Chapter VI 6.

Contingent resources  (Bala)

N -heartedly "mental energy" ( Balani ) is called so because "it allelopathic the opposite state of mind." [1] Or again, as the commentaries explain: It has more capacity, in the sense of opposing forces can not make it budge ( akampanatthena ) [2].

For comparison with the Five Forces personnel ( bala ):

1.  saddhà  (Credit Force, faith)
2.  viriya  (Tan Luc, conduct diligent)
3.  Sati  (Mindfulness Force, mindfulness)
4.  Samadhi  (concentration, concentration)
5.  Panna  (Wisdom Force, location Property).

Five powers like five generals, or commander, slaughtered and destroyed "My kingdom opposed Ants". This is a powerful capability that year you Bhikkhus and laymen row house can safely put their trust and rely upon.

Like the case of Tin Can, Tin Force ( saddhà bala ) there are two types: 1) Tin Luc Ordinary ( pakati-saddhà ) and 2) Tin Forces are cultivated ( bhàvanà-saddhà ).

"Ordinary Credit Resources" do not have to be cultivated and developed through practice in particular, are associated with craving ( tanhà ) depending on circumstances, can only create the common good karma ( kusala-kamma-pakati ) as of Giving ( dana ), Morality ( sila ) etc .. the capacity of its limited extent irreparable Take heart. Conversely, Craving ( tanhà ) lien "Ordinary Faith" under its authority.

Craving keep Ordinary Faith under the power of it how? - Pali scriptures clearly refers to four "Traditional Practices of Aryas" ( Ariya-vamsa ) [3].

That is:

1. Easily police department, be content with the food that we have,
2. Easily police department, with his love of clothes that have,
3. Easily satisfied with whatever they have any accommodation,
4. Find pleasure and joy in the act of meditation ( bhavana ).

"Four traditional practices of Aryas" into the scope of this case  saddhà  [4], faith. In today's world this vast range of faith,  saddhà , nestled discreetly sunk disappeared. Today, the people rejoice and delight in earthly pleasures ( paccayamisa ); they rejoice and delight in status, power, and fame on earth (lokamisa ); they rejoice and delight in life there are many pleasures, property rich, more imposing and powerful force ( vattamisa ) and the like, the vast kingdom of Craving ( tanhà ) is firmly and solidly proved wall as vast ocean covering the island. And this shows the weakness point of Ordinary Faith (pakati-saddhà ) in this world.

Major "faith be cultivated", arising from the practice of mindful Body Contemplation (such as Mindfulness of Breathing) - are processed diligently until every situation even perturbed and instability to end - new craving can exclude ( tanhà ), that delight in earthly pleasures three categories ( amisa ) above. [5] The faith is cultivated ( bhàvanà saddhà ) can save you Bhikkhus and laymen row DROP dives in the ocean sinking of three Craving [6], and help take them to the "island refuge islands "of the kingdom of the Faith ( saddhà ), ie four of traditional Practices Aryas ( ariya-vamsa-dhamma ). In the context of the Assistant Path ( Bodhipakkiya-dhamma ) cultivate the faith is to be successful.

In the two types of Effort ( viriya ), type Effort Ordinary, not cultivate this practice, associated with laziness ( kosajja ), depending on the case, leading to the common good karma ( kusala-kamma-pakati) as of Giving, Morality and the study of classics etc .. this type Common Effort not afford to exclude lazy disabilities. In contrast, the lazy government control and ownership Common Effort.

When facing the Teachings of the Buddha ( Buddha Sasana ) we know that from the distant past endless cycle of reincarnation I was close familiar with My Learning ( Sakkaya-ditthi ), with the unwholesome ( duccarita ), and are beings in these worlds ( apaya-loka ). Pali scriptures describe clearly and exhaustively Traditional Practices of the Saints,  Ariya-vamsa , as the way to eliminate the lazy habits, and the fourth element in these four are - that happy agreement like in meditation - must be practiced when even gone beyond the state of lazy (as opposed to capital Effort).

