Successful fight to stroll through
"Working bad and useless is easy, but to do useful things and nice, very difficult indeed." - Dhammapada.
FiendL winding trouble, but Gotama Magi never discouraged. With indomitable spirit, nomadic neighbors Maghada (Magadha) to find peaceful state and the ultimate Truth. One day, the Magi Uruvela, Senani town of origin. Here he found a place among the lush forest, beside a river spectacular, flexible bending inside two white sand beaches, remote villages that do not prosper, can daily alms to the beggar real. He thought as follows:
"The landscape is indeed tangible, beautiful forest cluster, exciting river with sandy beach and not far from the village. I can easily go there for alms. regard to ethical decision preschool Centre trying noble aim, indeed, this is the right place ". [1]
Location meticulously adapted to meditate. Peaceful atmosphere, lush trees, verdant landscape. He saved it for certain achievements aspirations.
Hearing Prince Siddhattha (Siddhartha Ta) abandoned palaces to leave religious life, Kondanna (Kondanna) is the leading Brahmans predicted that the young prince would later attained Buddha, along with four children of seven other ascetics Bhaddiya name, Vappa, Mahanama and Assaji also seek to study him.
was seven times the Indians are set others loyal to the rituals, forms of asceticism and sacrifice procedures. According to this belief, if not force yourself to rigorous ascetic lifestyle can not be freed. Growing up in this belief, Magi Gotama (Gautama) and five brothers Kondanna (Kondanna) began the extraordinary battle lasted six long years, ended his own life in extreme hardship to a day's robust body Magi Gotama (Gautama) is only leather skeleton. As much pain itself, increasingly separated from his goal.
Several texts have recorded the words of the Buddha, a full description of persistent efforts, the various methods which he has applied, and the success His last, in the universal struggle suffering hardship.
Sutra Maha Saccaka Sutta [2] describe the virtues of the Bodhisattva diligently as follows:
"At that time the thought arises, do the following:
"Or I gritted my teeth, tongue pressed against the lid expectations, and then use the mind (good) suppress, tame, and destroy the ideas (evil)!
"Then I gritted my teeth, tongue pressed against the lid expectations , and efforts to suppress, tame, and destroy the ideas (evil) with heart (charity)., when I fought like that in the armpit sweat flowing from vent.
'As the first strong embrace or a weak shoulders and pressed down, using force and coercion to overcome, not from moving up, is the same, I fight and overcome (evil thoughts).
"My perseverance indeed consistent maintenance and indomitable. My mind is trustworthy and not perturbed. However, I personally do not languish and peace after trying miserably - the body must yield to the persistent efforts. Although painful sensations arise to me, it does not hurt my heart at all.
"Then I think the following: I try it cultivates breath meditation!
"Then I tightly controlled wealth-breath and out-breath from the mouth and nose. When I control-breath very, breathing-out, the mouth and nose, then blast out of the ear canal, creating a kind of unusual sounds great. Breath escaping from his two retractable hose blacksmith how they cried when I stopped breathing fumes escaping from the ears and to create a sound like that.
"Anyway, my happiness diligently persisted maintenance and indomitable. anniversary of my mind still is not firm and unshakeable. however, I personally do not languish and peace after trying miserably - the body must yield to the strong efforts maintenance. Though painful feelings arise in me, it does not hurt my heart at all.
"Then the thought arises, do the following: Or we try to cultivate legal breath!
"Then I -breath control very, breathing from the mouth, nose and ears. apnea At oral, nasal and ear, then bit (squeezed) banging in my head. As someone drilled hard in my skull a tongue very sharp drill, when I stopped breathing, I slightly hit on the head so painful. Though feeling such pain arises in my body, it does not affect my mind at all.
"Then I thought to myself, I try it out breath meditation that again!
"Then my-breath control very, breathe-out from the mouth, nose and ears. And when I stop breathing, my head hurts heard brought up. Status terrible pain at the time as an athlete rope tightened my head. Nevertheless, my Diligence is a persistent level. painful feelings did not cause photo damage to the heart I am.
"Then I thought to myself, I try it on legal meditation breath again!
"Then I stopped breathing through the mouth, nose and ears. When I breath control like he is a strong whiff poke through through my stomach. Butcher, improve technology or new apprentice, sharp knife an incision in the abdomen, causing pain is how strong the wind poke through my abdomen pain, he seems to do. however I'm still a level sustained effort. painful feelings did not affect my heart.
"Again I thought to myself, I try it on the way to meditate more breathless!
"Then I control out-breath, breathe-in from the mouth, nose and ears. breath And when I feel like such a terrible flame to burst forth and engulfed me. someone strong like a weak grip and set up coal fire burning red tube until completely consumed, the fire burned itself I stopped breathing at such great heat as well. Nevertheless, I persevered diligently. painful feelings are not hurt my heart.
