Ly Pratītyasamutpāda Freed .

   LY pratītyasamutpāda liberation described the psychology of meditation, that is, what happens during the meditation practitioners are experienced from the beginning until the end.

LDKG has close contact with the famous pratītyasamutpāda tenets in Buddhism. For those who are not yet familiar with the word of the Buddha, LY pratītyasamutpāda is a chain of cause and effect factor of twelve connected together. The last element in the chain of causation is suffering. Because is a chain of causation, it allows us to see the suffering incurred. The first elements of the twelve human charm is ignorance-without the ability to see the world as it is, and it really works. As such, beginning with ignorance, this factor leads to the following elements, always so suffering. So, show me only pratītyasamutpāda is suffering the consequences of ignorance.

This is the way that the Buddha has explained why there is suffering. But the Buddha also preach about a causal chain that led to the escape. The chain of causation is called "pratītyasamutpāda liberation" (SN12:23). LDKG started with a gauge-in other words, it started in the last element of pratītyasamutpāda-and, through the twelve causal factors in other connections, it only shows you how to go to ultimate liberation.

Prospects of ending the suffering is an extremely positive message. Sometimes people say Buddhism pessimistic-just saw it comes to suffering – but this is totally the opposite. The Buddha said that thanks to the suffering that we can go smoothly until the liberation from the suffering.

Let's browse through the twelve elements of the LDKG chain. The first factor is suffering (dukkha). Here not only want to mention the fact that his suffering but also want for ourselves are aware of the problem. Only when you understand the problem you have is to find workarounds. One part is to understand the normal suffering problems in daily life. But the more important thing is to see the huge range of suffering. This understanding began to arise when the meditation becomes deeper, and you begin to see yourself and the world in a different way. But especially the idea of rebirth-especially when you see yourself-will make you understand the true scope of the problem.

Buddhism tells you is there a solution to this problem. Once you understand is having problems and getting to know there is a Dhamma can guide you to find the solution, you will have faith (saddha, credibility, credibility) with the Dhamma. This is the second factor.

Something worth noting in the Buddha as it only shows you the solution in a completely different place than what you thought. Normally, in my lifetime, we think that the solution to the suffering will be found in the relationship, friends, of material wealth, status, authority, respect, praise, etc.-things which in Buddhism is called "legal world" (lokadhammā, AN8:6). People often think the answer to suffering is located there. But then the Buddha to come and tell you that you've been looking in the right place, that no solution was found in a different place.

This discovery of Buddha truth is transcendental. It gives you the feel, Yes, it is true that the solution must be somewhere else, because already know how times have you tried to find happiness through the legal world that you still suffering as often. In a certain sense, this is the tragedy of the people: we always want to be happy, but often we find no place. So, instead, we himself the suffering. When you understand that there are problems and know there is a doctrine that promises you the practical solution, the trust will start up. You realize that there is something special in the words of this teaching.

Faith is a beautiful thing. You feel safe because you get a catechism to show you the solutions that help you escape. As mentioned in many articles, one does not have faith, there is no refuge, like a person crossing the desert. Unless that person find the way through, that person will eventually not be able to fight with the power of nature-hot sun, lack of water, all the problems in the desert. But people have the confidence, the same as a person who has crossed from the desert (MN39).

Therefore the belief in Buddhism is very important. Sometimes people think it is not really important beliefs and just learn, study the view that right or wrong is enough. Of course, research, learn key points in Buddhism. However, when strong beliefs, it will become a strength; promote you go on the road and help you in the right direction. This is a core qualities that we need to bring transparency to the spiritual journey. Moreover, when the trust was in place, all the remaining elements will follow as a natural consequence. It became fully self complacency because each element is the charm for the following factors that arise, each stage one, until you are fully enlightened.

