According to his personal requirements, which Ambassador U Nu, Thado Thiri Thudhamma Him and U Thwin, Chairman of Sasananuggaha Buddhism, Mahasi Sayadaw, venerable Bhadanta Sobhana Mahathera, who from Shwebo to Rangoon on 10, November, 1949. Thathana Yeiktha Meditation Center, in Hermitage, Rangoon, was officially opened on December 4, December, 1949, Mr. Mahasi Sayadaw started giving the correct training methods with systems made in Contemplation for the fifteen are devout.

From the beginning, the Center opened a post explaining My Contemplation Of, its purpose, method of implementation, benefits from this practice, etc ... etc ..., was given to each group of devout people who come to the Center almost daily to perform specialized training needs. Lectures usually lasts approximately one hour thirty minutes and was Assistant said almost every day, this way of course creates tensions. Fortunately, the Buddhist Association Sasananuggaha have automatically help resolving this by recording a tribute, and on June 27, July, 1951, lecture for fifteen devout are trained, has been covered. Then, this recording lectures are spoken every day before him Mahasi Sayadaw said a few preliminary remarks.

Thus, due to the demand to work of the Mahasi meditation Center branch Satpatthana Vipassana, as requested by the public, this lecture was published in book form in 1954. The book has been published by last Friday. Also because of the excitement and aspiration needs powerful introspection of a multitude of devout, the unknown foreign Burmese-electric, this lecture is now translated in English-language.

Honours degrees of Enlightenment Fullness

When viewing the Sermons of the Buddha, the important thing for everyone is to cultivate morals (sila), meditation (samadhi), and wisdom (pañña). A person certainly must own three morals. For the homeless, the measure at least of morals is the UN peacekeeping Contingent. With regard to the Bhikkhu-khưu is preserving the three-dollar deals-MOC-massage (Patimokkha), the rules for the Bhikkhu-khưu. Anyone who would preserve purity precepts will be reincarnated in Bourn happily as the person, or the Sun.

However, the usual form of the moral world (lokiya-sila) cannot do is prevent measures fall to the lower realms, such as realms of hell, animal realms, or the hungry daemons. So, need to cultivate ethical manufacturing world (lokuttara-sila). When a person completely achieve this morals, they will be safe and not fall to the lower realms, and have always been happy life, to be reborn as a human or as the heaven (deva). Therefore, everyone needs to see the enforcement of ethical production world is the duty of every individual.

There is hope the success of anyone who attempts a sincere way. Goldfield is real as if someone not taking advantage of this good opportunity to achieve the higher qualities, a man like that, no sooner then later, would certainly be the victim of bad karma for themselves, they will be pulled down to the lower realms and more misery, as the hell realms, animal, or the hungry daemons demons, where long lives for several hundred thousand or million million years. Therefore, the need to emphasize here that, read the Sermons of the Buddha is the unique opportunity to practice on the ethical path (magga-sila) to improve ethics (phala-sila).

However, not only the enforcement of morals ethics. The practice of meditation (samadhi) or the focus is also essential. Meditation is a State or tranquility of mind. Common consciousness or not yet domesticated often have the habit to wander to other places. It can't be under arrest, it runs in any ideas, thoughts or fantasies, v ... etc ... To avoid the mind wander, it needs to be constantly attentive to a selected object to that focus on that. Long rehearsals, the conscious mind to gradually abandon the aberration and focuses on the object to which it is directed. This is called meditation.

There are two types of meditation: meditation on the world (lokiya-samadhi) and world export meditation (lokuttara-samadhi). In this type, the first including the focus on the Earth, as the four types of meditation on gender identity (rupa-jhanas) ---single-minded about gender identity---and four types of meditation on gender identity invisible (arupa-jhanas) ---single-minded about invisible colors. What kind of meditation can achieving by silent meditation practice (samatha-bhavana) with methods like focusing the attention on the breath, free from (metta), focus on objects (kasina), etc.v. .. Thanks to achievements of morals, he will be reborn in the Sun breaking. The lives of a very long Thien Pham, about a world cycle, or two, four, or eight cycles of the world, can be up to about 84,000 world cycle. But in the end came when his life ended, the offense still heavenly to die and rebirth as a human or as a Sun.

There are two kinds of wisdom: the world and export it. Currently, the understanding of literary, artistic, scientific, or other things in the world is often viewed as a sort of teaser, but the form of this intelligence is related to spiritual development (bhavana). It's also not considered worthy of praise, because the multitude of weapons of mass destruction were invented by the kind of savvy, they are always affected by the wrecked, angry hờn and the other evil. If a person lives a life morals, they can have a happy life in the higher realms, but they have not been freed from the pollution of the wrecked, anger and delusion, on several occasions they can do these things objectionable. And then they will be victims of their own bad karma caused, being reborn in hell realms or in the lower realms, more misery. As such, worldly meditation nor the safety. The meditation should do is come, meditation on the moral (magga) and the result (phala). To achieve meditation essential is to cultivate wisdom (pañña). On the other hand, the true spirit of worldly wisdom, only the merits and without any drawbacks. Worldly wisdom consists in making use of knowledge of relief and well-being, does not create any harmful; study to gain knowledge about the real sense or meaning of the Scriptures; and three types of knowledge to develop intelligent meditation suicide wisdom (vipassana-bhavana), as the knowledge gained from studying (sutamaya-pañña), knowledge from the thinking (cintamaya-pañña), wisdom from the development meditation (bhavanamaya-pañña).Morals of worldly wisdom might lead to a happy life in the higher realms, but it also was unable to ward off the risk of rebirth in the hell realms, or the realms more misery. Only the growth of world export intelligence (lokuttara-pañña) can suppress this risk is a sure sure. Export intelligence is the intelligence of the result. To develop the intellect, we need to continue to watch intelligent meditation practice wisdom (vipassana-bhavana) in addition to the three principles of morality, meditation and wisdom. When the morals of intelligence is developed, the morals of ethics and meditation will also be achieved.

Intellectual Development

This intellectual development method is to observe the physical properties (rupa) and mental (nama) ---the only two elements inherent in every human being — —-with the look of understanding about the true nature of it. So far, the experiment in observation of physical separation is usually practiced in the laboratory with a variety of tools, but what kind of meditation can not cope with the conscious mind. The Buddha's method does not require any type of instrument or any aid from outside. It can successfully deal with both, physical and spiritual. Use the consciousness of ourselves for the purpose of parsing, by focusing on all the activities of the physically and mentally when they occur where themselves. By continuously repeating this type, can achieve the necessary focus, and when the focus becomes the elite introspection, unbroken progression of the appearance and disappearance of things or Italian can be felt in a vivid way.

Single people only include clear in two groups of physically and mentally. Solid physical body now belong to the group. According to the usual list of physical phenomena, there all is twenty eight types in this group, but the summary may note that the body is a block of material. For example, it's like a dress-clay dolls or wheat, it is not at all, just a collection of particles of clay or dough. Physically changes shape (ruppati) according to the physical condition of hot, cold, etc etc ..., and so this shape change under physical condition, it is called rupa in Pali. It doesn't own any of the sensory understanding of subjects.

