THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.

We are familiar with the Noble Eightfold Path, but in fact, the Pāḷi term is the Aṭṭhaṅikikāga or the Noble Eightfold Path; They all point to the Truth of the Path to Dukkha Nirodhamaggasacca, that is, the Path. It has 8 parts: sammādiṭṭhi, sammāsankappa, sammāvāca, sammākammanta, sammā-jīva, sammāvāyāma, sammāsati, , Right Concentration (sammāsamādhi).

In the sense that  "samma"  is righteousness, righteousness; That means when practicing, we have to choose, delineated to avoid falling into the bad, the evil, the evil, the wrong? Thus, we also know that there are eight evil paths, wrongly called opposite the wrong Dao: wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi), wrong thinking (micchāsaṅkappa), wrong language (micchāváca), wrong business (micchākammanta) Ta network (micchā-ājīva), delicate (micchāvāyāma), Ta contemplation (micchāsati), Tai (micchāsamādhi).

Thus, by default, the word  "micchā"  means bad, is wrong, is evil - and that sense has become  "default" in the teachings, as well as today! And the word  "samma"  above also falls into the default meaning, is right, is right, is the foot?

"In the afternoon, drinking tea in front of the porch, looking over the hill, I saw a cloud of misty winds, winding gently between the groves of green trees and slowly scattered to the high forest ... I Being serene in the fog, I suddenly heard the 'gecko, gecko' behind the wall made me 'awake'. Ồ! The big geckos are brought back from Ban Me Thuot! "

The scene I just saw, listening to it is what is happening, they are  "real"  is arising through the eyes, through the ears that everyone has experienced, experience. At that time, the hearing, the hearing is the main, the feet, or not right, not feet? Actually, when I see, hear the scene, I am in a state of letting go, in other words, then, according to Abhidhamma - there is no greed, greed, (unwholesome). Again, the object is also a natural object, normal - called "very smallobject  " can not affect, to control our mind to arise in the field, love, hate. Then what is heard is the Right View or Right View?

Actually,  "sammā"  has many other meanings that Chinese, Vietnamese not speak out. "Samma" not only means righteousness, righteousness, but also righteousness, righteousness, appropriateness, holiness, holiness ... that is, Anyhow, capture it completely like that, do not put mixed feelings and subjective thoughts on her.

And  "micchā"?  Micchā not only means evil, evil, evil, evil ... but also means separation, separation, separation, division, division, division, opposite, opposite , contrary to "samma" anymore.

At this point, I understood why the Eightfold Noble Eightfold Path, then called the Noble Eightfold Path. Turns out, in terms of continuity, while practicing is called the Noble Eightfold Path; Having been practicing solidly, beginning to go to the supramundane path is called the Noble Eightfold Path.

And so, when the Eightfold Path is on the property side, still birth y (birth and dependency), on earth; When calling the Noble Eightfold Path is in the unconditioned, no longer born y, the emergence.

1. Right view (samma-diṭṭhi).

Scattered in the Central Business, Lord Buddha and Sariputta sutras on the concept of Right View, content is quite long but we can summarize condensed as follows:

- See clearly (intellectual tri) good and evil ...

- See the root of good and the root of akusala

- See the root of good is non-greed, no yard, no delusion and the root of akusala is greed, anger and delusion.

- Seeing the true nature of the mind, things, the world, the world is conditioned, impermanent, not self.

In short, it is necessary to see the Five Aggregates, the Twelvefold Causality, and the Four Noble Truths.

These are the definitions of  "classics"  that seem to learn the Buddha, every Buddhist understand, well know. However, the  "see"  above, what to see? Eye? By eye, only see the  "general"  of the object, the scene - but how to see right, wrong, right, evil, good, evil, causal birth of selfless? Well, it turns out there is the participation of consciousness, perception, thought and even  "intellectual property"  ! Also,  "diṭṭhi" does  not just mean "see";  It has so many meanings: trust, trust; is dogma, doctrine; is the view, is the theory, the doctrine; is thought, thought, study ...

