Path and Fruit.

Buddhist nun Ayya Khema

T desires seem to be a natural phenomenon of human beings. Some people want to be rich, have power or fame. Some people want to have more knowledge and qualifications. Some people just want a small nest from which they can watch nh print the same scene every day. There are people who want to find the ideal one, or as close to ideal as possible.
soon as we do not live in the world, living only in the nunnery, we also have many ambitions: to become a premier meditators, Police want to to fine dining, to live this way generate good results. There's always one thing g ì it to our hope. Why is that? Because that l à what happens in the future, never in the present.

Instead of focusing on the present, we wish to better things will come, maybe in ng him tomorrow. But when tomorrow comes, we wish to re-ng him next, because it is not enough to fine dining. If we change the habit of thinking of m HIB and focus on what exists, about which we will t IMP is a g ì that l am pleased us. But when we do not only look for existing, can expect more perfect, more marvelous, more satisfied, we will not be able to find the g ì, because we are only looking for what it is not present in it.

Buddha talks about two kinds of people, ordinary people (ordinary people, puthujjana) and topping (saints, ariya) . Of course, everyone wishes to become saints, but if we just look forward to it in a future n loud , I will not be achieved. The difference between a saint v à human being is the realization of " direct v à fruit " (magga-phala) . Seconds etched nipple Israel when the mind reaches state si êu this is called l à-up project (sotapatti) and the experiences that call l -people-à Project (Sotàpanna) , who entered the stream leading to Nirvana b- eat.
If we bring that v coat as a goal for the future, it will not happen, because v ì do not give all the power v à strength to be mindful of each paper. Only when n loud mindfulness into every second of the short moment the Path (Path-moments) new release can occur.
factor distinguishes a human being is holy to the cessation of the first three fetters ti Israel e ã bind us into eternal rebirth. The three fetters are: body is, skepticism, and the precepts (sakkayaditthi, vici-kiccha, silabbatta paramasa.) Any person who is not a step up, the project was still tied at three viewpoints and of missteps which took me away from freedom v à v lead us loud tie. rope Try looking at "skepticism" before. That idea always petty obsession in mind: "Maybe l à have a different practice, easier ", or" I am sure that I can find peace in a place n loud in This world wide. " When n loud still doubts about the path of liberation from worldly v à still trust that these things can t contentment IMP place in the world, as it will not have the opportunity to saints attained, by v ì we 're nh misprint direction. In this world with human and material resources and the possession of material, and the exposed landscape through senses, not something other than what we have e ã once knew. If there is anything else, why do they not been confirmed, why we e ã not find out? This is obvious. But why should I look for them? Of course we 're t IMP for happiness and peace, as well as others. Skeptical, he reported , it said: "I'm l à if I try to practice a more intelligent way past that, I'll be happy. C On a few more thing m A I have not tried. " I myself can not drive his own plane, try living in a cave not the Hy m ã Greek painting, never used boats traveled the world, had never written a best-selling novel. All this is l à splendor to perform the c oi life, but we just l à the waste of time and n antenna power.



Skepticism is evident when we are not sure of the next step, we will have to do. "When I go there, I would have l am what? " I have not driven it. Cough is a fetter one thought in mind until a r a transparency which originated alveolar-moments Import Act. Consciousness arises within seconds etched cough that will destroy everything because when one thinks that self-realization is our path. Just like when you're biting xo love, I know it was just a taste.

Misconception of self as a fetter causing the most damage and human being besieged. It contains containers buried deep in the mind the idea of "here l à me ". Can self l was not a close game, "my", but "someone there "is h taking walking. That "someone that "this is like enlightenment, attained to project-store, want to be happy. T à of self is the cause of all these problems is problem arises.