In Dieu (Abhidhamma). The element physically and mentally classified respectively as "status with objects" (sarammana-dhamma) and "non-State subjects" (anarammana-dhamma). Elements of the spirit of that object, grasping objects, and objects, while objects are material, e.g. hold objects, and not know the object. So in That it was the French Magic directly noting that materialism does not have the sense to know the object. A practitioner may also recognize as such, that "no physical senses to know."

Song of the trees and pillars, brick, stone and Earth's physical blocks. It does not possess any sense of understanding. The physical body also should do likewise---it doesn't have any sense of understanding. Physically in the human body die just like the human body alive---it did not possess any sense of understanding. However, people have thought that living person's physical possession sense understand objects and will lose this sense death. This thing is really not so. Actually, physically does not own any of the senses to identify objects as such.

So now what to tell the audience? His conscious mind, it appears to rely on physically. In Pali, it is called nama, because it draws (namati) object. The spirit is also referred to as thought or sense. The spirit appears to rely on the physical: taking refuge on the eye, the sense of eyes (which see) appears; relying on the ear, the ear's sense (the listener) appeared; relying on the nose, the consciousness of the nose (the smell); relying on the tongue, the consciousness of the tongue (taste); relying on body consciousness of the body (contact) appears. There are countless types of contact, good or bad.

While large areas of the contact that runs throughout the length of the body, inside and outside, feel for the see, hear, smell and taste in their area---eyes, ears, nose and tongue---each senses occupies an area of very small body. The tactile sensation to touch, see, hear, etc etc ... There is nothing at all, just the mental factor. Where that spiritual consciousness also appear –-thoughts, ideas, imagination, etc ... etc ...---based consciousness. All the ones we have are elements of the spirit. Spiritual understanding of a subject, while physically not know more about the subject.

The sight

People often believe that in the case of the show, it's the eyes actually see. They claim that the eye sees and is a breeding and health alike. They also think that: "What is mine," "I see things," "the eye, what to see, and I was one and the same person." The fact is not so. The eye is an object and the other object is seen, and there is no separate entity as "I" or "self". The only reality of the refuge saw into the eye.

For a example, it's like the case of a person to sit in the House. The House and people are two separate bodies: the House is not the person, not the House. Similarly, just as at seeing. The eyes and the show is two separate things: the eye is not found, the find is not the eyes.

A primary example is different, it's like a person in the room is seeing so many things when they open and looked through the window. If asked, "who are seeing? Window or are people really see? " The answer is, "no window possessing the ability to see; only people see. " If asked again, "any man can see all things outside without Windows?" The answer would be, "can't see through walls every external object as if no window. People can just look through the window. " Similarly, in the case of the show, there are two realities of the eyes and the saw. The eyes do not see, nor see the eyes, but can not get the action to see if there is the eyes. Indeed, the look appears stepped into the eyes.

In every moment of the show, where the body has only two distinct elements are physical and mental (her eyes) (see). Furthermore, there is a third factor of the material---Visual object. At one point the Visual object is found where the trunk and has at it was recorded outside the body. In addition to Visual object has three elements, two factors (the eyes and Visual objects) in the physical and the third (the notice) in the spirit. The eyes and Visual objects, belonging to the material, such as possessing the ability to identify objects, while the see, belongs to the spirit, can recognize objects visually and identify it. Now in sight, the only clearly only has two separate elements, matter and spirit, and the appearance of pairs of distinct elements is known as the show that.

People are not practicing deep meditation about claiming that belongs to "falling," "ego," "body," or "man". They claimed that "the show is Me," or "I am the one to see," or "I know." This belief or viewpoint in Pali called sakkaya-ditthi. Sakkaya means a group of physical (rupa) and mental (nama) available separately. Ditthi means perspective and misguided trust. From coordinating sakkaya-ditthi means which themselves have confidence or misguided views about these two factors nama (mental) and rupa (matter), not true to reality.

To the wall, we explain more about holding the view, belief. Even though moments of seeing, things actually existing is the eyes, Visual objects (both the material), and the see (spiritually). Nama (mental) and rupa (matter) is real, but people hold the view that this element group is falling, or ego, or a lively entity. They claimed that "the show is Me," or "what were seeing is Me," or "I see my body." Such views are wrong, we watched the simple act of seeing the ego, is sakkaya-ditthi, views are misguided about the fall.

When a person has not freed from the perspective of ego, that person would not expect to escape the risk of falling into the realms of suffering like hell, animal, hungry daemons or demons. Although a person can live a happy life where the person or the Sun by morals and the Protestant cause, yet they can still crashing down the current state more misery on at any time, once the evil bad karma to boot. Because of this, the Buddha points out the essential thing for people practicing and eliminate false opinion about falling.

"To a sa-main subjects: an evolving notion to remove erroneous views about intersection".

(sakkaya-ditthippahañaya sato bhikkhu paribbaje).

To explain: whether this is everyone's wish to avoid premature aging, depression, suicide, not a person who can prevent this event. After death, the next rebirth. The rebirth into any existing status would not rely on our desires. We do not have the ability to ward off the rebirth where the hell, animal, or the hungry daemons demons just by the method of dream a way out. The rebirth took place in any of the existing status depending on the career of one: no other choice. For this reason, round of birth and death, samsara (samsara), very scary. So every effort needs to be acquainted itself with the conditions of suffering in samsara, and then practice to escape from samsara, to reach Nirvana.

If the outlet from the reincarnation cannot be completed in, at least the need should do is there should be an attempt to escape from rebirth in the hell realms, animal hungry daemons and demons. In this case, the essential thing is to practice to eliminate completely the perspective of matter and spirit (sakkaya-ditthi) which in themselves; It is the root of the rebirth where the miserable realms. Sakkaya-ditthi can only be destroyed completely by the way direct result: Three morals made world, morality, meditation and wisdom. Therefore it is imperative to practice the morals. To practice one must do? By the method noted or a suicide, we need to get rid of the control of infected cells (kilesa). We need to practice by repeatedly noting one or each action of the see, hear, etc.v ... in the process of physical and spiritual formation, until exit sakkaya-ditthi, views are misguided about the fall.

For these reasons that this recommendation is always to be considered for the police Union meditation practice. Now the practitioners come here with the aim of proving meditation practice, can complete the internship and gain moral truths in time. Perspective on the ego may be destroyed completely and finally can safely cross dangerous exit in the rebirth in the hell realms, animals hungry daemons and demons.

In this field, the practice is simply the notes or a survey of all the elements present in the per-see. It should be noted that "see, see" in each case. By the word "recording" or "a" or "committed" means keeping professional consciousness on an object with real look clear.

After the address object, and the finds are recorded as "see, see," when that subject was seen to be noted, that when the sense of sight is noted, perhaps in place of the eyes, where we saw, are recorded. Success is when we can clearly record any one thing to be noted. If not, rely on the notice shall appear sakkaya-ditthi, where the show will be in the form of a human or something that belongs to him, such as longevity, fascinated, as the I. So it appears the contamination of wrecked, and then will quickly make up the action, and will bring the rebirth of a new life. As a result, the active start pratītyasamutpāda and the circle of evil Monster reincarnation will rotate. To prevent the rotation of the rollover from the root of the see, the essential thing is recorded "see, see" in the per-see.

Auditory, v. v. ...

Also, in the case of the hearing, only two distinct elements, material and spiritual. Hearing loss appears to slash into the ear. While the ear and sound are the two physical elements, sound is a mental factor. To clear understanding any of the two kinds of matter and spirit, every occasion to hear the recorded "hear, hear." So, should acknowledge "smell, smell" when tasting, tasting and smell, "when tasting.

