Four Foundations of Mindfulness:
Mindfulness Four of the platform

Bhikkhu Brahmavamso

C evil Buddhist meditation e ã says a lot about how to practice the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipattana) , except that this monk. So, in short sermon today, I would like to follow trends so that tr HIB present a few observations on the legal reality h Photopanel of meditation, which is an instruction of the Buddha which is probably e ã more student misconceptions in every Buddhist.
you do e ã participated in the activity center of Buddhism, perhaps e ã heard many claims that French teachers Satipatthana is "a unique way " to proceed the Enlightenment. Even d buzzing this statement seems to confirm the v à attractive, but really, it's not l à exact translation of the words of classic N guyen water and also inconsistent with the teachings of the Buddha in the Sutta other. Pali phrase "Ekayana Magga" in all of the 10 (Sutta) in Central usually translated l à "The only way " and be d application in all of the 12 ( University of Hong Lion) v à obviously means "a road with a single purpose " . There are the different paths but c cancer a common purpose.

In fact, "The only way " e ã been Blessed to mention, not l à Foundations of Mindfulness, which is the chief Eight Path (Eightfold Path), as stated in the Dhammapada:

"All the way,
The Eightfold Chief is the most wins (...).
This is the only way, no child n the other noisy, A. To go to pure perception "(... )

(Dhammapada, 273-274, abridged)

Thus, "The only way " to enlightenment, as all Buddhists are e ã know, the Noble Eightfold Path . Four foundation of Mindfulness (Satipatthana) is only part of the way there. 7 It is only the first part (Mindfulness). Also, there is more Right Concentration 8th, and also have Right Understanding, Right Thought, Right Effort, and 3 more Chief World (Right Speech, Right Action, and Right Livelihood). Each of these expenditures are necessary to achieve the same enlightenment. If any part n loud but not necessary, the Buddha must have e ã teach about religion Seven Chief, Chief of Six Paths, etc. However, in the case, when n loud He also mentioned Chief Eight Paths (Eightfold Path ). So, in the study and practice of his, and you should always keep in mind that all eight factors of the Noble Eightfold Path should be cultivated uniform v à complete, as "a way only " .
Practicing the Four Foundations of Mindfulness measures such as the Buddha's teaching is a highly sophisticated level. Advanced that m à Buddha taught that if anyone can practice the four foundations of mindfulness serious manner m which he à e ã give th ì just seven days, people can achieve or attain Enlightenment Real fruit Lai (Sutta). Many yogis e ã attended meditation sessions 7 days, 10 days or more and still have not achieved a result n noble Buddha loud as e ã promise. Why is that? I think that l à because they e ã not strictly in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha.

If you want to practice the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, by the way, the Buddha said the results quickly to the Enlightenment, th i have many things that you need to complete before you get started meditating. The preparation of this work can be summarized as follows: - You need to practice more fully seven other part of the Noble Eightfold Path .
Or in other words, as the Buddha e ã instructor in T antenna Chi Ministry (Chapter Nine France - Products of mindfulness, of the 63 v à 64), you must observe strict 5 Precepts, drop 5 hindrances (greed, anger, sloth, exchange foreign, suspect), then h Photopanel Mindfulness meditation.
These conditions ti Israel decided this was the most important e ã get him for about two Satipatthana Sutta (Digha in Central and) in Pali verse: "Loke Abhijjha-Domanassam" . This verse is often translated l à: "after the photography for greed and sorrow in life " or similar. Such translations often do not get the student to understand r õ, and perhaps they despised teachings of the Buddha, and thus, their e ã not achieve n loud at all!
At the time of the Buddha's , the monk, monks, nuns, and lay people must have e ã understood words that mean l à "after e ã get rid of hindrances " . The orthodox commentaries on two posts Sutta are explained r õ clear that the phrase Abhijjha-Domanassam is used to only five hindrances. B In another lecture anyone is a worshiper of the Buddha, Abhijjha is synonymous with the first Jiaxuan, Domanassam is synonymous with nh Jiaxuan thing inertia, and if shared together - in the Pali language - which l à spellings n stands for the group warm hindrances. This means that both n am hindrances must be let go before the start of h Photopanel maintain mindfulness. So, in my opinion, the main problem for the student of mindful meditation while still problems that they hindrances to e ã not achieve good results, or long d love.
n Position of the antenna mind to dwell v -na rushed the floor meditation (Jhana) - spent part of the Eightfold Path Right Concentration - is to let go of all hindrances in order to help implement the insight. In b who fear the central 68 (of Nalakapana ), the Buddha taught that while he has not reached the floor meditation-na, the year of c corresponding to the unpleasant and dd who will invade the mind and stay in it. Only when n loud practitioners achieve v rushing the floor, the meditation-na n c am hindrances to the unpleasant and the e invaded anyone new and permanent interest in it. Buddha e ã clearly teach that.
Meditation Students who e ã direct experience is the story this powerful meditation-na th ì surely e ã know is, through personal experience, the true nature of mind after the hindrances e ã drop. N The student did not know the story loud meditation-na is not yet understood the subtle forms of hindrances. They thought that these Hindrances e ã let go, but in fact, they e ã unaware of them, v à therefore, e ã not achieve good results in the h taking walking.
Due to this, h measures taking walking An Only (Samatha) meditation to nourish the floor-na l à part of mindfulness, and so if that method Mindfulness (Satipattana) is one of "pure Vipassana" (Vipassana) , then this does not be very accurate. My teacher, ng monk Ajahn Chah love the natural, e ã said repeated several times that Samatha and Vipassana - An Concentration and insight, and insight - to go together, are inseparable, like two sides of the same coin.

After e ã perseverance to complete the necessary work of preparation, student now can take refuge here mindfulness v rushing one of four topics: the body of m Dinh, the sensation of pain or joy, the mind form, v à mind objects (body, feelings, mind, legal). When the hindrances e ã wither and student can maintain a strong force to the v mindful of rushing this section, th ì at which new students may be contemplating the depths of consciousness, deeper the common sense, the impermanent nature of the so-called l à Ego that we often cling to it.

We often think that this is my body, is my feeling that the pleasure or pain is associated with ego, that the mind is observing the l à my soul, that the object of interest as l à thought and practice knowledge (agent "selection" ) is the Ego, is me, is me. Section Four Foundations of Mindfulness purpose l à to guide students have l am nothing after e ã exit the floor meditation-na, to discover the illusion e ã cleverly disguised by the so-called l à Ego , and from there see that m à Buddha e ã discovery, which l à Truth of Anatta. Ð was not the kind of easy l am, do not have anyone to do well in a short time. Although pediatric Israel, which l à feasible, ho can eat all the seven ng ay, with conditions l à yogis to practice fully and strictly follow the Buddha without going on a ng õ other off.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 ).