The direct result of belief is joyfully (pāmojja), the third element of the string LDKG. Joy comes from the discovery was that something that was precious. You have to find out is for the true meaning of life and you feel this is the words of instruction. The relationship between faith and joyful is described in many places in the Scriptures. For example, one of the important business visualizations France's ideas about "Buddha", "Grace Grace Germany France" and "German" Grace. Rejoice in the mind because of the boots will contemplate is set on the awareness of the value of the teachings in Buddhism. This is called atthaveda and dhammaveda, inspired in the meaning and inspiration in France. Great inspiration arise like "pāmojja" that we are talking about here. So rejoice with inspiration and this is the result of the belief (AN6:10)

Once pāmojja born run, the highway itself will continue to unfold. It is so because joyfully makes you recite and capacity. Have the capacity and then sit down to meditate, you will have the ability to keep the item and you will progress steadily. Practice results. Sometimes it seems hard to grasp why meditating at, at, and this is the reason why. Meditation nice when you feel joy and excitement will come along with the notion and capacity. So, the rest of the highway is mostly an automatic process. It is a process of meditating leads you each go through a stage of enlightenment. This is the heart of the process of LDKG.

So this process occur? You sat down, watched the breath, it's easy. When to meditate grow, Hy (pīti) started to run up in you. This is the fourth element of the chain of cause and effect. When to meditate more progress, subsidence and loving you giảc feel tranquility (passaddhi, contempt), the fifth element. This quietness, when developed, will become a chronic feeling of deep nguỵên and tribe (sukha), the sixth element. And then, this leads to the Center of the plan (samādhi), the seventh element, this is when the level of meditation become truly strong. When the mind out of the defined status, you will have a profound understanding and correct perspective as the truth (yathā-bhūta-ñāṇa-dassana, voter opinion as legs). This is the eighth factors. Because of samādhi overcome the obstacle (the constant)-the mind pollution prevented you see properly the truth-now, for the first time you clearly see everything.

To see things in the right way, you will see suffering closely connected with the present. You will want to quit (nibbidā, cynical cups) all. This is the ninth factor. You realize that you must escape the reincarnation wheel. Quit leads to boring (virāga, glass took part), the tenth factor. Virāga is the cessation of desire, craving, thirst as a counterpoint to the wrecked world. And when the passionately desires, disappear, you are freed (vimutti), eleventh element. When freed, you will also have the voters comments that you have been freed (khaye ñāṇaṃ) Here is the twelfth element and is the last element of the string LDKG. So, this is how from suffering leads to liberation.

To have a deeper look on LDKG, I want to consider the starting point of the string from a different perspective. I want to focus on the first few steps of the sequence, because make right this very important steps. If you make the right decisions early, the remaining steps will follow as a natural process.

This profound perspective can be gained by considering a common interpretation of common LDKG in some articles (for example AN11:3). This interpretation, instead of beginning by suffering and faith, beginning with the world happy. Happy world makes me not regret (avipaṭisāra), and do not regret arose joyfully, pāmojja. And the rest, then mostly like the herds.

So then this operation? Thrilled arises from happy world belongs to nature spirituality and not related to the pleasure of the senses. There is joy because there is a nice heart. The jubilation that always associated with celebration and energy. When happy, mind you there are a natural source of energy, the energy comes from the good sense and positive. And you have the anniversary because of the spiritual joy that makes fun of the current moment.

In the saw up again several times that meditation began with the anniversary. When you read what the Buddha preaching about breathing in trading post tracking contemplation breathing (Ānāpānasati Sutta, MN118), when you read the Scriptures teach Buddha Satipaṭṭhāna about four of mantras (MN10), you will recognize the anniversary as the first condition for meditation. If no, you will not be able to meditate properly. Understanding this is very important. Not enough notion is the main reason why the vast majority of people could not reach the status of profound meditation.