Feelings which needed to be noted so. There is a kind of physical factors such as the sensitivity of the body, where the body-contact. Each type of contact, whether pleasant or unpleasant, often touching on the sensitive body parts, and from where the body of consciousness appears when the contact occurred, it successively feeling or know as soon be. Now it is considered each time a contact associated with two factors matter---sensitivity where tangible objects and physical---and a spiritual element---knows the contact.

To know these explicitly in every moment of contact, such as when noting "contact, contact," noted internship right at the time. This article merely popular forms of contact. There are special forms accompanied by the feeling of pain or discomfort, such as sense of childhood wonder what hard or tired of the body or limbs, burning sensation, pain, numbness, solid, etc ... etc ... Because feeling (vedana) prevails in this case, it should be remembered as "sensation," "feeling tired," "feeling the pain," v. v. ..

Should also reiterate that there are countless appears from feeling the contact where the hands, legs, etc ... v..., and every time he leaned down, co stretching limbs, or move. Because the spirit wants to move, isokinetic, or bowed down, the works belong to the material appearing in series such as move, isokinetic, or bow down, v. v...,. (Cannot recognize this event from the very beginning. It can only be recorded after a period of internship experience. Here it is mentioned for the sake of General information.) All the moves and changes, etc ... etc ... all are part of spiritual fulfillment. When will the spirit wants the isokinetic, successively appear yellow series of the intrinsic motion where the hand or foot. When will the spirit wants the isokinetic or mobile instant mass appeared, the movement in the next move or retreat. And just at that moment a person record the appearance and disappearance of their very rapidly after that.

Each time the bow down, isokinetic, or other activities, first appeared in the series, the moment belongs to the spirit, form or series of works belonging to the limbs, such as the tough, bow down, isokinetic, or move back and forth. This activity occurred against the other material elements, the sensitive body parts, and each time the contact between these works belong to the material and the sensitive qualities, sense of immediate relatives appear, it's the feel or know the feeling of the contact. Therefore, it is clear that the activity belongs to the matter is the dominant factor in these cases. The essential thing is acknowledging the predominant factor. If not, definitely wrong point of view will appear, it viewed this action as "Me"---"I bow down," "I'm isokinetic limbs," "hands," or "my feet." Practice this recording as "bow down," "isokinetic," "move," which was made for the purpose of removing the wrong perspective.

The Consciousness

Based on the spiritual basis appeared a variety of spiritual practices, such as thinking, imagination, etc ... etc ... or say in General, a series of mental operations occur on the refuge. Indeed, each case is a mix of the spiritual and the material basis of consciousness in the material, and the thoughts, fantasies, etc ... etc ... mental. To be able to keep getting what belongs to the spiritual or material in a clear, simply noting in each case, "think," "fantasy," v. v. ..

After conducting exercises with the method instructed above, can improve attentiveness. We noted that the conscious mind doesn't wander anymore but stopped at a certain object. At the same time, capacity recorded was developed in a significant way. Each time noted, we found only two processes of matter and spirit: a combination of objects (material) and mental state (the spirit), both present at the same time.

Again, while proceeding further with the internship of the contemplative, after some time, he noted that nothing exists generally constant, everything is in a State of transit. Each occurrence is something new. Every Friday, it should be noted when it appears. Anything to appear and then disappear right away, and then the other one instant appear, again it is noted and then it disappeared. As such, the process appears and disappears every resume, it clearly shows that nothing is usually constant. Then we understand that "everything not commonly hang" because we noticed they appear and immediately vanish. This is the insight insight into impermanence (aniccanupassana-ñana).

And we know that "what appear and disappear with nothing to gloat." here's the insight about suffering (dukkhanupassana-ñana).Again, it is common to experience a multitude of pain sensations where relatives, such as fatigue, heat, aches, and each acknowledged the sense of wellbeing, it is common to feel the body is a collection of miserable. This is also the insight about suffering.

And each time noted, we found that the physical and mental elements appear depending on the nature and the terms of them, and not depending on the desires of us. Thus we see that "they are factors; they cannot be ruled; they are not a person or an entity living. "this is the insight of anatta (anattanupassana-ñana).

When complete the understanding of impermanence, suffering and egolessness, Director of the Roman Empire (magga-ñana) and knowledge (phala-ñana) occurred and we achieve Nirvana. Achieving Nirvana is a first step, a prize from the regeneration cycle, get rid of the pain. So, people should strive to achieve the steps, paths and results of its type, the minimum measurements against the rebirth of unhappiness.

Practice of Application

The real method of implementing intelligent meditation has been interpreted as recognition, or a survey, or contemplation, these events occur continuously where Visual, auditory, v ... etc ... at the door of the six senses. However, the reality is it's hard for a preliminary study to track the ongoing events — as they happen, because the attention (sati), meditation (samadhi), and understanding (ñana) remained weak. The see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, and think happens very quickly. It looks like see happen simultaneously with the hearing, and the hearing occurred simultaneously with the saw, saw and heard at the same time. Because they happen so fast, can't segment it clear what happened before and what happened after.

Fact, the sight does not occur at the same hearing, or hearing loss occurs at the same time. Such events can only happen one by one. However, a practitioner started practicing and not yet fully developed, the main interest and understanding, will not be any at this moment all singly when they appear each series. So, a basic profile does not need to keep track of many things. He just start a survey with a few things.

Sight and hearing only happens when the focus is in the audience. If we don't pay attention to the views and sounds, we can to the passage of time that such moments would record sight and hearing when they appear. The sense of smell is seldom happen. Experienced taste buds can only happen when we eat. In the case of see, hear, smell and taste, practitioners can acknowledge them when they appear. However, the existing face place emotionally. Often time they also retained a distinct way. While we sit, feeling numb or uncomfortable feeling where the fuselage clearly be felt. So the attention needs to be directed to the sitting posture and should be noted as "sit, sit, sit."

Sitting

Sit is the straight posture of the body consists of a series of physical activity, by promoting awareness of a variety of mental activity. It's like a plastic ball was hyped up and round in shape through the resistance of the air inside. Sitting posture similar to the body is kept in a straight posture through continuous process of physical activities. This body is a burden, so the need for a large portion of the energy to keep this straight. People often guess that this body be raised and maintained in the erect posture with the tendon fibers. This assumption is correct in a sense because tendons, blood, meat and bones are just the physical part. The hard elements to keep the body in a straight posture that belong to groups and appear to be meat, tendons, blood, etc. etc., throughout the body, like air in a plastic ball.

Hard element is the element of air, called vayo-dhatu. The body is kept in a straight position by elements of the air in the form of hardware, it is continuously available. When sleeping or sleepy, we can fall down because of the offer of the new material in the form of hard cut. Mental state while very sleepy or sleeping is the bhavanga, "life continues" or the flow of the subconscious. In the course of the bhavanga, the mental activity is absent, and for this reason, the body lay still while asleep or when very sleepy.

While, the constant mental activity appeared strong and alert, because this activity factor the air mass appearance as hard. To tell the truth, it is important to acknowledge your body posture attentively like "sit, sit, sit." this does not mean that sense of childhood wonder what hard body should explore and noted in a special way. The attention just attentively in the raw form of the sitting posture, that is, the lower part of the body in the form of curves and the upper part of the body straight.

