Twelve of conditions.
(Second Decade of conditions).

A) Introduction.

Twelve karmic (karmic Decade II) is a special presentation of the teachings of dependent origination (paticcasamuppàda) [1]). This teaching by the Bodhisattva Siddhartha (Siddhartha) be certified under the Tree of Enlightenment thinking after 49 days of meditation, from which he became a fully enlightened being.
twelve karmic, or Dependent Origination, is a very specific doctrine, is determining the difference between Buddhism and other religions. It is the core of the Buddhist worldview, consistently mentioned in all scriptures. Recognizing the causal teachings twelve students of Buddhism will help better understand issues such as industrial, reincarnation rebirth, cause and effect ... also suggest a positive direction for living in the present individual.

B) Content

I / Definition:
1 - What are the conditions?

This is the decisive factor, the conditions do arise, there's an existence. Coastal conditions are supported, making the impact arises. For example, a grain of rice, factors such as soil, moisture, sunlight, the plant ... the conditions for grain (human) germination of rice development. Relationship Profile - charming indeed complex and more subtle, especially in the world of consciousness, and the "causal" tell all "cores - grace - the". "By grace" in the "twelve causes and conditions "implied" human interdependence ": reliance on each other that arise, the subject arises, is precisely" because this is the face, the other is present, so this is not present, the other one is not present, so this birth, that arises; killed by this, that ceases. "

2 - What is twelve causal?

In the Samyutta II (Samyutta Nikaya), the Buddha of the twelve notes of conditions (dependent origination) as follows: "Due to ignorance, with the birth, by the operator, with knowledge of birth, by the way, there mentality birth, due to mentality, with import of the continent, due to continental integration, have student contact, by contact, affinity birth, by whom, with the student, so players with biotic, so useful, is born birth, birth by birth with aging and death, grief, lamentation, pain, grief, brain birth, birth or whole dried aggregates. Origination This is called ". "Since the destruction [2] craving, completely ignorant, of death; by acts of killing to kill, so kill it and matter of death; ...; birth and death due to aging and death, sorrow, pain, grief, kill brain. Such is the cessation of whole dried aggregates., brethren , the so-called cessation. " (Pp. 1-2) Twelve are predestined Buddha defines two trends: trends arise (also known as flow : due to ignorance of birth ...) and the extinction direction (also known as Full Die t: by the cessation of craving, ignorance should completely destroy the ...). When twelve causal established (set start), ie the five aggregates [3] collection started, and this is the dimension of suffering, samsara. When twelve chains have been broken (cessation), the structure of the aggregates disintegrate also, and this is the path of peace and liberation. In aggregate it is the structure of man and life. Human existence which speaks twelve causal direction is set start operation. According to the presentation, ignorance is seen as the root, the source, the core of the twelve causes and conditions. However, do not misunderstand ignorance is the cause of the first chain link. Because the Buddha, ignorance is predestined by birth, are interdependent. When karmic (positive), then ignorance will turn into mind, wisdom, meaning this is "anti-ignorance, intelligent life." Just a little note on the number of items (12 more parts) of the form This interdependence. The definition outlined above quote from Central II, is a typical presentation, including full details of all 12. In some other texts, such as the Great Coastal Business (The Business School II), of four Coast (School A Function I) ... Buddha presented only include 5, 8, 10, 11 and 12 spent the most full part. This problem is the study of Buddhist competent meticulously analyzed, and all were agreed, some 12 more items were identified by the contents of the Buddha meditating under the bodhi root. This is the kind of accurate, complete and consistent with human thinking. The difference in the cost of the item can only be taught the flexible approach of the Buddha, he depends on the degree of hearing that in short or full. This will be clarified in the section on the operation of the twelve causes and conditions. Subjects heard karmic teachings are twelve people, because heavy attachment and clinging, so Buddha always emphasized the cost of this, especially in the direction, the road kill - freedom. When charity (or whatever the cost somewhat) arises, 12 immediately causal structure formation, and vice versa, or the desire to spend part (or any part of a cost) cessation, immediately chain with chain 12 causal disintegration. It is also significant, but in the conclusion that the Great Pi Ba Sa records, said there is a cost of dependent origination is also, two, three, ... 12 more to the well.