"Then there are gods so that I said to each other: Magi Gotama (Gautama) has died! A few other notes: Magi Gotama not dead, but dying! In the meantime also said Magi Gotama is not dead nor dying. He is an Arhat. This is the lifestyle of an Arhat. "
Changing methods: Great Food
"Then I thought: I try it executive hunger!
"Then there are gods to me and said," O Jesus, ask Him should not executive hunger. If his absolute Using real animals again, we would pour on his body the nutrition of celestial let it seep into your pores and feed him. "
"And I thought: If we hunger executive that God poured the substance added to feed of celestial bodies, the result of this is a lie, so I refuse to say "It's not necessary".
"Then I think the following: I try it for real little character, each just a little time, a little water or vegetable green beans, or red beans or white beans.
"When I was little used to such things, or at specific liquid allows, my body became extremely thin. Lacking real animals, large and small parts of my body so thin is like the grass or the trees tube posted three workshops. desk is only by my camel's hoof. backbone I as well as a stand up and chained curves in. my ribs like a house collapsing slopes. During my eyes are not any other pictures of the stars that we can see under a deep well. Contrary melon bitter when fresh cut and exposed to the wind and sun melon skin shrivel, wither grimaced and how it was at my scalp, lack of nutrients, and also wither grimacing like that. When I want to touch bellies lava spine. spine And when I want to touch the lava belly. Lacking real thing, I squeeze the abdominal skin and backbone, to stand up while urinating, I feverishly falls down. I tapped on his arms and legs to make themselves alive. Alas, while beating like that, I'm spelling his hair fell to the ground because the original died. Seeing me so, with the said: 'Black Magi Gotama.' Some people say: 'Magi Gotama (Gautama) not black but blue. "It is said:' Gotama Magi not black nor blue but brown." Color skin bright and clear my badly to like it because of lack of real character.
"Then the following thought arose in me: Oil and the hermit or ascetic in the past have suffered stinging sensation , painful, violent or traumatic how it is that this is the same, not more. Oil the hermit or ascetic in the future will bear the stinging sensation, pain, or severe traumatic How, then this is also the same level, not more. However, how many have experienced austere, hard and painful that we do not achieve anything good, worthy of the noble sense of anger and wisdom surpassed the lofty status of the species. Or is there any other way leads to Enlightenment reasonable? "
Temptation of Mara malice
under full ascetic forms, Magi Gotama did not harvest an end result, but just exhausted. Although, due to lack of time living in affluence full prosperity should have ample strength and robust body, but he found no longer take it anymore. His physique beautiful old has become debilitating skinny, bright yellow color became pale blue. Dried blood, draw near, meat atrophy, indented eyes and fade. He is just a lifeless skeleton. But death is near.
Between danger that the situation, while his strong willpower at the highest level (Padhàna), while he was sitting by the river Neranjara (Ni-inter-meditation) consistent effort and failure to maintain successful concept for the European states, the absolute Namuci [3] came up and said the following words [4]:
"O the Magi, the thin, haggard, now dead to.
'One thousand parts (of the body) were dying, leaving only a part of life. Live, O Magi! Life is over. Having been blessed to create new life.
"Make every single sacrifice and Divine Fire, who will create a lot of merit. Squeezing his ascetic life to do something like this? road indeed persistent efforts hardship, difficult, and not easy to achieve. "
Mara stood in front of the Buddha, saying such words. In response, the Bodhisattva says:
"Hey man diabolic evil, sin and relatives lazy! Do you come here for the sake of your own.
"For you, what merit worthless, oil How many blessings in vain. But is your duty to say so.
"With a firm belief (saddha), self-interested tightly controlled (Tapo) [5], diligent (viriya) and wisdom (panna), we practice as that. I was determined that, why are you even questioned us about life?
"The wind blows forever, one day can make shallow stream, the blood of the ascetic monk (fasting, fasting drink) do dry out slowly?
"Blood shallow dry density, and wear and tear meat. flesh as they wear more pure heart. increasingly calm mind, as an office, more enlightened, as the solid concentration .
"Then the body was extremely painful. More physical pain, as far departed soul craving. Then we know how the status of a being clean!
"Greed (Kama) is the one of your armies. Legionary second is dissatisfied with holiness (Arati). Thirdly Hunger and Thirsty (Khuppipasa) [6]. Fourth craving (Tanha). drove over a hundred year's (Thina-middha, languid, lazy and lethargic). Sixth Fear (Bhiru). Seventh Doubt (vicikiccha) [7]. Eighth defamation and Intolerance (Makkha-Thambha). September's benefits (Labha), Give Praise (Siloka), Recognized (Sakkara) and Thinh catching Chief (Yasa), and directed The Mark of ten soldiers are excessively high and their value despite the Other (Attukkamsanaparavambhana).