It turns out, when  "seeing"  is the whole body of seeing, that is, the whole operation of the six sense bases, the sixfold sense and the sixfold sense; And that fact, it is as follows:

- Eye see real true identity (it stars and found it so, just as it is ...): Chief  is

- Headset sound like real (as above): Chief  writer

- Nose smell as real (as above): Right  eye

- tongue tasted like real (as above): right  eye

- Body touch as real (as above): Right  eye

- Italy know as real (as above): Chief  tri

Abstract is Right  is,  the district  office,  district  discipline,  district  voters;  Compact is  the Chief  Knowledge  or  Right .

However, it is not easy for Buddhists, Buddhists, to have righteous thoughts, because there are many inner gases, which accumulate from innumerable karmas. Rise, dominate the look, see. Again, in today's society, due to many traditions, due to local culture or lack of foundation for humanity, humanity, the god religion and doctrines, false doctrine makes people no longer Keep the look clear, pristine, virgin  (1)  as the above definition. Therefore, in terms of the world, when practicing, we just need to alienate, eliminate the wrong view is to have this right view.

Wrong view is wrong, see the deviation, see the side, see one side, see one side, see the split, see split the fragment; can not see the feet, the real, the whole, the whole of reality. As the story of the five blind elephants, everyone is correct, right from the point of view of their locality, but not to the "real-at-all-elephant-elephant"! However, the new deviant but such action has not yet helped. He sees all that evil, but the evil is true, the truth; And then to protect, develop that deviant perspective, is the wrong view. And here are some wrong views and evil dust that poison the world:

- The view that giving, giving or doing good for society, human life is the work of the fool.

- The view that, there is no result of good karma, bad karma in this life.

- The view that grace, kindness, meaning, something to parents, spouses, children is just a presentation, is the drama of human life.

- The view, that there is no causal, reincarnation reincarnation nothing, it is just illusory smoke or illusion of religion, the belief of the early consciousness.

- The view that anything is possible, anything is not; There are just, no, no, no no!

- The view that death is no end, nothing, sand dust returned to dust.

- The view that, without this life, there is no good, there is no good heaven, hell, no cause and effect and no moral moral in the world.

- The view that there is a soul, a self is always constant, unchanging, reincarnated from one life to the other.

- The view that all monks from the past have not attained, not see, not enlightened anything. Absolutely no saints in this world. Arhat and Buddha are just fictional characters, myths.

Thus, these wrong views have poisoned the world, making the world ruined, desolate, ruined, ruined. It burns, burns morality, humanity, humanity, and other spiritual values. In addition, scattered in the classics, there are also so-called compassion, disturbed ants, wilderness ants, desert ants, crazy ants, forest ants ... are all relatives with wrong views. so

Buddhists must turn the wrong view into the correct one, the one

tilted by the see the foot, the local see with the full sight. However, just to see all wrong view, disgust, horrified by all the above wrong views, then we start to the field of Right View. From here, from the right foot, right view, look at yourself and the world, observe, insight it to see all the combinations, the impermanent hypothesis; clearly see the true nature of all the law; To this place, this Right View is synonymous with wisdom.

Right Thought (sammāsankappa).

From sankappa, everyone has been translated thinking (thinking); However, depending on the context, context, which sankappa also means meaning, thoughts, intentions, purpose, purpose ... So, we also have to understand that right thought the right foot, the right foot, the right foot, the right foot and the right foot.

In such a broad sense, if Right View is the elimination of wrong view, then Right Thought excludes three minds of thought, or akusalavitakka.

"Vitakka"  is Games, is search; However, similar to sankappa, it has the same field of thought, thought, reflection, reflection.

So, want to have Right Thinking, Buddhist practitioners must know away the three unwholesome range:

- Kāmavitakka: Search, think, think, think, think - seek to satisfy the lust through the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body. When we are immersed in our desire, desire, and lead, we can create akusala kamma.

- Golf Course (byāpādavitakka): Meet the objects I hate, jealousy, hate; Encountering unfavorable situations, our minds are as deep in thoughts, thoughts ... resentment, dissatisfaction, anger, anger.

