okay so we are here today on June 27

2016 with bought a dremel Ramsay The

Advocate on secure Meditation Center and

we will footage from Malaysia

originally from Sri Lanka and tonight we

have a discussion between both so I was

asked today about the acronym twin why

do we have the word wisdom in it the

word Samadhi is always translated as

concentration rice-davies in his

dictionary said that the word Samadhi

was never used before the time of the

Buddha there were many other words for

the word concentration but the Buddha

wanted to use a different word so it

would describe a different type of

meditation sama means

tranquil D according to I think was bad

adapte he had a dictionary it was in his

dictionary D meant wisdom so that's why

we call a tranquil wisdom insight

meditation you have to have very very

calm mind to be able to see the links of

dependent origination any time you hear

the word wise or wisdom in the suit des

it's talking about seeing the links of

dependent origination and understanding

how this process works

and I wanted you to comment on this

I hear properly

oh I'm sorry he said probably turn my

head towards you

sama is tranquil D according to the

Bodhisattva is wisdom yeah I miss them

and that's why we we called this

tranquil wisdom there is insight in this

meditation yeah

meditation WI

rice-davies in his dictionary said that

the word samadhi was never used before

the buddha started using it to describe

a different kind of meditation than

one-point-two concentration hmm is that

correct well yeah some of the ie

translated as tranquillity not

concentration I don't use the word

concentrate I learned that from you yeah

tell some of my students the word

concentration is like yeah four-letter

word in English we don't yeah yeah

do you agree with me when I say that the

word wisdom when it's used in the sutras

is talking about dependent origination

well I have no objection to using the

word wisdom because wisdom I see as the

result of meditation that means you

begin to understand or comprehend what

we dare to understand not Samet Samadhi

D is wisdom

translations are different it depends on

the person that does the interpretation

of the word their understanding of it I

think there's not a very important

problem because this is all connected

with wisdom and the tranquil mind is

able to understand things and Andreo

these things yeah

I've seem to be criticized a lot about

the instructions and mindfulness of

breathing when it says to tranquilize

the bodily formation on the in-breath

and tranquilize on the out-breath mm-hmm

there are some Australian monks that say

when you practice one pointed

concentration your mind is tranquil but

the word possum by it means it's a verb

or a noun or an adjective and the only

way we know that this is

a verb to tranquilize mm-hmm is because

of he trains thus it doesn't say he

trained to us and McCain trampled it

says that you trained us to tranquilize

and there's a lot of people because of

some translations that when they're

talking about mindfulness of breathing

they call it the the body of breath that

they have to be aware of my

understanding is that that there's too

much emphasis put on breath

and not enough emphasis on tranquilize

and what I see is there has to be this

tranquilization on me any breath and

tranquilization

on the out-breath of body this is one of

my favorite little tools there's a

membrane that goes over this and in

between and over it's called the

meninges every time the meninges every

time there's a thought feeling or

sensation the brain pushes against the

meninges and it causes like tension so

what I think that to me is on the

in-breath you relax so that there's no

tightness against the meninges on the

in-breath you do that on the out-breath

you do that and I have been criticized

by an awful lot of people that practice

many different forms of meditation

saying no that's wrong because it's the

body of breath that you have to

tranquilize

and when that happens what I would I

tell people is they're focusing too much

on the breath and not recognizing that

the tightness is how you recognize crazy

you agree with that

so and of course you have the spinal

cord going all the way down and the

meninges is around that whole thing so

when you relax that tightness that you

feel here you're actually tranquilizing

the whole body well the way I see it is

like this now we read the sutras

satipatthana Sutra the Buddha says

for him Oak inserting port-au-patois

that means Sato of society's Sato

Pavarotti that photo assisity photo

pastor you are aware of the breathing in

and aware of the breathing out you see

there is a mistake made by the

commentators that mistake is you see the

word for emote inserting no

port-au-patois there the word mukha the

translators mouth mouth

Mooka they say mouth and peri means

around around the mouth

Parramatta means around the mouth and

