When it comes to impermanence, suffering, selflessness, we should note, there is mention of a legal nature, or comes to his perception of his nature. Often people confuse our perception of the concept of (regulatory) impermanence, suffering, selflessness and the true nature (essence) of the law.
Seeing impermanence (anicca)
People often sit thinking on the phenomenon of birth, there is death, there, not there and then assign it ephemeral concept. Scientists can measure the variation impermanence of physics and chemistry through calculation or through measurement equipment. In everyday life everyone is clear about the impermanent phenomena through the transformation of the four seasons, the transition from day through the night, or when the sun rises, when diving at full moon ... But with time , which is still only through the prism of ideology, concepts, knowledge of impermanence, not to impermanent called positivism.
People often assimilate scientific insight with the view of Buddhism. But science and Buddhism differ in approach truth. Science is understanding and measurement of precise information about the process of change - birth and death impermanent state - on each subject studied, while Buddhism is not to study objects that just exploring, discovering Status inner awareness for all subjects. Because of this difference that scientists clearly see impermanence but that still can not enlightened - freed. While Buddhism can achieve the purpose of enlightenment - freed for inner attitude is no longer bound by the change impermanence of all living organisms.
In terms of knowledge we all know with time everyone will grow old, ill and eventually died. We know very well that no one can escape the law of impermanence. But in reality when getting old, it still starts regret, using all means to reclaim their youthful appearance. When we find ourselves ill, began to panic, worry splashing seeking treatment for healing. When people close their eyes and go themselves, lovers betrayed, etc. .. grief, sorrow grief, suffering inner torment every night. Reason is to understand the nature of life is impermanent, but the interior has not permeated this truth. For such Buddhism it is still not really see the impermanent nature of life.
The process of cognitive development of a living being can be divided into 4 levels as follows:
1. Understand the concepts and semantics through knowledge: just understand semantics through concepts, knowledge and operation of reason as thinking, reasoning, number, etc .. judgment on the phenomenon, not seen discriminative (base) of the law even where reality.
2. Seeing through discern the original LY: start getting LY (truth) through the experience shows know (knowledge) direct and honest nature of reality legal right place.
3. Throughout THE PHYSICAL through experience: when has realized the truth (LY) exposed the true nature ie, the right approach that starts at the base real experience, eroding the separation between the experience (ego ) and audience experience.
4. THE MANAGEMENT and not two: the real nature live fully in the stand, there are no experienced people and objects experience, which is right where the present reality body-mind-scenes logic and not two. Oil still live between continuous substrate depending upon the legal coast, not far from the base discriminative.
Understanding impermanence change through knowledge and self-transformation experience that, and thanks to fully embrace this truth without popular hate mentality, removed should be able to discern the true nature of impermanence with hollow center quiet in the morning. All these developments help center has just seen the facts can an order in the ephemeral nature of life. That new attitude is seen directly and honestly know impermanent nature.
Once realized the true nature of impermanence, it can not interfere in our conception of the evolution of the legal impermanence. France to go how they see it as such, do not hold it nor reject it. Because "legal poke sticks wheel" situation only becomes worse, only brought suffering and misery to himself and people. Therefore, whether living in the heart of impermanence tan can still at very afraid.
Every law is also for this, is that the other wants to approach, expecting that ... measures will be then regulated, solve, intervention, artifacts discretion shall not see very often. Really see impermanence as it was immediately see approach rather want it to be, so despite the more often remain unwavering attention. That is whether the world has often impermanent or heart still not governed, remained completely calm, purity.
So in life is impermanent, do not try to seek immortality (often), do not attempt to understand the phenomenon of transformation was like, but only to look to the inner attitude when faced with all impermanent changes. Is a legal right attitude change how they saw as so not to be, must be, will be. Things to travel are seen as a natural self. That is the realization of impermanence is real. Also change according to their own wish, or want to get rid of impermanence, that do not want to change it as often but still not want to see impermanence.
Seeing the suffering (dukkha)
There are three kinds of suffering:
1. The nature of suffering:
Walking initially saw fit, to many began to see fatigue that is suffering. Initially seen standing in the sun warm, long standing start to see heat that is suffering. New food and found very tasty, eat more uncomfortable it is suffering.