- Vihi Games (vihiС "savitakka): From the above level if not clearly seen (intellectual tri), the mind is burned, can lead to thinking, thinking about tactics, tricks evil to harm others.

People with Right View, add Right Thinking, will take  "thinking ly"  to counter  "education",take  "thinking ly"  to counter  "yard"  and get  "thinking" harmless "  to counter  " harm ":

2.1- Narcissistic thinking (nekkhammakāmavitakka):

The state of mind as aspirations, craving sensuality at intermingling with the  "seeing",  it will fire the fire, it will deflect the wrong direction, to deflect the wrong way of thinking through the body of the sentence should be. Thinking about sexuality to counter sexuality.

This means that the object of the five faculties (color, bar, incense, taste, exposure), subject to  "great"  (2),  stimulates, affects us, it is dependent on the mind of love. Immediately it should end, keep (world) or stay away, to distance it - that is called thinking sexual.

2.2- thinking glass pitch (nekkhammabyādavitakka):

The state of mind like hot temper, irritability, resentment, dissatisfaction, dislike - if not seen, it will lead to anger, anger, expression through body language to create akusala kamma. So, we have to keep up, keep, find ways to distance it, to distance it, that is called thinking glass - also known as thinking in the yard. According to Abhidhamma, the yard is synonymous with metta (mettā), so nourishing the mind is also the way to counter the mind.

2.3- Harmful thinking (nekkhammavihisavitakka):

The dosa mind is often like a fire, if it is not extinguished, it will be like a lunatic melancholy day and night to become a nuisance (domanassa-superior). If this annoyance does not cool down it will increase the level that turns into optimism (paṭighā-hate). And if the resentment is born evil, violent ... capable of destroying the object without holding back. Being aware of such a danger - harming yourself, harming people, harming both - so we have to cultivate the mind of the harm.

If the metta (mettā) extinguishes the center of the field - the karuṇā will quench the mind; In other words, cultivating compassion is already a distraction.

These are the ordinary progressions of ordinary human mind that have not been practiced yet; In other words, when right view is not properly implemented, the light of insight is not lit, the darkness of ignorance immediately. But when there is Right Understanding, righteousness, right - then it passes to Right Thought right away. And, of course, this Right Thought will cover, internal thinking, sexuality, thinking and harming thinking!

Everyone knows that thoughts and thoughts lead the way. Thought, mind high, fresh, people become gentle, noble. Thought, bad thoughts evil, lowly people become poor, low. Thought, mind can nourish, uphold the world that thoughts, thoughts can ruin, destroy the world.

Thus, the person with Right Thought always rejected the idea of ​​worldly desire, selfishness, clinging to wealth, property, fame, talent; On the contrary, nourishing the altruistic, compassionate, and noble thoughts - and that is the true meaning of the word "nekkhamma" - leaving home, leaving, is thinking thoughts, lusts (nekkhammakāmavitakka so. Secondly, we have to reject, refuse, nekkhamma thoughts, thoughts, thoughts bring harmful sprouts, that is malicious, hate hate, angry - nourish the good quality, the beautiful, the cool - it is the good, the good, the good, the good and the highest is the mind, it is able to calm the mind, Direct confrontation with the mind, called the thinking glass (nekkhammabyādavitakka). Also, if the center of the yard, The fire is smoldering, the heart is burning fire burned people, things immediately. Thus, the third quality of Right Thought is to reject, leave thoughts of cruelty, cruelty, hatred, violence, and nurture the thoughts of love, compassion, for life - is thinking of harm "(nekkhammavihi savitakka) so.

Right Speech (sammāvāca).

If there is Right Understanding, there is Right Thought, and thereafter there will be Right Speech. However, it is the level of the sage, of the practitioners who are on the path of supramundane existence or of those who have the highest level.

We are the Buddha, Buddhist; Again, due to greed, negativity always impacted deflection and thinking right feet; Therefore, it is necessary to go step by step, sequentially in order to get the complete speech.