then they say around the mouth is the

upper lip then they say upper lip means

the nostril and then they say

concentrate concentrating on the nostril

that is what you should do when you

breathe in and breathe out what I am

saying is that that is wrong what is

called mukha is not mouth Mooka is face

now when I said this in Malaysia the

people in Malaysia said yes according to

our language MOCA means stress that

means that is the real original meaning

of the word mucker is not mouth but in

the sri lankan language signal is P

they use the word mocker to refer to the

mouth so I think that is a mistake that

they made but the real original meaning

of maka is face now the other point is

Perry maka per image around now we say

the environment is called parasara Paree

means around environment is what is

around you and para mukha means around

the face now around the face means your

attention normally you all your senses

since organs I'm the face the eyes in

the face notes in the face the tongue in

the face the years in the face now in

when an animal like a dog walks in

forelegs is the face that goes in front

not now the human being only because the

human being is standing on two legs the

face is not going forward like that but

still it is the face that is in front

and because all the organs this kind

affairs so around the face means

whatever is seen around you and that

means the eye whatever the I see outside

and whatever the year here is outside

everything is going around you and for

amou Consulting's

the word sati really means

attention so per mo consulting means the

attention that is focused on what is

around you Parham consulting Cooper

tabatha Cooper means inside upper means

outside hoop remains inside so Cooper

tappet homage to to establish that means

the attention that is focused on

external things must be withdrawn from

that and focused within that is the

meaning of that and focus within means

Kryon pasa la Vida nanopatch Amma Chetan

palma de mon mothma

that means you are focusing on the body

the feelings in the body the emotional

state in the mind and the thoughts in

the wine their emotional state means the

the word that normally used in English

is what we call the mold

MWD mode what is your mode that state of

the emotional state is the mode

are you angry or are you greedy or are

you trying to know are you worried that

is the moon so the cheetah really means

the moon and the word mano refers to the

thinking part the thinking reasoning you

find out whether it is true or false

good or bad the thinking part he

the mono and what is in the balloon is

the thought so when we say mono dama

just like we said choco Krupa chikuwa

the eye Rupa is the mental image that we

see is not material but we take it as

material means image now when we say we

are going to draw a picture that is

called Rupa that picture is called Rupa

when men a camera takes a picture the

picture is the ropa so our eyes also

like a camera taking pictures and

whatever we see when I see a chair there

it is stinky a picture in the eye what's

that

Buddha group Rupa

[Music]

what's that I learned here that problem

okay he wants to know if the root word

for our Rupa is Rupa Rupa ah Rupa Arita

yeah a Rupa means not true / that means

not a Robin is not true / Rupa is the

picture a Rupa means not a picture yeah

what I this is the four are the form no

no this is wide the picture is they use

the word form to refer to the picture is

a picture that you see that form is

another word they used to refer to a

picture I have an objection to that word

the word word mindfulness is to fill the

mind but what you are really trying to

do is to empty the mind not to fill the

buying mindfulness means you are fully

conscious that is the meaning of

mindfulness so this is your this is the

problem here is are you focusing on

external things or are you focusing on

what is going on inside you so the

satipatthana is to focus on what is

going on inside you not what is going on

outside but what is going on inside is

your reaction to what is going on

outside so instead of looking at what is

going on outside we have to take our

mind in

works and look at the reaction because

it is the reaction that we are trying to

get rid of that's to observe your mind

so yeah that's what it is to observe

what is going on outside but what is

happening to your mind yeah something to

say yeah better by practicing meta

whether you can become a attended one is

that what you're saying now if you take

the sutra on meta do you know how the

sutra ends you don't know that it ends

by saying the tincture

Anupa gamma das Elena sambar no coming

to Vienna yoga Dan Nigel to cabassa

young Pune relativity you have to

understand the meaning of that what it

says is if you practice this matter in

the proper way at the end you will not

enter a mother's womb or that means you

won't be

[Laughter]