So Buddha said: "What is impermanent is suffering" , in the process of change in the legal uncertainty of the extent'll optimistic that others will see the extent of suffering. Overheating also suffering, too cold ... The suffering and suffering is natural in life, not by taking-yard-si. They are a warning signal for people to adjust their behavior to fit right, the circumstances and his stamina. Examples eat moderate, we do not overfeed, go moderate, we do not try too fast too slow, etc ...
The suffering is useful, because it helps us perceive and adjust their behavior, so it is not entirely in the Four Noble Truths Noble Truths.
2. Suffering from karma:
The work he has done in the past, now we must naturally reap its consequences. For example yesterday eating real careful so today was hit with abdominal pains, vomiting nostalgic to be exhausted. Of course suffering, but have so new to expel toxic recover soon, there is also an automatic adjustment very effective. Also, through which we learned to adjust causal cognitive and their behavior.
Suffering always correspond with the result created earlier, so once that suffering is immediate behavioral consequences artifacts of his own mistakes, not by anyone else or any external cause. The best way is calm and lucid patient receives their own consequences caused to understand the principle of causality and to learn to live more cautiously.
Although this suffering are involved DUKKHA but still not that hard to direct that the Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths.
3. The psychological suffering:
This is the psychological suffering than the physical pain. This suffering caused by wrong mental attitude - is a virtual wall - so it was really just an illusion. Yet it still more suffering on both so new format called Noble Truths. And when enlightenment escape this kind of hard to stop and not having to leave the other two kinds of suffering.
The reason is DUKKHA illusion because it is emotion, feeling by the psychological illusion called charity (charity, or fraternal, non-bhava) created. For example, the rich but began chewing bread and found it was not hard, but poor families often hungry, this is the true bread is chewing happily. Thus, this type of suffering from psychological attitude displeasure, even if they were gratified to be optimistic. Feeling optimistic or suffering this kind is completely dependent on the psychological attitude alone, so obviously not true. And this new suffering is difficult to Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths.
Seeing anattā ()
Buddha has said very clearly compounded is impermanent, compounded the suffering but all compounded or unconditioned are selfless.
Compounded two types:
1. Friends of nature (sankhāra): that is what the word conditioned by many factors but the. Often the phenomenon occurs in physics, chemistry and the natural activity of the mind. For example, water from the oxygen with hydrogen to form, or the feelings, thoughts of the mind so ... France is compounded natural causes suffering.
2. Friends of artifacts (Sankhata): It's the actions, reactions intentional artifacts (cetana) of the ego that. For example, good and bad deeds of body and mind. Compounded the suffering caused fruit (inhuman horror maturity) and psychological suffering (dukkha Empire).
See mistaken ego natural remedies into "I" and "mine". For example, the mortgage instead is I go, I look, it's a great look, ... from which is my body, my mind, my home, etc ... The long day accept this mistake will become delusional it's larger "self" of Me.
On the plane of social relations, they may pause regulatory concept "I" and "mine" are. Call the "I" to distinguish them from others, called "mine" to distinguish them from other people's property rights. But that's just the concept of social convention alone, not really. These regulations may be acceptable but "self" My illusion is purely fictitious.
The ego is formed from different conditions of the natural environment and society. From the beginning when everyone is born the same, including Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void and Count Know. Due to the natural living conditions and social differences, physical change, physiologically and psychologically different, so that each person has a unique individual, no one quite like anyone.
From natural differences between individuals is that formed his delusion is a private individual to another, from which each individual choosing what you love, what you hate to remove already formed an ego but its properties are all the elements of it and own choice. The fellowship is from harmony between individuals becomes the birth moment in the relationship between each individual, and then lead to love or hate each other, or disagree with each other, compromise or antagonistic, or scrambling help, support or mutual isolation ...