II) The meaning of the twelve causes and conditions:

1 - Ignorance (Ignorance): confusion,'s crazy mind, or in other words, not knowing the truth about existence is as dependent arising, impermanence and no one can own independent invariants. 2 - Action (Sankhara): motivation, action will create work (the practice) of body, speech and mind. 3 - Consciousness (viňňāna): human perception of the world through agencies such as eye (consciousness), ears (consciousness), nose (making of), tongue (loss of), body (consciousness) and the mind (consciousness). 4 - Mentality (Nama - rùpa): Excellent is the object physically and mentally, is the name of psychology. The human body is the best material, the senses and their functions; reputation as the dependent care (mental), such as contact, volition, feeling, perception and investment. 5 - sixfold (Chabbithana) : a place called the six origin, is the interaction between 6 units (= 6 internal origin: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind) and their object is 6 ceiling (of foreign origin = 6 configuration, sound, taste, smell, touch and ideas - legal). 6 - Promotion (Phassa): the encounter, contact, interference between the units (subjects) and ceiling (the object). Specifically, the main contact is the contact between people and the world through the agency of consciousness 6. Note that, when the knowledge generated by physical contact with the eye (color ceiling), then that recognition of a new label called ... Then, contact the meet, interference between units, ceiling and knowledge. 7 - Feeling (vedana): the feeling. In other words is the psychological reaction arises when physical contact with the eyes, ears exposed to sound ... exposed to the idea (legal). Feelings are three kinds: pleasant feelings (pleasures), unpleasant sensations (breathlessness) and neutral feelings (non-dried non-touch). This is material that people usually take to build the value called happiness and suffering, unhappiness. In fact, we are so interdependent, ever-changing, there is no fixed order calculation. 8 - Craving (Craving): Sanskrit is craving or desire: the bottlenecks, love, attachment, including craving color and formless loving kindness. 9 - Prime (upadana): enough is known attachment: the jam on, hold on, strap secures the mind on an object. 10 - Becoming (Bhava): similar process conditions to form, including sexual friendship, excellence and immaterial property ownership. 11 - Birth (Jati): the introduction, creating, appeared. Born here is not the baby's birth, which is the achievement of a component (in aggregate), achievement of origin (perceptual organs and their functions.) 12 - Lao Tzu (Jaramrana ): depression, decline, greater longevity, disintegrate, annihilate, death. With human life, he is represented as the electronic phenomenon: loose teeth, gray hair, wrinkled skin, organs and death perceptual impairment.

III) The operation of twelve causal:
Through the significance of the cost-twelfth of conditions, particularly more enter the record, again confirming that this form is the doctrine of dependent origination talk about people, because humans only have 6 full perceptual organs. Therefore, when talking about the operation of the twelve causes and conditions are also talking about the human operators. because no existing recognition (people and the world) is due to causes and conditions that arise in harmony, always turn a free service and can not be permanent, so the illusion of a self: this is what I am and this is what my (Ignorance). The illusion and this suddenly disturbed mind, give rise to craving, grasping ... And that is the motive for the actions of body, word and mind (Acts). Every time the idea of a self arising visas available. The existence of consciousness necessarily requires the presence of a cognitive subject and object perception (Mentality, sixfold). When base, ceiling and informal meet (sixfold), the Promotion arise. Feeling (Life) is present at the base, ceiling and other official interference; sensation flowed like a waterfall without a power that can stop, because of the nature of this feeling is. Life including psychological reactions before object as sad, happy, love, hate, neutral ... Feeling comfortable will give rise to attachment (Ai). In Ai cover attachment and it is manifested in various forms corresponding to the realm of consciousness (Friends). Born organic produce, and each time was Born, the process of weakening, disintegration, loss will operate as a natural consequence: that is aging and death, grief, lamentation, pain, grief, brain, or dry pain is present. It is the operation of twelve causal direction arises (flow) - this afternoon which is motivated ignorance, craving and clinging. In other words, this is the path of suffering and rebirth led governed by ignorance. During the twelve notes of the coast, the Buddha not only raised the roads start training, as analyzed in on, but he has just started and the cause set to take the path (complete kill). Whenever annihilated any more part in the series 12 chain with (causal), immediately dissolve it. However, the human craving and clinging is the worst, so the advantage is craving or attachment within twelve causal chain no reason to exist. This is the meaning of the Buddha's teachings: "Ai kill instant nirvana." Operation of the twelve causes and conditions is not simply a process of life (from the preliminary concept exists at the last breath the same), but the operation of it (direction established - flow) says etiology of human presence (and life), it is not limited by time and space. Ever craving, attachment or ignorance is not the end, the people still affected by the operation of twelve causal - that is still in samsara vicious, endless suffering, fears - 12 of conditions when the kill, meaning annihilated entire dry aggregates. IV) An explanation of the twelve causes and conditions: Twelve karmic, or Dependent Origination, is the principle of all existence. It is true should not be limited in space and time. The Buddha said that: "Coast is the essence of all life exists, this fact does not change when the Tathagata appears or does not appear." An existing small matter of the atomic nucleus as large as the universe is no exception to this principle. With such characteristics, twelve causal doctrine can be used to illuminate many other issues in life, such as reincarnation, cause and effect ... depending on the angle of observation explains. There are only 4 ways to introduce common explanation. 1 - general format:

"Because this is present, the other is present, so this is not available, the other one is not present, so this birth, that arises; killed by this, that ceases." (Department of State, tr.291). This format is to present an overview, summary and simple as the Buddha said. It is seen as a principle for all existence in the phenomenal world. More precisely, if the conditions are twelve separate forms of human interdependence, the general form about the nature of the phenomenal world, especially the world do not have the knowledge (Gas world).