you can that what that means if if you

practice meta Corolla Moneta opaque I'm

the proper way you can become according

to a commentary no the thing is when you

practice meta Karuna modi topic you are

starting with somewhat little meta her

own eyes Samata then when you come to

mudita you are still at summit but when

you get into pika you know the meaning

of opec rrah

what is that that is the wrong

translation

this is the wrong translator who Pekka

means

uper okati I told you oppa means inside

outside this upper our uper Academy is

seeing seeing the inside you know this

is a very important meaning seeing the

inside means now when you look at that

chair there raise the chair the chair is

outside there is not inside you see but

if you instead of looking at the chair

outside if you begin to look at the

process of seeing the process of seeing

is something going on inside did you

understand that the seeing and what you

see and how you see these why you use

those words what you see is outside

there how you see is inside here so when

you talk about seeing the inside you are

really looking at the process of

perception the see what how you see so

instead of looking at what you see you

must look at look at how you see and it

is only when you look at how you see

that the real inside comes the real

insight is

what you see there although you see it

like that it is really inside you

because your eye is like a camera taking

pictures and the big tailings idea not

there so the whole world that you see

outside is really inside you see the

Buddha is called fatality the meaning of

that cut is like this English word that

that you know the English word that that

is always outside there that eyelid how

that means come I have come and that

means that I have arrived at that that

is the meaning of that Agata one who has

arrived at that that means that that has

been seen as this what is the insight

you see in other words there is no

object there but there is only the

subject this is what you know there was

during the time of the Buddha there was

a person called da da da da root Iria

what

by is our chariot now he he had been

meditating and he was very advanced in

meditation and he thought he was an

errand but his mother was born as a

devil and the mother looked at him from

the they were local and saw that he was

not a Navajo and that he was also going

to die soon so the mother came and said

you think you are at our heart but you

are not an arahant the real aren t there

that the buddha go and talk to him

because you are going to die very soon

so he got accepted and he went to see

the buddha and then the buddha was going

on Binda path

so when buddha was going on reading

about the dead the Buddha said I can

teach you now I'll go finish the Pinta

part and then I will talk to you he said

no no no don't do that please

because I might die at any moment

so they put the looked into his and then

he saw that deal it is true that he was

going to die soon so the Buddha said

okay I will teach you and he said in the

scene there is only the sea in the scene

means it's EE n see in the scene

there is only the seeing is e ing you

see so that means what you see outside

there is really the seeing inside what

you see so that is the important thing

to understand that is the meaning of

totality and also the Hindus the Hindus

borrowed some Buddhist ideas from the

Buddha but and incorporated in there

Upanishads and things like that so is

there is a common saying among the

Hindus that thomassie taught Trump ah si

that means that that tuam means you so

Tata mercy means you are that that means

you are the subject that is the object

so what what they are saying is the same

thing that the subject the object is

really the subject and that is the

meaning of Tatanka that the Buddha so

many ways he is talking about the same

thing so ultimately what we call insight

is really becoming aware of the process

of perception normally people aware of

the object that we see but here the

Buddha or the Iran is looking at now if

you read the the first sutras the bunch

of money crime Agana sutra that Agana

sutra

that is what the Buddha is pointing out

there he's comparing how the ordinary

person sees things in the world then how

the person who is meditating sees the

world then he points out how the arahant

who has finished meditation we have

perfected and how the Buddha says this

is the same thing he points out

patterning party with o sanjaya naughty

but I mean part of it means solid any

any solid that we are thinking is a

solid normally people see the solid that

is forgiving part of it o sanjaya navi

and perturbing petrova toes Sonia - ah

but having magnetic that means having

seen the part of a the object he comes

to the conclusion there is an object

there that is the normal person but the

aha

Butterbean part Obito abhijanati that

that word abhijanati the ordinary person

was Sangha naughty sangun aunty just

seen the thing a maternity is a higher

level of seeing which is not seeing the

object but seeing how the object is seen

that is the abhijanati and then he says

but having part Obito a boniato

but having no magnetic he doesn't come

to the conclusion that there is the care

there that is the important thing about

the arounds more laborious that's right

here is the more per year suit about

Daru giri you are talking about Darwin

theory what Susan yeah because he saw

from the as a devil he was able to read

this minor the Devas are able to read

the bind

what is it yeah oh yes yes there is my

undermined communication that way boys

they have certain powers that we don't

have they was there are so many other

power that they have which we don't have

you have to become mad ever to find out

no it is like you are able to work and

you are able to talk maybe some other

animals are not able to do that

everything is like that you say so you

are born with certain abilities what

meta bow how the tooth mouth to mr. Bao

now you tell me one is that what you

asked

huh well what is it he wants to know

about the 40 different

the meditation whether you can what

event the 40 different kinds of

meditation invisibie mada uh-huh

he wants to know if you can attain

nirvana with oars

no no no the 40 different kinds of

meditation they are what is called

Samata Bhavana

so the samata bhavana can only calm the

mind it doesn't bring you insight the

insight comes from a different kind of

meditation that is the bee person about

what oh yeah yeah yeah yeah the five

aggregates and the four foundations of

mindfulness yeah yeah are the same thing

yeah yeah well you were in the John you

can have inside if according to my way

of thinking yes

no the thing is that not the first

German you have to get to the fourth

jhana to get the insight once you are in

the fourth jhana you can get

inside there well maybe I don't know but

how do you say that the first jhana you

can get inside yeah yeah yeah minded

spiel okay but that doesn't mean need

one no well in the first jhana there are

no hindrances therefore the mind is pure

but although the mind is pure you have

not become an around no yeah no no

insides also there are different degrees

of insight that's right yeah we explain

yeah you don't take it personally

anymore oh yeah yeah your feeling of

self disappeared in the first jhana yeah

you can call it an insight but the thing

is that is not permanent

no that is why no no means if you if you

become enter the first jhana your mind

is purified even the thought of self

disappears but when your mind gets

polluted again that disappears so but

that is a temporary purification of the

mind absolutely

but there is inside no inside but I am

from calling inside is the permanent

purification of the mind where you begin

to understand the

the truth about life and then you won't

be polluted again that is the other half

that is they are know that our hunter

state cannot come in the first jump I

didn't say that yeah you can get inside

in the verge Anna yes but not to the

level of understanding yeah yeah yeah

yeah you can become an arahant in the

fortune that you can become and you can

experience any bottom well you have a

Sutra that says that yes ah fifty one or

two I don't remember

[Music]