May find that the practice only a closely seated posture is easy and doesn't require much effort. In this case, air force (viriya) less but the professional mind (samadhi) . It is common to feel lazy and not want to further noted "sit, sit, sit" in a fairly long time. As often happens when lazy to single-minded overwhelmed and don't have enough gas. Here there is nothing at all, just tired and lazy state (thina-middha).

Need to develop more, and for this reason, the need to increase a number of object recognition. After noting "sit," attention should be directed to one place in the body where the contact is perceived and remembered as "contact." To serve the purpose, anywhere where the foot or hand or the hip, where the contact is perceived clearly. For example, after noting the the posture of the body is "sitting," spot that we feel should be recorded as "contact." And the remarks should be repeated, take turns using two objects sitting posture and possible were touches, is "sit, sit, sit, touch, touch, touch."

The words "noted," "hung" and "contemplative" is used here to guide their mind on an object. Practice of simply acknowledging or a survey or contemplation is "sit, touching." Those who have previously experienced in meditation practice can find that this practice made easy at the start, but the first who does not yet have any experience whatsoever can see this practice really hard.

Up-Down

A simple type and make it easier for the record: With every breath, where the abdomen appears the movement bulging-falls. The application should start with practice noted the movement. The movement up and down, we are recognized easily because it is rough and so it is more appropriate for the site. As in schools where the simple lessons are easy to learn, practice of meditation is proving so well. The application will find easy to develop the contemplative and the understanding with the practice simply and easily.

Again, the purpose of meditation is closely allied to start practicing by contemplative featured elements where the body. The two elements of the spiritual and the physical, mental, subtle and less prominently, while the material is crude and more prominent. So, right from the start, the usual sequence of a practitioner is to start practicing by contemplative material elements.

Regarding specific properties, what is mentioned here is derived from physical (upada-rupa), it featured less subtle and, while four primary material elements (maha-bhuta-rupa) — Earth, water, fire and air-to-crude and more prominent. Therefore, the air should be prioritized in the order of the object to be contemplative. In the case of bulging-falls, striking element is the element of air or vayo-dhatu. The hard and the movement where the abdomen is noted while enjoying experiences such as anything, but due to the power of the air element. Therefore, air elements are recorded from the very beginning.

Follow the instructions in the Contemplation Of (Satipatthana Sutta), we need to note respectively to activities away while away, the work stands when standing, as well as when sitting and lying. We need to pay attention to the activities of each as they appear. In terms of this, commenting that we need to focus on factors in the air first, and then to three other factors. In fact, all four primary factors are dominant in any action where the fuselage, key thing is getting out any factors in the four elements, or the two movements bulging and falls happen apparently with every breath, and begins with the recognition of this motion. Some basic features of the system monitoring intelligent meditation has been explained to General information. The General Conference on the basic exercises now being resolved.

Outline The Basic Practice

When the contemplative about inflation and falls, practitioners need to navigate the consciousness about the abdomen. Then practitioners will know the movement upward or abdomen are swells when inhaled, and the downward movement or muscle spasms when breathing out. Need recognized by the consciousness that "up" when the movement is located above and "down" when the movement is in the bottom. If all of this movement are not clearly documented, just hold the attention where it, one or two hands should be placed on the abdomen.

Practitioners do not need to change the way your natural breathing. Practitioners also need not try to slow breathing by holding back the breath, or breathing deep breathing or nahnh. If the practitioner changed the flow of its natural breathing, practitioners will tire very quickly. So practitioners must keep the natural ratio of breath and proceed with the contemplation of up and down.

When the bulging belly's appearance, the sense of need recorded "over", and when the abdomen falls, spiritual need recorded "down". The notion of the word, we need not pronounce. In meditation, the League is important to know the object rather than knowing the names or the letter of it. So, it is essential for practitioners is effortless for the anniversary of the movement up and down, right from when it started until the end of it, as the movement has been seen by the eyes. When inflation occurs, the conscious mind needs to keep up with the movement, such as in the case of a Department knocked on the wall. Every time the movement swell is the consciousness raising outright. Likewise, every time the movement falls occur as successively consciousness immediately.

When there is no object presence, practitioners need to continue practicing the recorded two movements — such as "up, down, up, down, up, down." So, while busy with this practice, maybe more when the mind wanders. When the focus primarily in club football, is difficult to control the mind. Though the consciousness be guided towards the movement up, down, the conscious mind won't head back here that wandered elsewhere. Don't let the mind wander here alone. When the mind wanders, so noting now is "wander, wander, wander". When recorded once or twice then the mind wanders often stopped, and the internship noted "up, down" of the abdomen are continuing. And then when the mind has come to a place, have recorded "come, come, come." And then when the motion is clearly documented, it should quickly return to the practice of "up, down" of the abdomen.

When meeting a person for the imagination, it should be noted "experience, experience," then returned to routine practice. Sometimes actually just the imagine when we talk to people in powerful, and should be noted to "talk, talk." The real purpose is recorded each time a mental activity as it occurs. For example, it should be noted that "thinking" right moment to think, and "reflections," "plan," "know," "attending," "happy," "feeling lazy," "feel," "disgusting," etc., etc., depending on the case when each activity occurred. The contemplation of the mental activity and noted they are called cittanupassana, the contemplation of the mind.

Because people are not understanding anything useful about intelligent meditation, they often do not know the true state of mind. This naturally makes them look wrong, see the "who," "falling," "living entity." They often believe that "the imagination is Me," "I was thinking," "I'm planning," "I'm aware," v. v. .. They believe that there is an existing living entity or an ego from expanding childhood to adulthood. Indeed, a living entity like that don't ever present, but the present one is the ongoing process of the spiritual factors occur one by one, each time an element occurs and continuity do not stop. Practice of the contemplative is executed with the aim to discover the true self of mind-body complex.

Related to consciousness and how it appears, the Buddha said in the Dhammapada (Dhammapada -v. 37)

Durangamam ekacaram

asariram guhasayam

ye cittam saññamessanti

mokkhanti marabandhana.

Go away, wandering alone,

Invisible and hidden in caves.

Those who are suitable and prepared the consciousness

Definitely get rid of the binding of the Devil.

Go away. The mind often wandered away. While meditators try to contemplative practice of meditation, practitioners often found his mind wandering to the distant place, city, etc.v. .. Practitioners also found his mind can wander to places so far away that he knew the right moment are thought or imagined. The fact we are exploring with the contemplative.

Solitary.The consciousness appear singly, each moment, each other. Those who don't realize the fact, that the consciousness of the one existing in the life or lives. They don't know that the new consciousness always appear in each moment. They think the see, hear, smell, taste, touch, and think of the past and present belongs to them and the same as a consciousness, and that three or four of the see, hear, touch, know often occur at the same time.

These opinions are wrong. Indeed, every moment of consciousness appears and disappears, the succession — and then the other. When long term internship will find score. The case of imagine and plan are clearly identifiable. The imagination vanished when it was recorded as "imagine, imagine," and plans to also disappear when it is noted "plan, plan." Moments to appear, disappear and reveal as a colon. Previous consciousness is not the conscious mind. Each separate. The characteristics of reality be identified depending on the individual, and with this purpose we can proceed with the contemplative practice.