Because the magnitude of the importance of the anniversary, you need to learn how to assess the intensity of the anniversary and know I've had enough awareness to meditate. Ask yourself "am I really know? I have here in the present? I have to go around all over the place? I got all mixed up disorder? I have seen clearly what's going on? " If you are relatively peaceful and you have clear sense-though still a little thought but not so much-it was at that meditation really effective.

Because there cannot be proper meditation if not there, because it is the platform should you need to build a solid it for real, you need to know how to clear concepts. Anniversary is a topic "fashion" of Western psychology for many years. Usually the discussion revolves around about the anniversary will help you overcome the problem of how the qualities of what is the anniversary, how can measure by science, etc But one thing often see the absence of a meaningful discussion about the causes that led to ballooning. To understand the cause to meditate is to understand how to get.

People often think that if you use the power of the will, if you try hard, you will have. But if you mind affected by negativity, then whatever you try to could not recite it. Anniversary not just keep quiet or trying hard – like not enough. You have to prepare the mind to meditate.

So, what is a notion taken to cause ? In a variation of LDKG, before elements pāmojja (rejoice)-as I said, come along with anniversary-is the no regrets. No regrets from World-Ethics, kindness and care. Here, regrets not only means to feel worse because of the lack of a moral. It includes all that has adverse effects on the heart by his behaviour. When the mind tired, foolish, insecurity, negative, or similar status, usually as a result of these acts not enough clean. As such, remorse here include all those obstacles do the impossible for you to feel joy, natural pleasure in mind. This means that the notion of gender is taken to the cause, and if none, then happy anniversary will be too weak for meditating. Therefore, if your meditation not goes to where or not progressing, you need to consider his view can do something to improve the world's.

In Buddhism, the concept of happy world are vast. Of course it includes world happy about right action-nice, avoid the bad action. It also includes the world's nice words-say things, not say bad things. For the vast majority, the Cabinet only in this area also has lots of things to do. One important thing to remember, is not happy about avoid making bad that have to work for the charity. So, in life, you go to work, let's say the words, do the little things. When do so you are building a beautiful mind. And this will be a powerful support for the meditation.

But let the celebration be firmly set, about to come on and happy enough. You also need the happy world of the mind. At first when the happy world of practice and password through end, mind you is still polluted. To deal with the pollution, you need to work with the mind in any way so you can change the way of thinking. Sometimes we tell this is hard to do, but with full determination and durability criteria then anyone can do it. And this is essential in order for your meditation can develop.

The most important afflictions have to overcome is the anger in all its general shape, including the discomfort and the negative status (AN3:68). Anger is a State of mind that make up a lot of suffering for us and for those around us. If we are really serious about the spiritual path, then this field is that we really need to pay attention to. To fix the yard, we have to wonder how I can change the way you look about the world around us. Can any other way of looking at making the negative status not starting up? You will see that if we slide show consistent effort difficult, over time you will gradually change-you will start to see things in a new way; you will start to look at the world a way of compassion and kindness. When anger, irritability and negativity began to lessen, you will feel that I have become a better person, in cleaner. Fantastic when observed this happening within yourself. Gradually, you change; you transform yourself into a different person.

People often think that the power of the will is the way to solve the negative mind State. They think they can compel them to cute, they can crush the anger, crushed the negative. And sometimes when you see the reader seems to be the same. You read that you need to "destroy" the State of mind of the negative, "remove", "destroy" them. Word can be very powerful and very easy to think that articles like to allude to "strength" or power. But in fact the Buddha want to say the best way to overcome the negative state is to use wisdom (MN19).

Use wisdom is wondering whether the pitch will lead you to. If you are thinking about this, you will see it always leads to suffering, to yourself and others (MN19). It leads to suffering to yourself because when we compare will find anger is pain compared to the State of mind peace. It leads to misery for others because when the yard we tend to harm others jamming. Moreover, you create any goodwill career when you pitch, especially if you act because of anger. You yourself cause unhappiness for himself right in this life and the hereafter. As such, negative personality created a whole chain reaction with nasty results, and sorrow. Remind you like. Let's ponder frequently on this. Anger, negativity, hurt-it's dangerous areas; It will truly lead to suffering for you and for those around us. The more powerful perception of how much, that this is a real problem, then you have the ability to turn your back on it.