well look at that what's the name of the

Sutra article Margret Sutra

so when I'm teaching when I'm thinking

or meditation I tell people that they

have the potential to attain nirvana and

it can happen at any time

it depends on that person and their

understanding but the Vedas written here

it looks like in the first channel you

can be coming around here

[Music]

but the thing with me awakening changers

is that they will come together and then

will be in perfect balance and there is

in the new pilot suit

it says even in the first jhana there is

some beta and and when when you

experience it you see it because you see

that there's to a certain amount of

balance it's not real strong but it is

there

we have to look into this yeah okay

looks like but you're saying is correct

I didn't hear that properly my heart's

up to here

yes why did he reject what was the

practice

they look back to see down to this is

why I was talking this morning about the

difference between absorption jhana and

twin mm-hmm

I was rejecting I was talking about the

difference between what the monk from

Australia you were talking about his

teaching as compared with what I was

teaching

ah and the difference is he was teaching

absorption concentration absorption

concentration a kind of hypnosis

yeah yeah yeah yeah that's why it

doesn't lead to any bother

yeah yeah but what I'm teaching by

letting go of and relaxing the crazy

yeah yeah it changes back to the path

and it does lead to me by what he's

asking is why did the Buddha reject

Alara Kalama and Kodaka Rama puta they

they said come and teach and he said no

not satisfied because he wasn't

recognizing the craving that he kept

bringing back to his object of

meditation and that took him off the

path that he was looking for can they

have a look at that yeah this is this

about Laura Kalama my teacher ready to

stop into that top right there

and that is one of the reasons I have a

problem with Samata meditation and the

personal meditation

oh no this what this means is that now

the Alara Kalama and the quran put the

word that teachers and that even

afternoon so the buddha was able the

buddha not buddha at that time prince

ADATA he was able to read the level that

Alara Kalama had reached and so Allah

Rama said now you have read the same

level that I have reached so be here we

will be two teachers teaching these

people so the princes daughter said no I

don't want to be your teacher and I want

to go further than that yeah I want to

go further than that and even to get the

grammar put now there would the Kurama

put had read the same level that Allah

column had reached but he said my

teacher who is now dead my teacher who

is Allah who the Kurama he had reached

the next stage highest stage and I can

tell you what he told me and if you like

you can try it

so he said okay you tell me and then he

was told and he tried that and he read

that stage of non-return and laundry

universe at navel

nasayaat you know so then this the

Kurama of the morrow the Kurama puta

said now you have reached the level of

my teacher so I will treat you as my

teacher you stay here then he said no

I'm not interested in being your teacher

I want to go further and that is how he

went to do a citizen he thought there is

no on the way I will try in the ascetic

life and that is how he started fasting

and he became like a skeleton and

ultimately he even started to stop

breathing and when he started to stop

breathing

then he fainted and fell and then when

he woke up he thought I have been doing

the wrong things all this time and

because I have been trying to learn from

other people I have to go my own way not

to go after other people and then he

recalled that when he was a child he was

able to enter the first jungle and so he

thought now I will give up everything

and I into the first German

a different genre that what he was

practicing with these other teachers oh

yeah yeah yeah it is something different

yeah and and that that Jana was

something that automatically came to him

as a child there was no one to teach him

because he has been practicing all the

power of with us all this time and so he

automatically entered that so he got

into that III I call it just letting go

that is what he did it's not really a

Nibbana Swati

it was just letting go giving up

everything letting go means relaxing

he's the main thing that he did was

relaxing nothing else just relaxed and

so when he relaxed he entered the first

jhana automatically because he was free

from the hindrances when he's free from

the hindrances and then of course from

the first jhana he went to the 3rd 2nd

3rd and 4th jhana and then he went even

to the others as an entitlement winner

and children he rental Sonia vada eaten

erode so when he went to Sonia vada Nero

the that King Cole mind was absent at

that point so he had only the physical

body which is alive and there was a

temperature in the body and that is all

that is the difference between a dead

body and a person who has entered that

state so there was no mind as such and

then when he came out of that what came

was Vadodara and Sonia and Maidana and

Sonia

is the cheeto Sankar there are three son

Cara's - Clara what is Shankar and

chitosan car so vision our son neither

Sankara then from Quito sankhara he came

back again one by one and came to the

third jhana when he had the third John

and the breathing spots that is the cars

on rod and then when he came to the

first jhana the vitarka vichara and we

did the verbal Sankar what he sang hard

and then with that he began to

understand how the particle sama father

he understood through that and that is

how he ultimately became the Buddha so

this is very interesting to understand

oh you know another one it's called

origination yeah before my awakening

while I was still a bodhisattva not

fully awakened it occurred to me alas

the world has fallen into trouble this

sister shows how the Buddha before he

became the Buddha figured out the links

of the

than origination yeah I wouldn't figure

go all how they were it's called

origination it's and then me Dinah suta

number look at do you have a copy of it

will give you the page number

that's the difference between

intellectual knowledge and knowing and

see the direct experience that's the

realization you can have all of this

knowledge and know it intellectually but

that doesn't mean you're going to attain

anybody mom but when you realize it you

see it it's very deep that is the way it

works so it's your understanding knowing

NZ

so I guess you're holding the hippy book

again so why don't we share the merit

and call us okay

any suffering one must be suffering free

the fierce trot fearless beat me the

grieving shed all breathe and all be

inspired

may all being shared this merit that

we've just acquired for the acquisition

of all kinds of happiness may beings

inhabiting space that birth because and

noggins of mighty power protect the

you

[Music]

[Music]