Out of the four negative karma:

- Do not lie, say the truth

- Do not say embroidered words, say no, do not say yes, say slander, slander people.

- Do not say sour spicy, evil, scolded, libelous, rough, rude ...

- Do not talk nonsense, vain, empty, frivolous, vulgar, ungainly ...

In addition, the ways spoken as sting, say weaving flowers embroidered flowers, say sweet as sugar, like honey, speak culture, style ... we should also avoid.

3.2- Casting, nursing, practice saying good things, good:

After leaving four negative karmas, Buddhists must practice the words, sayings, the purpose speaks to the good, the good to cherish the seeds of good in the heart:

- Should talk about generosity, morality, meditation.

Talk about love, compassion, altruism to the community, society.

Should talk about four immeasurable.

Talk about faith, reason, good, good.

Should talk about the cover, share with the unfortunate.

Should talk about the right mind, Right view to eliminate false, wrong view ...

Should talk about wisdom to help us train wisdom, develop the ability to comprehend the truth.

3.3- Go to Right Speech:

From step 1 to step 2, our mind has matured with goodness; It has the ability to make thinking and ants more clear. From here, it is easy to enter the Right Speech.

We need to know that:

- The soft words, love, soft, friendly ... easy to hear, easy to please people - it is called "fine language".

- The words are good, good intentions bring joy, benefit to others on the path, the upper direction - is called "good language."

- The words y on the truth, true to the truth, are called "legends".

If words are good, lack of legs and good will become the form of cheating, treat, flute, lie people; is a colorful paper flower without the fragrance. Words have legs, good that no American said no one hears, not to reassure, to be human. Words are good, aesthetics without legs to build the castle on the sand, the boat goes no direction. Words that have legs, fine without good will not bring good things to the world.

The foot must be seen as the "body", the root - good American is "general", branches and flowers.

So, a full-blown speech must be full of good-naturedness, full of generality.

Right Action (sammākammanta).

Kamma is karma, is action. So, Right Action is right action, righteousness.

When the insight is clear, the insight, the mind is evil, the darkness of the material, attachment, selfishness, temper, anger, evil, malicious, brutal ... are pushed back, alienated - is full of both ideas and thoughts. In other words, vocabulary and karma are also adjusted from the mind of the mind. Vocabulary or speech industry has turned into Right Speech, the business also turned into Chief Right.

Righteous people who understand the avoidance of killing, theft, misconduct. However, do not stop there. The body of the stupid is not only killing, stealing, mischief but also satisfying the body, worry for the body to eat delicious, wear nice, sleep well, toned body, slave body for life. The body of the human mind is different. When they have righteous thoughts, they eat and drink in moderation, sleep in moderation, in every need of the body, live a simple life, wealth. They are not only far away, distant, away from killing, stealing, mischief ... but also using the body to help people in distress, sick, handicapped, unhappy. The body knows to shoulder the hard work that helps fellow practitioners, their families, relatives, friends, and the social community. Do not know how much is the mirror of the Bodhisattva scattered in the birth of the story has died, sacrificing oneself for others, for the lower classes. And so on the path of practice, the dust of selfish, ego, greed and greed gradually fall out - the Buddhist do not regret a drop of sweat, a drop of blood to others with more strength or life. Today is also bright on the network, there are people volunteer death to leave the body for the laboratory. Someone dives into the river to save the drowning. Someone rushed to the fire to save the victim. There are blood donors, donated marrow, donated the retina, donated spleen, kidney donation ... for others need to live. Oh, turns out, when the idea of ​​distance, far away evil, also know the distance away from evil evil; to the body, it becomes useful for society, the pants. The dust of selfish, ego, greed and greed are gradually falling away - Buddhist students do not regret a drop of sweat, a drop of blood to others with more strength or life. Today is also bright on the network, there are people volunteer death to leave the body for the laboratory. Someone dives into the river to save the drowning. Someone rushed to the fire to save the victim. There are blood donors, donated marrow, donated the retina, donated spleen, kidney donation ... for others need to live. Oh, turns out, when the idea of ​​distance, far away evil, also know the distance away from evil evil; to the body, it becomes useful for society, the pants. The dust of selfish, ego, greed and greed are gradually falling away - Buddhist students do not regret a drop of sweat, a drop of blood to others with more strength or life. Today is also bright on the network, there are people volunteer death to leave the body for the laboratory. Someone dives into the river to save the drowning. Someone rushed to the fire to save the victim. There are blood donors, donated marrow, donated the retina, donated spleen, kidney donation ... for others need to live. Oh, turns out, when the idea of ​​distance, far away evil, also know the distance away from evil evil; to the body, it becomes useful for society, the pants. Today is also bright on the network, there are people volunteer death to leave the body for the laboratory. Someone dives into the river to save the drowning. Someone rushed to the fire to save the victim. There are blood donors, donated marrow, donated the retina, donated spleen, kidney donation ... for others need to live. Oh, turns out, when the idea of ​​distance, far away evil, also know the distance away from evil evil; to the body, it becomes useful for society, the pants. Today is also bright on the network, there are people volunteer death to leave the body for the laboratory. Someone dives into the river to save the drowning. Someone rushed to the fire to save the victim. There are blood donors, donated marrow, donated the retina, donated spleen, kidney donation ... for others need to live. Oh, turns out, when the idea of ​​distance, far away evil, also know the distance away from evil evil; to the body, it becomes useful for society, the pants.