So long as this idea is "someone that "we still c On many issues threads. If there is not a n noisy at all, then who is in trouble here? T à of self is the root creates pain, grief v à lament. Attached to it is the fear and anxiety: "I do not know I will be safe, happy, peaceful, find the ones I'm t IMP for, what I want to achieve as l à happiness, wealth and wise? " The anxiety and fear this is supported by the personal experiences of the past. In the past, we e ã never healthy, wealthy and wise, e ã can not achieve desired, e ã no magic feeling. Because of that, here l à strong reason for us to worry v à fear, as long as there the false idea of self cover.
Rituals and self-sacrifice are not causing the harm, just as n Training we believe that l à part of the road to Nirvana B herds are new harmful. We do not need to be religious, although we often think so. These act as flower incense tr Israel altar, bow or participate in the ceremony can accumulate merits for rebirth v rushing the heavens. Faithfulness, respect and gratitude to the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha) new l à important. But even l He believes this is not only limited to the active religious. Everyone lives with ritual v à sacrifice, sometimes not even aware of them. In human relationships, there are rules how to communicate with the parents, children, spouses. We must treat the world n loud at work, with friends, with strangers, we expect other people to e anybody how all these things are li Israel with the prejudices of the correctness v à likes in one case v of v eat à tradition there. Not a n loud contain truth, because we only created by the mind. One more opinion, it diverges from reality. The more we believe in them, they're more difficult to remove. When we thought it was a kind person , I will be communicating like that in every t Orientation. This happens not only in the way we verified that the flowers on the altar even in one particular way to other people, if we do the ceremonial first one to n loud that v à no way that's open it wrong makes it.
March fetters will be eliminated when the fruit tuck tuck Path and the evidence. Then there will be a change r in the teeth , the pediatric course Israel could not see through h HIB external form. But instead of internal change before ti Israel is empirical experience that will l am dissipate great for the ho one thinks about things to l am in life. Incident or other safety really what e ã know from before, for that, he will see the g ì e ã create the life of m Dinh, from before to now, are meaningless. Without the g ì in the past is important. The only important thing is carried out with meticulous practice to l am t antenna from this experience growth in the short-attention Path nipple Israel, to re-test v à firmly established in him.
attachments and the Path results will happen for the First-lai (sakadagami) , Real-lai (anagami) and Sense-enlightened (arahant, A-la-han) . Each time, we not only deeper darker m à even longer. We can compare with the exams in the university. If you select a program tr n HIB four am to a degree, every year we have to take the exam late. I have to answer the questions in each exam, based on our knowledge of e ã harvest is. The question becomes n Daniel deeper difficulties and eat more in the next periodic examinations. While we only li Israel related to c all supporters a problem, we d have demanded deeper knowledge. So until I graduated v à no need to go back to school college anymore. The development of our mind is like that. Each short interest based on short-Path is front and center related to c all supporters a problem, but it goes deeper. Until we passed the last examinations c application and do not need to come back again.
Chap Center Path without thought or feeling in it. It can not be compared with the na-storey meditation (jhana) . Although the story is based on meditation because the mind only the strong can go v the Path loud short, it is not the nature of the story as meditation - in steps first - as l à joy, optimism, and peace. Later, an experienced center expansion, numerous ownership changes and a change in awareness. Chap Center Path does not imply the state of consciousness.
It has not student friendly. This is a great relief and instead change the command printed on the world, complete even to m à now here he understood why the Buddha e ã teach a clear distinction between a human being and the Saints. While the floor-na meditation brings the most sense as, most able, interested Act does not feel it. Fruit consciousness, followed by short attention Path, is an experienced e ã understanding and creating an entirely new perspective on existence.
Understanding this new awareness that every idea, every feeling are l à suffering (dukkha) . Even the most noble ideas, most noble nature that. Only when n loud nothing new, there is no suffering. Nothing, inside and outside, nature contains complete contentment. Because, there is a clear awareness that, whatever the desire of the g ì be removed. All the commands are printed in their true nature, and nothing can bring happiness as what arises through the practice of religion and its results.
Nirvana factor can not really describe as joy, because joy is excited connotations. I use the word "joy" for floor-na meditation, because in that c On a delight. Nirvana elements not recognized because joy arises all that are watching l à suffering. "The bliss of Nibbana" can make us feel that we could find great happiness for, actually l à otherwise. I see there is no g ì both and therefore, no further misfortune, only an b HIB.
If only looking forward Path and Fruit will not bring them to us, by v ì awareness only once moment can do that. The mantras n slowly he will help to create a center for real, that we can let go of all thoughts v à fully integrated into the subject. At that time, we can give titles h taking walking. I do not need to push it out, it will go the way ri dropped its eng, and the security of the mindfulness will happen. If you need to have an ambitious n loud in life, th ì here l à sole ambition valuable. The others did not bring to th Photopanel reach full.

