An enlightened person is not
necessarily an extraordinary general appearance, and talented high school wide
and illustrious reputation, which can only be a very normal, nothing stands out
to other people to pay attention to. But as well as the moon and stars, as the light
shines, the enlightenment itself radiates wisdom without having to prove
anything. Capital is indeed the jewel of enlightenment available in all sentient
beings, without distinction on man, or bad, but only because we wander wandering
too long forgotten the way to the house's authentic with treasure available
only. in 1957,
when nearly 46 years old, Luangpor Teean, a Thai Buddhist monk, has walked away
with the wish was determined not to return until the truth. Master to Nongkai area,
specialist care practice vipassana meditation, observing the activities going on
in the body and mind. After only two days, he has to be realized, an end to the mental
afflictions that do not need to practice the usual rituals. If you look outside,
Luangpor Teean just an old monk, looks very normal , seems quiet, calm.
But if you
notice carefully, will find out calm on his face, he was always proved to be
flexible, aware all the time. Despite coming from a poor family, no chance of
higher education, but to talk and answer questions, the wisdom of forcing people
to care for. Dr. Vatana Suprmajakr, a disciple and who has treated until the end of his
life, recorded the Master's words as follows: 1. What is religion?
Luangpor Teean:
"religious
people." It
means "religion" is the word used to name the teachings of a person is
considered to understand the truth or essence of human life time. Doctrine, there are several
types. "Religion" that can rise to the suspicion, controversy and disagreement,
so I do not want to talk about it. But if you want to know about the truth, about the
true nature of life in France, I will tell you; and when you get it, your
question about "religion" will disappear. 2. Why do you go to find the French? Luangpor Teean: in my life
I have spent many years of practice, according to the strict rules, the virtues
of generosity, morality ... sought to create the good whenever opportunity etc.
But I still do
not master their emotions. There are times, while organizations offerings son
up, I had an argument with family members working on the issue of merit.
By then, I was
thinking as follows:
"Why do we have to go the full religious precepts, all the faith, giving offerings to the maximum in the mind still full of negativity? Thus, from this moment, we have determined the figure for the French to free yourself from negativity. "
3. France is not the clothes. Luangpor Teean: "In the past, I believe the mistake that Path (France) is something outside yourself, like clothes shopping and then wear until worn., but actually the island (France) that is always present in us, now and here. " 4. Learn French. Luangpor Teean: "Studying the Fa more reinforced only create useless debate only. The problem is how to apply it so full of life, so new benefit. " 5. The story of Venerable Ananda. reasons Venerable Ananda, though have heard and know the teaching of the Buddha (ie France) fully than any one else, did not realize the French had completed Full? Luangpor Teean: "Venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, really like, but he does not know himself. After the Buddha entered Nirvana, Ananda truly understand yourself, and thus enlightened new fullness. " 6. Education and special external communication. Often it depends on many texts as the primary means to study Buddhism why teaching at him so little when it comes to business? Luangpor: "The teachings of the Buddha recorded in the Tipitaka several hundred years after his passing, and then this business is copied over and over again for a thousand years later. It is possible that the teachings of Buddha were recorded very carefully, but not sure what the reader can now understand the meaning that the scribe wanted to say. For I bring business talk all day also like to ensure the authenticity of another person, while himself is not so sure. But what comes out of my experience, I can be sure. sutras as well as a map: it's only appropriate that do not know which way to go, or not to be places to go. But when we get there and then, what is the meaning map again. A further point about the Tripitaka scriptures is that it is written in a local language of a certain region in India, and so is only suitable for people of that locality or learned language. But French taught by the Buddha is not something that can monopolize: it transcends all languages, the same type, and time. If we really know French, we will reinterpret France in our language, in our own words. Learning classic Tripitaka is good, but not attached to it and then lost lost in the words of the scriptures. For example, mango is known by many different characters through many different languages; Do not fall into the literary debate and interpretation, or obstinate that only certain Chuo right to call this fruit, while Main mango neglected not eat rotting to let go. Eating mangoes will know the real taste of mango, though it may be called by whatever name, or even if it did not have a name, too. " 7. The thought of love or Luangpor Teean said: the human mind we thought always arises constantly, like the flow of water in the river is always flowing continuously forever. Immerse thoughts make and enchanting like to draw some water out and then stored there. But we perceive, be able to observe that his ideas really are, just as capable of free flowing water and passed through all. Immersed and enthralled in thought will lead to suffering. 8. Afflictions. In discussing the causes of depression, a person applying for Luangpor Teean explain what afflictions. Luangpor to an object in his hand and grasped it. Then wheeling his fist back and then open it, it falls to the ground:
"That is disturbing!"
