TRAINING OF patron deep.

            In the following section we try to learn more of the technical details of the bar practice that was more profound teacher develops later, because in fact, the Buddha did not previously raised technical 's. The core allows this practice for those in the ranks quite poorly, not enough consistent ability to see yourself in a natural way unsatisfactory aspect of existence in this world. Anyway, it does not mean that it will be allowed to practice on the course gives superior results than the natural training methods. Indeed in the Tipitaka only see only raise natural methods only. Anyway, there are also some who think that deep contemplation can only be achieved by those who have made ​​an available form of piety or a certain natural ability, and for those with special this event to understand the physical integrity is just a child's game. So for those who do not have supernatural abilities, then how does he now? The main reason that teachers have implemented the sequential technique training aims to help them, it is very clear lectures, accurate and complete from beginning to end, and can carry out immediately applied step by step, of course, have to be methodical and diligent (you can thanks to the effort and intelligence to promote natural wisdom to help her shop to see the nature of all bodies, but for some others they may encounter some difficulties when the mind begins to focus and work, so the teacher gave a sequential method and details to help the people This advance step by step) .

            The exercise allowed on here for the purpose of promoting consistent and profound that today is called Vipassana-dhura (ie vipassana, vipassana means proper objects look like, which means that the operation dhura operating or transport) . Vipassana-dhura is a permitted practice as opposed to learning in books ( gantha-dhura, gantha mean books ), but today both are allowed to practice on here see as a means of contributing to the common supplementary teaching. Vipassana-dhura is learning by inner experience, it is a mental exercise does not necessarily need to book. Both terms above (vipassana-dhura and gantha-dura) were not raised in the Tipitaka, but only appeared in the new text later only. But not so that Vipassana-dhura not an allowed practice true Buddhism, which means that for those who seek to find liberation from all suffering. This practice allows direct expansion based on the concentration and allowed insight (instrospection - that is, looking back into his mind to analyze and understand the phenomenon) persistent. The old masters have raised a number of titles related to the practice of Vipassana as follows:

            - Establishment or foundation of Vipassana is what?

            -  Insight recognizable thanks to the characteristics?

            - The real purpose of the operation is called Vipassana is what?

            - The ultimate result of  Vipassana is what?

              For the first question concerning the foundation of Vipassana , the answer would be: morality and concentration. "Vipassana" means "deep focus" and that is a transparent bar that displays show up in a joyful mind and eliminate all pollution. Joy that can only arise when implementing ethical purity ( Sila-visuddhi ), so that it would provide a basis for their moral and implement a healthy attitude and honesty . This is the classic motivational record (economic Rathavinita-Sutta , Majjhima Nikaya , 24) and is described as a practice allows multi-stage sequential called "purified seven permit" that rank highest will correlate with the Path and Fruit (fullness) . The teacher put moral purity chemicals (clergy) to the lowest level in seven levels. It was his way of giving a perfect attitude was not to blame and that's what it is really necessary to help implement the purified mind ( citta-visuddhi ). Can form above morality can only be achieved when the mind is eliminated everything pollution and chemical purity of thought ( ditthi-visuddhi ) makes all the misunderstandings which must also put end. The liberation that will help detect purity brought from the end all doubt ( kankhavitarana-visuddhi ), this purity up to help manifest the pure understanding arises from visible and consistent way should follow the right path and avoid ( Magga-magga-nanadassana-visuddhi ). Understanding the Path to the mentioned features continue to bring purity and consistency by understanding that during the promotion Path ( patipada-nanadassana-visuddhi ). At this stage, the consulate that becomes deeper and more comprehensive nature intuitively: that is true to the pure form of understanding and consistency that ( nanadassana-visuddhi ) and it is also completely improvement of the Noble Eightfold Path. When you start entering the Path will also automatically achieve its past days, and when achieved Path (fullness) is also deemed to have reached the culmination point of the exercise (age Buddhadhasa always associate the notion that everything achieved immediately, at the inception of the practice, the results were also achieved despite very low, then you have to go all the way it will achieve the fullness and the highest final ) .    