Ways to eliminate the lazy state described above (in the case of a monk) [7]. Forums to equip with sikkhas  (legal practice - which is a legacy of the Buddha) that the ordained, he became monk, this man with divine practice:

* The trees and bushes in the forest as a place of residence,
* just as the food is living with alms while going for alms,
* practicing momentum ( Dhutanga , strict practice of the Taoist hermit) and
* Body Contemplation and attentive.

Such is the impact of industrial Effort to eliminate unwholesome ( akusala kamma ) arises due to laziness ( kasajja ). These are works within Effort ( viriya ).

In today's world the scope of this hidden Diligent, still dark and unknown. Today, even though you know you belong monk class of beings in body and unwholesome Ants and possibly fallen into the lower worlds, but often live in the cities and villages to be close to believers experimental; their delight is like receiving gifts and benefits offerings, they can not keep away the crowds gathering etc .. all these things are within the scope of the sloth ( kasajja ) and scope Lazy this lazy clearly visible as sea water flooded an island. This expression how debilitating nature of the Common Effort ( pakati viriya).

Effort only be cultivated ( bhàvanà viriya ) - such as police department content with minimal sleep state, provincial and always positive sense of living, not fear, courage and determination to live alone, specialized need sustainable and meditation practices - only type Diligent so can eliminate sloth status.

In the context of the Assistant Path ( Bodhipakkhiya-dhammā , essential needs aiming to Enlightenment) must succeed "Effort is cultivated" through meditation.

Mindfulness meaningful details Luc, Luc Dinh Luc and Wisdom can receive through the explanation Assembly above. Here Master (Ledi Sayadaw) only a brief summary.

Antithesis to sati, mindfulness, is mutthasacca, restlessness or mental state is not attentive (forgetfulness). This means that can not focus on meticulous meditation Tranquillity ( samatha bhavana ) or insight meditation ( vipassana-bhavana ); can not afford to focus and control the mind;wild ideological line toward the other objects, in addition to concentrating on this title. Regular Force concept for the new phase started practicing incapable of eliminating forgetfulness such condition.Mindfulness is cultivated only a new heart can afford.

Antithesis to  samadhi , samadhi, the chaotic situation ( vikkhepa , that ideas do not wander flying intention). These conditions include impotence, poor ability to concentrate, control and strong focus on an object. Such is the arising of thoughts towards other subjects, in addition to your meditation. Such is the state of mind chaotic and insecure as to impose on meticulous meditation. Concentration Ordinary can not exclude the impure state of mind chaotic. Concentration is only cultivate meditation ( samadhi bhavana ) can afford.

Adversity means  pannà , Wisdom, is the state  sammoha , Si Me. This is an enchanting state of mind, less clear, ambiguous and not clear. This is the mental state of stupor because of the black film cover.Conventional Wisdom ( pakati-pannà ) erudition and life force ( pariyatti-pannà ), which may include the state learns the whole Tripitaka, can not be ruled states of mind like that Si Me . Wisdom only be cultivated by Meditation ( bhàvanà pannà ) solidly in the legal firm Body Contemplation, can gradually eliminate ignorance.

This means that the legal opposition in unwholesome ( akusala-dhamma-patipakkha ) coupled pairs, parallel to the corresponding Capability (bala).

Five capacity was evil opposites:

1. Craving ( tanhà );
2. Lazy ( kosajja ), or poor tolerance toil status (fatigue), or lack of willpower firmness, lack of determination to not be afraid to practice Dhamma;
3. Forgetfulness ( mutthasacca );
4. Chaotic ( vikkhepa );
5. Si Me ( sammoha ).

Five possible coercive power, or reacting against and exclusion of this capacity is called the five powers ( bala ). For class  Neyya , who need to be guided, if a weak spending in the five powers and can not afford to exclude the opposing forces, the practice, Tranquillity oil or Vipassana, they will hardly succeed.