Oh! Cao is the Chief of the Karma in this life!

5-Right Wing (sammā-ājīva).

Ījīva is the raising of life, the birth of life. Right Livelihood is to live righteously, away from the professions that are harmful to oneself and others, other beings.

Buddhists follow the path of Bat Chanh, after having ants, thinking, language, karma clean, but living in the middle of life need to eat food, clothing, houses cover the sunshine and the benefits. necessary for all living facilities. They have to work, to feed themselves and their families. However, between the realms full of greed, anger, robbery, fraud, intrigue ... the choice of career to live in the right foot is not easy.

It seems that the more developed the society, the more comfortable the living; How many needs to meet, satisfied? Therefore, everyone to work on the job to make money, any job, free money is. There are those who make money regardless of morality, morality. There are those who make money despite the tricky, tricky tricks. Some people make money to lose humanity. There are those who make money do not indulge in prison, prison. Someone making money does not count on the lives of others. There are people who make money regardless of cruel, brutal ... See the situation of moral and human welfare downgrade, so bad, surely the gentle, the conscientious will not follow the path of crime to make money, they will choose the relatively harmless careers in life to keep their minds and hands clean. Not from now on,

- Butcher's job, animal slaughter.

- Trade in weapons, explosives, sword damage.

- Trafficking in human beings, slaves or animals for slaughter.

- Trading in poisonous and toxic chemicals.

- Trade in alcohol, narcotics (like current drugs).

If you want to stay away from the five types of careers, you need to have conscience and responsibility in your chosen career. For example, the teacher must be a teacher of conscience and responsibility. For example, a physician must be a physician with conscience and responsibility. Journalists, writers, drivers, nurses, farmers, artists, civil servants, shopkeepers, engineers ... all have conscience and responsibility.

Private monks have a whole long statistic about raising this network, what should do and what not to do. However, we can encapsulate in the  "  Purebred Network of Gender" (Ājīva pārisuddhisīla), here are considered as the only precepts, practice:

- As a monk, go begging alms, who offer what you use.

- As a Bhikkhu, it is possible to use real objects for the good of God and law.

- As the monk, away from the way to make food due to false, make noble, flattery, picking, benefit benefits.

- As a monk, as far away as the devious craft to find material to feed the network as the future line, fortune tellers, geographers, doctors, teachers see the horoscope, the general education, good day bad. .

In short, whether raised or up, the problem of raising the right hand in this life, is a great challenge. Fortunately, only the degree of earnestness with the path, sincere, faithful to the new path to the goal of enlightenment, liberation. Because if you do not practice the Noble Eightfold Path, there is no one there, no one can open the Realm.

