ECONOMIC LESSONS OF LICENSE IMPORTANT FOCUS BASED ON BREATHING.
I heard something like this , then who Bhagavan was staying in the town of Savatthi (Xa-defense, the capital of Kosala / Kieu-slap-la one of six cities the largest in the valley of the Ganges at daicua Buddha , today in the state of Uttar Pradesh ) , where the gardens to the east, in the manor of mothers're Migara (mothers of you Migara - Migaramata - a layman royal line , very enthusiastic and exemplary , considered by Buddha to be the leading female Sangha . She lived to the age of 120 ) , along with the monks veteran and famous disciple - such as Mr. Sariputra / Xa-profit-waving, Mr. Maha-Moggallana / Ma-ha Maudgalyayana, Mr. Maha-Kassapa / Ma-ha Ca-lettuce, Mr. Maha- Kaccana ( came from a family noble Brahmin, has been in charge of the rituals of religion in the court of king Candapajjota in the capital of Avanti. king Candapajjota hear who Bhagavan was staying at Savatthi, came sent Maha Kaccana with seven others here to invite the Blessed One to visit the capital Avanti, After arriving in Savatthi and listening to the Exalted preaching , all eight of delegation are pleased to make disciples of Him ), he Maha-Kotthica ( a disciple of the Buddha , very erudite about logic, in Increase Best of Beijing , AN I, 24 have said to this position ), his Maha-Kappina ( a disciple of the Buddha has achieved the rank Arahant / Arhat. business Jataka / Bon born of having said to the disciples of this ), he Maha-Cunda / Maha Thuan momentum, a great disciple , sister of Xa-profit-Phat, comes in many Suttas such as the Increase of the Sutta AN 6.46, Samyutta Nikaya , SN 1.5, etc., this person is not a goldsmith or a blacksmith (?) also named Cunda / Pure momentum referred to in the Great Bowls. Nirvana ), Mr. Revata /Ly-ba-da, the youngest son of Xa-profit-waving, a great disciple of Buddha who attained the rank of Arahant / A-la-Han) , Ananda / Ananda rock, disciple servant and assistant Buddha ), and numerous disciples elders and famous others ( texts recounted The presence of the discerning and famous disciples in the Sangha during this lecture of the Buddha is intended to raise the authenticity of the sutta . In the first assembly held nine months after the Buddha 's passing away , a large number of the above disciples were present as witnesses to the authenticity of this sutta , except for the two Sariputra and Moggalana. passed away before the Buddha shortly) .
On this occasion the aged bhikkhus took over the teaching and directions . Some preach and instruct a group of about ten new bhikkhunis; others preached and instructed another group of about twenty new bhikkhunis; others preached and instructed another group of about thirty new bhikkhunis; others preached and instructed another group of about forty new bhikkhunis. Taught and instructed by mature monks, newly joined monks gradually attain real levels of realization . great (way described above shows the atmosphere of teaching and learning very zealous monks between veteran and new monks joined the Sangha ) .
