The Buddha taught in the Mindfulness Sutra as follows: "Hey monk! Because pure beings, because of drainage afflictions, because extinction of suffering, because to enter the base, because attained nirvana, a unique way, which is Mindfulness. "
A. L O Introduction
"Education and awareness" in addition to learning to understand the theoretical teaching, the most important thing is the need to practice self-nurture and grow the capacity of awareness, to see all things as they really are, not been distracted by external appearances, wisdom and compassion to face and solve these problems happen in life.
To understand in more detail, this awareness took the fullness that the Buddha had to do the teaching themselves to education awareness. Based on this, I temporarily set up three main issues: First, practice guidelines and the second point, practice, Tuesday, to discuss curriculum and practice after graduation.
2. Raw t experimental battery
In the Pali texts of India, the Buddha taught: "Dharma is in this life, not waiting anywhere else, come to that show, he is teaching the user the ability to attain the upper body and self." This that is, all the doctrines and methods of education can cultivate evidence Buddha in this life, as can be practiced at all times, everyone can see, that is oriented inwards to identify clearly his own body and mind, aims to eradicate suffering, self-attained enlightenment.
Besides the above sense, practical principles of education and awareness need to bring common nature, nature feasibility, safety emptiness, emptiness and emptiness sequential performance. Therefore, the practice of enlightenment always suit everyone, all ages, all racial identity, all levels, all classes, all nations, to all regardless of religion, without any ritual or form at all. In each of us, anyone can practice, and have achieved the same result.
3. Ph national legal practice
The Buddha taught in the Mindfulness Sutra as follows: "Hey monk! Because pure beings, because of drainage afflictions, because extinction of suffering, because to enter the base, because attained nirvana, a unique way, which is Mindfulness. " In this paragraph Buddha gave the only way to eradicate suffering is the practice of Mindfulness, the practice is based on the concept itself, life concept head, recite the head office and legal concepts. The following discussion of each expenditure.
(1) Awareness of individual body movements
Mindfulness know every movement of the body, y is anything to Mahasatipatthana Head, Buddha said: "Monks going, know what you're going and when to stand, said he was standing and when sitting, know that you are sitting and when lie knew I was lying. This body in any state, we know we are mindful that state. " The meaning of the scriptures teach us to know clearly practiced each movement of the body, maintaining mindfulness is aware of the movements of yourself, then awareness is always present.
In addition, the Buddha taught: "This monk! Know exactly when out on; when viewed before viewing; when there body when stretching; when y decisively, over a bowl; when eating, drinking, chewing, savoring the taste, when defecation and urination; when walking, standing, lying , sit, sleep, consciousness, speech or silence all know exactly clear. " That is, each practitioner always practice mindfulness as look ahead, look after; as definitive health, always conscious over the bowl ... his actions regardless of the day or night. If we practice continuously without interruption, it will achieve the fullness of mindful awareness.
(2) Awareness of vapor breathing
Buddha says: " Doan serious physical, mindful dwells in front, when the breath in mindfulness, mindfulness while breathing out. " That is, we must know the practice of mindfulness while breathing in and, to our mind not to return to the past, not the future we seek, but only dwells where breathing mindfully in the present moment.
(3) Awareness of feelings
The Buddha taught: " monks feel optimistic when received, and he received that are feeling optimistic and when life get hard feeling, and he received that are feeling pain; when received not feel happy nor unhappy , and he received that are not feeling happy nor unhappy. " yogi always dwell mindfully aware of the sensation is happening right here in the present moment, without starting any other mental states such as greed or airport anger and other psychological types.
(4) Awareness of mind
The Master had taught: "monks centered greed, as it is known that the heart desires, when separated from the mind desires to know as it is separated from the heart desires; when anger arises, they know as it is with anger, when separated from your anger, know as it is separated from anger; confusion arises when the mind, know as it is centered delusion arises, when separated mind ignorance, they are true heart-like leaves ignorance. " The experience showed us on that practitioner awareness in mind always looked good and biomass, to eliminate the immoral, good development in mind . In general, one always clearly reflect the true minister of the mind, with such new practitioners come to rid afflictions, Nibbana.
The above has introduced the practice of four different awareness, awareness of body, awareness of breath, awareness of feelings, awareness of the mind. Each method has its own advantages Vietnamese, but the practice in which the body is suitable for new meditators practice the initial stage, because the contemplation of the breath is very subtle, and the concentration monitoring each exhalation, one will no longer pay attention to that idea around. When I reflect on the life and mind, to make the new practice is not focused awareness that idea was to start. So I will focus to discuss the practice of body awareness.
4. Reviews further discusses awareness of each movement of the body
Man is an animal so active all day, so we take advantage of this exercise to practice awareness is a very skillful. But in life most people think that idea alone, are not aware in the present moment for any and all life-changing dong.Vi want to practice awareness, training methods based on the teachings of the German Buddha is always mindful of every action, if any capacity in each act of awareness of his own gesture, the awareness that will always grow. Awareness is the capacity to know his ideas, and know the true form of his own body and mind.
