Ba universal characteristic of life is an important part of the teachings of the Buddha. Like Four Soles, Career, Human Physical charm, the five aggregates, Three Australian Computer is a part of what we call the doctrine of intellectual content. In other words, when it comes to knowledge, understanding is already implied comes to wisdom, that this doctrine has always had in mind we.
Before each feature a survey, explain what they mean and they have interests in any way. First of all, a feature is and what is not a characteristic. A characteristic is the essential relevant with something else. Because the characteristics are associated with something else, it can tell us the nature of it. Let's take an example. The heat is characteristic of fire but not the characteristics of the country. The heat is characteristic of fire because of the heat of the fire always contact and does not change with fire. In other words, the heat of the water depends on external factors such as the electric stove, the heat of the Sun, etc. ... But the heat is the natural nature of the fire. In this sense, the Buddha used the word to refer to features facts about the nature of life, always related to life, and is always found in life. The Australian computer heat never also implicated with fire. So we can understand the nature of the fire from the heat. We know the fire is so hot. We know we use fire for cooking, heating, etc. The Australian computer heat for we know how fire, how to use it, and how to handle it? If we think of the characteristic of the heat contact with water, we can't use water because heat probably never in contact with the water. We can't cook food with water. We can not heating with water. So when the Buddha said there are three characteristics of life, He would like to say that the three properties are always present in your life, and help us to know what to do with your life.
Three characteristics of life has in mind is the nature of impermanence (Anicca), suffering (Dukkha) and anatta (Anatta). Three features are always available or contact with life, and let us know the nature of life. They help me know what to do with your life. The mind to let go is what we learn the order of the episodes as a result of the understanding of three properties. A when we comprehend are characteristic of life is impermanent, suffering and egolessness, we no longer nabagesera life. Once we removed the mind nabagesera into life, we come to the threshold of nirvana. Such is the research wing of the understanding of the three properties. It's invasive heart stick stuck by the mess except delusion misunderstood that life is permanent, is fun and to contact us. So, understanding the three properties is part of the intellectual content.
Let's take a look at the characteristics of life: impermanence. The concept is not only due to the impermanence of thought Buddhism acknowledges that the history of philosophy where same place admitted. The ancient Greek philosopher Heractitus stated I cannot step down the same river twice. Get this implies changing the nature and prospects of all things is a special recognition of Buddhism. In the Buddhist scriptures often speak to three very often as autumn clouds, mortal life as a Man Thinketh, and people such as lightning or the waterfall; This makes us understand all things are dominated by impermanence.
If we look at our own selves, we will see that our body infinitely often. Body of us change constantly. We become skinny, old, barren, long teeth, hair loss. If need any evidence about the impermanence of the body, we only look to the n c her picture on a driver or travel card taken from those years. Similarly, our mental state is also impermanent. Have fun at us, have us depressed. When we were little, we didn't know anything. When is time to life, we understand more. And then about the old, we lose the power of spiritual abilities and become like a child. Our mind is dominated by impermanence. This is also true with everything around us. Everything we see around us are impermanent. No one would be able to survive school: Temple, Office, River, Islands, mountains, seas, all of which are impermanent. We know that all the phenomena of nature, both to things seem to live for like a day that solar system will decline and turn down.
Changing process of all things-or General, internal or foreign, are quietly passed that we didn't get to see, and it has often intimately affects us every day. The relationship with other people is also dominated by characteristics of impermanence and change. You become enemies, and enemies become friends. Enemies become relatives and friends become enemies. If look closely into his life was over, we see impermanence already affects every contact between me with how other people. Our wealth is also impermanent. The things that we love as homes, vehicles, clothes, all things are impermanent. All things that are going to decline and disintegrates. So in the case of all our lives, whether they are people or material, whether envoys with others, whether wealth, impermanence is a fact proven by direct observation.
Understand impermanence does the important for us in the practice of the Dhamma which is also very important for our daily life. Love how many times have hurt or how termination because we do not accept the change of attitude or interest of people or their rights, etc. The broken marriages because one side or both sides does not note the change of the spouse. Such firepower is because we accept into his comments, not saw the change of the washing and the personality of friends and relatives should we fail in developing friendship in a positive way; and we lack mutual understanding.
Also, in business, or in social life, we cannot hope to succeed if we do not catch up the change of the situation, such as the dimension of the profession or discipline. In private or public life, if you want to do the work of a creative and effective way, we need to understand the nature of impermanence.
In addition to offering immediate benefits, impermanence is also an effective means to help us in the practice of the Dhamma. Impermanence is the release dose craving and anger. It's how we maintain tons of books. And finally, it is the key to understanding the nature and mostly computer universe.