Also on this occasion and also on the full moon day of Uposatha, the fifteenth day of the full moon, and also the Pavarana ( Uposatha literally means "Full Moon" and also the most important day of the month for Buddhism because it is the The Buddha attained Enlightenment , and the Uposatha full month of the month is a feast day, and this ceremony can last from one to four days.In these days home practitioners have to reduce manual work in order to time care for life spirit , such as to preserve the rule more seriously, if voluntarily keep the five precepts then during these days, we must observe the eight precepts and we have to go to the temple to worship Buddha . Who ordained where monasteries and temples - at Buddha 's caves or shelters which the secular set up to help those who "abandon" the family rain sun - they must ceremony of repentance , to self- vigilance and remind each other about maintaining discipline . The repentance ceremony is actually just a meeting , people take turns to make precepts and self-reflection, each person has to review each of his or her thoughts , emotions, intentions , words and actions to see if it violates any discipline ? During the year, each full moon brings its own name, and this name is also used to call each month, or to call occasions that coincide with the full moon days. For example in the scriptures above mentions Pavarana full moon day, the fifteenth day of the final mark the date termination of seasonal summer retreat , meaning of this term is from the chapter "Wish fullness". The next full moon day is then the fourth month after three months the feast is the full moon of Komudi, coinciding with Kathina, also known as the offering of Y ), the Blessed One sits outside, surrounded by the Sangha. Looking at the monks who were quietly listening, the Blessed One spoke to them as follows:
"Hey monks, I am very satisfied with allowing this practice, I am very satisfied from the heart to allow this practice. So monks should also perseverance and enthusiasm brought to practice , almost Lens thoroughly what no insight , achieve what has not achieved , done what has not done it. I will also save the town of Savatthi this one more month until the full moon day "white lotus", ie every month from [after three months of summer ] of this rainy season " . (According to the original Pali text , the Buddha said, "I will stay until Komudi." The Komudi word comes from the kumuda word and means "white lotus", many translations into languages. The West is called the "white waterlily" month, the reason may be because Westerners often cannot distinguish between water lilies and lotus flowers . Komudi Day is also the full moon day of the "fourth" month after three. month summer retreat , which is the month, "Wednesday" after the three-month rainy season, around October or 11 calendar. In the Vietnamese translation of the Venerable Thich Minh Chau then this sentence is translated as: "I will be here, at Savatthi until April , Komudi ...". Translation of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh summarizes this sentence as follows: "Now here, the day of the full moon in April ...". Both the translation is not accurate , because in April not to the rainy season in the valley of the Ganges , where this monsoon climate similar like South Vietnam , thus can not be after season summer retreat is. All translation into the language of Western were references are translated month Wednesday . Also according to the translation of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh , the Buddha said , "... went to the full moon day in April," which means the season was the summer retreat one month. But the Buddha said to the question above on Pavarana occasions, and also the fifteenth day of last season's summer retreat , is to inform the Sangha that you will save more Savatthi a month after three months of the summer retreat . This decision of the Buddha set a precedent and later became a custom known as Kathina, also known as the offering, will be explained further in the footnote below. In the above passage the Buddha tells about the importance of the sutta that I will teach and announces my decision to stay in Savatthi for another month . )
[The texts original lectures oral tradition , so often personality constantly , not disconnected each segment , so it is difficult to track . Translators Westerners often segment the texts and put the sub in order to help readers to track more. The translation below borrows paragraphs and sub-titles from translations of monks Bhikkhu Thanissaro, Bhikkhu Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi]
Buddha and the Sangha
The monks all over the country after hearing the news : ' The Blessed One will stay in Savatthi for the whole month of the "White Lotus" (Komudi), which means the end of the fourth month after three months of the rainy season, "and together they pulled together. came to Savatthi to personally meet the Blessed One . The disciples elders ( the disciples veteran and erudite often beside the Buddha also stay on ) to continue taking turns preaching and guidance [for the monks the new pulled to] , engrossed more before. Some of them preach and instructed about ten bhikkhus, some lectured and instructed another group of about twenty monks, others lectured and instructed another group about thirty monks, some monks Another preached and directed to another group of about forty monks. Being taught by senior monks and instructing new monks to reach higher levels of awareness .
On this occasion - the full moon day of Uposatha and also the fifteenth day of the full moon in the month of the "White Lotus" (Komudi), the full moon day of the fourth month after three months of the rainy season - the Blessed One sitting outside - surrounded is the Sangha . Looking at the whole Sangha group silently listening, the Blessed One spoke to them as follows:
"Hey monks, the meeting was not bragging things in vain , to remove things frivolous , necessarily only talk to each other about what pure and core ( in the original language PA li is the word "sara", that is the core solid, such as the "core" of a "trunk" ) only: a Sangha so new right is a Sangha , a meeting such a new right is a meeting, a sangha so new right is a gift worthy, a care worthy, a dedication worthy, a respect worthy, it is creating the world's this one elected space morality nothing equals : that is the Sangha in today's meeting .
Although the meeting is only a small gift, when it is given to the donation, it will become bigger, once it becomes bigger, it will continue to become bigger: it is is the Sangha in today's meeting . A meeting like hard fruit found on earth this: but there is also a meeting of the Sangha today. Such a meeting was rare in this world , having to bring food and leave thousands of miles to hope found it " ( probably in the seventh century Xuanzang / Xuanzang monks had to wade to India , and then in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Westerners built ships thousands of miles to colonize the colony. , has discovered a gift invaluable save from a meeting that more than twenty-five centuries? Under a different perspective, the teachings on this affordable is also the words of warning of the Buddha of longevity and growth of the Teachings of his later, even if it Going through so many challenges?) .