I also do not have to renounce force skeptical. There is nothing to doubt when we e ã experience the Truth? If you're self- rating m HIB with a hammer, I feel pain m à can not doubt at all. I know from experience how self.
Clinging to rites and precepts will be interesting finish, because when we e ã experience was mind religion is no longer the case that we need to close the opera again. Everyone plays p ò constituents just puppets of nowhere. We can continue the rituals because they contain parts respect, gratitude and faithfulness. But there are other rituals to deal with other people, with t Orientation, and also do not have to make up the story of the self, because my reaction time that l à Quit course with open mind .
Drain off false idea of self, of course, is a place most profound change, creating all the other changes. For eg-up, the illusion of self, no argument arose over again, but still the feeling about it, because the Path shock occurs and turns very quickly. It has made ​​a great impact on. If it l am so th ì e ã produce results Enlightenment. There are people who can quickly attain such as e ã recorded in the Buddhist classics c the noise in the world. The four saints result can be attained even while listening to French Ng else.
Chap resultant consciousness nipple Israel must be reborn, so need to re-set it several times, until the short attention Path starts Monday students, as well as its repeated what e ã know from qu to Israel, and from that create th quieter others.
thing needed is to always remind us at every moment to awaken that form, feeling, perception ,, consciousness is impermanent v à no permanent nature, rather short-changed by. For d ù we have a vision of the not-self (anatta) or only the knowledge that, in the case of n noisy we have to bring that v noisy in mind and live with it as much as possible. As we continue to do so, the question would arise threads usually less. If our mindfulness of the impermanence of all existence, the difficulties that we do not seem to c ON and important perspectives on the self rather will slowly change.

Knowledge we have of ourselves as enemies of our most toxic. Each person creates a character, a mask to wear, v à do not want to see what's behind the mask it. We also do not allow others to see it. After the prime interest Paths, concealment is not c ON again. The masks, the fear and scare chased out r teeth. In order to treat effectively, we must always remember that no one is actually there, only the phenomena m oh well. Even the look of the center has not stabilized enough to prove it, so help determine the loosening of the grip, accept v stick to our game in terms of the less stringent.
orientation of the practice certainly results-oriented project is saved. However, there is nothing to attain, m à all need to be let go. If l am like, tuck the Path will not happen, and we continue to live as before: to be suffering abuse and binding, undergo the praise, get lost, to h En joy and sorrow. Issues common problem - created by the "Table A "- will be born again, born again and so forever. The change is the only constant when n loud with an ultimate change in our method nh printed on it. If not, the difficulties and food remains the same v ì l that game as old as a person created them.
Having mindfulness meditation in and out of the way of practice to deliver results. It means l à hour's work, attention through body and mind. When listening to French, dedicated only to listen. When meditating, just focus on headings h taking walking. When planting trees, planting only knows. No frills, no negotiations guess. This is to the mind is accustomed to live in the moment every second. L am short so it just happened the Path. Not in the distant future, but it can happen in this time and in the right place here. There is no reason g ì that a student has adequate intelligence, healthy v à determination, can not achieve that with l ong patience and perseverance.
they're e ã about boredom and cold is the step on the road to liberation v à freedom. We can not make sense and work for you if you do not have a realistic viewpoint on a ho safety differences, a fact not in the diversity of the world. When we meditate m à catch the inference, that l à temptation of diversification v à expansion, public Coliseum (papanca) . Nirvana factor is not diverse. We can say it is not h PM contains what we know. So until that is so, the world continues to put t Israel for it, but we do not have such information. That's a tough spot to eat. We must always wary, if not be tempted charismatic. I m not surprised that Israel will not find happiness, the most radical, diversity can not create happiness, just start creating delusions iris.

Surely we can experience pleasure through the senses. I will be more occasions like if we make now l him. Food delicious, beautiful scenery, lovely partner, melodious music, good books, nh A comfortable, no unpleasant illness. But these things can bring happiness to a flange herds not? It e ã not happened in the past, why it will not happen in the future? Path and Fruit of happiness because they do not contain the phenomenon. Emptiness remained constant, n not be upset that Israel does not lack peace, because there's nothing to it perturbed.
K hi people heard or read about "passing-b herds ", people say now is:" How can I not look forward to anything? " When we e ã saw everything we wanted just to full fill the emptiness b in Israel and are unhappy, that l à time we do not want anything. This is beyond the "never expected" because now accept that this was, in fact, no g ì worth owning. Not wanting the g ì can help us realize that, in fact, no g ì at all - only a silence and peace.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT=WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.4/11/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
