so the suit I'm gonna talk to you
tonight about is called in English it's
called all the taints adela battle
someone order but actually I don't like
that translation this is a little baby
there's some kind of entity member sebou
so I call it all the distractions is the
girlís more than one what is a
distraction anything that pulls your
attention away from your object of
meditation that means any kind of
feeling that arises that pulls your
attention away from your object of
meditation or it can also mean any kind
of hindrance that arises forget one tool
now in this piece of paper this time
this talks about I talk now
this talks about the five aggregates you
see that kind of the families Merkel
book and above the bunch up on that and
it shows how the five aggregates and the
four foundations of mindfulness are
exactly the same thing at the pontiff
under it is a model about their side of
the center and at the bottom there are
these five entrances when you're on your
object of meditation doesn't understand
how big minute does the under your
mindfulness is good but when your
mindfulness begins to get weak outdoors
but 11th amendment
all of a sudden one of these five
hindrances arise now the thing is with
every hindrance and every distraction
you treat them all in exactly the same
way I've got someone in and Saturday and
Sunday how do you treat them so it
doesn't matter what you call a hindrance
don't be like and one of anyone anything
what matters is how you let it go so you
want to remember that the six ours are
not going to make things go away the six
ours allow things to be there without
attention on them in all retreats
somebody comes up and tells me I'm six
earning a lot and it doesn't make it go
away my question is who wants it to go
away who wants it to be the way they
want it to be property of the Illinois
who wants to control and the answer is
always and what does that say it says
that in that desire there is craving
well another something and craving is
the cause of suffering entities for any
time when you use the six RS without
trying to force something to be
different a distracting thought or
feeling can still be there but you don't
keep your attention on it see when you
use the six hours the second step is
release what does that mean it means
allowing it to be but not keeping your
attention on it
so you change your attention to relax
then you change your attention to smile
and then you change your attention to
your object of meditation it doesn't
matter whether that distraction is still
there or not if it's strong your
attention will go back to it and then
you get to 6r again too many times
people try to control things by the
bottom and also how by release relax
release relax release relax relax relax
and bastardy legs that doesn't work why
because you're only practicing half of
right effort that's above your daddy was
the happiness what is the other half of
right effort I thought you said banana
bring up something wholesome come back
to your object of meditation now that's
the complete system for right effort a
banana but every time you try to control
or make things be the way you want them
to be it seems like the six hours don't
work the upside under Moses what rule
that is I wonder subjective element of
help you have a continuum by something
that you have to realize
and any Mia is that any kind of
distraction that pulls your attention
away from your object of meditation so
Gaston is the one above every tool you
have of dignity buzzy and there is your
teacher it's showing you where your
attachment is and then when you use the
six hours it improves your mindfulness
so the hindrances are not something to
fight with or try to control the
hindrances arise to help you then we
don't go in there
because they're showing you where your
old attachments are and it will keep on
coming up until you finally let it go
back on you so it's showing you a very
valuable lesson about understand young
started but have been now this is a very
important point 14