okay so we are here today on June 27

2016 with bought a dremel Ramsay The

Advocate on secure Meditation Center and

we will footage from Malaysia

originally from Sri Lanka and tonight we

have a discussion between both so I was

asked today about the acronym twin why

do we have the word wisdom in it the

word Samadhi is always translated as

concentration rice-davies in his

dictionary said that the word Samadhi

was never used before the time of the

Buddha there were many other words for

the word concentration but the Buddha

wanted to use a different word so it

would describe a different type of

meditation sama means

tranquil D according to I think was bad

adapte he had a dictionary it was in his

dictionary D meant wisdom so that's why

we call a tranquil wisdom insight

meditation you have to have very very

calm mind to be able to see the links of

dependent origination any time you hear

the word wise or wisdom in the suit des

it's talking about seeing the links of

dependent origination and understanding

how this process works

and I wanted you to comment on this

I hear properly

oh I'm sorry he said probably turn my

head towards you

sama is tranquil D according to the

Bodhisattva is wisdom yeah I miss them

and that's why we we called this

tranquil wisdom there is insight in this

meditation yeah

meditation WI

rice-davies in his dictionary said that

the word samadhi was never used before

the buddha started using it to describe

a different kind of meditation than

one-point-two concentration hmm is that

correct well yeah some of the ie

translated as tranquillity not

concentration I don't use the word

concentrate I learned that from you yeah

tell some of my students the word

concentration is like yeah four-letter

word in English we don't yeah yeah

do you agree with me when I say that the

word wisdom when it's used in the sutras

is talking about dependent origination

well I have no objection to using the

word wisdom because wisdom I see as the

result of meditation that means you

begin to understand or comprehend what

we dare to understand not Samet Samadhi

D is wisdom

translations are different it depends on

the person that does the interpretation

of the word their understanding of it I

think there's not a very important

problem because this is all connected

with wisdom and the tranquil mind is

able to understand things and Andreo

these things yeah

I've seem to be criticized a lot about

the instructions and mindfulness of

breathing when it says to tranquilize

the bodily formation on the in-breath

and tranquilize on the out-breath mm-hmm

there are some Australian monks that say

when you practice one pointed

concentration your mind is tranquil but

the word possum by it means it's a verb

or a noun or an adjective and the only

way we know that this is

a verb to tranquilize mm-hmm is because

of he trains thus it doesn't say he

trained to us and McCain trampled it

says that you trained us to tranquilize

and there's a lot of people because of

some translations that when they're

talking about mindfulness of breathing

they call it the the body of breath that

they have to be aware of my

understanding is that that there's too

much emphasis put on breath

and not enough emphasis on tranquilize

and what I see is there has to be this

tranquilization on me any breath and

tranquilization

on the out-breath of body this is one of

my favorite little tools there's a

membrane that goes over this and in

between and over it's called the

meninges every time the meninges every

time there's a thought feeling or

sensation the brain pushes against the

meninges and it causes like tension so

what I think that to me is on the

in-breath you relax so that there's no

tightness against the meninges on the

in-breath you do that on the out-breath

you do that and I have been criticized

by an awful lot of people that practice

many different forms of meditation

saying no that's wrong because it's the

body of breath that you have to

tranquilize

and when that happens what I would I

tell people is they're focusing too much

on the breath and not recognizing that

the tightness is how you recognize crazy

you agree with that

so and of course you have the spinal

cord going all the way down and the

meninges is around that whole thing so

when you relax that tightness that you

feel here you're actually tranquilizing

the whole body well the way I see it is

like this now we read the sutras

satipatthana Sutra the Buddha says

for him Oak inserting port-au-patois

that means Sato of society's Sato

Pavarotti that photo assisity photo

pastor you are aware of the breathing in

and aware of the breathing out you see

there is a mistake made by the

commentators that mistake is you see the

word for emote inserting no

port-au-patois there the word mukha the

translators mouth mouth

Mooka they say mouth and peri means

around around the mouth

Parramatta means around the mouth and

