“Here, bhikkhu, someone has the view: ‘That which is the self is the world; after death I shall be permanent, everlasting, eternal, not subject to change; I shall endure as long as eternity.’ He hears the Tathāgata or a disciple of the Tathāgata teaching the Dhamma for the elimination of all views, decisions, obsessions, adherences, and underlying tendencies, for the cessation of all determinations, for the relinquishing of all attachments, for the destruction of craving, for dispassion, for cessation, for Nibbāna. He thinks thus: ‘So I shall be annihilated! So I shall perish! So I shall be no more!’ Then he sorrows, grieves, and laments, he weeps beating his breast and becomes distraught." --- Alagaddūpama Sutta (MN 22)
SUTTA REFERENCES FROM THE VIDEO:
04:30
Udāna Sutta (SN 22.55), and in Āneñja-sappāya Sutta (MN 106): “It might not be, and it might not be mine. It will not be, and it will not be mine. I am giving up what exists, what has come to be.”
05:10
Maraṇassati Sutta (AN 6.19): “Therefore you should train yourselves: ‘We will dwell heedfully. We will develop mindfulness of death acutely for the sake of ending the defilements.’ That is how you should train yourselves.”
16:15
Salayatana-vibhanga Sutta (Mn 137): “ By depending & relying on the six kinds of renunciation joy, abandon & transcend the six kinds of household joy. Such is their abandoning, such is their transcending. By depending & relying on the six kinds of renunciation distress, abandon & transcend the six kinds of household distress. Such is their abandoning, such is their transcending. By depending & relying on the six kinds of renunciation equanimity, abandon & transcend the six kinds of household equanimity. Such is their abandoning, such their transcending.”
16:40
Cūḷa Vedalla Sutta (MN 44): “Pleasant feeling is pleasant when it remains and painful when it perishes. Painful feeling is painful when it remains and pleasant when it perishes. Neutral feeling is pleasant when known, and painful when not-known.”
25:00
Nandamātar Sutta (AN 7.50): “I don’t have only that amazing & astounding quality, venerable sir. I have another amazing & astounding quality. I had an only son: Nanda, dear & appealing. The rulers seized & abducted him on some false pretext and had him executed. But when the boy had been arrested or was being arrested, when he had been imprisoned or was being imprisoned, when he had been killed or was being killed, I don’t recall any alteration of my mind.”
“It’s amazing, Nandamātar! It’s astounding, that you can purify even as little as the arising of a thought.”

Thank you. A million times thank you. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu. My practice was completely "upside down" as you said. The last few teachings I have watched from the hermitage have been like arrows into my mind. Right concentration is not just just development of states...I had developed a whole set of determinations and empty ownerships based upon that alone. I knew I was doing it, but had not yet developed enough Panna to penetrate those illusions. That house of cards fell in on itself, and after the passage of some time (and much gross suffering) I have renewed my practice with vigor. Now the fundamental ground of the inescapable relationship with uncertainty (and the gateway that provides) is becoming clearer and more workable, thereby allowing me to experience so much more equanimity in regards to kilesas. Yet I have many, many more mountains to climb. Onwards down the path!🙏🏻

I think I understand what you mean by not even having a chance of experiencing an outbreath. It always happens to the body but consciousness might already be gone by that time. So by the time it happens I will already be R.I.P. :)

I think I was fortunate that I had no idea what Nibbāna is just practiced Vipassana meditation ... Once I had direct experience of aniccā, dukkha, anattā, dispassion was imminent. Most often is better not to tell people what Nibbāna is because they indeed become fearful and opposed.

I did kayagatisati last night and watched my breath as the bases for my senses, anything agreeable or disagreeable, any emotion any thing wholesome unwholesome, you know to undermine them in a direct way. then all of a sudden underliying my breath was my heart and the arteries next to them as the bases for my experience in general and that was terrifying for a moment. I noticed thinking of breath that way lead me to me thinking of my beating bloody heart which was taking me to what felr like the end of the world. I went to sleep and woke up so excited and so happy. a wordly minded person may not want to see or even think of there general experience in as anicca because theyll see how little to no control over it they have and that will cause them to become disturbed. Dispassion= freedom. Ps -------------- if your doing or preforming the mindfulness thats not the mindfulness the buddha taught. Thats puttujhanas mindfullness

So long as you display pride you have not reached the Nibbāna he is talking about. Guess more practice is in order.

These are the best teachers. They dont have to do this but very big chance if didnt many people would be looking for anicca duhka and anatta in things and not in there experience as a whole. (They think they have a self independent of there experience as a whole which they knowingly or unknowingly take as permanent.) Like resisting discomfort on the level of feeling which is anicca,anatta and dukka which we dont have say in (but gratuitously think it should be they way we want it) but can make a choice on how to go about it. Which the buddha taught which these monks pointed to then explained neatly and precisely in so many videos.

a lay person may temporarily "experience" Nibbana through non-greed, non-aversion, non-delusion but for as long as that experience or even Nibbāna is taken to be 'mine', then it really isn't yours

Bhante, Piti and Sukha are non negotiable qualities of the Jhanas, is that the result of your "unshakableness" ? if so, if one is to feel pain does Piti and Sukha coincide with it ?

@ditty777 3 жыл бұрын

Unshakableness comes from directly knowing Nibbāna. The mind can have rapture and happiness in Jhāna but it's only temporary. When one is unshakable without need ing to be in Jhāna means they know Nibbāna, they don't have as much ignorance ( if not Arahant yet), they simply know the way out from Samsara.

Bhante i have a question about the Introduction in this Book: "THE MIDDLE LENGTH DISCOURSES OF THE BUDDHA" (A Translation of the Majjhima Nikāya) (by BHIKKHU ÑĀṆAMOLI and BHIKKHU BODHI) Here is written: "Rebirth, in the Buddhist conception, is not the transmigration of a self or soul but the continuation of a process a flux of becoming in which successive lives are linked together by causal transmission of influence rather than by substancial identity." I don't understand Bhante. Is rebirth just a concept in which we give our indentity and conduct to others by the actions in our life? Is there no self that is kept? What are the past lives that Arahants can remember then?