When the awareness of the dangers of anger becomes firmly and clearly, it becomes an effective means of developing the mind. When a thought of the golf started pullulate, you simply start up awareness of the danger is this pitch ideas will disappear. The intelligence of this work for you. But remember that to build the intellect needed a lot of time, as almost all the jobs on the spiritual path. It's really not that hard but need to have the determination and perseverance. Eventually you will see the dangers more clearly. The more you understand how much you are capable to overcome anger every time it boots up. Also so that the Buddha use as "destroy", "remove", "genocide" to describe the overcoming of this ideology. These words do not refer to the power of the will which says to a much more effective means, which means wisdom. Wisdom, when developed, will cut these things-just like it "destroy" the negative mind State. They will simply disappear. Please continue consistent projection about the dangers of anger in all forms. Eventually you will have a useful means to cultivate.

One other negative consequences of anger is that it ruined the intellect (MN19). Wisdom is one of the most important spiritual qualities. Political wisdom has made you understand the difference between happiness and suffering, more importantly, understand the differences between the causes of happiness and the causes of suffering. Wisdom helps us to solve the problems of life.

The Buddha speaks wisdom kill is a consequence of the mind state of real (paññānirodhika, MN19). Considering the magnitude of the intellectual's critical affordable, that is not reason enough to abandon and destroy the mind state of real charity? Compare when you are angry and when you don't. Let's look at the difference. You will notice that when the pitch angry, you can't see the world clearly. You do not understand what is right, where is the left-all things become reversed, distorted by anger. See it destroying the wisdom how. Consistent projection of this very effectively.

A Buddha from the other screening advice is look angry pitch to mind how (MN19). Let's ponder whether you feel how his mind when the pitch angry than when peace. it's a great difference! When the pitch angry you burning inside. Why you want the pitch angry when a selection is not the pitch angry?

The projector is one of the aspects of dread filled the Dhamma and is also the most effective to you through the mind state of real charity. If you want to change your way of thinking, wisdom is the path, not the power of the will.

With time, when opening with a new human, you'll find your pollution reduced, the problems in your life, and less pāmojja -joy-gradually increased in the mind. Joy comes from the purity, from the fact that you've become a better person. And when pāmojja become more powerful, the anniversary also more powerful. The pollution of the mind were prevented from celebration really becomes a spiritual power. The more pollution reduction, anniversary. If you can relieve the obstruction in the daily practice, you'll see each time you go meditate for several days, you can keep track of things that you can't keep track.

When you track the breath that is not enough, you have a tendency to go around all over the place. You don't master the mind-instead, you haul pollution circles. But once the anniversary present, you will feel you master yourself. And because you have the feeling of autonomy, you can direct his attention on breathing or on anything you want to focus on. In saying that the Memorial be built properly is a strength (SN50:1). Therefore, very important.

Because the gender arises from the notion, especially about Hanh's mind, should endeavor to overcome negative tendencies of the mind is very important. Sometimes very difficult, because of the tendency and habit of often have deep-rooted. Need to have the determination and perseverance to change the way you look at things, the way you act. But gradually over the years, you will see a change in you. Once you change your meditation, become net security and more deep. It's great to know you guys when meditation starts to evolve, when you can keep the audience meditate and see real progress. When the anniversary has become the anniversary, with the wedding Festival in mind, you just sit down, tracking the breath and meditation will in itself progress.

When meditating place automatically, you do not need to power. All what you need to do is just sit there, or know, and follow the breath. Because you, the track is natural and easy, no need to the power of the will. Each moment passed, meditate more and more powerful at become, and become more profound. All what you need to do is only present in it.