then they say around the mouth is the

upper lip then they say upper lip means

the nostril and then they say

concentrate concentrating on the nostril

that is what you should do when you

breathe in and breathe out what I am

saying is that that is wrong what is

called mukha is not mouth Mooka is face

now when I said this in Malaysia the

people in Malaysia said yes according to

our language MOCA means stress that

means that is the real original meaning

of the word mucker is not mouth but in

the sri lankan language signal is P

they use the word mocker to refer to the

mouth so I think that is a mistake that

they made but the real original meaning

of maka is face now the other point is

Perry maka per image around now we say

the environment is called parasara Paree

means around environment is what is

around you and para mukha means around

the face now around the face means your

attention normally you all your senses

since organs I'm the face the eyes in

the face notes in the face the tongue in

the face the years in the face now in

when an animal like a dog walks in

forelegs is the face that goes in front

not now the human being only because the

human being is standing on two legs the

face is not going forward like that but

still it is the face that is in front

and because all the organs this kind

affairs so around the face means

whatever is seen around you and that

means the eye whatever the I see outside

and whatever the year here is outside

everything is going around you and for

amou Consulting's

the word sati really means

attention so per mo consulting means the

attention that is focused on what is

around you Parham consulting Cooper

tabatha Cooper means inside upper means

outside hoop remains inside so Cooper

tappet homage to to establish that means

the attention that is focused on

external things must be withdrawn from

that and focused within that is the

meaning of that and focus within means

Kryon pasa la Vida nanopatch Amma Chetan

palma de mon mothma

that means you are focusing on the body

the feelings in the body the emotional

state in the mind and the thoughts in

the wine their emotional state means the

the word that normally used in English

is what we call the mold

MWD mode what is your mode that state of

the emotional state is the mode

are you angry or are you greedy or are

you trying to know are you worried that

is the moon so the cheetah really means

the moon and the word mano refers to the

thinking part the thinking reasoning you

find out whether it is true or false

good or bad the thinking part he

the mono and what is in the balloon is

the thought so when we say mono dama

just like we said choco Krupa chikuwa

the eye Rupa is the mental image that we

see is not material but we take it as

material means image now when we say we

are going to draw a picture that is

called Rupa that picture is called Rupa

when men a camera takes a picture the

picture is the ropa so our eyes also

like a camera taking pictures and

whatever we see when I see a chair there

it is stinky a picture in the eye what's

that

Buddha group Rupa

[Music]

what's that I learned here that problem

okay he wants to know if the root word

for our Rupa is Rupa Rupa ah Rupa Arita

yeah a Rupa means not true / that means

not a Robin is not true / Rupa is the

picture a Rupa means not a picture yeah

what I this is the four are the form no

no this is wide the picture is they use

the word form to refer to the picture is

a picture that you see that form is

another word they used to refer to a

picture I have an objection to that word

the word word mindfulness is to fill the

mind but what you are really trying to

do is to empty the mind not to fill the

buying mindfulness means you are fully

conscious that is the meaning of

mindfulness so this is your this is the

problem here is are you focusing on

external things or are you focusing on

what is going on inside you so the

satipatthana is to focus on what is

going on inside you not what is going on

outside but what is going on inside is

your reaction to what is going on

outside so instead of looking at what is

going on outside we have to take our

mind in

works and look at the reaction because

it is the reaction that we are trying to

get rid of that's to observe your mind

so yeah that's what it is to observe

what is going on outside but what is

happening to your mind yeah something to

say yeah better by practicing meta

whether you can become a attended one is

that what you're saying now if you take

the sutra on meta do you know how the

sutra ends you don't know that it ends

by saying the tincture

Anupa gamma das Elena sambar no coming

to Vienna yoga Dan Nigel to cabassa

young Pune relativity you have to

understand the meaning of that what it

says is if you practice this matter in

the proper way at the end you will not

enter a mother's womb or that means you

won't be

[Laughter]