[Above are the four levels of success brought about by practice , arranged in order from high to low, Chinese-language scriptures called "four holy fruits". Following are the methods and practice paths ]
"In this Sangha there are bhikkhus who take care of practicing in the four areas of attention ( body, feeling , consciousness , mental phenomena and Sino-Vietnamese scriptures called" Satipatthana).

[Here texts started to raise part mainly allows practice of focusing awareness based on breath ]
The focus of awareness based on breathing in and out
"In the Sangha are monks diligent practice of focused awareness ( mindfulness /" mindfulness " ) is based on breathing in and out .
"The focus of awareness based on breathing in and out if promoted and maintained regularly will bring great results and many benefits . The focus of awareness based on breathing in and out if caught maintaining and maintaining regularly will help realize the "Four Aspects of Attention" ( also known as the "Satipatthana Sutta" in Chinese-language texts, including: focusing on the body, feeling , consciousness and phenomena). statue mental. This concept has been raised in the texts of "The attentive awareness" / satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, Central Business MN.10) at peak levels. "Four areas of attention" if promoted and maintained regularly will bring the "Seven elements of Enlightenment" (Awakened chi / Bojjhanga) at the ultimate level. "The Seven Elements of Enlightenment", if promoted and maintained regularly, will bring " Transparent understanding " ( Wisdom ) and "Liberation" at the ultimate level .
"So how to promote and maintain the attention based on the breath in and out, in order to bring the" Four areas of attention "to the ultimate level?
"This is the case of a bhikkhu looking for a secluded place, in the shade of a tree or in a deserted hut , sitting cross-legged, keeping his body upright, focusing his attention on the front ( why to find a quiet place, cross-legged and sitting still? It is just because of the external environment , the body and the mind are connected with each other , context stillness, body estate will help the mind less distractions and focus easier). to promote the awareness when inhaled , promote awareness every time I exhale .
1 - When breathing in long, the Bhikkhu-stilts are aware : 'I breathe in long', when exhaled long, also conscious : 'I exhale long'.
2 - When inhaling short, the Bhikkhu-stilts are aware : 'I breathe in short', when short breath is also aware : 'I exhale short'.
3- The monks inhaled and collective awareness is breathing on her on the body can, and when exhaling , the episode also recognize is breathing out that on the whole body can ( respiration was also seen as a form wake sensation / feeling or an "artifact of the body" / body fabrication, sense or the creation of works that create a perception or feeling on the body ) .
4. The monks collective inhale and sense : 'I breathe in so doing settles the creation effects on the body' ( such as itching, discomfort and so that the generated effects on the body , focus real awareness on the breath will reduce the creation work there) , when exhaling , the collective well aware : 'I breathe out almost as settles the creation effects on the body'.
5 - The Bhikkhu-stilts practice breathing in and consciousness : 'I breathe in to feel joy' ( rapture, excitement, joy ) , when exhaling , also practice consciousness : 'I exhale almost emotionally receive joy '( for example, realize that you are "living", exchanging your life with the movement of nature and the universe .) That consciousness speaks of respect and love. our own life and that of all sentient beings , reflected the relationship and the interplay between oneself and the universe , that consciousness will bring us joy , serenity and comfort : think of the second of the four qualities of the mind - still called "the four immeasurable mind" - is "the joy") .
6. The Bhikkhu-stilts practice breathing in and being aware : 'I breathe in to feel pleasure ' ( pleasure / pleasure) , when I exhale, I will practice consciousness : 'I exhale in order to feel the amused '( such as feeling pleasant and pleasant - bringing about refreshment and vitality through the exchange of the impurities in our bodies and the fresh air of the universe, for example. )

8- The monks collective inhale and sense : 'I breathe in so doing settles the creation effects of mental', when exhaling , the collective well aware : 'I breathe out almost as settles the creation effects mental '( attention provinces giacvao breath - "mindfulness" - will settle to the impact caused by the production of the spirit , that is the thinking , emotion and volition are stirring in the mind me)
9- The monks collective inhale and sense : 'I inhale almost feel the mind' ( ie recognition by the mind alone is present and operational ) , while exhaling , the episode also conscious ' I exhale to feel the mind. '
10- The bhikkhu inhales and practices consciousness : 'I breathe in to bring harmony ( peace ) to the mind', when breathing out also practice consciousness : 'I exhale to bring humor peace for the mind '.