            Pure morality represents an irreproachable attitude is for everything related to the body (action) and language. When could still commit a bit wrong though may be small in behavior through body (action) or word, then that can not be achieved or moral "precepts" right with its meaning. Conversely when preserving moral integrity was also meant to achieve peace in words and actions, as a result bring calm to form. Subsequently this form will be sent to the different stages of purity chemicals including: the cessation of the state of ignorance, the end all doubt (panic) , visible path to follow and Which path should not step in, understanding and consistent process that is promoted on the road, and after all is the consistency and integrity that deeply intuitive. That's five stages allows symbolic practice Vipassana properly with the true meaning of it. Moral purity and pure consciousness is simply to open the door into the path of Vipassana .

Summary of purified allowed seven (I to VII) , five stages of Vipassana

(1 to 5) and finishing ninth stage of understanding (a to i)

                        I. The moral purity (world)

                        II. Mental purity (the)

                                    (H): Determined solid

                                    (I) The ability of understanding Four Noble Truth

 

                        VII. 5) The bars show the deep integrity and intuition (wisdom)

            Want to achieve escaped purified wrong understanding about the things they have to eliminate all the wrong idea, though it is the inner thoughts or acquires, including trust magic and absurdity into the wrong idea about the true nature of all phenomena. For example, see the body and mind are things sustainable, important, or is a "self", or see it as an animal or a human being or a deva of divine nature miraculously or sacred. Do not accept it's just a simple case of four structural components (the four elements) , or simply as a body and a mind, or vice versa, then there is a back view "me" and in it contains a "soul" can be exported and imported. Do not see it just in case things configure: body (color) , sensory experience and perception (passive) , the cognitive (thought) , positive thinking (executive) and sensual knowledge (knowledge - consciousness ) . Do not see it just as a synthesis of the cognitive load received from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.

            The concept mistakes will lead to confidence in the magical and sacred objects, the things that are giving rise to the origin of the fear. The rituals and ceremonies that follow are laid out in order to neutralize the fear, and the consequences are brought to cling to the things that rites and ceremonies - in short all the things that the reason there arises the past is due to the misconception that the whole. The situation shows that thinking is not perfect things do very much. Abandon the false sense means that the format can achieve ago (old books) called "third grade purity" and the more recent masters, then call it an early stage First of Vipassana .

            Purified form can help eliminate the doubts arising from the direction allow insight into the cause. When removing the false sense would find themselves just a combination consisting of body and mind. Removing the doubt mean recognize the nature of the cause (now) give rise to the existence of the master-mind-body-identification form, and we will see very deep and very detailed more manifestation of ignorance, craving, clinging, now, the search for "food", etc. .. as well as their interaction, all of which make the body and mind. Removing all doubts were simply bring results from transparent understanding of the causes and consequences of all objects. For permission to practice Vipassana teachers are said to be twenty-nine or thirty second suspect, but after carefully thinking it is just a summary of the following questions only enough to represent all "ego" my existence or not, it has previously existed or not, and after this it continues to exist or not, and if so, it must somehow exist ? The only method to permanently dissolve the doubt that is how to recognize there is no "self", it's just a simple combination of many factors, including the structure of sorts, a system nerves mixed with ignorance, craving, clinging, now, in addition to "feed", etc. .. It is due to the fact there is no "I" so it can remove the vague idea that "I mean, I have, I will" (the word  the vague thought is translated in French edition, in English it is foolish idea , that is the thought foolish or stupid stupid . fact, this question can be interpreted as: if "I" exist in reality - that is real - then how can we remove it) . When was completely eliminates any doubt it will reach the second stage of training allows Vipassana . Anyway it does not mean that has been permanently get rid of the illusion of "I" because it still remains that some ruins. However, a transparent understanding of how the interaction between the cause can also dissolve all doubts and remove the idea of "self" as the grossest form (this is very concise sentences , the interaction between the causes can be understood as the link between the body, the trends in mind, now in the past, the present karma ... all the complexities that create the illusion is shaped like a "me" or command contained in the mixed master combine to create a human individual) .

