friends in the Dhamma today up to what
10 2016 Adam asuka meditation center I'm
going to talk from a demonic here suta
number 48 to zambia sutra so first of
all what is the meaning of Columbia the
Columbia in that place before
establishing the city there were many
trees and those trace name was kuzhambu
trees when they're established the city
that plays at the time they're cut up
many kuzhambu trees from there and later
on they gave the name that plays
Columbia that one so in that city the
best one gave the dhamma talk so the
suta first of all I read a few free
grabs then I'll give you some
commentaries so let me read the suit
then I'll explain thus have I hurt on
one occasion the blessed one was living
at the cusum be in goo cedar park now on
that occasion the monks at KU zombie had
taken two quarreling and brawling and
were deep in disputes starving
each other with barbell daggers that
could neither convince each other nor be
convinced by others there could neither
pursue it each other nor be persuaded by
others so here what is the problem why
the Hmong monks were quarreling there
were two groups of monks suit amongst
and vinay other amongst so one day suit
among went to the restroom and he used
his backside business and after that he
is the water from the bucket but he left
little water there then he left a
restroom and later on the winnie other
amongst when to the restroom and he saw
the little water left the bucket so
after finishing his private activity
back side then he came out and he said
who used the restroom before me then he
figured out the master of ceuta group
you know who know a lot of dhamma who
care who is very well known who can
priests very well so he said you break
the precept and sooth among said well I
don't know that so I apologize to you
please forgive me then when I among said
okay when here plaza I I forgive you but
when among when went to the his temple
he said to his disciple
do you know what happened today the suit
among he no damn ma very well but he
doesn't know discipline he went to the
restroom and he doesn't know how to use
the water when he said to his disciples
and next day they went to Devon out for
collecting arms food disciple of suit
amongst also went for collecting our
arms foot and disciple of Winnie among
also went to collect Dom's food at that
time disciple of Vinay among is starting
criticizing about suit amongst disciple
your Hmong is very famous how did he
forget the discipline role and starting
quarreling quarreling quarreling so from
the that group from the two groups a
certain Hmong went to the blessed one
and after paying homage to him he sat
down at one side and informed him of
what was happening then the blessed one
addressed a certain Hmong does come
Hmong tell those monks in my name that
the teacher calls them yes bearable sir
he replied and he went to those monks
and told them the teacher calls the
venerable ones yes friend they replied
and they went to the blessed one and
after paying homage to him they sit down
at one side the blessed one then asked
them monks is it true that you have
taken two quarreling and brawling and
rdp disputes stabbing each other with
barbell daggers that you can either
convenience
each other nor be convinced by others
that you can neither persuade each other
nor be persuaded by others yes venerable
sir here when the Buddha oxen question
egg one by one one by one at the time
Guzman said bunt a you duty is to teach
Dhamma to us please don't associate our
matters so when those monks had like
that Buddha was very upset Deus Hmong
are very rude they are not listening me
then he left them he went to the parolee
of forests and he practiced meditation
during rainy retreat three months so in
that forest there is there was a an
elephant who took here the Buddha every
day brought the fruits from the
different places and offered to the
Buddha when Buddha need water warm water
he made the one water for him and then
he offered to the Buddha at the time a
monkey he saw that wow that animal is
doing every day married oh man I also
had to do something then that monkey was
thinking that what should I do and he
was moving from this tree to that free
distributed free and finally he found
the honey then one day he offered the
honey to the Buddha so at the time but
was practicing meditation when he opened
up his eye then he saw the honey in
front of him but that monkey was little
bit far from the Buddha from that site
he saw that Buddha is accepting or not
his offering so when would the open his
high and he accepted his the monkeys
honey then monkey saw that in his mind
joy and happiness rose he was so happy
then because of happiness he was jumping
from one tree to another tree from
another tree to another tree eventually
he fell down on the stone and passed
away then immediately he reborn in the
heaven because he passed with the happy
mine so on the other hand in Kusum be
the ley supporters stop offering foods
food to the Buddhist monks to suit the
monks and to Winnie amongst during rainy
retreat they couldn't find enough food
to eat they were suffering because laser
cutter said to them because of your
problem because of quarreling our grade
teacher left us so no more food for you
so at the time all the monks suffered a
lot they became a skinny you know and
later on of course they understood their
problem this is our fault this is our
guilty and then negotiated each other
and from there
certain Hmong went to the parolee a
forest so whenever the elephants saw
them a certain among is coming he has