Invisible.The conscious mind is not entirely, it's invisible. Not easily distinguish it as in the case of material. In the case of matter, body, head, arms and legs are very prominent and easily recognized. As if to ask what happened, the time can be displayed and processed. However, not so easy to describe consciousness because it's of no real substance or shape. Because of this reason, unable to perform, analyze tests for the consciousness.

However, we can understand the vital mind if it is explained is that know the subject.To understand the mind, it is essential for the contemplative mind in every moment when it appears. When the contemplative conveniently far, approach the subject of consciousness are clearly understood. It's presence in every moment of consciousness, it leaps directly to the object. The contemplative is to understand the true nature of consciousness.

Hidden in the cave.Because existing consciousness refuge on the foundations of the spiritual and the physical place where senses the door, it was like watching hidden in caves.

Those who are suitable and prepared the consciousness inevitably escape from the binding of the Devil. The conscious mind needs to be contemplative in each moment as it appears. So the conscious mind can control the attention. Success in controlling the mind, practitioners achieve freedom, escape from the binding of the Devil, Death. it is important to acknowledge the conscious mind at every moment when it appears. When it was recorded, the consciousness raising. For example, by acknowledging once or twice "intention, intent," at being acknowledged, the intention associated goal lost. Then should return to practice routine record where "up, down, up, down".

While we proceed with the usual practice, one can sense that we like to swallow mouth water. It should noted that "want," and when hydrated mouth, "suck," and when swallowed, "swallow," according to the order it happened. The reason for contemplative in case this was because the views of individuals, "like to swallow as I am," "swallow as well as me." Indeed, "to swallow" belongs to the spiritual in nature and not "I," and "swallow" in terms of physical properties and is also not "I." That only the spiritual and physical properties. This contemplative way, we can understand clearly the process of reality. Likewise, in the case of spitting, it should also be noted as "wants" when we want to spit out, and "bow down" when the neck bow down (to do a gradual), such as "look, see" when to look, and "spitting" when spitting. Then, continue to practice routine.

Because sat a long while, the body will feel discomfort, stiffness, heat, etc. .. The feeling this should be noted when it happened. The conscious mind needs to be focus on one spot and recorded as "numbness, stiffness and numbness, feeling" when "hot, hot" when feeling hot, and "pain, hurt" when feeling pain, "numb numb, solid solid solid solid sensation" when on the skin, and "tired, tired" when feeling tired. The feeling this discomfort is dukkha-vedana and the contemplation of this feeling is vedananupassana, the contemplation of feeling.

Due to the lack of knowledge about the feeling of wellbeing should exist a mistake about my personality or ego, that is, "I feel numb," "I feel pain," "I feel unwell earlier but now I feel uncomfortable," I have a way. In fact, the discomfort arose because of the unpleasant impression of the place. Just like the light of a lamp lighted can continue if energy supply continually, and in the case of the sensations, it appears every time each new contact with the uncomfortable mark.

It is important to understand these feelings. Right from the beginning of recorded "numbness, stiffness," "hot, hot," "pain, hurt," one could feel the uncomfortable feeling is gradually increasing, and it noted the consciousness appeared to change posture. This consciousness should be noted "like, like." Then it should return with the feeling and acknowledge "numbness, stiffness" or "hot, hot," v. v. .. If we proceed with this method, with the contemplative and the patience to work, the discomfort will go away.

There is a saying that, the patience that leads to Nirvana. Clearly this statement applies even more in the case of contemplation. Need a lot of patience in the contemplative. If a practitioner cannot endure the discomfort to the patient, which often change positions while the contemplative, he cannot achieve the focus. There is the focus then had the opportunity to gain deep insight (vipassana-ñana) and don't have the insight, the way and the result is impossible to achieve Nirvana.

Patience is very important in the contemplative. The patience needed to endure the discomfort where the fuselage. Almost without any external disturbance tao needs to practice patience. Means the a suicide khantisamvara, almond rings breaking fast. If discomfort occurs, immediate posture is not changed, which have recorded continuous "numbness, numb," "hot, hot," v. v. .. The feeling of pain is normal and it will disappear. In the event we get the strong focus, will find that feeling intense pain will disappear when we patiently endure and acknowledge it. After feeling the pain vanish, we need to return to routine practice noting where the abdomen "up, down".

On the other hand, may be feeling the pain or discomfort is not instantly disappear even when we recorded it with patience the ultimate high. In this case, it is no longer other way is change. Of course, one must surrender to the more powerful forces. When the attention is not strong, the painful feeling will not disappear quickly. In this case, her consciousness often appear to change posture, and this intention should be noted "like, like." Then, we need to record every move "turn (hand/foot), turn" and moved forward.

The activities of the body should be made one way slowly, and the slow movement should be monitored and recorded in order to "turn, turn," "move, move," "contact, contact," and when to hand the foot down, noting "to down-to-down." As if nothing noted when the change is complete, return to the routine practice noted where the abdomen "up, down".

In the process, we do not have the stop or pause. Previous actions were recorded and then action needs to be continuously recorded. Similarly, the attention before and after the need to continually, and actions identified before and after as well. Similarly, attention, focus and understanding developed gradually through each stage, and are based on the complete development of them, the last stage of the path of knowledge will be achieved.

In intelligent meditation practice, it is important to mimic the burning fire. Before the match, lighter to burn the fire, people need to constantly rub two twigs together and not be stopped halfway. When the tree branch becomes warmer, more effort is required, and is constantly rubbing them together, not to be stopped. Just when the flames start to catch on fire, people can rest. Similarly, a practitioners need hard training, must always acknowledge not be stopped in the middle of two successive actions, and concentration before and after should also be recorded. After he got to know the feeling of pain and recorded them, he needs to go back to the routine practice noted where the abdomen, "up, down".

While busy with the usual practice, he can feel the itch of any place on the body. He must navigate the consciousness to that place and recorded "itchy itchy." Itching may be a very unpleasant feeling. When the feeling of itching, scratching or scrubbing wants instant consciousness. This consciousness should be noted "wanted to, like," no scratching or scrub on the site, but keep getting the itching that "itchy itchy." When we are busy with the contemplative manner, the itching in many cases will disappear and we can go on with the routine practice and recorded "up, down".

On the other hand, if the itch does not disappear, but the need to rub or scratching, should bring the attention of successive stages should be recorded as "like, like." And further noting "turn, turn," when the jam up, "touching, touching" when the hand touching the itchy places, "grinding" or "scrubbing, scratching, scratching" when the hand rub or scratching their itchy spot on, when to withdraw the hand back, left hand drawn noted "the hand", as the hands touch the body "touch, touch", and then to continue the contemplative routine as "up, down ". In each case, the change required the contemplative phase continued to be practiced and documented carefully and similar.

While carefully proceed with the contemplative, one can notice the sensation of pain or discomfort automatically appear where. Usually, people change posture when they felt there was little tired, hot or uncomfortable without attention to this event. The change is executed in a brooding seeds of pain began. And the uncomfortable feeling appear very distinctly. For reasons stated above, as a rule, the posture hides the hurt feelings of vision. Often people think that they feel both day and night. They think the pain sensations appear only at the time of a dangerous disease.