asker understood immediately that negativity is what we feel and grasp, hold it tightly in hand, but can also let go. Luangpor say that someone can understand this fast-brainer. 9. When it comes to "stretch cord broken" How? Once recalled his enlightenment experience, Luangpor Teean for it like a rope stretched between two poles suddenly interrupted and can not resume anymore . When asked to explain how, he said: "Words are just sounds used to describe a number of things, but words can not describe the" state of "enlightenment. If we let a little white paint about a centimeter next to the little black paint, then mix them together until they are completely mixed together, we'll call it "gray", right? But if the white paint to paint a black ten meters, and the two slowly blur together until completely mixed into one, we will see that no words can describe to others is color of any point in the process of dissolving, but he must learn new experiences. Did you ever see a black cloud in the sky? They appear in many different shapes. But if we are on the plane that went into the clouds, we will not see them like before we go in there. No words can describe this spiritual state: it has reached foreign language discussion. Try to think, guess or imagine how it is useless alone, but you have to experience it yourself, must see, like new. 10. Minor problem. Once, Luangpor Teean said that many people come to see Professor is all about petty issues, as if they do it, the other is how much merit, or fact that they will be reborn after death, etc. Seldom do people ask Buddhism actually teaches something, and how to apply the Dharma in life, or asked to do anything to alleviate afflictions. Master only answer what is asked, and felt no causal relevance to address these people critical of Buddhism. 11. And institutional realities. Luangpor Teean: humans have a longer life, thoughts and memories more than any animal. When people gather together in large communities, need to set up rules and institutions for social harmony. After a long time, the older generations see the institutions created by humans as an independent entity, and when someone points out that those institutions that are not real, most will refuse realize that. , for example, the so-called "money" is really just paper. When people use it, it is assigned to a certain value, but if people do not get it, then it's just a piece of paper no less. In today's society we use money as a medium of exchange. Those who have no money will be hard to survive. With money we can buy comfort, but no money can buy is the cessation of suffering. 12. Spiritual cultivation Why Buddha was the only teacher of all Buddhists, but there are many different religious teachings? Luangpor Teean: "This is normal. Even during the Buddha's time heard also have 108 different religious groups, each group is their right and 107 the other is wrong. We must use our mind regardless of how carefully consider the most appropriate discipline yourself, do not be too easy to believe, or distrust and attachments. Any method can eliminate negativity are also correct method. If talking about, all those who understand French will have the same feel. " When someone asked the other religious teachings with the practice teaches good or not, Luangpor answer: "Good for them, but not good for me. " 13. Nirvana A layman, after doing a work of merit, was estimated to Nirvana in the future because of this merit. Luangpor asked him: "He counted when Nirvana?" "After I'm dead." "He really wanted to Nirvana?" "Yes, I really want to be in it." Luangpor: "If do so, then he should die as soon as possible to be in Nirvana. " Lay confusion: "But, I do not want to die now." "But if the desire to Nirvana, why do not want to die soon? It proves that he did not understand what Nirvana is. Buddha never taught people to Nirvana's dead, but he taught to Nirvana while still alive. " 14. Vessantara. Vessantara is an example of generosity, of supreme generosity to, but what he seems to not seem too irresponsible for his wife and children. There really giving both his wife and children will make him a Buddha in the next life? Luanpor Teean: "The story of Vessantara been handed down from many generations. If you think that's true, then you just imitate that, bringing his wife and children for the farmers, their workers to have more people who knit, so he has enough merit to become a Buddha. But let me tell you a comparison is as follows: if what he is now as close as his wife and children, is greed, hatred and delusion, he should give them away, so let them go completely : do you understand it? " 15. Merit - Do merits have brought Lord? Luangpor: "He understands the merit?" - The blessings received after death. - Did you ever hear the monks chanting to merit offerings to monks will make us heaven in which there are 500, 1000 of natural according to the most? If you think about the number of temples in Thailand and offerings to the monks for every temple every year, do not know where to dig natural to most of the people are entitled to merit heaven? We thought that the monk is the same as the bookkeeper to calculate interest paid to us after death? - But if you say so, I think about giving offerings to make merit as I usually do now? - Giving offerings material to merit a good thing, but it is like seed, only be used for sowing. If we want to enjoy the benefits of rice, we have to eat rice or cooked rice, not are living rice or rice seed. Attachment of giving material to merit a superstition is a form of ignorance. Most supreme virtue, his own most perfect knowledge, is no longer suffering. 