Supposing if I ask you "do you smoke it? And you pay, "Yes Master, I do." That means you have smokers in the past, and you will smoke in the future. Bottom line is you can not quit smoking. Even though you do not smoke within the time now, you answer, "I can smoke." Likewise, in the very moment, let us say that there is no contamination in the mind and you do not have in mind for your umbrella. But after this talk, you go on and you step on something sharp or have someone pushing you, so that you are angry. This pollution occasion arises because it has conditions to arise. The potential major pollution arise this will be destroyed by the enlightened mind. 2. How to prevent pollution arises? The pollution is eradicated in moments of enlightenment is nothing more than the latent potential that may arise. When they arise, they are already there. Similarly there, say beyond covetousness and grief means avoiding or preventing them from arising in the mind. In what way? By practicing mindfulness. If we make effort, and if we apply mindfulness and if we have concentration, we will see things clearly. If we see things clearly, then the contamination will not have a chance to arise. It is said that the practice of Vipassana or mindfulness practice to eliminate negativity. The elimination of pollution, Is not this the permanently eradicate it? The elimination of this pollution is only a temporary nature since it is only a temporary replacement only. Just a moment later they returned. It only lasts a short time only. The elimination of these is called the elimination by substitution. Mean you abandon the unwholesome mental states by substituting the moral consciousness. When there is a good presence of mind would not have the presence of mind immoral. You put wholesome mental states in the place, the negative mental mind there is no room to arise. The elimination of this pollution is called the elimination by substitution. But the state of mind that exists only in a short time only. Just moments after the return of pollution. When practicing Vipassana craving and aversion are destroyed by it. When you meditate and you run out of the favorable conditions for the pollution arise, they will arise again. 1. Eliminating temporary pollution There is an elimination of pollution known as "temporary." It is the abandonment by pushing away. When you push something aside, it may stay there for a while, or it does not come back soon, like plants floating on the water. If you push them away, it may stay away for some time, but gradually it will come back in the old place. The eradication of this call is the temporary elimination. This mental state is reached when one is in the heart of joys. When practitioners have experienced joys and joys, one can repel the pollution in the mind for a while. Maybe they will not come back in mind for the whole day or maybe a week or a month, but eventually they will come back in the meditator's mind. 2. Eliminating comprehensive pollution The elimination of pollution Tuesday called comprehensive eradication. Pali called "samuccheda" = cut off, ie, removal of the cut. If you cut the root of a tree, it will not grow back. The total removal called removal by cutting off. A comprehensive anti-pollution that is achieved at the moment of enlightenment. The pollution is eradicated while enlightenment is comprehensive and we will never return to the heart of the practitioner. 3. Who has eradicated all defilements? Only the Arhat was completely eradicate all pollution. He has no attachment, no anger, no pride, no jealousy or other unwholesome states of mind. Even if he is provoked, he did not even get angry. Even if he looks anything attractive or good, he did not feel any attachment or desire for that object. These levels were completely destroyed by pollution cut off all of his mental defilements. 4, Eliminating temporary pollution by Vipassana The things that we encounter can also cause a craving or hatred in my heart. If we do not concentrate on the thing, we may develop attachment or hatred towards that object. This happened for the majority of us. If you Vipassana nice and you have the experience to avoid covetousness and hatred for the observed, you can also prevent the arising of things that you do not observe. It is called "temporary cessation of pollution by Vipassana." Vipassana Vipassana can achieve two destruction negativity, that is the elimination of every interval or eradicate moment, and the temporary elimination. But Vipassana can not achieve destroy such third defilement is the comprehensive elimination, the elimination of this can only be done when enlightenment or Path Consciousness. Many practitioners think that if they do not concentrate on the main object they do not practice properly. Sometimes they say, "Well, I have to spend time or waste time tracking mind going here and there and we did not so much time to concentrate on the main object." Any you concentrate on the main object or object side, when you have mindfulness, ie you are doing fine. You're actually meditating or practicing Vipassana. What is important in Vipassana is first to concentrate on the object of the present moment when you forget tai.Co mindful and you should take this as an object so forget your mindfulness. Now you mindful of this "forgotten" and bring the main object of interest. Mindfulness leads to the realization of the truth of impermanence You must always be aware. If you can keep a positive mindfulness, you will progress quickly and you will begin to see the true nature of all things. Only then will you begin to see things arising and passing away. When you see and kill living beings, you will see them very often, you'll see their suffering nature and characteristics of our selfless. You'll notice that you do not control them, and they arise and disappear according to their free will. When you see things "as is", you have the ability to clearly see three general characteristics of all conditioned compounded. Seeing the three characteristics of impermanence, suffering, selflessness of compounded, which is essence of Vipassana. If you practice Vipassana you must see these three characteristics, because the word "Vipassana" means "to see things in different ways," see things in different ways means seeing the light of impermanence, suffering, and selflessness. The importance of the practice of Vipassana is to see these three characteristics, and to be seen three characteristics we need to observe, we need to watch very clearly and pay attention to the object of the present moment . Want to pay attention to the object of the present moment we need more effort or diligence. Without the diligent efforts will not achieve anything valuable. So Buddha said that ardent, alert and mindful. When we practice and apply on the mental meditation and more concentration, can we get out of craving and aversion towards the objects we observe mindfulness. The message Above Master preached briefly very important texts of the Buddha, that is economic Mahasatipatthana Maha Satipatthana Sutta. If you understand what I have said above, I think you have a firm grasp of how the practice of mindfulness. You also understand the method how to meditate. It is important that you have to follow these instructions with the diligence and apply mindfulness to see things your way is clear. - END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGTHFOLD PATH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/6/2015.