you can that what that means if if you

practice meta Corolla Moneta opaque I'm

the proper way you can become according

to a commentary no the thing is when you

practice meta Karuna modi topic you are

starting with somewhat little meta her

own eyes Samata then when you come to

mudita you are still at summit but when

you get into pika you know the meaning

of opec rrah

what is that that is the wrong

translation

this is the wrong translator who Pekka

means

uper okati I told you oppa means inside

outside this upper our uper Academy is

seeing seeing the inside you know this

is a very important meaning seeing the

inside means now when you look at that

chair there raise the chair the chair is

outside there is not inside you see but

if you instead of looking at the chair

outside if you begin to look at the

process of seeing the process of seeing

is something going on inside did you

understand that the seeing and what you

see and how you see these why you use

those words what you see is outside

there how you see is inside here so when

you talk about seeing the inside you are

really looking at the process of

perception the see what how you see so

instead of looking at what you see you

must look at look at how you see and it

is only when you look at how you see

that the real inside comes the real

insight is

what you see there although you see it

like that it is really inside you

because your eye is like a camera taking

pictures and the big tailings idea not

there so the whole world that you see

outside is really inside you see the

Buddha is called fatality the meaning of

that cut is like this English word that

that you know the English word that that

is always outside there that eyelid how

that means come I have come and that

means that I have arrived at that that

is the meaning of that Agata one who has

arrived at that that means that that has

been seen as this what is the insight

you see in other words there is no

object there but there is only the

subject this is what you know there was

during the time of the Buddha there was

a person called da da da da root Iria

what

by is our chariot now he he had been

meditating and he was very advanced in

meditation and he thought he was an

errand but his mother was born as a

devil and the mother looked at him from

the they were local and saw that he was

not a Navajo and that he was also going

to die soon so the mother came and said

you think you are at our heart but you

are not an arahant the real aren t there

that the buddha go and talk to him

because you are going to die very soon

so he got accepted and he went to see

the buddha and then the buddha was going

on Binda path

so when buddha was going on reading

about the dead the Buddha said I can

teach you now I'll go finish the Pinta

part and then I will talk to you he said

no no no don't do that please

because I might die at any moment

so they put the looked into his and then

he saw that deal it is true that he was

going to die soon so the Buddha said

okay I will teach you and he said in the

scene there is only the sea in the scene

means it's EE n see in the scene

there is only the seeing is e ing you

see so that means what you see outside

there is really the seeing inside what

you see so that is the important thing

to understand that is the meaning of

totality and also the Hindus the Hindus

borrowed some Buddhist ideas from the

Buddha but and incorporated in there

Upanishads and things like that so is

there is a common saying among the

Hindus that thomassie taught Trump ah si

that means that that tuam means you so

Tata mercy means you are that that means

you are the subject that is the object

so what what they are saying is the same

thing that the subject the object is

really the subject and that is the

meaning of Tatanka that the Buddha so

many ways he is talking about the same

thing so ultimately what we call insight

is really becoming aware of the process

of perception normally people aware of

the object that we see but here the

Buddha or the Iran is looking at now if

you read the the first sutras the bunch

of money crime Agana sutra that Agana

sutra

that is what the Buddha is pointing out

there he's comparing how the ordinary

person sees things in the world then how

the person who is meditating sees the

world then he points out how the arahant

who has finished meditation we have

perfected and how the Buddha says this

is the same thing he points out

patterning party with o sanjaya naughty

but I mean part of it means solid any

any solid that we are thinking is a

solid normally people see the solid that

is forgiving part of it o sanjaya navi

and perturbing petrova toes Sonia - ah

but having magnetic that means having

seen the part of a the object he comes

to the conclusion there is an object

there that is the normal person but the

aha

Butterbean part Obito abhijanati that

that word abhijanati the ordinary person

was Sangha naughty sangun aunty just

seen the thing a maternity is a higher

level of seeing which is not seeing the

object but seeing how the object is seen

that is the abhijanati and then he says

but having part Obito a boniato

but having no magnetic he doesn't come

to the conclusion that there is the care

there that is the important thing about

the arounds more laborious that's right

here is the more per year suit about

Daru giri you are talking about Darwin

theory what Susan yeah because he saw

from the as a devil he was able to read

this minor the Devas are able to read

the bind

what is it yeah oh yes yes there is my

undermined communication that way boys

they have certain powers that we don't

have they was there are so many other

power that they have which we don't have

you have to become mad ever to find out

no it is like you are able to work and

you are able to talk maybe some other

animals are not able to do that

everything is like that you say so you

are born with certain abilities what

meta bow how the tooth mouth to mr. Bao

now you tell me one is that what you

asked

huh well what is it he wants to know

about the 40 different

