My gatekeeper is so stupid, he yells at passers-by "Come to the gate, come to the gate yes, good, press against it". Sometimes he writes invitation letters even , like "Open- door day, bring all your friends with " Thanks for the brilliant discussion, Venerables, very helpful. Absolutely enlightening. Sadhu.

Such straight forward dhamma. Everything is boiling down to taking responsibility of choices and not acting out of greed aversion and delusion( the basis of suffering) right here and now.🙏

Excerpt , AN 7.67, The Simile of the Citadel suttacentral.net/an7.67/en/sujato "Just as a citadel has a gatekeeper who is astute, competent, and intelligent, who keeps strangers out and lets known people in, in the same way a noble disciple is mindful. They have utmost mindfulness and alertness, and can remember and recall what was said and done long ago. A noble disciple with mindfulness as their gatekeeper gives up the unskillful and develops the skillful, they give up the blameworthy and develop the blameless, and they keep themselves pure. This is the sixth good quality they have."

Guarding the door step, not to open it for lust or hate. Going bit further, see the guarding is happening because I am here and gate is there.

Ajahn, when you say “gateway,” are you referring to the six sense spheres?

Bhante, a question. By listening to what you say, I'm contemplating and establishing things more in the right order (putting things as first / precedes "me"). Everytime I contemplate, that direction gets further clarified. But I also noticed something. A shape, or an image, that is not the understanding but stands as a representation of that understanding. That image also seems to endure effortlessly throughout the day, and as long as I don't lose sight of it, the knowledge also stands. I'm wondering, is this phenomena somewhat related to the establishments of the Kasinas? Is this relevant somehow? Or am I attributing undue significance to a random Dhamma? Thank you in advance, I would be most appreciated for your clarification.

@HillsideHermitage 3 жыл бұрын

It's related to the phenomena of ESTABLISHING THE MIND. (Kasinas are just one form of establishment.) But yes, the more effort you invest in the discernment of the context, the clearer/quicker recognition of that overall image/representation of the mind you'll have.

@kleyyer 3 жыл бұрын

@@HillsideHermitage Thank you Bhante. Understanding of what this is is a recent phenomena for me. I've stumbled upon this on a off but had no recognition or clear understanding of what it was. When these higher contexts (impermanence, non-ownership and so on...) are enduring at the back of my mind, by virtue of they being more fundamental, once recognized, they endure effortlessly. By enduring, I notice I start to interpret things from their basis. For example. If a context of non-ownership is enduring, even if I try to appropriate things as my own, the moment I do so, the context comes to the front to refute my claim, so, as long as I don't go the step further of actively ignoring that and contradicting it, the context doesn't weaken. Another thing is suffering. Certain things that would cause me suffering simply does not cause me so. Again, I appreciate the confirmation. I will certainly invest more time and effort in this development. Editing here. Just rewatched the "Dhamma Interrogation of "Eye", "Atta" and Sense of Ownership | Hillside Hermitage" and although I had watched it before numerous times, maybe because of the past couple of days, I'm understanding it very differently. It seems I was going through the same progression as in the talk but not as deep... Certainly something to ponder upon...

You could say that Nyanamoli constantly violates the precept against harsh speech.

@hz7988 4 ай бұрын

Sorry my dear missbardojeep but with all due respect you really don't know what you're talking about.

@Limemill 3 ай бұрын

If you think like that, then you should also think the Buddha violated that precept too since the way he spoke of the Jains and other people may be considered harsh by some (I believe more than once he called people fools), but it's just the truth