6 Right Effort (sammāvāyāma).

Vāyāma is the effort, the effort, the effort, the need, the diligence.

If semantics is then lying  "coastal road"  out, I tried to sit up, then also need to have tons. When tired, laziness, we try

Raise your hand to lift this foot, the other a bit must also. When lifting a heavy object, we have to use as much as we have tons. Then, in the daily activities, go, stand, lie, sit must have tons. All work, occupation, study, exam ... if there is no effort, effort, need professional, we will fail. Until the murder, robbery, doing bad things evil ... must also have tons. Qualified people, alms, meditation or good work must also have tons. Think, live this life, everyone must have tons, one way or another.

Thus, with the general example above, ton is merely a power to transmit power, not moral, good and evil. Thus, not surprisingly, in the Abhidhamma tons (viriya) is not a concern, it is only a neutral mental states  (3) . Because it is neutral, it is not in the good or the akusala  (4) . When we do evil work, the negative karma, if there is tons of strength, power, the evil industry is more evil; On the other hand, good deed is better.

Therefore, the effort, the effort to do the wrong wrong, the hand of evil - is called "evil effort  ".  The efforts to do good things, right, towards enlightenment, liberation is called Right Effort.

Here, in the context of the Noble Eightfold Path, the ton-viriya (neutral) or ton-vāyāma (masculinity) has almost determined its righteousness.

So, sammāvāyama, condensed, has four feet of effort:

- Evil born, the unborn: Mindfulness of mind, listen to the mind, if not a thought, a thought, a bad evil thoughts arise, try to make it do not arise.

- Evil born, using the paragraph: Mindfulness, listen to the mind, if there was a thought, a thought, a bad idea evil is born then try to make it eradicate.

- Good, birth occurs: Mindfulness, listen to the mind, if not a thought, a thought, a good idea does not arise, try to make it arise.

- To be born, to grow up: Mindfulness of mind, listen to the mind, if there is a thought, a thought, a good idea is born then try to make it grow even more.

It's such a simple story but it's a long, deep, elaborate work. You need to have insight, insight on the four foundations of Mindfulness, namely,  "mindfulness"  how transparent, new clearly see, know the hope, rise of mind. A practitioner of insight knowledge, insight to the stage of seeing their mind has just arisen, know good or evil that they have gone far on the Bat Chanh route.

The last thing we should note, diligence is defined as trying, exertion, effort, professionalism, enthusiasm, sometimes even resilience; However, do not fall into the extremes, because willpower, determination too strong will drain energy, fatigue, nervous tension. According to the middle way, we just need to balance to the extent necessary, do not lax, indulge, ignore, neglect, loose while paying attention to his thoughts, thoughts are okay. And if diligence supports the other parts of the Noble Eightfold Path, likewise.

Right Mindfulness (sammāsati).

Sati is recitation. Mindfulness is remembering, recognizing, paying attention to what is happening, being dependent, acting through the sense-ceiling.

And samma, then I have understood; So sammāsati is the total attention, the object of the body - whether the object is beautiful or bad, distorted or round, good or evil; It means how it captures it completely (like a camera) without dividing, analyzing, not interfering with its subjective and subjective thinking.

In other words, Mindfulness is to return to the body of the mind, how it should be so, so to focus on it, do not forget yourself, do not get away from the reality that is. If it is wandering around somewhere, it is called mindlessness. If it is immersed in the object to arise in the yard, hate, hate something is called evil thoughts.

Speak for a more specific and understandable image - Right Mindfulness is the guardian of the body. The door keeper, who go out, go out, he must remember, noted. What, any way to go, go out the mind must go through Right Mind, as the door guard. Right Mindfulness stands and is fully attentive there, very serious, diligent, not neglected, not mindfulness. The task of Right Mindfulness is just that - do not do the job of  "seeing clearly, knowing or distinguishing bad guys and good people - knowing clearly the duty of right understanding and discrimination. Good guys are part of Right Thought! "

Going to the sutras, when speaking of Right Mindfulness, the Four Foundations of Mindfulness are mentioned everywhere. But when practicing the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, it is not just using Right Mindfulness but also using Right Understanding, Right Effort.