11- The Bhikkhu breathing in and practicing consciousness : 'I breathe in to bring stability ( calm, balanced, not disturbed and bewildered) to the mind', when breathing out , also practice consciousness : 'I exhale to bring stability to my mind'.
12. The monks inhaled and collective consciousness : 'I breathe in almost letting go of consciousness', when exhaling , the collective well aware : 'I breathe out almost let go of the mind' ( detachment here means is not clinging to any thoughts , emotions or effects that arise inside the mind )
13. Person monks inhaled and collective consciousness : 'I breathe in almost focus on impermanence', when exhaling , the collective well aware : 'I breathe out mostly focused on impermanence' ( the word "impermanent "is the literal translation of" anicca "in texts original language Pa-li, monk Thanissaro Bhikkhu translate this term as" indeterminate "/ inconstance, in cases where this can be understood as nature ephemeral and transitory of the investment only , emotion and intention ; they appear , exist and disappear within the mind . In the case of the translation of the word anicca as "impermanent", this word will have a broader meaning , that is , the "indeterminate character" not only relates to the thoughts , emotions and thoughts within the mind. but also the ephemeral character of all phenomena / dhamma outside the mind , the surroundings, including the body, sensations caused by contact between the senses and the objects. their senses) .
14. The monks inhaled and collective consciousness : 'I breathe in almost focus on disenchantment', when exhaling , the collective well aware : 'I breathe out mostly focused on disenchantment' ( awakening here means awakening or awakening, that is no longer craving or clinging to any anything else , because everything is impermanent ; word disenchantment is translated from the word "viraja" in texts original language Pali, this word means chapter is "not dirty". The monk Thanissaro Bhikkhu translates as dispassion / no desire or lust , but he also notes in the brackets that the word means chapter words fading / fading, fading. According to a few other Pali dictionaries further investigated , this word also means "not polluted or entangled by cravings" / free from defilement or passion. The reason for the long lines is to remind people to meditate after shop see the characteristics of impermanence and uncertainty of all phenomena within the mind, on the body as well as outside the world , we should not stop at that feeling but must "wake up" or "wake up" to let them go . Therefore, not only "mindfulness" is enough, but "awakening" and "letting go" ).

"That is the way to promote and maintain regularly the focus of awareness based on breathing in and out, almost bringing the truly enormous and many benefits .
[Here texts began presenting details about the object of attention awakening above]
Four areas of attention
So how to promote and maintain regularly the focus of awareness based on slightly thovao and out (anapanassati) almost done "Four areas of attention" ( satipaṭṭhāna / "Satipatthana" ) at climax?
1 - No matter what the situation , every time a person breathes in long, the bhikkhu becomes aware : 'I breathe in long', every time I breathe out , I am also aware : 'I exhale long', every time I breathe in the consciousness is short : 'I breathe in short', when breathing out , the consciousness : 'I exhale short'. The bhikkhu is conscious : 'I inhale and exhale to feel the breathing on the whole body ' aware : 'I breathe in and breathe out almost as settles the creation effects of mental'. During those practices the monk always maintains an attention focused on the body within the body - enthusiasm, alertness, and insight - setting aside all attachment and anxiety related to the world. .
"Monks, I tell the bhikkhus that the " inhale and exhale "event is a physical form similar to other physical forms ( breathing is a form operation of the body, so it can assimilate it with the body inside the body. the body is the "object" or "realm" of allowing the first practice of the attention ).
"In times such training monks who maintain the focus on the body, inside the body ( the feeling show up on the body - such as hot and cold, discomfort, itching, fatigue ... even though it is related to the body but not the body, focusing on the body "within the body" is a way to help us separate from the above feelings , even though they relate to the body but not the body. corpse, in other words this is a way of making the body "motionless" and "emotionless" ) - with all enthusiasm, alertness, and insight - setting aside everything. clinging and sadness related to the world .
