The whole reason why we have to learn about France ( Dhamma ), the teachings of the Buddha, is to seek a way through anguish, reaching to peace and happiness. C ho whether we learn about the physical phenomenon or spirit, mind ( citta ) and its concomitants ( cetasika ), only when we get liberation from all defilements as the ultimate goal, will we in the right way , nothing less than that. Have caused anguish and conditions caused its existence.
Please understand clearly that when the mind is quiet, it is a natural condition, mental normal. Every center has just boot up, instant it becomes conditional. When the mind is the attractive object, the center was conditional. When hate arises hostility, conditional interest. Italy wants to move from one place to another, also arise due to the chemical conditions. If the awareness of us do not keep up the transformation of spiritual shaken, then the mind will pursue the transformation, and thus that are conditioned by them. When the mind moves, at there, he became a real interest in the convention.
So the Buddha taught us to be contemplating the transformation that stirs the heart. Each time the mobile center, it becomes unstable and impermanent ( anicca ), unsatisfactory ( dukkha, suffering ), and can not use it as an ego is ( anatta ). Impermanence, suffering, selflessness are three universal characteristics of all conditioned things. The Buddha taught us to observe and reflect the fluctuations of the mind.
For Duyen Sinh Ly ( Paticca samuppāda ), one should also learn how: ignorance ( avijja ) is the cause and condition arises the issue now; Human actions are born of knowledge and origination ( viññāna ); the formula is the birth name and origination ( nāma ) and color ( rupa ); etc ... as we've learned in the scriptures. Buddha separated each link in the chain of twelve causes and conditions that we enjoy learning. This is an accurate description of reality. But when the process of events that actually took place in the life, the scholars do not have enough ability to track exactly when they occur. Just as we are from high treetops crashed to the ground. We do not know when falling, we have through many leaves. Likewise, when the heart suddenly bumping into an object, if there is a delight in it, the mind immediately follow and create happy state. He only knows to mind the joy that can not be known long chain of causes and conditions leading to his happy state. The process of the events occurred in line with what was described in theory, but at the same time it beyond the limits of that theory.
There is nothing tangible to say: "This is ignorance. These are operating now, and that is informal, ... "Progress is not predestined for scholars have the opportunity to read out a list of events as they happen. Although the Buddha analyzed meticulously and clearly explain the short interest, but for me, the process similar to events from the tree crashed down. When we flopped down on the ground and then, we could not have fallen simulation calculation of how many meters high. What we know for sure that my body hit the ground, and it hurts!

How does the mind also. When the mind falls into a certain job, which we know is the pain. The anguish, pain, sorrow, and disappointment that has come from where? They do not come from theory in textbooks. There was no place wrote the details of our misery. Our suffering is not related exactly with the theory, but both, the suffering and theory, the same following the same path. The study through books can not keep up with reality. Therefore, Buddha must cultivate clear understanding of ourselves. Anything arise up, which are arising in the awareness that. When this knowledge, did or said was true to the facts, the mind and mental states were realized clearly that they are not mine. Ultimately, all of these phenomena need to get rid of the past and throw away as garbage. We should not cling to and assign them a sense at all.

Theory and practice

Buddha taught about the mind and mental states, but not let us cling to that notion. His sole intention is to help us identify them for ourselves (mind and mental states) are impermanent, unsatisfactory and selfless. Then abandon them, brushed them aside. Be aware and understand them when they arise. This center has been conditioned for years. He was the workout center and under the conditions and turned to whirling away from the status of pure knowledge. When her mind was spinning, it creates phenomena conditional, then the phenomenon that affects the mind back further, making the transformation continues forever. That process originality of good, evil, and other things under the sun this. Buddha should have to renounce them all away. However, even early, you still have to get used to the theory, and then you can drop it at a later stage. It's a natural process. Mind is just like that. The mental factor is just like that.
To take one example, the Eightfold Path, for example. When wisdom ( Panna, uncivil ) observing an indecent things with smart shops, arise and bring Right to Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Livelihood, and the next spending. This is related to the psychological condition has arisen from pure awareness. Awareness as well as a lamp shining in a dark night for the road ahead. If the correct understanding, that is consistent with the truth, it spreads and screening for each other On the way Eightfold step.
Anything that we can test, that also arises in the scope of this understanding. Understanding impossible if the mind does not exist. All the phenomena of the mind. As Buddha said, the mind is simply mind. Mind is not a being, not a person, a self, or be yourself. Mind is not us, nor are they. France ( Dhamma ) is simply French. It is a natural process, not self. It does not belong to us, or anyone else. It is not an object. Anything that an individual experiences fall into five basic categories this ( khandas, five aggregates ): form, feeling, perception, volition and consciousness. The Buddha taught us to let them go out.