Indeed quite the contrary with what people think. Try watching a person can hold the pose of sitting during long without mobility or changing posture. After a while sitting about five or ten minutes, I felt uncomfortable, and I began to feel depressed after fifteen or twenty minutes. And then we feel like being forced to or change by rotation or bowed legs or hands, mobile, or waggle the body forward or aft. Loads of action usually occurs in a short time, and that number will become great if were counted during a day. However, no one aware of this factor because no one crave attention to it.

In each case has a sequence like that, in the case of practitioners, he's always paying attention to his actions and conduct the contemplative, the experience according to its natural properties are clearly identifiable. They totally revealing themselves in accordance with their nature and he can close shop until fully identify.

Despite feeling the pain appears, practitioners continue to record. Often he does not try to change posture or movement. And then when the mind wants to change appearance, he identified it and recorded "the 'd, like," then he returned with a small pinch of pain sensation and went on to record it. He changes posture or movement only when the pain got too stay. In this case, he also began noting the conscious mind wants change, and proceed carefully recorded every stage in the process of the movement. This is the reason why the pose can't hide the pain sensations. Practitioners often find painful sensations spread slowly from this place, the other place or feel hot, burning urination pain, itch, or whole body is a pain. So the feeling of pain is too strong for the posture can not hide them.

If he has changed positions from sitting to standing, first he should acknowledge his intention as "intention, intent," and proceed with an article of limbs in sequence followed by acknowledging "turn," "moving," "isokinetic," "touching," "click," v. v. .. When the body leaning forward, it should be noted "italic, italic." While stood up, the body will feel slightly nhỏm when taking action to stand up. The attention should be focused on those elements and noted "standing, standing." movements stand up needs to be enforced one way slowly.

In practice the process is important to practitioners primarily act in club football, slowly in all activities, such as a physical, illness. Can the correct example for stand-up here is like a person suffering from chronic back pain. Others Express should always be careful and moving touch to avoid from getting hurt more. Likewise, practitioners should always try to move slowly in all the action. The slow movement is needed to allow the attention, focus and understanding caught up with each other. It is common to always live in a brooding and we only started serious training to keep the Memorial where relatives. This is only the beginning, and main memory, concentration and understanding has not been increasing in speed when the speed of the body and the mind moving back too fast. So required to make progress in fast pace slow down, let the anniversary and can catch up to speed. So, from time to time the slow movements can also be made according to the wishes.

Moreover, practitioners should behave like a blind throughout the internship. A person without any restrictions will not look dignified because they look at every item and every person a. They also have been strong mental state and stillness. On the other hand, blind behaves with calm attitude by sitting strictly eyes looking down. They did not look toward the other direction — to look at things or people because they are blind and cannot see. This calm attitude is worth to follow. Practitioners need to behave with the same attitude during practice the contemplative. He didn't look anywhere. His mind just to object that he is contemplative. In sitting posture he is intently record "up, down". Even if these strange things are occurring nearby, he did not look up to. He simply noted "see, see" and then continue with the routine practice recorded "up, down". Practitioners need this practice seriously and practice it seriously, to the point of being seen mistakenly as blind.

In this field several female practitioners are considered to have perfect posture. They carefully executed this practice seriously depending on the instructions. Their attitude is composure and they always take on the object of their contemplation. They look to look back. When they go, they always focus on the legs. Their footsteps are gentle, calm and slow. Every practitioner needs to follow their example.

Practitioners should also like the deaf. Often, when we heard a commotion, we successively look to look back, look toward the play sound action, or one towards the opposite are talking to us and answered them. We do not behave with the sluggish attitude. In contrast, the deaf person behaves with calm attitude. He doesn't pay any attention to any noises or any stories because he can't hear. Similarly, practitioners need to keep the same attitude in medicine so, don't pay any attention to the tales series, nor intentionally listen to any story or dialogue. If disciplines accidentally hear the action or dialogue, he needs to break records "hear, hear," and returning to the routine of exercises and noted where the "belly up, down." He carried the contemplative one way attentively, so were looking at mistakes as a deaf person.

It should be remembered that the only concern of a yogi is the carrying out intently of contemplation. Other things seen or heard are not his concern. Even though they may appear to be strange or interesting, he should not take heed of them. When he sees any sights, he must ignore them as if he does not see. So too, he must ignore the voices or sounds as if he does not hear. In the case of bodily actions, he must act slowly and feebly as if he were sick and very weak.

To remember that practitioners are only interested in internship intently the contemplative. What to hear or see is the interest. Even if they seem interesting or exotic, he did not pay any attention to. When he saw anything, he comes face to float as if he didn't see. Also, he should ignore the voices or noises as he did not hear. When the body movements, he sent a weak way in club football and slowly as if he is suffering from a chronic illness and a weak overall.

The Exercises

Go

So, it should be stressed that when stood up the body's movements should be enforced one way slowly. When stood up then, it should be noted "standing, standing." If we look around, it should be noted "look, see," and walking every step needed to record "step right, step left" or "go, go." in each step, the attention should be directed at the heel as it moves from point turn the foot up to the arrival.

While going with the quick step or go for a walk, recording each part of each step as "step right, step left" or "go, go" should be remembered. In the case of slow travel, each step should be divided into three parts---look, jump to and put his foot down. The practice, it should be noted the two parts of each step: "turn the foot" by focus on the movement of the legs turn up from the beginning to the end, such as "pull down" by moving into his latest leg from until the end. So the internship begins every first step by acknowledging the "turn the legs, pull" until the end.

Usually, when the foot is put down and recorded "put down" the other leg began to turn up to start the next step. Don't let this thing happen. The next step should only start after the first step completely finish, such as "turn, set foot" for the first step and "turn the foot, the second step" to set foot. After two or three days of enforced this practice will become easy, and then the practitioner need only practice by noting every step has three parts "turn, move, set foot." At present, practitioners need to start practicing with the records "step right, step left," or "go, go" while going fast, and recorded "turn legs, feet" while going slow.

Sitting

While away, one might want to sit down. It should be noted "wanted." If we suddenly looked up, recorded "look, see, see, see"; proceed to the seat recorded "turn the foot, the foot"; When stopping recording, "stop, stop." You body will become heavy and as were down. The attention should be directed at those points and recorded "sit, sit, sit." After sitting down and then, the movements of the limb was placed in certain positions. Need to record "movements," "bow down," "extensor contraction," etc.v.. If nothing to do and we just sit quiet, we need to return to routine practice noting where the abdomen "up, down".

Located

While the contemplative one is feeling pain or fatigue or heat, we need to acknowledge these and then returned to routine practice recorded "up, down". If we feel sleepy, we can acknowledge the "sleepy, sleepy" and proceeded to record all the action before lying down: Noting the the posture of the hand and foot "jam up," "down," "moving," "support"; When the body inclined noted "italic, italic"; When leg isokinetic noted "isokinetic, isokinetic"; and when his body fell down and lay straight noted "lies, lies, lies."

The action is set down to trivial but also important and not to be despised. Any possibility of enlightenment in a short time may be made. On the comprehensive development of the focus and understanding, enlightenment can be achieved in the current time when the bow down or isokinetic. He A-Nan reached fruition A-la-Han also right in at him has just put back down to the bed.