The conception of death is regarded as friends, mentors for those who want to practice the Dhamma. Remember to death do we rot in the craving and anger. How many times have greater controversy, little disagreement, or the ambition. and hatred throughout the lifetimes have been faded and become meaningless thanks to aware of this inevitable death. Over the centuries, the teachers in Buddhist Ethics has encouraged people into emergency practice Dhamma should remember to death, remembered the impermanence of it.
A few years ago, we had a friend go to India to study meditation. He went to see a famous masters to learn meditation methods. Teachers don't want to teach him because of the lack of an emergency where he. Friends I beg many times. Finally the teachers told my friend: "He will die, be consistent about death". The Inn on the death of paramount interests. All we have to remember that the death is certain. From birth, we proceed straight to the death. Remember that, remember and remember that at death, wealth, family, fame is not what interests us, we direct the mind to practice Dhamma. We know death is absolutely sure. There is no one who can escape death.
However, death is certain, but the time and date of death is not certain. We can die at any time. Living for as light before the wind, or water balloons. It will dissipate at any time. It will be broken at any time. Understand that death can come at any time, right now when there are conditions and circumstances the practice of the Dhamma, we are rushing off to practice does not waste the opportunity and our precious lives.
In the end, understand impermanence helps us understand the nature of things. See all things will wither, changing every moment, we begin to sense that the material itself does not have a retained firmly. That in the US and in everything around us don't have something called self. So in this sense, is usually directly related to the third characteristic, characteristic of egolessness. Understand impermanence is the key to understand the egolessness. We'll talk more about the egolessness. Now, let's go to the second characteristic, characteristic of suffering.
The Buddha has said that anything that is suffering, impermanence and anything impermanent and suffering also is falling. Anything impermanent is suffering means infinitely often create opportunities for suffering. It is the chance of suffering that is not the cause of suffering if ignorance, craving, the seat remains. So, how are you? Because ignorance does not understand the essence of all things, we take part in and cling to objects with the vain hope that they will often remain, and we will be happy forever. Don't know the age, health, and life itself is also impermanent should we take part in and clinging to them. We try to keep the youth, extends life, but because they are impermanent by nature, and we missed our fingers like grains of sand. When this came to, impermanence is the chance of suffering.
Also, if we are not aware of the nature of impermanence of wealth, power, and prestige, we take part in and cling to them, and when they are no longer invisible, often bring suffering. Impermanence of all circumstances of reincarnation is a special opportunity for suffering born. Right now in the realms, it is said that Chu's Heavenly suffering larger ones also suffering of living beings in the world scene. When Chu heaven know its about to fall from the sky down to the lower realms. The headless Angel also tremble when the Buddha reminds notifications for them to know the impermanence. Because the experience delights which we took part and were clinging on impermanence, impermanence suffering and create opportunities for anything impermanent also are suffering.
Now we say to the third characteristic of life: characteristics of anatta, or not-is-of-ta, or no self. Such is the sense of one prominent feature in Buddhist thought and in the teachings of the Buddha. In the line of development of religion and philosophy of India in the final period, some schools of India has increased the teaching of meditation techniques and philosophy similar to the teachings of the Buddha. So the nest of Buddhist masters Teachers see the need clearly a feature very snugly khao in the differences between Buddhism and Hindi. The distinct feature of this is the doctrine of anatta.
Occasionally the Catechism egolessness there at seems to not clear because we deny what we. And then we say, "I'm talking", "I'm gone", "my name is, etc ... and so on ...," "I was the father or the son of someone", etc.... " So how can deny what "We"? To clarify this, we think it is important that we remember that Buddha denied the "Ta", is not a denial of the name "I" for convenience. Thats right over there is a concept of the disclaimer that "I" is a common entity and does not change.
When the Buddha taught the five elements (skandha) of the inner consciousness is not what we, and what we can't find out the five elements; He said that bringing the analysis of "We" did not match any nature or any entity. The Buddha used the example of a wagon and a forest to the correlation between the words "I" and the elements of the inner consciousness. He said words that car is just the name of a sum of the parts is pieced in a certain way. The wheel is not a car. Axle, the slopes of the car, etc ... is not that car. Also, a tree is not a forest, and trees don't have to a forest. No forest without trees. The word forest is just the name of a number of trees. On here talking about the Buddha denied that. The denying of the Buddha means denying the belief there is a real entity, independence and permanence that it symbolized by the word "I" (I). A nature usually must so remain independent, sovereign right as one of the master's spirit. The nature are usually longer, unchanging, not switch, but a nature usually longer and one I like could not find where it was.