            When the suspect fled then can we think of purified help discern the right path and the wrong path to follow should not enter . It must be said that there are lots of obstacles blocking occurs on this process advancement, there are things that obstacles often appear while practicing Vipassana . Status concentrated mind can give rise to many strange phenomena can strongly impact the practice of meditation, such as the wonderful halo of light visible to the inner eye (the two physical eyes closed or half open and half closed not "see" anything at all) . If a meditator sticking right in there and thought it was "the result of allowing practicing Vipassana bring ", or feel smug and think," That was a real miracle suit me " , it will be easier to meet their risk of creating gridlock, making it impossible to continue the rest of the Path and Fruit. The main reason that teachers see it as a deviance, a dead end. There are also other deviant things, such as feeling joy and at the same time, the overwhelming consciousness contentment invasion was so strong that it no longer is a launching more insight, and the meditation hastily conclude that this right "is the right result Nirvana, right as it was happening right at this place and at this time". In fact, there is only the road condition is causing your blockage can no longer perform a further advancement. The teacher said that even the shops that transparency about the nature of the body and mind can also make people complacent meditation and create the illusion that they have achieved a high level of understanding of the mind flexible, and that condition may cause the meditator becomes too confident. It is also a form other obstruction blocking the advancement of the practice of Vipassana . It is also often the case that happens that meditators advantage is the ability to perform to turn his body to become stiff and lose knowledge, the ability to perform the necessary insight. It is a very difficult thing remove obstacles for ordinary meditators are able to enjoy that format and see it as a supernatural ability, and could also see it as the fruit of the Path. In fact, it only represents what actually worth afraid.

            Another case often happens, it is possible the emergence of a form of bliss (beatitude - blissful rapture - modern well-being) that meditators have never felt before. The event was first created for meditation and an unexpected surprise, and then they can bring this to an entirely complacent unfounded. If this situation lasts, the bliss body and mind of the meditator will fall into a deeper form of happiness, all the difficulties under which vanish. All previously meditators like or dislike flashed become different when thinking of them. Also what was previously done for the meditator fear, anxiety, terror and anxiety will no longer generate an impact anymore. Status as mentioned makes the meditator imagines that he has achieved liberation from the mental stuff venom. When problems remain in that state, the meditator remains always thought that I had done all the characteristics of an individual has achieved true fullness. But the fact that satisfaction can arise from it just a form of obstacles blocking the advance on the road to practice Vipassana . Anyway, this format can then gradually fade away to make people meditating back the coveted status object as before, or no longer crave anything, even common condition can become more serious than before.

            There are also other obstacles arising from the strong belief, a belief that had the meditator has never had: it was faith in the Three Jewels - Buddha, Dharma and Sangha - or in some certain theories (myths and not true) that the meditator himself invented. In addition, the meditator may also feel a very high satisfaction level for Dhamma ( Dhamma ). Moreover, the ability to keep yourself not cling to everything can become very powerful and flashed make people think meditation has gained Path and Fruit, or maybe it was the thought that passed away -table. The phenomenon that is the great difficulty for those who first encountered this situation. Until Congress not afford to completely eliminate pollution subtle things that the meditator can still keep thinking that this is what's right for you. Until aware of what he perceived as the obstacle is only then beginning meditators found the true path and what is not true. This understanding represents the third phase of training allows Vipassana and purified to form Thursday.

            While performing the above stages must also be careful practice, should not the path delays to other side (we all know that practice includes many different methods most appropriate for each person, the next path is not necessarily the wrong way, but entangled in it can cause confusion. Anyway, all is well only the skillful means - Upaya, practitioners must remain focused on intellectual , and the road is being presented Chih Buddhadasa is one of the shortest and most direct promoting qualities) . However, when it was aware of the right way , the meditator will also notice that their discoveries will be done after this, but will continue to appear together on that path. Understanding of the Path will gradually be developed further and brought a completely transparent understanding of the true nature of things, and finally can lead to a form of letting go (unattached) and a complete autonomy for the character. For the mind is due to the understanding that it will reach that deep contemplation of the Four Noble Truth (the Four Noble Truths) . One could call it pure arises from the understanding and consistent process that is promoted on the road. This is the fourth stage of training allows Vipassana and can be purified form Friday. Tipitaka not raise any of the details about the promotion process on here, but later on, there were some teachers divide this process into the following stages (ie, stage nine complete of understanding and can see there are nine stages of intellectual development) :

            a) When the practice began gaining a promotion right on the way to practice Vipassana , when it will be able to understand more deeply and more detailed phenomena related to birth, old age , suffering and death of all things, which may be entirely consistent that the onset and cessation of all phenomena. Everything exists in the form of phenomena (ie what shows up and subject to all fields, from material to non-material substance-substance, both internal and external) will be single easy to recognize in a transparent way as an unending process of birth and death, the beginning and the end, as the light sparkling on the sea surface or as undulating ripples and spreading. That's what we call "the knowledge of the beginning and the end" ( udayabbaya-mupassana-nana ). Understanding that arise from allowing a clear and sharp insight, transparency and sustainability, so that he can help achieve a solid understanding, similar to dye something ingrained in the mind, and strong enough to created for the awakening meditation (ie frustration) for objects and bring the end of every attachment. This is the first stage of understanding (wisdom) and customs that the process of advancement on the Path.