The reflection is like a wooden stick. Ming shop ( vipassana ) in this top of the wood, and An only ( Samantha ) is at the other end. When we picked up the wooden bar, is a head or two head cungduoc raised? Of course, when the timber holding up the first two are taken up at all. First is proving consistency, and is an only beginning? Where does the intelligent bar ends and where the police just started? Both are interested at all. When the mind becomes calm, then peace will arise immediately the first step from where tranquility, peace only ( samatha ). We collected and consolidated in the mind peaceful state ( samadhi ). However, when the peace and stabilization samādhi fades, misery will arise instead. Why so? Because peace by peace meditation only leads to still be based on grasping. The attachment may be a cause of suffering. Remaining calm is not the final step of the way. Buddha saw that, because of his own experience, the peace of mind like that is still not the end. The underlying causes of the existing process ( bhava ) has not been annihilated ( nirodha ). The condition of the regeneration is still there. His spiritual work has yet reached perfection. Why? Because still suffering. Therefore, based on the security of calm, he continues to contemplate, investigate, and analyze the compounded nature of reality until he was freed of all constraints, even the binding in tranquility. Tranquility is still a part of the world and reality compounded assessed. Sticking to the type of security that is clinging to reality assessed, and for as long as we still cling to it, we are still mired in existence and rebirth. Rejoice in the peace of tranquility will bring to existing and next rebirth. Once restless and perturbed mind was calm down and then, people often cling to the quiet that followed.
So Buddha observed the causes and conditions underlying existence and rebirth. So long as he has not fully penetrate into the matter and understand clearly the Truth, he continued to massacre increasingly deeper, with a calm mind, shines on all things , peace or turmoil, whenever they arise up. He continued surveillance until he see clearly and transparently that all existing legal arises when it is like a red-hot iron ball is hot. Five aggregates (form, feeling perception, consciousness) of beings is red hot iron ball. When a red hot red hot iron ball, there is no place for us holding hands burned without reasonable? Are there any areas where red hot iron ball that is cooler reasonable? Try to touch above, below or hips but also see a cool place reasonable? It can not be. Hon hot irons were totally on fire. We can not cling to the serenity. If self-identification with such serenity, then conjecture that there are also those who are peaceful and calm, it is unwittingly reinforces the mistaken idea that there is a separate soul, an independent self. The idea of ​​self as being a part of conventional reality. When the thought, "I peace, I stirred, I'm fine, I'm bad, I'm happy, I'm sad," the more we become entangled in existence and rebirth. Even more miserable. When happiness fades, we suffer. When the misery disappear, we can happily return. Forever entangled in the vicious cycle that we constantly rising indented down between heaven and hell.
Before enlightenment, Buddha noticed this in his own mind. He knows that the conditions of existence cacdieu and regeneration has not yet eradicated. His work was not yet finished. Focusing on the conditionality of life, contemplating Him: "For this reason that there is born; because of this birth came death, and all of this transformation come and go. "So the Buddha took the theme to contemplate that most understand the Truth of the five aggregates. All things spiritual or material, all things are conceived or thought to, are conditioned by birth, without any exceptions. Once he understood that, he taught us to put them down. Once he understood that, he taught us to let them go out. He encouraged everyone to understand to suit Truth. If not, we will be miserable. We can not afford to throw away those things. However, once we clearly see the truth about it, we will acknowledge that the things that fascinated us. As Buddha said, "Mind has no substance, it is not a thing at all."
Mind is not born as belonging to someone. Tim does not die as anyone. Her mind freely, luminous, and not caught up in any problems at all. The reason the problem arose because his mind was clouded by the conditional things, tainted because of misconceptions about the self. Therefore, the Buddha should have to observe that mind. Right at the beginning, there was nothing there? Really, nothing at all. Tam did not arise with compounded, and her mind is not consumed under which compounded. When encountering a wholesome anything, did not change the mind to become wholesome follow. When encountering an evil thing, he's not evil mind follow. Tam was like that, when there is a clear view to proving consistency of his own essence. There is an understanding that this was an essentially accidental.
Intelligent intellectual traditions of the Buddha saw all those phenomena are impermanent, unsatisfactory and selfless . He wants all of us to understand fully under way there. Therefore, the "know" know very consistent with the Truth. When the "know" it known that bliss and sorrow, it retains the stolid, motionless. Emotional happiness is a form of birth. Tendency to become upset is a form of death. Upon death, all will have the students; and what is born and will die. Arising and cessation, kept forever entangled in vicious cycle of existence. Once the minds of practitioners have reached the state of such knowledge, then no remaining doubts about becoming and rebirth anymore. There is no need to ask anyone anymore.
Buddha fully massacre all compounded and has let go of them. Five Aggregates were also let go, and the "knowledge" is merely a disinterested observer. If he experiences anything positive, so that he does not become active. He merely observed and awareness. If he experienced anything negative, he did not become negative. And why so? Because his mind was liberated from the karmic him. He imbues the Truth. Predestined brought to regenerated no longer exists. That is the "knowing" certain and reliable. It's a truly mind completely calm. That is what is not born, no aging, no sickness, and no death. That was not the cause or the consequence, not depending on the cause and effect; completely independent of process conditionality. The cause of that time has ended, and not left a further grace. He crossed the mind of birth and death, happiness and pass bi, both good and evil. And what more can be said? It crossed all the limits of words to describe it. All conditional support has ended, and attempts to describe it would only lead to sticking with. The language is used then only becomes a theory of mind colon only.
The theoretical description of the mind and how the mind works, though accurate, but Buddha see that kind of knowledge is relatively useless. We use the knowledge to understand something, then believe in it, but it does not have any real benefit. That knowledge does not lead to calm. Understanding of the Buddha brought to the detachment. The result is a refusal. Because the mind has led us a hand in both right and left thing. If pretty wise, we will choose what is right. If too naive, we shall regard to evil. He is the focal center of the world, and the Blessed One was used to things of this world to the world observe it. Knowing clearly this world as they really it was like, he became known as Career "The time resolution", ie Career understand this world very clear and transparent.
Back with security issues only ( samatha ) and smart shop ( vipassana ), the most important thing is to develop that state within our own mind. Only when we actually develop them in me, then will we truly understanding how they are. We're trying to learn what the books say about the elements of mind, but this kind of intellectual knowledge is not spent to benefit completely sever the selfish desire, hatred and delusion. We study the theory of greed, hatred and delusion, simply to describe the various characteristics of that spirit taints "selfish desire that is like this; anger meant like that; ignorance is defined like that. "When we pass only understanding the characteristics of that theory, we can preach about them, but only on this aspect alone. We are intelligent and know how, but when it really taints arise in our mind, we have exactly the same as in theory it? For example, when we encounter something wishes, we can react against and become scowling reasonable? We cling to it not? Or do we let go, to go away? If the rising hostility and hate us so, we can still embrace the hate hostility that always reasonable? Or when we have identified clear out the hate and hostility, we have not let it go away? If yourselves when there is not a pleasant thing that emerges is hostility and tried to keep the hostility hate hate it forever, better that we should go back to study again. Because bigotry that is not the right attitude. The practice is not yet perfect. Every once perfectly natural then detachment occurs. The things you look back in this light.
We must honestly look deeply into our own heart, if we want to experience the benefits of the practice. Try to describe the psychological condition, through different mental and cacdac their properties, the practice is not sufficient. There are many other things to do than that. If you need to learn these things, you learn them absolute clarity with clear and profound understanding. Lack of consistency and clarity of identity, how we completed the study? We never finish learning for all.