The Buddha used the mind-body-separated ways as follows to show that "We" can not be found anywhere in the body or in the mind. The fuselage is not what we. If the stem is what we, the ones we are usually longer, do not change, do not decline, not disintegrates and not die. So the body can not be what we are. What we don't own home body as in the meaning of the sentence says we have the car or the television because what we cannot control that. Dear sick, old and tired in contrast what you desire. Many of the body's shape when it is not true to the things we desire. So it can't be said that what we have. What we do not stay in the body. If we search from top of head to toenail, we also couldn't find out where We are. What we do not stay in the bone, in the blood, in the bone marrow, in the hair, and saliva. What I can't find anywhere in the body.
Also, the mind is not what we. The mind changes constantly. The mind always whirring like the chimpanzee. At this Center, at another sad. so the mind is not what we as it is always changing. What we do not own the mind because the mind becomes energetically or disappointment in contrast to the things we desire. Although we know there are some real good and friendly ideology, but the mind just run by the charity and any thought he had left for the housing charity idea. So what we do not own the mind because the mind to act completely independent and not associated to the US. What we do not stay in the mind. Although we urgently search in mind, although we have our best try to search in the thoughts, feelings, and intentions, we couldn't find what we where.
Is there a way very simple exercises that anyone can do. We sit quietly for a while and look carefully into the trunk of our mind, we could not find what we in place thereof. To conclude what we still just the names of some synthetic elements. No, there is no soul, no substance, and no reinforcement-the core of the inner consciousness would separating the spiritual and material elements it always change, interdependence and impermanence as the feelings, opinions, thoughts, habits, and attitudes of the US.
Why we need need to deny the notion of what we? What beneficial when we rejected the notion of what we? We have the benefit of the two sides. First, in the life of our daily world, we become more creative, more comfortable, and more open. While firmly in what we accept, we as possible to protect, protect, property, reputation, stance and even to his words. But once the farmers give up loyalty to the independent and often what we did, we can be in contact with everyone, all other circumstances that do not feel embarrassed. Can we contact freedom, nature and creation. So radical was the penetrative egolessness, is help for our life.
More importantly, understand the anatta is the key to open the gate of enlightenment. Believe in Me is synonymous with ignorance, and ignorance is the basis of the three weapon box (taking part, and si). Once recognized, visualize or concept we are one entity, we create the right Cup of cockroaches, a division between us and the people and things around us. Once the notion of self, we meet with the people and things around us by preferred or aversion. In this sense, what we really are is a scoundrel. The perception that the US is the source of suffering, don't seek to prop, protect, and preserve it, and found that the denial of what we will end the suffering, why do we not try to fight and eliminate the notion of to-this Fall? Why don't we see inner consciousness is just a banana tree, an onion, and when we stripped each Steelhead a and then observe, critique and separates, we see that it is empty, no staff or a substantive core would, that it had no real ego.
When understanding that all things are impermanent, suffering, and egolessness, and knowing that this truth is not just knowledge or reasoning, which due to the tu study, meditation, and the events of impermanence, suffering and egolessness became a part of the experience right now. Do understand impermanence, suffering and egolessness, we freed the basic mistake was our confinement within birth and death. Such is the fallacy that all animals are usually longer, is fun and there is the ego. When the delusion is spit, wisdom arises. Just like when darkness no longer, light detection. And when wisdom arises, we experience peace and freedom of the nirvana.
On this we are just talking about inner consciousness within the mind. In the following article, we will go further to explain the inner consciousness of Buddhism in those elements of the material and spiritual universe.
-ooOoo-
ARTICLE XII-N SERVICE AGGREGATES (SKANDHA)
Ðthere is the last lecture of article 12 which we did together learning; and in this final lecture, we will talk about the doctrine of the five aggregates is good, tho, Thought, and Action. Said another way we look at the reason inner consciousness of Buddhism or the separation of Buddhism about personality.
Through the last lecture, we have stated that the tenets of Buddhism are viewed as very consistent with modern thought and life in the field of science, psychology, etc. This is also the case of the issue of separate inner consciousness on the five aggregates. The psychologist, spiritual study, special attention to this separation. In the separation of Abhidarma (Micro Magic) and in separate inner consciousness through the five aggregates, we see similarities with some psychological factors that science has discovered. The reason inner consciousness of Buddhism is a thorough evaluation of our understanding of things.