"Hey monks, I told the monks that event inhale and exhale it also can be considered as a possible form of the body of the can shape the body other, and there is also the reason why people monks in times of exercise it, to maintain the attention directed at the body from inside the body - very enthusiastic, alert and lucid - put aside all the lust and grief related to the world .
2- "No matter what the circumstances , every time you inhale ... or exhale ..., the bhikkhus also feel the excitement through each breath ; the bhikkhu practices: ' I breath in ... and exhale ... in order to bring me pleasure '; the bhikkhu practices:' I breathe in ... and exhale ..., in order to perceive creation. mental effects'; people monks practice: 'I breathe in ... and breathe out ..., that do settle to the creation effects of mental' .
"During those practices the monk focuses on feelings ( feelings, that is, those that appear on the body, and these are also the second objects or areas of attention ) within the senses. sense - with all the enthusiasm, alertness, and wisdom - put aside all the cravings and sorrows associated with the world ( meaning putting aside the relationship between the body and the world , such as beautiful , ugly , old , young, slender , fat, short ..., the whole body only has breaths .)
"Hey monks, I told the monks that the event " focusing very keen on breathing in and out ", it can show a sense of the feeling of the other ( in the areas of focus first on here that is the body, the Buddha said , "inhaling and exhaling" as well as the body. in the field Monday ie the focus on the feeling of the event "inhaling and exhaling" is also a sensory form , similar to the sensory form other ), and it is also the reason why the monks of the time practice was to maintain the focus on the feeling inside the feeling - with all enthusiasm, conscious and lucid - put aside all the lust and grief concerning the world ( such as pain , discomfort, frustration , hot , sweet, loud , mellow ..., the feeling only mere are breaths only) .
3- "No matter what the circumstances , every time I inhale ... or exhale ..., the Bhikkhu-stilts are also aware : 'I breathe in and out in order to feel the mind'; Bhikkhu-stilts practice: 'I breathe in ... and exhale ... in order to help the mind to be in harmony ( calmly ); bhikkhus practice:' I breathe in ... and exhale ..., in order to bring stability ( stillness, balance, no disturbance ) to the mind ; the bhikkhu practices: 'I breathe in ... and breathe out ..., that helps the mind to let go '( keep calmness and serenity , not to cling to the creation of the spirit ).
"During those practices the monk focuses on the mind within the mind - with all his enthusiasm, alertness, and insight - setting aside all the desires and anxieties associated with the world .
"Bhikkhus, I do not speak of the concentration of awareness based on breathing in and out which can be done by a person with a confused and unconscious mind . That's why the monk- During these practices, one must focus on the mind within the mind ( that is, focus on the purest and simplest form of the mind in order to help us to free ourselves from thoughts , emotions and Italy , collectively known as mental artifacts . Although it depends on the mind , it appears in the mind , but these things are not the mind . They are simply perceived objects of the mind , so they can be seen as just what "pollutes" the mind . Focusing on these things will make the mind fall into a state of confusion and lack of awareness . Chasing those things or seeing them as real is ignorance . All of these are the consequences of karma remaining in the mind of action with the feel of hexagons. Flapper chaos that includes thinking , emotion and volition are often identified with the "self", "ego" or the "soul" of an individual ) - with all the enthusiasm, alertness and lucid - put aside all the lust and grief concerning the world ( all the taotac mental but pops up in mind , depending on the mind , but not the mind ; if "uncle deep in mind the mind inside the mind "the meditator will only feel the breaths coming in and out, the mind becomes the breathing itself ).
4 - "Whatever the situation , whenever I breathe in ... or exhale ..., the bhikkhu is well aware : 'I breathe in ... and exhale ..., to help me focus on impermanence '( meaning to be aware of the uncertainty of the thoughts , emotions and effects in the mind and the ephemeral nature of phenomena in the world ); : 'I inhale ... and exhale ... to help me pay attention to the awakening '( awakening to perceiving the uncertainty and fleetingness of all phenomena from within the mind to the outside of the world ); the bhikkhu practicing:' I breathe in ... and exhale ..., to help me focus on the suspension '( stop ceasing attachment to ephemeral things); the bhikkhu practices: 'I breathe in ... and exhale ..., in order to help me focus on letting go' (separate myself from the world) phenomenon , that remains associated himself with the world just simply are lanes breath only).