Specifically, when the mindfulness (kāyanupassanasatipaṭṭhana), the text as follows:

"- The practitioner lives on the body body (kāye kāyānupassī viharati), need (ātāpi), mindfulness (Satimā), awareness (sampajāno) control in the life (loke abhijjhā domanassaṃ)"  (5) .

And the mindfulness of Mindfulness, Mindfulness, and Faith are similarly similar.

If mindfulness is delegated to the group (mindfulness, concentration), consciousness is the representative for the group of insights (thought, thought), and diligence represents the group of speech (language, karma, network), practice insight To use all the functions of the Noble Eightfold Path.

At this point, we can determine that Right Mindfulness is the first stage, the foundation for the rest, to calm our minds - such as putting water down the table - from which Right Understanding and Right Effort work. That said, there are three divisions to participate, but it does not interrupt, but it happens simultaneously.

We can follow to know that the concept is just the beginning:

1. Mindfulness: Including 32 body, breath in, four postures, all activities, four, ten types of death ...

Mindfulness: Including suffering, peanut, discharge (in the body) and joy, good, discharge (in the heart)

Mindfulness: There are 16 kinds of mind, for example: mind is greed, mind is not greed, mind has no yard, no mind, mind has no mind si ...

4. Mindfulness: Include 5 hindrances, 5 aggregates, 12 causation, twelve countries, loss of sense, four magic ...

From mind to note, this mind, such as hair, hair (32 mm), in, out, sitting, chewing, wearing yoga bowl ..., hard body, soft, smooth , if you are doing something, touching something, the object is what is  "perfect"  with that is right mindfulness. However, there are people from this concept tilted through the idea (saññā) or combined with the idea is called  "memorial"  as the memorial of the Buddha, the Dharma, the monk just approach the law. Some people leaning to the restaurant or associate with the shop called  "mindfulness"  , such as Karma Mindfulness shop, there is more clarity and awareness as mentioned above; In the same way, is Quan Contemporary Mind, Mind Mindfulness, Quan Phuc Mindfulness see the general, kill the suffering, afflictions.

8. Right Concentration (sammāsamādhi).

Samādhi, concentration, is the state of mind only, quiet.

In our lives, contemplate:

- If one only needs to focus on one moment, one is determined to be called momentary.

If you focus on something for a long time, such as reading a book; Because it is too attentive to know what is going on around it is meant, known as the blade of time.

- If you choose the subject, such as the Buddha, we can go near the near, called the law.

All three types of sex on the sex.

If one chooses the object of rúpa, ie 10 objects of kasiṇa (earth, water, fire, wind, blue, red, white, yellow, vanity, light), we will go deep into the dhamma. meditation or security, renounce sex, the mind of meditation.

There are two kinds: Determination in the determination and wisdom:

Determine in the form: That is, in the jhānas and arūpa jhānas:

When one chooses one of the 10 kasiṇa objects, the five meditators appear to counter the five hindrances, the mind is calm, peaceful to enter the meditation:

- First, meditation, four, peanut, peanut, one center

Second jhana: Bliss, peanut, one heart.

- Three meditation: Lost, one heart.

- Four meditation: Equanimity, one heart.

- Not boundless meditation: Equanimity, one heart

- Concentration of meditation: Equanimity

- Non-possession of meditation: Equanimity.

- Mindless, non-meditative meditation: Equanimity, one-pointed.

This is a thousand-year old grandmother of la-religion. When Siddhattha Bodhisattva, in the period of his study, learned the two highest levels of jhana, the  "Noble  Truths "  and the  "Noble Truths of Meditation," where the two Ālāra masters Kālāma and Uddaka Rāmaputta - but he realizes that these attainments have not reached the point of liberation, so he renounces. After that, all 6 ascetic, Bodhisattva also found to be wrong. Finally, he chose the Middle Way, eating one meal a day. At the Bodhi tree, he has found his own way, then attained the results.