The basis of our study today is the broad and decanting filter say things in the last part of the previous sermon. Through the study the doctrine of service often, suffering and egolessness learned, we have said through how to explain both sides of inner body and mind. You recall we observe the mind to see two things that we can find are what we are, and we see what we in the body that is not in the mind. We conclude that We are just the name of a synthesis of the material and spiritual elements; just like that, "forest" is a synthesis of many trees.
In this article, we go further in part explains, instead of only separate inner consciousness within the mind, we explain the inner consciousness through the five aggregates.
First of all we consider Colors aggregates. Colors correspond to what we called the material or physical factors. It is not only correct our body, that is all the material things around us such as ground, sea, trees, buildings, etc. Especially the five aggregates and senses of Identity in the corresponding object. Five senses that is the eye and the object seen, ears and nose, and noise, and tongue, and user and contact objects.
But the factors that matter in itself is not enough to create awareness. Simple contact between the eye and the object seen, or between the ears and could not bring results to recognize that there is no Consciousness (Vijnana). The eye can combine with the object indefinitely does not create awareness. The ears also, exposed to a sound indefinitely does not create awareness. Only when conscious, five senses, and its audience in the same year new presence creating awareness. Said another way, when the eyes of the audience, the eyes, and the sense of the same operation, the awareness on the subject of new eye make up is so consciousness is a necessary element in creating awareness.
Before we consider the spiritual elements of inner consciousness, we like to talk about the existence of an object and its senses, it's officially Friday or the mind. Gíác this agency added five known senses: eyes, ears, tongue, and skin mủi. As well as the five senses all have corresponding physical object, the object of the mind it is thought or France. As in the case of the five physical senses, knowledge must be present to the mind and objects to create awareness.
Let's consider the mental factors of inner consciousness to see the sense of the change of the material elements into awareness of the spiritual elements. First of all, we must remember that consciousness is not just awareness, sensitivity before the object. For example when the physical factors such as eye and an object found was in contact with each other, and when the sense is also associated with this physical factor, sense of sight pullulate. That's just the awareness of an audience to see, not the inner consciousness; and this sense is created due to the activities of the three mental factors called Shou Aggregates, Aggregates and aggregates the Idea. The three aggregates on this operation to turn awareness into inner sense objects.
Shou aggregates (Vedana) or tho have three categories: life, club life gauge and discharge the life (like, don't like and neutral). When the subject is aware of this perception, choose one of the sensory life shades on, or the like, or not like it, or not do not gauge.
Now let's look at the idea of aggregates (Samjna). This aggregates are aggregates that are hard to understand for many people. When I spoke to thought in mind, we see works of admitting, or identity. In the mean time, we assign a name for the object. The function of the Idea is to change the awareness of not clear into an awareness of the clear and sure. Here we talk to the formula the perception of a thought about a particular object. We feel like there is an emotional element of excitement, not interested, or indifference; with the idea of aggregates, we speak a clear and certain ideas about the perception of objects.
Finally the action of the mind or UAN UAN. Aggregates are considered to meet the conditions with the awareness of the audience. In this sense, it is synonymous with the habit. We discussed the elements of mind when we consider the twelve ingredients of the Coast Staff. You remember, the mind is described as an impression was the previous action, and capacity of his accomplice from countless storage habits before make up. Here, too, is one of the five aggregates, aggregates, also held a similar role. It is not the static value, that it still has value as well as the response of the US are due to past behavior pullulate. Our answer here is the same dimension of Aggregates promote. So the seat or aggregates have a moral life-like dimension aggregates are aware of, and have the emotional dimension aggregates the idea. Have you noticed that we used the word seat and aggregates at the same time. The reason is that each of the two words he represents half the meaning of Reincarnation; symbolic capital by half in the past, and aggregates stands half current activities so your audience and Aggregates and their response to create the moral consequences of the meaning, or friendly or neutral.
Now we get to see the collaboration between the physical and mental elements that make up the inner consciousness. Want more clearly, let us take some specific examples. The following example session today you will take a walk in the garden. When you walk in the garden, your eyes will contact with an object clearly. When you notice it, you know the object's seen but not yet decided. Fantasy animal identification will see aggregates as a snake. You respond to this by Shou aggregates is not like or feel scared. And then you'll respond to this object by using the Action Center or aggregates that is running away or collect a rock. In all of our daily activities, we see five aggregates together how activities to form the inner consciousness. For example right at the contact between two aggregates: the sound of my voice and your ears. Formula of you get to know the sound of my voice. Identifying aggregates each idea my words. Shou aggregates in response to perceived as likes, dislikes or stops had left. Mind onions or aggregates in response to the reaction conditions such as sat, enchanted dreams or yawn. We can separate our inner consciousness through the five aggregates.