stopped him don't come here but there's
practicing meditation alone but Buddha
saw that he said to 11 please allow him
so that man went to the Buddha paid
respect him and said one side then he
said bunt a suit among sanguinea amongst
the understood that they made a problem
they create a problem so please come
back to Colombia and teach us dumber so
that we can practice well so but I
decided to go back to Kissimmee at that
time the elephant was weeping then
Buddha said to the elephant please don't
be upset I am really grateful to you
because three months you are for me food
you took him a lot so if i give you
dhamma talk to you you will never get
any attainment because you were anymore
but I am blessing you in the future your
life will be beautiful after saying that
the Buddha left paralia forest and that
night delavan weeping weeping weeping
whole night and that night he passed
away and finally he also reborn in
heaven so when the Buddha came back to
Kissimmee he said to the monks monks
what do you think when you take two
quarreling and brawling and a deep in
disputes step in each other with barbell
diggers do you on there okay
asian maintain are so loving kindness by
body speech and mind in public and in
private tours your companions in the
holy life no venerable sir so monks when
you take two quarreling and barling and
are deep in disputes stabbing each other
with barbell daggers on that occasion
you do not maintain air some loving
kindness by body speech and mind in
public and in private towards your
companions in the holy life misguided
man what can you possibly know what can
you see that you take two quarreling and
bawling and are deep in disputes step in
each other with barbell daggers that you
can neither convince each other nor be
convinced by other that you can neither
persuade each other nor be persuaded by
others misguided man that will lead to
your harm and suffering for a long time
then the blessed one addressed the monks
does now he is going to explain how to
live happily harmony with unity months
there are the six principles of
causality that create love and respect
and conduce to cohesion to non dispute
to concord and to unity what are the six
here among maintains Verrilli art of
loving kindness both in public and in
private towards his companions in the
holy life this is a principle of
causality that creates love and respect
and conduces to cohesion to non dispute
to concord and to unity again among
maintains barber
ads of loving-kindness both in public
and in private words his companions in
the holy life this too is a principle of
causality that creates love and respect
and conduces to cohesion to non dispute
to conquer than to unity and nest again
the Buddha said among maintains mental
air so loving kindness both in public
and in private towards his companions in
the holy life this too is a principle of
called called causality that create love
and aspect and conduces to cohesion to
non dispute to concordant unity so here
Buddha try to explain in pali we call
madam kya come on mething was a common
so mething kya comic means bodily arts
of loving kindness mething Vasek among
means verbally heirs of loving kindness
and meten mano come on it means mentally
also loving kindness and now would the
try to say about the precept he said
again among uses things in common with
his pursuers companions in the Holy
Light what does it mean here in this
sentence here try to say when among will
go out to collect the food after
collecting foot when he'll come back to
the temple he will share the food to
other monks who keep the precept so when
I was in Thailand
early morning I went to arms round you
know in Thailand a lot of people they
are for a lot of food so after
collecting the food ida turned back to
the temple and i put in the one big bowl
all the curry all food so when all monk
come back then we would eat together
whatever we need whatever the money that
can take from the big bowl so we did
like that so same thing would try to say
here without making reservations he
shares with them any gain of a kind that
accords with Adama and has been obtained
in a way that occurs with the Dhamma
including even the contents of his bowl
this too is a principle of causality
that creates love and respect and
convinces to cohesion to non dispute to
conquer and to unity again among dwells
both in public and in private possessing
in common with his companions in the
holy life duels vs that are unbroken on
troan on lust and unmarked live
liberating commanded by the wise not
miss apprehended and conducive to
collected pneus so here try to say that
when someone observed the sealer precept
his mind become always come
collectiveness samata in poly this too
is a principle of causality that creates
love and a spare and conditions to
cohesion to non dispute to concordant to
unit
again among duels both in public and in
private possessing in common with his
companions in the holy life that view
that is noble and emancipating and leads
one who practices in accordance with it
to the complete destruction of suffering
so here that hbu that view means
harmonious perspective right
understanding so one who understand
harmonious perspective and practice keep
precept and he can live happily and he
can understand AMA very well and he can
see suffering these two is a principle
of causality that creates love and
respect and convinces to cohesion to Nam
dispute to Concord and to unity there
these are the six principles of
causality that create lab and is fed and