If we find the cause of suffering, it can detect is due to impure thoughts, thoughts arise. There are two ideas: First not mastered the concept, called impure thoughts or thoughts. Just like anger, greed, ignorance, fear, jealousy ... what kind of idea as such, makes us pain. The second can master the concept, the idea of ​​this type is called "natural idea" that is aware aware of the concept arises in the present moment, this kind of idea does not make our suffering. For example, every day when we sweep the house, washing clothes or any action which also awareness, this is a natural idea, the idea of ​​this kind only bring benefits without jeopardizing anything . In life we ​​need to foster this kind of idea.
We often rejected the idea first enclosure, making greed, hatred, delusion always arise, leading to pain. A proven fact shows us that more and more angry to think it, because the thoughts should arise at any time, do also have received the results of the suffering.
Only when the capacity of our awareness grows, it can get to know new ideas, have no such idea was new, engaging thoughts. Awareness as well as small cats, thoughts like large rats. The yogi does not practice awareness, awareness is very weak initially, always mindful practice to be able to grow, as awareness of maturity then thoughts will be dominated, like the small cats, times times will grow, when they have grown cat can catch mice. Therefore, the importance of practice is to practice continuous no interruption, like the cat that always find themselves, not to look to the mouse, the big cat then it will naturally know how to mouse handling. Therefore, when practicing, we should not force institutions thoughts, thoughts do not run, but just focus on mindful reflection on each action. Once we have strong capacity and awareness, all concepts can arise immediately known, to eliminate greed, hatred and evil mind transformed into good mind.
Critical awareness of practice, is constantly moving his body, because if the body is not quiet, they'll let thoughts arise, the state will thus take random thoughts mindfulness. In addition, more prone to depression, drowsiness. Therefore, always move a part of the body, which rely on awareness training.
During exercise, your body and mind to be gentle, all positions can sit well, just as is comfortable. The back must be straight, natural eye opening, look ahead, but do not look too far or too close, is not trying to focus on somewhere, hands and feet should move gently, without thought the language, without thought silently, do not need to count the number of breath, just to all nature. When thoughts come, not to look, just feeling that the movement of body parts, making awareness as long as possible.
When sitting for long periods, legs will feel pain, you can change the sitting position, but to know what you're feeling posture change. Leg pain when sitting so long, not resistance because this is a natural phenomenon, nor is it trying to resist, or that try to sit for very long, if doing so would be contrary to natural phenomena. Because our bodies are impermanent, selfless, and should not be so controlling. Quang is important when changing posture as it is clearly known is changing his position, always workout.
Also, breathing deeply and naturally have to follow, no need to subdue deliberate breath, do not intentionally drops observed. When, too, do not try to go fast, nor to try to go slowly, but just go gently, just as spontaneously upon gentle awareness to practice without intentional access bridge, when wandering thoughts to the reception, and continue to observe aware of body movements the.Neu we practice like that, from time to time or not, we will realize our body and mind a very easy way, just as we sow the seeds properly, you will have the results you want. Therefore, the need to use soft body and mind awareness every movement of his body, planting seeds if so, then there are methods to eliminate the suffering. When practicing awareness of maturity, at any time your mind also changes, changes from heavy to light, from darkness to light, compassion and natural wisdom manifest.
5. Th O key
Want a healthy body, they must practice every day, practice mindful awareness, too, need to have time to workout a day, three days or seven days to ten days, even during the lifetime.
Times a day: Morning spent two hour introduction to principles and methods, two-hour practice mindfulness. In the afternoon, mindfulness practice two hours, an hour answering questions related to practice issues.

To help develop awareness of the capacity we have to lock fixed time every day an hour or more, depending on the duration of each of us.
6. Conclusion
We all want to live happily, looking for happiness, but few know that the happiness in the place without having to seek elsewhere. It does not understand this, so many people in trouble in life when they often seek outside help, begging the gods, but divine is still dominated by suffering depression, so can not be support shall be and often does not solve the problem of mind that their suffering is suffering. Buddha taught: "Be an island where his own residence, dwelling shelter yourself." The business has sent us messages please rely on yourself, get to shelter themselves. Therefore, the Buddha wanted us through self-cultivation efforts, their own refuge to himself, ie y in awareness, practice mindful to consider the root cause of all problems, thereby canceling suffering distress criteria.
Each beings are pure awareness, which is also said every living beings have the Buddha nature, each of us who also treasure, but I have to dig ourselves, if we stick unearthed treasures Net, it would eliminate the suffering. We follow the footsteps of the Buddha, let go of the Buddhist path, that path is the path of awakening. Anything we do without it will create awareness of suffering, on the contrary if we have awareness of the suffering will not do for themselves and others. Therefore, to solve difficult problems in life, except for the suffering and afflictions of life, we must practice awareness efforts, from morning to night always looked on the movements of our . In everyday life we ​​are always active, take advantage of this that the awareness training, always practicing so, before the results can also be fulfilled.
Feeding the understanding that is the focus of "awareness education", only the awareness of new capacity could eliminate thoughts. So today's society from children, teenagers, adults and aged until all need to practice awareness, because all people are faced with suffering and sorrow.