b) If the onset and cessation of all phenomena that are consistent at the same time (such as seeing someone also noticed at the same time the birth and death of that person) , and as This will no longer be able to realize a transparent way that the two can form as before when we focus to look at them separately (for example, we see the birth and death of a person that we are interested Monitoring "conjoined" Then we will no longer be able to see him bring the look young and beautiful or old, cute or obnoxious in the middle of the living and the dead, including two this form is no longer possible recognize them separately) . In this stage, the meditator may not need to be concerned that only format starting necessarily able to put the focus on the termination form. This will help see the process of disintegration and disappear with a depth and intensity of extreme, even to the point of gaze to look at anything that is well recognized that there is only complete destruction and annihilation death brings real personality and extensive global (we feel everything around us are being degraded and destroyed, what we think is taking shape but in fact they are all also common in a single process is the decay and disintegration) . When the mind discovers it and sustain the view that the mind will also gain a new understanding more well known as "the knowledge of the destruction and the damage disappears" ( bhanganupassana-Nana ). This is the second development stage of understanding.

            c) When knowledge of the damage and destruction was dissolved fully developed, it will help to be aware that all things are scary. Everyone existence, regardless of sensual realm, form (physical) or non-image-Heroes (mental phenomena) , must be seen as extremely horrible, because we will feel the Cancellation of nowhere and vanish they are happening in every moment one. Anyone have felt when that event is a very strong perception will arise in one's mind and it will turn into a real fear. All things truly terrifying manifestation of a similar poison, a kind of murder weapon, or as a final violent robbers with their arms full. The entire three planes of existence (the three worlds: gender identity, sexuality and formless) have become objects of fear. Aware of the benefits of the fear of all phenomena ( bhayatupatthana-nana ) is considered as the third stage (of knowledge or wisdom) .

            d) When is the sense of nature extremely frightened of everything that exists in the form of phenomena are completely developed, then we will also be aware of nature, all the animals are dangerous, like a forest full of predators, and if you want to find the fun in that forest are certain will not find anything of any interest. Status aware that the inevitable fear ( adinavanupassana-nana ) where all existence in the form of the phenomenon is the fourth stage.

            e) When everything is perceived as what absolutely is dangerous on all aspects of the awakening (awakening, disillusionment, disenchantment) will come. All will be similar to a house on fire and leaving only a pile of ashes and a skeleton - they do not carry an allure all. That disenchantment ( nibbidanupassana-nana ) for the relationship between us and can do things that conditions (choses conditionnees / conditioned things) is the fifth stage of the development of knowledge.

            f) When the true awakening has reached the conviction that the desire to really want to remove the object will show up. The desire that is totally different from the normal desire to find liberation, because the desire is not normally driven by the power of concentration and contemplation that deep, so will not is a true joy aspirations. Disenchantment arising from the bars that allow deep practice Vipassana consciousness embraces the whole desire is so liberating joy will become very large as the disenchantment, and also so that it how entirely true. Sentiment desire to avoid the dissatisfaction of the form can exist in the form of such phenomena as well as the immense pleasure of a desire to find ways to remove clones forequarters are open to the mouth of a snake, or as is a roe deer or a bird trapped and is trying to get out. Sentiment aspirations really want to escape suffering it ( muncitukamyata-nana ) is the sixth stage.

            g) During this period, the desire to find joy liberation has become so strong and a very strong effort also arise under, to seek a way out. Thanks to the insight enables us are aware of the attachment and the mental stuff venom causes the mind to be imprisoned, and at the same time it is also tightening its bonds in that situation. So we have to look at ways to alleviate pollution, and pollution when starting down that person, then we are looking to completely remove it.