"His Own Way,"  which he remembered at the age of five when he accompanied his father to the feast, at the rose apple tree, with his  "innocent, innocent mind",  was easily accessible. meditation So at the Bodhi tree, he just relaxed, lightly watching the breath, he was in the early meditation, gentle in the second meditation, the third meditation, the fourth meditation ... Later, when he Reacting to the contents of the first meditation, he said:  "Divorce, separation of good luck, first residency meditation, state of bliss by divorce, there are four levels!" Thus, his intention was to divorce, the cup of evil should be the difference of the brahmins of that time. Moreover, he refused to accept it, he used it to allow the entire body and mind to become homogeneous, mind and mind completely quiet and pure - back to the law, he uses shimmer see, insight, not see, not see, not see, not see the fall. When the self-reflection has become hollow throughout, the light in ... there is no starting, a condition that does not appear before his insight ... So, Bodhisattva has taken refuge In order to calm the evil, greed, the mind becomes pure, then the new insight into the five aggregates, the dual mind ....

So temporarily we understand that the unfulfilled, left the sex and the evil - is the right Concentration, and is the intention.

8.2- Insightful:

Determine this from the mind that has. If mindfulness is to drop the mind and body, let it remain silent. Sometimes just listening, watching 5 or 7 breaths is the intention. They may be samadhi, samadhi, or threefold. This is the daily routine of cooking, washing, driving, gardening, teaching children, waiting for a train, picking up tickets, listening to emotions, in the face of irregular anger. It is the natural state of life, it needs to stabilize the mind, help us calm, self-control, calm at all times, always.

However, we note:

- Determination in the meditation, the practitioner does not possess the set, do not cling to the joy of meditation, only borrowed for the purpose of separation, legal evil - back to near the turn to the insight shop, see the real general to liberate Ignorance, craving - new is called Right Concentration.

- In the intellectual property, Buddhist practitioners need the kind of concentration (as above) to stabilize the mind body, then permanently remove the wisdom in every activity of life. Because there is wisdom shining light and then action through the body, speech

Of course, when there is right view, right mind lead the way, language, karma, effort, that will become the right foot. Determined to have this knowledge is the right direction, right?

In short, the Path has eight parts, but they are connected. They are often linked in a linear way, for example, right understanding, right thinking, right ...

And they may be joined together in a circle; strangely, what is before, what later is also. For example, some people ask: How can we have Right View, without Right Mindfulness? How do we have Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration - if language, Karma, net not? How do you know the language, Karma, Pure net without the Right View and Thinking?

However, if the circle is correct - why Gener, Dinh, Tue re-arranged by linear: Biogenetic force, Biogenetic knowledge? (Representation for language, business, networking, delegates for mindfulness, determination); Scholarly delegates for Ants and Thought).

Actually, linear or circular is true.

Lin Gender, Dinh, Tue, for the preliminary, must precaution to prevent evil, good, so the new mind, new quiet; mind quiet, greed, negativity, new knowledge arises.

Linear Right View, Right Thought ... because this is the direct. The practitioner of the Path is only effective when it has seen suffering and the cause of suffering. Because there is wisdom, only the Chief Justice should lead the remaining 7 generals to follow.

The circle is not wrong, because for the practitioner has practiced vipassanā long, mature, for them, the Eightfold Path is close to the mind! Just one point, an object from the continent communicates with the six senses, immediately they have Right Mindfulness and Enlightenment, that is, the full Noble Eightfold Path. And at that time, no matter what, before what, then! Well, let's say first, the latter in this case, is just to say, play, comment!

A bead falls into the eyes of ordinary people, all body minds are alarmed by insecurity because at that moment, they do not have the Noble Eightfold Path!

A dust particles fall into the eye of wisdom, all body and mind are quiet, peaceful because at that moment, they have the Noble Eightfold Path!.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/1/2018.