At the beginning of the fourth month after the Buddha entered the kill, the Bhikkhu khưu have converged and the open Council meeting first for sorting, testing, validation and read back all the sermons of the Buddha. then there are five hundred Bhikkhu khưu checked out to a file. One of the Bhikkhu khưu, himself A-Nan as sotapanna, a merged their, while four hundred ninety-nine other are all A-la-Han,

To be involved in the Council as an A-la-Han dynasty along the rank with others, writes A-Nan have tried meditating a day before Congress was to start training. It was on the fourth day of the month (August) Savana aimed at the moon. He A-Nan conducted the main focus the body and continue to practice meditation for the whole night. Maybe it's just the method noted "step right, step left" or "go, go." He attentively contemplative process of spirit and matter in every step until the Sun is about breaking dawn the next day, but He has yet to achieve results A-la-Han.

And then Writes A-Nan thinks: "We tried our best. The Buddha has said: ' A-Nan, he possesses the perfection (paramis). Please proceed to practice meditation. He certainly will reach fruition A-la-Han in a recent days. ' We have tried our best efforts we can compare with the best meditation. The reason that we still fail? "

And then He remembers: "À! We too only energetically in the meditation. Gave up so much strength that not enough concentration, this is probably the reason for this restless status. Should stop the practice of meditation to balance the energy with the focus and conduct contemplative work of lying. " He A-Nan lien in his room, sitting down at the bed, and began to lay down. Hearing that he achieved the results A-la-Han after lying down, or rather even though contemplative moments recorded "lies, lies."

In commentaries, the method of achieving results A-la-Han, we recorded as a strange event, because it is outside the four usual posture to stand, sit, lie and go. Even though moments of enlightenment, his posture A-Nan cannot be his legs because of standing posture has left the ground, nor sitting posture because his body was tilted to one side, nearly hitting the pillow, not posture must be located because his head had not touched on the pillow and the body is not straight.

He A-Nan was added up and then He developed the three-phase higher-Momentum Investment results leaders--function (once again), the result-Functions (not back), and finally achieve A result Director-la-Han. These recalls happen only for a while. So thorough care essential for the practice of contemplative, not the mail drop or flawed.

While lying down, the contemplative need be executed carefully. When meditators feel sleepy and wanted to lie down, it should be noted the "sleepy, sleepy," "want want"; When the hand jam recorded "trademark, the trademark"; hands down recorded "push, push"; After the body tilt and lean down recorded "lies, lies." Lying down should be enforced in a way it slowly. When touching the pillow should acknowledge "touching, touching." The body has a lot of it is touching but every time just recorded one spot to be.

Private vow is a lot of movements of the body such as the movements of the limbs. This action should be recorded as "jam up," "isokinetic," "bow down," "move," v. v. .. When people have recorded "turn, turn," and when nothing special to noted, practitioners need to conduct routine exercises recorded where the "belly up, down." While one supine or prone, often nothing is noted and in particular to back implementation of the routine practice "up, down".

There may be many times when the mind wanders while one is in the lying posture. This wandering mind should be noted as "going, going" when it goes out, as "arriving, arriving" when it reaches a place, as "planning," "reflecting," and so forth for each state in the same manner as in the contemplation while in the sitting posture. Mental states pass away on being noted once or twice. The usual exercise of noting "rising, falling" should be continued. There may also be instances of swallowing or spitting saliva, painful sensations, hot sensations, itching sensations, etc., or of bodily actions in changing positions or in moving the limbs. They should be contemplated as each occurs. (When sufficient strength in concentration is gained, it will be possible to carry on with the contemplation of each act of opening and closing the eyelids and blinking.) Afterwards, one should then return to the usual exercise when there is nothing else to be noted.

There are many at the conscious mind wander while we're lying. This wandering mind should be noted "go, go" when it is wandering, when it arrived, recorded "come, come", recorded "plans," "think," v. .. v ... recorded by the same method for each State as when we're seated meditation. The mental state disappeared when it was recorded once or twice. It should continue to return to routine practice "up, down". Also the water at the mouth to swallow or spit, feeling the hot, pain, itchiness, etc ... etc ..., or the movements of the body are changing posture or extremities is moving. Each move needs to be contemplative when it happens. (Once your focus is strong, can practice the contemplative about each move open or close of the eyelids, and a Flash.) Then, we need to go back to the routine practice when nothing else to record.

Sleep

Although the Sun was late and time to go to bed, not to abandon the contemplative and go to sleep. Anyone interested in meditation should be prepared to face the risk of many sleepless nights.

Books stressing the need to develop four qualities of energy (viriya-caturanga) in the practice of meditation: "in this difficult struggle, we can become genuine leather, only bones and tendons when flesh and blood have increasingly dry, but we do not abandon our efforts when we have yet to achieve the purpose by perseverance, the energy and efforts of the people. " The above directions should be executed with the diamonds. If there are enough strong concentration, one may not need sleep, but if the sleepy WINS then we will want to sleep.

When we sleep, we can acknowledge the "sleepy, sleepy"; When the eyelids begin to bend badly, noting "heavy, heavy"; When the eyes feel suffer seizures, noting the "lightening, thunderstorms." After contemplation by the method has only, we can reduce drowsiness and feel energetic again. This sensation should be reported "feeling strong, feeling unwell," then return to routine practice recorded "up, down". However, despite adamantly, we still feel unable to understand if we are so sleepy. In lying, we fall asleep more easily. As a result, meditators beginner should try to preserve the sit and go.

However, Sun as of late, practitioners are required to reside and conduct contemplative work up and down the stomach. In this posture meditators may be asleep. While asleep, unable to continue the contemplative. This is a time of rest for meditators. An hour of sleep will give him a mail drop, and if he continues to sleep until two, three or four hours, he will be resting for longer, but practitioners are not recommended to sleep more than four hours, as usually sleep four hours would suffice.

Go

Practitioners need to start contemplative right from the moment you wake up. Practitioners are always busy contemplative, recorded during the remaining time, it is normal that meditators do with real excitement to achieve direct results. If you can't get the moment of awakening, he needs to start with routine practice noting where the abdomen "up, down". If he begins to realize he is thinking, he needs contemplation recorded "think, think" and then return to the usual practice "up, down". If he starts to hear voices or other noises, he must begin to acknowledge "hear, hear" and then return to the normal practice. When wake could have the body movements revolve above the other direction direction, movement of limbs, etc ... etc ... The movement, we need to be contemplative order followed.

If he noticed the mental state led to different actions, where he began to contemplate recognition of mind. If you notice pain sensations, he started recording the sensations of pain, and then went on to record the movement where the body. If he kept quiet and unmoved, noting the routine exercises "up, down" should continue. If he had got up, it should be noted "want," and then noted the move in sequence by bringing the right limbs of the location. Have recorded "jam up, jam up" when the body stood up, "sit, sit" when the body upright and in position to sit, and have noted any movement would when putting limbs on location. If no special recognition, returned with the usual practice "up, down" where the abdomen.

So we referred to these objects need to contemplate having contact with four postures and the change from this posture to posture. This is just a description of the outline of the object district to contemplative during practice. However, at the beginning of the internship, it is hard to contemplate all the tracking object. There are many things omitted, but when enough power is concentrated, the track will easily while the contemplative, not the track are the subjects were told, but also can track more. With the gradual development of the conscious mind and concentration, the gap of understanding will more agile, thus recognizing multiple objects. Indeed necessary to practice up to this level.