Therefore, today few people can go beyond the scope of Craving ( tanhà ) because Tin Force ( saddhà bala ) their mighty enough. The men had no craving, no clinging to earthly things, in status, power, or fame. But because the other four are weak Capability, so they can not get out onto the easily satisfied (santutthi ) with their living conditions.

Some people may go beyond the scope of Craving and sloth as Tin Tan Luc their force and strong enough. They can often preserve life satisfaction, and - if a monk - may persist live deep in the forest on the hills, and determined to practice virtues momentum ( dhutanga ), exemplary conduct Solubility.However, because the other three weak Capability so they can not successfully practice mindfulness relatives or in the practice of Tranquillity or Vipassana.

Again, there are few people strong enough in the first three Capacity (Tin Luc, Tan Luc and Luc Mindfulness) and thus toward mindful Body Contemplation ( kàyagatà sati ), achievements like state of concentration practice vapor-Thơ- anniversary the breathing-in or meditate on the bone in the body.But due to lack of the other two Capability (Tue Dinh Luc and Luc) should not be able to attain Meditation, Jhàna, and Insight.

Others, may attain the Zen floor ( Jhàna ) because four of their first Capability strong but weak Tue Force should not be successful in Vipassana meditation.

Few people have enough strength thanks Tue Force research study Dhamma and the Tripitaka. They also wise to grasp the doctrine of ultimate truth ( dhamma paramattha , tripods). But because lacking a solid foundation of four Capacity other, so they can not pass from the heart Craving areas, sloth, Recitation and chaotic. They live and die within the scope of her impure state. Thus, when a Capacity of five powers are weak, I can not pass from the scope of equal opposing forces.

In the five powers, the capacity of the Intellectual Effort and also as the Tuc ( Iddhipadas ) "Bases of Success" mentally. Therefore, if these two mighty Capacity and reconcile with each other, there would be no case can not succeed because Vipassana other three Capacity weakened.

Those who do not understand the function and duties of As the Tuc ( iddhipada , Foundations of Success), the personnel ( indriya , Capacity Control) and the five powers ( bala ) do not understand why the Church ardently practiced their legal weaknesses and the opposing forces ( patipakkha ) attacked them. They have no understanding of the qualities of the mind that they must cultivate and therefore, the desire to cultivate the mind never come to them. That's why today the Traditional Practices of the Noble ( ariya-vamsa ) were to the brink of state authority disappeared.

Master (Ledi Sayadaw) for an example. There is a breed called  usabha . This valuable breeds a thousand times higher than cow. If you recognize the characteristics and specific signs of it and if it's taken care of properly nourished, legs and torso, it will bouncing big, strong and has a lot of capacity.It can be watched preserve and encircled the herd against hundreds of lions, tigers, leopards.

If the owner of such precious cows do not know its value and therefore do not look after the care and nurture adapt and still treat it like any other cows; it just started plowing, harrowing and sled pull with the cows often, these differentiating characteristics, torso, and legs it will not sloping strength and its enormous capacity lies dormant. So it will live and die just like other ordinary cows.

But the owner of understanding will feed cattle cows so good in a cage built separately, rain cover wind discreet support. They will experience a clean white sand to line the cage floor, high ceiling and close to the roof. They'll keep the cage clean, the cows eat the grain for people, and power wash the cow. In this case special signs, legs and torso, enormous cattle will sloping, strength and capacity of the cows will phenomenal growth.

In the current teachings of the Buddha, who rank  Neyya  [8] (must be guided) like cattle owners.Grade five powers who  Neyya  like cows  usabha . The classification of passages  Satipatthāna Vibhanga, Sammappadhana Vibhanga, Iddhipada Vibhanga, Indriya Vibhanga, bojjhanga Vibhanga, and Magganga Vibhanga  of Abhidhamma,  Abhidhamma Pitaka , as well as texts  Maha-Satipatthana-Sutta, Satipatthāna Samyutta, Samyutta Sammappa-Dhana, Iddhipada Samyutta, Indriya Samyutta, Bala Samyutta, and bojjhanga Samyutta  of Tripitaka like primer is presented, describing the different characteristics, specific signs of bovine type  usabha , the method had to look after and care cows nourished how, and if proper care is to look after the strength and capacity of the cows will turn out.