"During those practices the bhikkhu focuses on the" mental phenomena "within the" mental phenomena "- with all his enthusiasm, alertness and insight - setting aside everything lust and grief concerning the world . the monks recognize true flair is to let go of all the lust and grief, must consider this carefully those things with all serenity. that is why why does a monk during those practices have to keep his attention focus on "mental phenomena" within "mental phenomena" - with all enthusiasm, alertness and wisdom - setting aside all the desires and sorrows associated with the world .
( The above segment in the original text in Pali has a difficult term to comprehend as "dhammavicaya", the meaning of the chapter is "approach to phenomena" - vicaya suffix means to approach, analyze , judge / Investigation, analysis, and discrimination; money terms dhamma has many meanings and in case this means that the phenomenon / phenomena. scriptures Chinese language translates it as "legal" (法), with means from the program is laws , rules , rules ... so okay reflected by significant complexity and diversity of the dhamma teachings Buddhism. In the translations of the above sutta into Western languages , the word dhammavicaya is translated quite differently: "mental phenomenon", "mental object", "access to mental objects" ... , the only only monks Thanassaro Bhikkhu translated "of the computer center gods" / "mental qualities. Indeed word dhamma also means" qualities "/ quality, and in case this can be understood as the product calculated to bring wise to mind , such as the focus of awareness directed at four areas of the body, feelings , the mind and its perceived objects such as the four foundations of mindfulness , the four mental powers , the seven elements of enlightenment , the four noble truths / the four noble truths , etc., The translation of the word dhammavicaya are " calculate interest god "but carry significantly narrow but clear than the word" phenomenon " mental . However, this word is also the most difficult word to identify in the sutta , and has also been mentioned in another sutta , "The Sutta of the Attention of Mindfulness" / Satipatthana Sutta / "The Satipatthana Sutta", Trung Bộ Kinh , MN 10) .
"That is the way to see why the focus of awareness based on breathing in and out, if promoted and maintained regularly may help shop received the" Four areas of focus "( " Satipatthana " ) at the top rank.
Seven Factors of Enlightenment ( Interior enlightenment )
"So how to promote and maintain " Four areas of attention "to bring" Seven elements of Enlightenment "?
1- "Whatever the circumstances , the bhikkhu must keep his attention focused on the body inside the body - with all his enthusiasm, alertness and wisdom - setting aside all desires and grief concerning the world . In the rehearsal that "the focus of awareness" ( mindfulness / "mindfulness ") of the monks will become stable , not a shred of loopholes. When "the focus of awareness" of the monks has become stable , not a shred of loopholes, then " attention aware "that the status is a factor of enlightenment will also begin to show up with her. The monks continued to promote more, help it achieve to form peak inside yourself ( ie, created for himself factors One: "the focus of awareness" / sati - original classics called Chinese language factors the first is "mindfulness")
2. "The monks continued to maintain " the focus of awareness, "just the way that will help her introspection and analysis of qualities that almost gives her an understanding of true transparency to itself ( ie is "focused awareness" with as an element of enlightenment ). When had done was "the focus of awareness," just the way it helped her introspection and analyze the qualities that virtually gives her an understanding of true transparency of itself, the ability to "analyze the qualities" (in the English translation by Thanissaro Bhikkhu this text is analysis of quality) with as a factor Enlightenment will also start to be agitated ( words easier to understand than when promoting "the focus of awareness" as a "weak whistleblower enlightenment" then people monks also develop the ability to shop to see or recognize is essentially true of all phenomenon : such as impermanence and an entity of them - most do not cling on them. The original Chinese-language scriptures call this enlightenment element "the dharma method"!). People monks continue to promote more, help it achieve to form peak inside yourself ( not just understand or feel the nature of impermanence and an entity of the phenomenon is enough but to integrate themselves with the nature of impermanence and an entity that every phenomenon ).