Have a need to remember about the nature of the five aggregates and aggregates all of the five aggregates is per are all in a State of change. The structural element Deeply aggregates impermanent and are always in a State of change. We have discussed this in the previous post as the stem will grow old, weak, ill, etc. Everything around us is also impermanent and changing constantly. Our feelings always change. Today we are happy in a situation. Tomorrow, we're upset with that situation. Today we perceive an object in a special way. Then, in different circumstances, our perception changes. In at twilight we see the rope is a snake. When the light of the torch on it, we recognize as the rope.
So, our Life and the objects of perception we always change and impermanence. So, aggregates also impermanence and change. We're changing habits. We practice to become generosity and compassion. We can reach to the ceiling and serene escape ideology, etc. Consciousness is also impermanent and always changing. Consciousness arises based on objects and senses. It cannot exist independently. As we have seen, all the physical and mental elements of the US, like the animals around us, the mind and ideas we are impermanent and changing ngững. All the aggregates are impermanent and always changing. They evolve, did not stand a tea. They are dynamic, not static.
Explain inner consciousness through the five aggregates to do? Split one entity into the five aggregates (good, tho, Thought, Action, formal) to do? The purpose of this analysis is to find the understanding of Anatta. The dress we like to reach is the discovery that the world is not built on or around the notion of an ego. We want to see the formation of inner consciousness is just the progress of the objective function and not of the ego. We want to see what a good influence for the Fall when the attitude of self in, an attitude that helps us win surfing the agitated about hopes and fears. We wish happiness, we are afraid of suffering. We look forward to applause, we fear being yelled at his rebuke. We look forward, we fear losing. We want to be more anonymous, we fear, the bad bearing. We live amidst desires and fears. We experience the desires and fears that, because we know happiness or suffering through the notion of an ego. We understand them as happiness or misery of our own, such as compliment your own cooking, etc. Once we understand them objectively, and when has smoothly, we will eliminate the thought of the Ego, we'll win surfing is desire and fear. We can consider the happiness and suffering, praise and rebuke, and other things with the attitude of self in calmness, nonchalantly, not how soon we will no longer be dependent on staggered between desire and fear.

THE CONCLUSION
Trong conclusion section we would like to spend some time to reflect on what we have learned in the past time and contact them with what we can do now and in the future.
The Buddha's true teachings and profound truth. True, in the past few weeks, we just aimed at the study of a basic part of his teachings, and that is just the surface. But you see we've included quite a lot, and you also feel unable to practice was all of what was discussed. Right then, it is said that now a recluse secluded place is also hard to practice the basic teachings of the Buddha. For those women left the busy life of renunciation, their difficulties is not small. However if anyone into an urgent hone and practice some of the Buddha's teachings, that person will succeed in creating a more meaningful life. In the future people will certainly have more favorable circumstances to conduct maintenance Chief and finally achieve liberation.
Anyone can achieve the ultimate goal of Buddhism, whether homeless or monks. The dress is essential we practice an emergency Chief Ethics Bowl. Those who understand the truth as the Buddha Sakyamuni and the Australian Ðệ of Him, not to do that. They are not the ones from the sky as rain water fall down, they don't have to like the seed in the ground. The Buddha and his disciples also is the divine wife as you and I. They were also distressed by these defilement of the soul as taking part, and si. Thanks to practice French Chief Justice, thanks to the purity and chemical jobs, thanks to the open mind, and thanks to the attainment of wisdom, they have freed, and become the Messiah can both teach and help others understand the truth. So, if we practice the Buddha's teachings, surely we can also achieve the ultimate goal of Buddhist Ethics. We can also the Buddha and the Australian Ðệ of Him.
Not avail if only listen and read. Also, do not survive if only written French, or French theory without practice. Some of us consider themselves Buddhists, want to have good results, so his self assessment. If we find the practice the Buddha's teachings in the past year have more or less the change in quality (though only a little change only), we understand that the doctrine has been somewhat effective. If all of us work, we will certainly achieve the benefits. If we are to avoid to hurt other people, if we're out of his help others out at any time, if we learn to nurture lifelong claim mindfulness, learning how to work to expand the ability to focus the mind, cultivate wisdom by learning, using, and consistent meditation Assoc. sure France will bring benefit for us.
French Chief Justice leads us to happiness and prosperity in this life and the hereafter. French Chief Justice finally leads us to the ultimate goal is free, and cuu school bliss of nirvana.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/8/2017.