"Namuci, it is your army. that customers always stay inside the demonic evil of people. The weak and cowardly did not win, but who dominate the army, he is finding happiness.
"My column on our banner Munja bunch grass. [8] The life of this world is clearly miserable . would rather die in battle than live failures! [9]
"strictly control the flow of thought, and with mindfulness firmly solidified, I will go indeterminate from one place to another, a practice large numbers of disciples.
"Diligence Diligent, decisions, and our teaching practice - not interested in you - he will come to the end where there is no suffering."
With these words he insisted, Gotama Magi Mara won the Evil Mind, and certain success for any objectives, Directed kick.
Path "Middle Path"
After six years of experience itself, Gotama Magi were certainly aware that this kind of asceticism can not benefit, although the philosophers and priests at the time insisted that lifestyle that is essential to reach finality. Seeing that the only ascetic and intellectual impairment reduces mental fatigue, immediately he definitely gave up her practice, as well as the previously abandoned avaricious lifestyles, only delay scientific progress, and select the the "Middle Path" which later would become one of the characteristics of His Teachings.
Relive the childhood, the other a plowing ceremony, while his father and everyone staring celebrate the funny, how He sat under the cool shade of a tree brooch, dhyana, samadhi and attained Jhana.
truth That is the path to enlightenment.
stated that he languished with your spirit can not entirely clear, a health adaptation are essential to the spiritual progress, and decided not hungry anymore, but do use the raw material.
confidant Five monks long time to reach the most much hope that this sudden change his practice of doing so, get discouraged, leaving Isipatana (Say Deer Park) and said:
"Directed Gotama returned lavish fancy, have stop trying, and went back to life avaricious. "
While such an important decision, external support is extremely urgent. It was at that moment, the fellow who fled. But he did not lose heart. Alone, in loneliness, between the forest place, the great man often realize the profound truth high and deep resolve complex problems and difficulties.
Dawn Of Truth
After a few objects to the primitive Magi Gotama (Gautama) rehabilitation and easily enter Profile Meditation (Jhana), Zen stories that he has accomplished in early life [10] . Since then he slowly entered the Second Meditation Meditation and Three and Four. When entering meditation, his mind abides fully to a steady, calm clear as polished glass surface cleaning, and all things are possible reflecting a very honest way. Then the idea becomes calm, pure, clean, no pollution, malleable, awake, strong and unshakable, his mind towards enlightenment related to state "In Me The Past Lives "(pubbe-nivasanussati Nana, Memberships Network Minh, mental recall past lives).
recalls his many past lives like this: First one life, two lives, and three lives, then four, five, ten, twenty, fifty, then a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand, and the dispersion of many world-cycles, then the development of many world-cycles, then both the distribution and the development of many world-cycles. Here what his name, was born in the family, what class, what abstinence, pleasure and pain, and how dead way. From scene to go, he is reborn in any situation, what is called, was born in the family, what class, what abstinence, pleasure and pain, and death any way how. Then go from there, reborn in this scene.
thus remembering how he was reborn and more about the past lives.
This, necessarily so, as First Insight which he realized at farm one, night Enlightenment.

With AI pure and sublime, He found them dead from this life being reborn in another life.
Him who witnessed the spectacle to the vile, bad guys who beautiful, happy people who suffer, all experienced Removal and birth phenomena, depending on the behavior of each artifact.
know who he is, by act, word and thought evil, cursed Sublime wise, not true belief and lifestyle 's wrong, after physical dispersion and died, was reborn in the state of unhappiness.
He knows that the other person, by action, word and thought nice, respectful wise Noble, righteous faith and life of people with the right view, after the dissolution of the body corporate networks, has been reborn in the celestial peace and happiness.
As such, the Divine Eye Minh, click the status Him distribution and structure of the return of beings.
This, so much, is that his Second Insight realization of centering, night Enlightenment.
been shattered layers of ignorance related to future, he radial bar net of "Understanding the Brain legal Termination damnation" (Asavakkhaya Nana, Tan Minh Lau) [11]. True to reality, his perception: "It's afflictions", "This is the end of afflictions." "This is the path I ended afflictions."
In the same way, true to reality he said: "This is Pollution." "This is the End Pollution". "This is the path to End Pollution."
Recognizing that, his mind freed from the illegal sex (pollution of desire), organic contraband (pollution of the sexual life) and ignorance (pollution of ignorance).
Freed, he said, "I have been freed," [12] and his awareness: "Rebirth ended, the holy life has been fulfilled, are done what to do, not back this state again. " [13]
This is Wisdom Tuesday that he realized in the third watch, night Enlightenment.
monitor has been cleared ignorance and wisdom arises. The night had melted and the light.