16. What related to the Buddha. Having once we discuss the nature of the relics, do not know which bones into crystal pearl or just get burnt bones. When polled, Luangpor Teean commented that: "Regardless of what the Buddha is not what concerns us. Related what we are not associated with the Buddha. But the Buddha teaches us that we must fully clear what related to himself. When we really know ourselves, the Buddha exists or not is not important. " 17. Enlightenment. On the idols, there is no difference between the enlightened and the ordinary. But the spiritual aspect, from the quality and the quality of the experience, enlightened beyond superior an ordinary normal. 18. Going by others. times we asked Luangpor Teean why people today, even though high school and have a lot of knowledge, still can not solve their own problems and afflictions. Master replied: "Almost all people usually follow others, they do not know their own path to the heart, so new things like that. " 19. Attached to meditation. Luangpor Teean once warned: "The attachment to a method or a way of meditation, though methods or benefit from or to in any way, just as is the use of boats to across the river, but when it was over to the other side and then, certain still refused to leave the boat, so continue to stick with that boat enthusiasts. " 20. To do good, evil. There is some doubt saying: "fresh sage met, in evil against evil." He said: "Society to people what is good and bad. What is said to be good in this place may be bad elsewhere. So we should have a more accurate understanding. Just need to know: "How good is good, bad is bad." 21. Past, present, future. Luangpor Teean always said that the recent past, can not be amended or longer, and the future is yet to come, whatever they have to do is right in the present . If we do well now, today will be a good past for tomorrow. And tomorrow will be a better future for today. Useless to worry things have passed away and can not do anything, as there is no benefit worry it is not happening to: take care of these things will bring pain in the only place it is found, it is present. It is important to continuously create and maintain a true principle in the past, to the results generated from these efforts will have a positive effect to the present. To get good results in the present, do the following, based on the teachings in the business: do you understand it? " 15. Merit - Do merits have brought Lord? Luangpor: "He understands the merit?" - The blessings received after death. - Did you ever hear the monks chanting to merit offerings to monks will make us heaven in which there are 500, 1000 of natural according to the most?

22. Prayer. According to business records, Prince Siddhartha, after receiving food offerings of credit female Sujata and done, you drop the tray of food down the nearby river, and say the following prayer: "If I were feeling enlightened Buddha, this tray will be passed upstream. " And the food tray, results have gone against the stream of the river. I asked Luangpor Teean how engineers opinion, because this is contrary to the natural law. Luangpor said: "Everything must flow down the stream. But the waters in this story refers to the stream of thought. When we look back to the root course of his ideas, we will see the truth of that story to tell. " 22. Working in awareness. Luangpor Teean used to say: "All of us have the duty and responsibility to society which we have done, which is normal. Duty in awareness will give good results most satisfactorily. " 23. lamp. approaching the end of life, when health Luangpor Teean increasingly weakened, we ask the professor after his President and Dharma teaching will like? Luangpor answer: "You do not need to worry about this problem. When mankind exist, at one time or another there will be those who understand French because France is not a personal possession who exclusively or master. France was available long before the birth of the Buddha, but the Buddha was the first to speak and teach, to spread the beings. A person understand French can for as lighting a lamp in the dark: someone is nearby to see things clearly, while those further away are less clear. After a time time lights must be switched off, but there will be times when the lamp is lit, and then will light everywhere.

3. France is not the clothes.

" 20. To do good, evil. There is some doubt saying: "fresh sage met, in evil against evil." He said: "Society to people what is good and bad. What is said to be good in this place may be bad elsewhere. So we should have a more accurate understanding. Just need to know: "How good is good, bad is bad." 21. Past, present, future. Luangpor Teean always said that the recent past, can not be amended or longer, and the future is yet to come, whatever they have to do is right in the present . If we do well now, today will be a good past for tomorrow. And tomorrow will be a better future for today. Useless to worry things have passed away and can not do anything, as there is no benefit worry it is not happening to: take care of these things will bring pain in the only place it is found, it is present.

What is said to be good in this place may be bad elsewhere. So we should have a more accurate understanding. Just need to know: "How good is good, bad is bad." 21. Past, present, future.