            Let's raise a specific image for comparison with the above reduce pollution. For example, a fisherman who pulls up a water snake, but insisted that it is for a fish. If someone told him there was a snake said it did not believe him, except that he met a good teacher, skillful and compassionate sought his guidance and teaching, until he themselves see it as a snake, and then only when he began to fear him and trying to kill the snake. He grabbed the snake will take off early and went hard until exhausted and dead snake. Images on this help sheet are aware that ignorance makes consciousness contamination caused people trapped in a truly terrifying situation (the fishing is great snake fish should not know what fear is, of curtains we too ignorant minds cause us not to fear the damage and destruction of all phenomena vanish always surrounded around and even in his own mind) . 

            If you do not know the workouts gradually to lessen the impact of each day all of these things make pollution dulling the mind, the latter is hardly going to eliminate them completely. Health impact of them much more powerful than fledgling understanding that we carry out to use against them. For that reason should be understanding needs to be developed further, and so do those suffering mental pollution caused by which that will also lessen proportionately. Always remind in mind that all is impermanent, not contain an intrinsic value nor have any ego at all (not under anyone's) , nothing worthy to have or to be as world, a reminder that we should not help foster what could make their minds are ignorant, and at the same time will lessen each day in a psychiatric these pollutants. We have to develop their abilities to help her become more hardened, more and more subtle and skilful. Despite being a small man but we can overcome the difficulties as big as a mountain. I am just a mice but can also kill the tiger. We are always looking for commitment and facilities in accordance with their capabilities. Without a solution that could help us turn around immediately, then we also have to find other ways to make the tiger go weak in every single day, rather than just seeking a lay know to kill it immediately. The active search for the escape vehicle ( patisankhanupassana-nana ) is the seventh stage of the understanding and advancement of the bar shows on the road.

            h) How is the first decline in mental pollution will help us become more self-reliant and less than cling to the body. The next stage of development of right understanding, which bring results from not letting go of attachment to things, knowing that seeing all phenomena are empty, contain a substantive whole, and not carry a position at all (no-self) - Whether it's animals, humans, etc. .. - all without a public entity because they are impermanent, there is no value at all so are unsatisfactory nature deeply, nothing glamorous than just bring all the frustration. Whereby the mind will gradually become more autonomous and not to give anything to be able to penetrate, even if they belong to any realm of existence. The object previously proved very interesting, worth to cling to covet and suddenly became like a rock or stone ground Department.

            Let's raise a picture to explain the events just described above. For example, a man who always loved his wife, but the woman of infidelity, and men are no longer the same again injured his wife. After the divorce, the people are free to do whatever they want to do, and his mind would no longer be crazy anymore. In this level of understanding (ie when these mental pollution has declined) , then what previously proved extremely glamorous in the style of a sudden we no longer carry a more substantive, and thus we can remove them easier and not to care about them anymore, though in any case - the same as the man found freedom after divorcing his wife (formerly attachments each bind themselves, but now no more. example above can also set opposite: a woman can divorce her husband to relieve the mental bondage) . That letting go of all phenomena ( sankharupekkha-nana ) is the eighth stage.

            i) mind when he had found autonomy and no longer cling to all existence in the form of another phenomenon, the far more it will help on the road and help realize the Four Noble Food ( saccanulomika- Nana ). At this stage, we will afford the opportunity completely eliminates everything mental pollution, and cut off the chains binding us in the world (the five aggregates and other phenomena in the world today ) , to help us become saints ( Aryan ) depending on whether a high or low level. It was the ninth stage of the process and consistent understanding of the show on the road throughout the promotion (please note that in view of the great master Buddhadasa, the practice will achieve results immediately at the start of practice, Whether it's just a very low level, gradually, step by step to achieve can then form A-la-drought. therefore A-la-drought can not be a definitive prescribed form, complete and Full and outside the context of a practice that is directed at it as a goal to be achieved. A-la-han is a form of consciousness can be promoted with the corresponding sequence of the religious hierarchy set) .

When overtaking all stages of development on this understanding, since understanding of the onset and termination of all physical abilities to perceive the Four Noble truth then the action Meditation will achieve fourth level of training allows Vipassana or sixth grade purity chemicals (VI. 4). Understanding pure and perfect arising from this level as a means of helping practitioners recognize the path went through, and this will bring a consistency that deeply and intuitively perfect sense to help him to be erased everything mental pollution (VII. 5).