Practicing Dharma therefore extremely important. When I practice, I'm learning that. I do not know anything about the mental states, the psychological element of the center. I just observe the qualities of understanding. If a thought arises, I immediately wondered why. If one reviews anger rise, I wonder why. If a sense of love born, I wondered why. That's the way that I follow. Despite naming standard that is thought, are mental states, are psychological factors, what is what, they also have stars? Just go deep into that point until the emotional love or hatred which completely disappeared from the center. When I can afford to stop the love or hate, in any case, I was able to get away from the pain. Then, what needs to happen more; heart and mind has been liberated and relaxed. Nothing is left. They all stop to stop.

Please practice like that. If anyone wants to preach about the theory, then that's their job. But despite the debate to how much, then the practice is only collected at a single point here. When things do arise, then it kicked up right here. More or less, it is also rooted right here. When it ended, the termination is happening right here. Where else anymore? Buddha called point here is the "understanding". When the "understanding" that know the exact material, in accordance with the Truth, we understand the significance of the heart. Things always cheated constantly. When we learn about them, they always deceive us. I also have to say how now? Even though you know them, you still fascinated by them, right where you said to them. That is the reality. The problem is this: The Buddha's ydinh not want us to know what things are called. His aim is to teach the Dhamma we meditate to find a way to help us escape from the constraints of all things, through the screening of the root causes lie beneath.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGTHMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/10/2015.