2 - Three generations of two layers of causality (cause and effect Tam egg):

Three generations of the past, present and future (the future). According to this interpretation, and the ignorance of the past, current expenditure includes 8 parts (from food to property); birth and death belong to the future age. On the other hand, consciousness, mentality, imported record is considered the result of ignorance of the past and out, this is the first causal story. The cost of life, love, and friendship is the fruit of the present and the future is born old death, this is the second output layer. The collaboration between the two layers of this to the coast creates a relationship may seem tight, the continuity of the flow of time: past - present - and future. By this interpretation, the doctrine utensils twelve karmic reincarnation to explain clearly demonstrated. However, such a division would easily lead to a misunderstanding, as the ignorance and only in the past, spent the next 8 only in the present, life and death, the man of the future (! ). Indeed, in the present (and even more in each section) were present ignorance. As a part of existence immediately the existence of eleven more rest. If the cost of any bond is absent, the causal order 12 more collapse. As analyzed, twelve is a causal continuum, interlaced, not dependent on time (past, present or future). This explanation accidentally crude and simplified twelve causal doctrine - a doctrine which is considered as very dark and delicate clothing.

3 - Cause and effect at the same time:

When you say "Because ignorance of life ...", should not be understood as due to ignorance born. Between ignorance and the ... causal relationship is linear, unilateral, meaning that the cost of the existing twelve causal factors depending on time (before - after). This explanation says that, even in a moment [4] was the existence of the full cost of 12. When the idea of ​​a distorted ego and my (self) is present, immediately took the causal chain of continuity: the will to make the (practice), perceived discrimination and attachment (knowledge) .. . to aging and death, grief, lamentation, pain, grief, brain. Each part has a cost that is both effective for the cost of the other, we nurture each other.

4 - The existence of a human life (network based):

A decisive factor in the 3 to form a fetal existence is now at the forefront of pregnancy. This is now the result of ignorance and past practice. Stage was conceived mentality present time. Sixfold stage fetus is fully formed units. Infants nursed stage is the stage of contact. Children aged 3-5 are formed at life. From here onwards, according to this interpretation, the expression of the past now, baby no evil intention to create current business. When the kids are happy, sad, good, hate ... is now craving, clinging, and tangible to the stage where it is New youth to give karma to form a new body in the future (birth, aging e).

V) A corollary of the doctrine of the twelve causes and conditions:

1 - People (and life) is the existence of twelve causal structure, so there is no independent self and permanence. Man is the master of his life, by teaching twelve showed true grace: "Can not find a creator, a Brahman, or the other, as all life cycle of rotation , only the phenomenon of evolution, depending on the conditions "[5]. 2 - People and life is selfless, not a permanent order of (very often), so the potential of each person are hide a possibility of enlightenment, and life is always a chance to build more robust. 3 - When a cost of twelve causal means eleven operating expenses and operating rest. This speaks of the text between the "a" and the "all", beyond the concept of space and time, which can confirm the existence of the supernatural kind.

C) Conclusion

1 - Twelve is karmic teachings about man and tell the people listening audience. For people severely entangled in ignorance, craving and clinging to the Buddha emphasized especially when the cost of human practice guidelines for the purpose of liberation, enlightenment.
2 - Twelve causal, or origination, not a doctrine used to treat ego or to explain the world, but this is the truth and is a practice of liberation for practical people. So this is the basic doctrine of right (first in the Noble Eightfold Path). In other words, right view a comprehensive view, as it is by the grace of life measures. 3 - No-self or liberation, nirvana is not an empty state, which is the notion of an empty permanent self. In other words, it is the present state of ignorance, craving and clinging. 4 - All values ​​in life is relative, because life is interdependent, and can not always fluent grasp. 5 - Existence or life of the existing multilateral relationships between people with people, between people and the social environment, natural environment ... When an individual is living well is to contribute to building a better society, and vice versa. Each person must take responsibility for the community, by the community building was protecting his personal. 6 - Twelve causal, or general doctrine of dependent origination, is a doctrine very delicate and difficult to understand , by people accustomed to thinking organic folds down from beginningless. Want to have a correct understanding of this doctrine requires observation and thinking constantly about it. Thinking and practice teaching twelve causal (Vertical cessation), will take steps to make sure that the practitioner brings to life a generous, altruistic, free and at peace in the present. Because as Buddha's teaching: "Whoever has seen Origination is that France, who saw France is that Buddha (I)" . Seeing Buddha is the ultimate reality show, beyond any constraints of selfhood world - is limited by ignorance, craving and attachment are.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.22/9/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