In nature, the causes and conditions of this difference is true, but in the psychology of each person, this difference becomes self is entirely an illusion. If you look carefully, only to go, only that only touches ... ie only pure activity of the mind and body so I do not have that process in the whole. While sleeping, there is no notion of ego, but still living body-mind as often. Beating, heart still know, that know not through senses are even accurate than the known spiritual experience through the senses.
In short all compounded or unconditioned, physical or psychological are selfless. In see only see, in listen only listen ... no one is found, no one was listening and did not have anything to see, nothing to hear. Those who see such and staying true to that vision, that person saw selflessness.
Many ordinary people when they can wisely - calm - fresh, but somehow the face of adversity, his example you change your attitude to it is no longer lucid mind - calm - fresh anymore , which kept the reaction, upset ... This is because I still want to be naked, be optimistic and be like their will, because they have not found out the nature of impermanence, suffering and selflessness.
When experiencing adversity or natural conditioned by their karma to suffer, then they realize that: "Adversity is the challenge whether you truly wise - calm - not fresh, or just get in lucid calm upon the scene only "then at that instant adversity become valuable condition to practice. So thanks to adversity impermanent, but discovered his reaction comes from self or selflessness.
I need adversity was grateful to her, because thanks to them that I stronger, wiser, know more balance. But if you want to keep forever what you have achieved, watch while his practice tends often instead of impermanence; want to communicate instead of facing suffering.
Tu to do? As to peace - no change? Is to be blissful - not suffering? Is to be ... this and that like his will? In this sense it is mistaken. If it wants peace usually does not change the life of this capital is impermanent, only asking for insecurity only. Wise people see all that come to me are its causes and conditions. Because not enough insight, patience to see the impermanent nature of new insecurity, thus initiates are found in the ephemeral nature of life, of course, not want to be the eternal immutable peace. Insecurity is due to the inner attitude and not by the impermanence of life. So the ultimate peace only when inner equilibrium purity (lucid, calm, fresh) before any change is impermanent.
Nor convent is to be blissful, does not want to suffer, because the greater the need, the more joy than suffering alone. Seeing the true nature of suffering for the patient will not fall into the illusion psychological suffering hallucinations draw, but that is suffering the most severe discomfort. Actually communicate or are suffering due to the attitude of each person. Amendment is found, said the current shop, realization of suffering, which people find joy and worry can not be realized. So who does not see the true nature of suffering, it will be impossible to escape suffering it.
Attitudes facing impermanence or facing significant new format, rather impermanent state, or state how it is suffering. Faced with impermanence and suffering have two attitudes: cognitive attitude that event how, and attitude response (behavior) that event happen again. Misperception and behavior will cause additional artifacts now, still aware and artifacts behavior then there is enlightenment. Find out these things, the practice will be easier, and not only increasingly struggling but create illusions about life.
The enlightenment absolutely must see the nature of impermanence, suffering, selflessness. The mind that realizes the nature of impermanence, suffering, selflessness is essential that new, not only to learn the status of impermanence, suffering, selflessness is something through reason, knowledge. For unconditioned mind, emptiness, in the morning, all the concepts of impermanence, suffering, selflessness are no longer important.
Relationship between Impermanence, Suffering, Anatta
Impermanence, suffering and selflessness called Tam France India, ie 3 seal or 3 in the same legal essence rather than three separate components together. So just see one of the three properties were found to be true ie legality, should immediately see that instant two remaining properties, and not see the complete essence essence before investigating other.
People have too much is accepted, that is always to be, should be, would be, just find out is impermanent is enlightenment. The full craving artifacts of unwholesome, just see the suffering is enlightenment. And people accept us, of me and my self, just to see all the measures are self is enlightenment.
Once not see impermanence, and arguably, should be, would be, it certainly will not be satisfied and will fall into line, because operational measures under the law of impermanence interdependent, not just for himself. What things can not exist in isolation but are interdependent, but students also rely relies kill one another, it is selfless.
He sees the true nature of life is impermanence, suffering, selflessness and emptiness attitude in the face of our bright, it can live carefree lives unobstructed middle of impermanence, suffering, selflessness this . That person enlightenment, not liberation ie "escape" from impermanence, suffering, selflessness.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.3/12/2015.