Those in grades  Neyya , because do not know, do not try to cultivate and develop the five powers of meditation and the like are satisfied with low achievements in the teachings of the Buddha as dana, sila (Bell, over gender) and learn scriptures, they like who owns a cow usabha without knowing how to care for and nurture.

In life there are many types of work to be done under the secular. Many things can be accomplished by the power of the property, and there is much work can be accomplished by the power of understanding.Until those farming also require many types of energy to complete. Sometimes, first needs the power of the property. Other times, must have the power of understanding. Basic teaching and learning constitute the initial strength of understanding.

Likewise, in the teachings of the Buddha, the five powers are essential for the work of Tranquillity meditation, Vipassana, and for the achievement of the Sacred Way, St Fruit and Nirvana. Only when previously this had accumulated five powers, complacency can complete the work. Those who do not have the capacity in the five powers can not arise the idea of doing this great work. the mindset that you can achieve the same important works in this life do not arise in them. They live a sloppy indifference and inconclusive. If someone just says that works can be done, they do not like to hear.They do not know that ideas arise wayward similar to them because obviously they lack mental incompetence. They blame the failure to hoard enough three-la-density ( parami ), or because born with only two units ( dvi-hetuka ), or because the time is not convenient. [9]

However, if these persons diligently solidly in a mindfulness ( satipatthàna ) as anniversary Breath (anapana sati ), and so firmly established the three Capacity Tin Tan and Mindfulness, another wayward thoughts make will certainly vanish. How has the new pure thoughts arise, because he has the power to create these thoughts.

Such strength was developed. Although unable to attain insight and understand the true nature of Excellence (Body) and List (Tam), Faith was the person weak growth through the practice of controlled Craving ( tanhà ) sexual desire peanuts ( paccayamisa ) and worldly achievements (lokamisa ). Diligent weak growth by controlling sloth. Weak growth concept by controlling Recitation (akusala in). Concentration and Wisdom and strength growth by controlling rooms booked and Si Me.When the Capacity growth was strong, sure to have the mind for the changes.

A person falls seriously ill surely are not interested in the facts and trivial activities of the world. But after a good teacher through medication or therapy and adaptive, severe illness gradually relieved, he goes beyond the state of indifference, and will definitely return to interest ordinary activities . Here in capacity immoral, ie greed, laziness etc .. important diseases like attack. Works four foundations of mindfulness practice ( satipatthàna ) as' Breathing, just good teacher or drugs and treatments adapted.The rest of the examples can be understood easily.

Therefore, the Buddha taught, "he expanded Credit Force, Tan Luc, Luc Mindfulness, Concentration and Wisdom Power Force". ( Saddhabalam bhaveti  .,.).

In this world, the strength of the masonry thanks to better use of tools such as punch, chisels, hammers, knives, saws etc .. Only when equipped with instruments he adapted well to complete the job do.Likewise, in the teachings of the Buddha, the instruments of Tranquillity meditation and insight (samatha  and  vipassanà ) to attain the Paths and the Fruits Tue Tue ( magga  and  phala-nana ) of Aryans included Tin Resource elaborately developed, Tan Luc, Luc Mindfulness, Concentration and Wisdom Force Forces ( bhàvanà-saddhà  etc ..) through cultivation practice Foundations of Mindfulness ( Satipatthana ) as Mindfulness of Breathing. This is the power five powers of meditation ( yogavacara ). Thus five powers must be cultivated and developed to complete fullness of Tranquillity meditation and Vipassana in the Teachings of the Buddha ( Buddha Sasana ). That is the meaning of the noun  bhaveti  (he cultivates ...) in the passage quoted above. END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.3/12/2016.