conduce to cohesion to non dispute to
Concord and unity so here as i mentioned
bodily also loving kindness mething kya
come on add the Masuka meditation center
when we play I started practicing
meditation at the beginning we listened
our grade teacher bunt a bee malayalam
see he set us at the beginning please
keep the precept don't break any precept
if you keep the preset very well you
meditational progress very fast
then he said life is meditation
meditation is life it means when you do
something by bodily bodily as we have to
radiate loving-kindness whatever we will
do math tank Iook among bar valley arts
are loving kindness voici met tang wah
see come on when we speak with someone
with a smile we have to speak very
polite very gentle by radiating
loving-kindness and mental heirs of
loving-kindness meten mano come on when
we speak with someone someone became
very angry they were very mad we have to
be very careful so that no hate utilize
in our mind no great greet arising our
mind no last arise in our mind so what
can we do we have to use the six hours
so when we use the sixers last cannot
arise in our mind hatred cannot arise in
our mind even though someone is speak
very root at that time when we will use
the Sixers what are the Sixers recognize
when our mind is destructed release let
it be wherever our mind go away we
should not pay attention there relax at
that time in our head in our brain some
sort of tension and tightness or
so we have to recognize that at that
time when we spend the tension and
tightness then we'll see craving fade
away and we will feel very comfortable
no tension tightness will exist at that
time then real smile the smile means to
be in to bring up wholesome taught in
our mind and return and repeat repeat
means what radiating loving kindness to
a spiritual friend so but all here he
tried to explain more of these dispensa
pulse of cordiality the chip the most
cohesive the most unifying is this view
it means right understanding harmonious
perspective that is noble and
emancipating and whose leads the one who
practices in accordance with it to the
complete destruction of suffering just
as the chip the most cohesive the most
unifying part of a pin up in occult
house a pinnacle house is the pinnacle
itself so too are these six principles
of cordiality that chip the most
cohesive the most unifying is this view
that is doable and emancipating and who
is leads the one who practices in
accordance with it to the complete
destruction of suffering so as I
mentioned earlier
dick sixth principle is to live
peacefully to leave harmony with the
unity and now the Buddha is going to
explain how to realize oneself when
someone attend suta panda when we will
understand his explanation will be able
to understand now I attend sotapanna so
let me see what did the Buddha say how
does this be you that is noble and
emancipating lead the one who practices
in accordance with it to the complete
destruction of suffering here among gone
to the forest and to the road of a tree
or to an empty hurt considers those is
the any obsession an abundant in it
myself that might be abscess my mind
that I cannot know or see things as they
actually er if a person is obsessed by
sensual last then his mind is obsessed
if he is obsessed by ill will then his
man is obsessed if he is obsessed by his
lot and topper then his mind is obsessed
if he is obsessed by Restless
restlessness and anxiety then his mind
is obsessed if he is obsessed by doubt
then his mind is obsessed if among is
consumed in specchio a speculation about
this world then his mind is obsessed if
among is absorbed in a speculation about
the other world
then his man is obsessed if among takes
two quarreling & Burling and is deep in
dispute Stephen others with marble
daggers then his mind is obsessed he
understand us there is no obsession and
abundant in myself that might so
obsessed my mind that I cannot know and
see things as they actually are my mind
is well dispute I'm sorry my mind is
well disposed for wakening to the truths
this is the first knowledge attained by
him that is noble leads to the supra
mundane not shared by ordinary people
again a noble disciple considered us
when I pursue develop and cultivate this
view do i obtain internal serenity here
serenity mean samata do I personally
obtain stillness he understand us when I
pursued develop and cultivate his view I
obtained internal serenity I personally
obtained stillness this is the second
knowledge attained by him that is noble
leads to the supra mundane not shared by
other ordinary people again a noble
disciple considers does is there any
other reclose or Brahman outside the
Buddhist dispensation possessed of abuse
such as I possessed he understand thus
there is no other recluse or Brahman
outside the Buddha's dispensation
possessed of a BU such as I poses this
is the third knowledge attained by him
that
snowball leads to the supra mundane not
shared by ordinary people again a noble
disciple considered us do I possess the
character of a person who possesses
right hbu what is the character of a
person who possesses right hbu this is
the character of a person who possesses
right view although he may commit some
kind of offense for which M means of
rehabilitation this rehabilitation has
been laid down still he advanced
confesses reveals and discloses it to
the teacher or 2 y's companions in the
holy life so here buddha tried to say
when he commit any offense knowingly or
unknowingly unknowingly then he go to
the cinema and he confessed you see like