To a point in this process, pīti, Hy, began to arise. Pīti is a feeling of joy. usually manifested through strong physical component. It can be experienced as the wave of hazelnut peanut run through throughout the torso. In fact, it is only the increased intensity of jubilation had been before. What we perceive here is the beginnings of pure pleasure of mind, spiritual happiness. After the meditation session, we should ponder on the nature of these feelings, try it with other fun things ch t. You will realize that pīti is the result of the mind, especially the absence of anger and a strong craving. This purity is a result of the practice about Hanh. Intuitively, you know that's a sense of goodwill. And also feel very pleasant. You know I was on the right track and you need to develop this further.

You continue to follow the breath. Gradually, the "interesting" aspects of pīti began to settle down and you experience a feeling of tranquility more deeply, passaddhi (contempt). When the stillness into further depth, you will experience a profound sense of peace of happiness, sukha (tribe). With each step, meditation become more beautiful and more powerful. At this point you feel completely satisfied that the mind does not want to go anywhere else. This is the start of the samādhi (default). Again, all this completely self-it happens. You just sat there watched the whole process unfolds.

Samādhi as for, the ability to easily focus on an object, whether it is the breath, light in the mind or anything. At this moment, very strong mind; it is associated with objects that do not fluctuate. You let the samādhi of development until the year the slopes that completely excluded, and the brilliance of mind totally focused. This process culminated when the reach the jhanas (the meditation-na).

After you exit the samādhi, mind you the bright and strong. Thanks for the this morning in which you know and see things exactly as it is, yathā-bhūta-ñāṇa-dassana (tri comments as legs). See things as it is only able to do after the samādhi, because only with samādhi that exclusion of the slopes of the new ones that are sustainable (MN68). This is one of the main reasons why the jhanas convenient for seeing the work as it is.

As I said at the beginning, the root of suffering is because of my wrong understanding of the workings of the real world. I see happiness in misery. I see a self though that never had this. I think everything will live even though it could disappear at any time. By seeing things as it is, we will rectify the distorted perception, ignorance or delusion, the root causes of the problem.

So when we eliminate obstacles with samādhi, ignorance gets weaker and erosion. Because ignorance is the first factor of pratītyasamutpāda, each element then, including suffering are all affected by the strength of your ignorance. Like mean ignorance as weak as the unfortunate suffering, both for now and tomorrow.

Look at the world as it really is and to understand the whole of the suffering in the world, it goes to how, indeed is one incredible day. The Buddha said the same as you being airtight in a casing, suddenly shells cracked hot out, you see the world for the first time (MN53). Like you were covered by darkness and suddenly someone turn on the lights (MN36).

See France entirely will make for you a whole new perspective on life. Because you see the whole issue, you realize that there is no escape from the sufferings of the present secular and boring you all. It is nibbida (cynical ly), the denial of everything, because you see the misery going to like.

When you are bored of it all, there's nothing to cling to, desire to become impossible. That explains join, viraga. Because all is suffering, you discharge and you never can desire anything else. When you realize that finding happiness is frivolous, the craving will terminate. It's freeing, vimutti. Finally you are freed, freed from all the problems of the present. And you have the tri is being freed. You reach the maximum happiness possible. That's what the leader of the Buddha promised for you.

It's very intensive Thuy. Although the teachings of this seems difficult to reach, but I believe, full understanding of the whole map is very important, to know all things that lead to, to glimpse a profound aspects of the Dhamma of the Buddha. According to my experience, the glimpse of this very rewarding, it motivates us to continue on the path of cultivation.

But in fact, the most important of LDKG is it just me seeing the success on the path of Buddha tu, success in meditation, depending on the purity of the behavior, for the pure of heart for us. Only when you can minimize pollution of the mind, is the most angry, negative, and remove rough aspect of craving, then the new meditation practice can start. This is a process and store each step on the path to leadership provides a reward. If you want to truly satisfied and happy then this is the only way.