Washing and eating

The contemplative need be executed while washing in the morning or when bathing. Often, we act quickly in this moments according to the nature of the activity, the contemplative need be executed when possible in these cases. As with the hands to grab rice scoop should record "with, with"; When holding the rice noted "AI, AI"; when embedding objects into rice noted "embedded, embedded"; When giving body toward rice recorded "take, take"; When drain water onto the person or the recorded "drain, drain"; When felt conditioning noted "cold/cold"; When Palm States noted "the Palm, Palm States," ... etc. .. There are many different actions where the body when replaced or prepared clothing, arranges bed or "out" (drap) sheets, when opened, v. v. .. What we need is more contemplative.

When eating rice, the contemplative need start at looking at the dinner table and recorded "look, see, see, see"; When the hand with a fork to record "with, with"; When a hand touches food recorded "touch, hot, hot"; When acquiring the food record "of receipt, receipt"; When remove food noted "remove, remove"; When stretches put food recorded "take, take"; When the neck bow down recorded "bow down, bow down"; When food is put into the mouth recorded "come on, come on"; When unplugging the hand of noted "withdraw, withdraw the hand"; When the hand touching the platters recorded "touch, touch"; When the neck is straight again recorded "straight straight"; When chewing food recorded "chew, chew"; When tasting food, tasting, tasting "reported" when she prefers the recorded "love, love"; When we feel satisfied recorded "happy, happy," ' when swallowing noted "swallow, swallow."

This is illustrated for contemplative routines every time eat a piece of food before the meal ended. In this case too difficult to keep track of all the action in the beginning of the internship. We'll miss quite a lot. However, practitioners should not hesitate, which must continue to try to track by his power. Exercises gradually progressing, will make it easier to record many more objects were referred to here.

The directions for contemplative practice is now considered complete. As they were explained in detail and in some extent, will not easy to remember all. For the sake of memorizing easy, a short summary of essential and important points are made.

Summarize The Essential Points

While away, contemplative disciplines on the activities of each step. While I go fast, every step should be taken distinctly "step right, step left". The mind should be attentively toward the heel move in each step. When we go slowly, each step should be acknowledged through the two sections as "turn up, to down." When we sit, contemplative practice routine should be executed by noting the movement of the abdomen "up, down, up, down." By contemplative likewise noted the movement "up, down, up, down" should be enforced when one lies down.

Contemplative while acknowledging "up, down," sometimes the mind wandering away and we should not let it continue to roam but need to record it. When the conscious mind to imagine, to record "imagine, imagine"; When thoughts recorded "think, think"; When the conscious mind to step out, recorded "come out, come out"; When the conscious mind to one spot, recorded "come, come," v. .. v ... recorded each event occurs, and then continue with the routine practice recorded "up, down".

When feeling tired where limbs or body parts, or hot, numbness, pain or solid itch, the feeling should be monitored and reported immediately as "tired," "hot," "numb," solid "pain," "itchy" ... etc ... depending on the case. Then, back to routine practice recorded "up, down".

When the bow down or stretch your limbs, or moving the neck or extremities or the tilt forward and back, the above movements in order to be monitored and recorded. Then, returning to the routine of exercises recorded "up, down".

This is just a brief post. Any object would need to be contemplative in the course of the internship are the teacher referred to as giving the instructions in daily interviews with the students.

If we proceed with practical methods such as directions, figure subjects will increase over time. At first we will miss many things because the conscious mind often wanders because without the suitable and prepared. However, practitioners should not despair about the recalls. The difficulty is often encountered when starting the internship. After some time, the conscious mind can no longer hide and school outings because we caught it every time it wanders. So the conscious mind needs to be attentive to the object to which it is directed.

When the belly bulging consciousness raising noted that, and so the object and consciousness coincided. When the abdomen associated consciousness falls recorded this, and so the object and consciousness coincided. Always always have a pair object, and the conscious mind recognize objects, in each record. The two elements above, subject matter and mind, always appear in pairs, and in addition to this folder have anything available in the form of people or us. This fact was recognized by the individual after a period of internship.

The plant essence and spirit are two distinctly different things, we need to be clear in acknowledging the stomach "up, down". The two elements of matter and spirit are connected to each other in pairs and polymerization occurs because when the physical appearance and mental process associated identify it. Discrete physical processes occur at the same time the sense to recognize it. Similarly when jam up, moving, and setting to anything: the mental process appears and disappears at the same time with the mental process recognizing them. The material appears and disappears at the same mental process recognizing it. This understanding with regard to the material and the spirit appear sporadically called nama-rupa-pariccheda-ñana, understanding the distinctions matter-spirit. This is the preliminary stage of the entire practice of deep understanding. This preliminary phase is very important and should be developed with appropriate methods.

Continue to practice the contemplative in a while, one would have to be progress on the anniversary and focus. In this high level at any time recorded we will realize every process to appear and disappear just moments. However, with people who are not regular instruction for that body and mind are always in a State of constant often throughout my life, that body from growing up and maturing young mind, he grows to adulthood, and the body and mind are one and the same person. The fact is not so. Nothing is usually constant throughout. Everything available in one time and then disappear. Nothing existed even a glance. The change is happening very fast and it should be getting to know right at the time.

While the contemplative by acknowledging "up, down", etc ... etc ..., we noticed this process appears and then disappears, this one and then the other followed each other rapidly. When realizing that everything's gone right at the point where we recognize it, practitioners know that nothing is usually constant. Understanding of the essence of all things is aniccanupassana-ñana, understanding major ideas about impermanence.

Practitioners recognize that the status of all things always change and is suffering, and not so keen. This is dukkhanupassana-ñana, contemplative knowledge about suffering. When suffering, many feeling the pain, the body and the mind is viewed as complex a heap of misery. This is also the contemplative knowledge about suffering.

Notice that the elements of matter and spirit never properly according to our wishes, but they appear according to the nature and the terms of their own culture. While taking part in the recording process, practitioners understand that all this progress cannot be controlled and they are not human, or a living entity or an ego. This is anattanupassana-ñana, contemplative knowledge about the egolessness.

When practitioners develop knowledge of impermanence, suffering and egolessness, he can attain Nirvana. From the ancient time, the Buddha, A-la-Han and holy ones (Ariyas) did achieve Nirvana through clever meditation. This is the great leader, to reach Nirvana. Vipassana meditation (intelligent monitor intellectual property) includes four satipatthana, the applied to the anniversary, and the satipatthana really is the path to Nirvana.

The practitioners adopt this practice should remember that they are on the path that the Buddha, A-la-Han and Holy was going through. Chance explains them clearly because parami (ba-la-suite), that is, their earlier efforts in the search for and desire to accomplish, as well as the conditions ripe in the present. They should be glad in my heart because there are opportunities. They need peace of mind that when riding on the road don't fluctuate, they will achieve their personal experiences about the focus and wisdom will be the ultimate high growth, as well as the Buddha, A-la-Han and Holiness was achieved. They will develop the pure state of concentration that in my life before that they never known, and therefore they enjoy is the pure pleasures as a result of the highly concentrated.

Hence the need of meditators determination to conduct practice the contemplative with mind, believing that it will inevitably lead to the development of religious holy berries and reach Nirvana. They will be freed from the wrong perspective about the fall and leave the doubt, and they will no longer float in the samsara, reincarnation into the realms of hell, animal, hungry daemons and demons.

Pray for all practitioners attempt is successful.