me one day I was thinking that I break
one rule from 227 then I went to the
bunt a bantha we should confess every
day if you agree I mean he said do you
want to confess every day yes well ok
you can confess no problem then
according to his advice we started
confessing almost every day then I felt
very clear mind no guilty in my mind you
know so that's why Buddha said that
those who are suit apana then ever keep
anything secret in their mind when even
though if they break any rules they
go immediately to the senior Hmong and
confess them in poly we call apathy so
here is still he advanced confesses
reveals and it closes it to the teacher
or two wise companions in the holy life
and have been done that he enters upon
restrained for the future in the future
he never commit any offense said bantha
from today I not commit any offense so I
am announcing you please forgive me just
as a young justice a young tender infant
line pround at once draws back when he
puts his hand or his foot on a live coil
so too that is the correct of a person
who possesses right view he understand
thus I possesses the character of a
person who possesses right view this is
the fourth knowledge attained by him
that his noble leads to the supra
mundane not shared by ordinary people
again a noble disciple considered us do
I possess the character of a person who
possesses right view what is the
character of a person who possesses
right view this is the character of a
person who possesses right view although
he may be active in various matters for
his companions in the Holy live here he
has a keen regard for training in the
higher virtue what does it mean this
this means keeping precept we have to
keep the preceptor in practice
meditation otherwise will never progress
our meditation this is very important
method I actually learned from the
bunted vimala Ramsay are
to come in here also experience a lot
because of keeping precept before I
never realized that even though if we
don't keep recept we may progress
meditation but that was the wrong
concept training in the higher mind how
can we training our mind higher by using
six years again recognize release relax
real smile return and repeat training in
the higher wisdom how can training our
mind and we can gain the high wisdom by
seeing and understanding the link of
dependent origination right so when our
mind become come without distraction
then we will be able to see the link of
dependent origination at the beginning
of course from the ignorance to feeling
we can see very subtle attachment subtle
vibration but from curving to the and we
can see strong attachment when Crevan
rise in our brain in our head then we
can recognize very well justice a cow
with a new calf while she grasped was
his heart keV so to that is the
correction of a person who possesses
right view he understands thus I
possesses the character of a person who
possesses right view this is the thief
knowledge attained by him that is noble
leads to the supra mundane not shared by
ordinary people
again a noble disciple consider does do
I possess the strain to up a person who
possesses right view what is the strain
of a person who possesses right view
this is the strength of a person who
possesses right view when the Dhamma and
discipline proclaimed by the tathagata
is being taught he hits it gives it
attention in cases it with all his mind
here's the Dhamma as with eager ears he
understand thus I possesses the strength
of a person who possesses right view
this is the sixth knowledge attained by
him that is noble leads to the super
mundane or shared by ordinary people
again a noble disciple considers thus do
I possess the strength of a person who
possesses right be you what is the
strength of a person who possesses right
view this is the strength of a person
who possesses right view when the dumb
man discipline discipline proclaimed by
the tathagata is being taught he gains
inspiration in the meaning he gains
inspiration in the dhamma and he gains
relief connected with Adama he
understand thus I possess it I possess
the strength of a person who possesses
right view this is the seventh knowledge
attained by him that is mobile leads to
the supra mundane not shared by ordinary
people when a noble disciple is thus
possessed of seven factors he has well
short the character of for realization
of the fruit of instrument ree that is
what the Blessed One said the monks were
satisfied and delighted in the Blessed
One words so when he will understand
these seven factors it will be very
clear
to us that we really attend shut up on
now fusion so no need to tell us by
other but here big deal is we have to
try to lead the suta again and again
again and again and practice again and
again again and again then later on we
will be able to understand very clearly
so these are the Columbia suta that
about the explain to the monks by
reading the Sutra actually I have the
strong confidence that Buddha explained
very clearly here how to become noble so
I hope all of you understand my
explanation eventually they all live in
beans be happy and peaceful may all live
in beans finally attained Nibhana sidhu
sidhu so the suffering ones be suffering
free and the fairest I fearless be made
a great friendship all grieved and may
all be fine relief may all been shared
is married that we have thus acquired
for the acquisition of all kinds of
happiness may beans in everything a
space in earth their words and nagisa
mighty power she had this marriage of
ours made a long protect the Buddha's
dispensation sidhu sidhu