the meditation whether you can what

event the 40 different kinds of

meditation invisibie mada uh-huh

he wants to know if you can attain

nirvana with oars

no no no the 40 different kinds of

meditation they are what is called

Samata Bhavana

so the samata bhavana can only calm the

mind it doesn't bring you insight the

insight comes from a different kind of

meditation that is the bee person about

what oh yeah yeah yeah yeah the five

aggregates and the four foundations of

mindfulness yeah yeah are the same thing

yeah yeah well you were in the John you

can have inside if according to my way

of thinking yes

no the thing is that not the first

German you have to get to the fourth

jhana to get the insight once you are in

the fourth jhana you can get

inside there well maybe I don't know but

how do you say that the first jhana you

can get inside yeah yeah yeah minded

spiel okay but that doesn't mean need

one no well in the first jhana there are

no hindrances therefore the mind is pure

but although the mind is pure you have

not become an around no yeah no no

insides also there are different degrees

of insight that's right yeah we explain

yeah you don't take it personally

anymore oh yeah yeah your feeling of

self disappeared in the first jhana yeah

you can call it an insight but the thing

is that is not permanent

no that is why no no means if you if you

become enter the first jhana your mind

is purified even the thought of self

disappears but when your mind gets

polluted again that disappears so but

that is a temporary purification of the

mind absolutely

but there is inside no inside but I am

from calling inside is the permanent

purification of the mind where you begin

to understand the

the truth about life and then you won't

be polluted again that is the other half

that is they are know that our hunter

state cannot come in the first jump I

didn't say that yeah you can get inside

in the verge Anna yes but not to the

level of understanding yeah yeah yeah

yeah you can become an arahant in the

fortune that you can become and you can

experience any bottom well you have a

Sutra that says that yes ah fifty one or

two I don't remember

[Music]

well look at that what's the name of the

Sutra article Margret Sutra

so when I'm teaching when I'm thinking

or meditation I tell people that they

have the potential to attain nirvana and

it can happen at any time

it depends on that person and their

understanding but the Vedas written here

it looks like in the first channel you

can be coming around here

[Music]

but the thing with me awakening changers

is that they will come together and then

will be in perfect balance and there is

in the new pilot suit

it says even in the first jhana there is

some beta and and when when you

experience it you see it because you see

that there's to a certain amount of

balance it's not real strong but it is

there

we have to look into this yeah okay

looks like but you're saying is correct

I didn't hear that properly my heart's

up to here

yes why did he reject what was the

practice

they look back to see down to this is

why I was talking this morning about the

difference between absorption jhana and

twin mm-hmm

I was rejecting I was talking about the

difference between what the monk from

Australia you were talking about his

teaching as compared with what I was

teaching

ah and the difference is he was teaching

absorption concentration absorption

concentration a kind of hypnosis

yeah yeah yeah yeah that's why it

doesn't lead to any bother

yeah yeah but what I'm teaching by

letting go of and relaxing the crazy

yeah yeah it changes back to the path

and it does lead to me by what he's

asking is why did the Buddha reject

Alara Kalama and Kodaka Rama puta they

they said come and teach and he said no

not satisfied because he wasn't

recognizing the craving that he kept

bringing back to his object of

meditation and that took him off the

path that he was looking for can they

have a look at that yeah this is this

about Laura Kalama my teacher ready to

stop into that top right there

and that is one of the reasons I have a

problem with Samata meditation and the

personal meditation

oh no this what this means is that now

the Alara Kalama and the quran put the

word that teachers and that even

afternoon so the buddha was able the

buddha not buddha at that time prince

ADATA he was able to read the level that

Alara Kalama had reached and so Allah

Rama said now you have read the same

level that I have reached so be here we

will be two teachers teaching these

people so the princes daughter said no I

don't want to be your teacher and I want

to go further than that yeah I want to

go further than that and even to get the

grammar put now there would the Kurama

put had read the same level that Allah

column had reached but he said my

teacher who is now dead my teacher who

is Allah who the Kurama he had reached

the next stage highest stage and I can

tell you what he told me and if you like

you can try it

so he said okay you tell me and then he

was told and he tried that and he read

that stage of non-return and laundry

universe at navel

nasayaat you know so then this the

Kurama of the morrow the Kurama puta

said now you have reached the level of

my teacher so I will treat you as my

teacher you stay here then he said no

I'm not interested in being your teacher

I want to go further and that is how he

went to do a citizen he thought there is

no on the way I will try in the ascetic

life and that is how he started fasting

and he became like a skeleton and

ultimately he even started to stop

breathing and when he started to stop

breathing

then he fainted and fell and then when

he woke up he thought I have been doing

the wrong things all this time and

because I have been trying to learn from

other people I have to go my own way not

to go after other people and then he

recalled that when he was a child he was

able to enter the first jungle and so he

thought now I will give up everything

and I into the first German

a different genre that what he was

practicing with these other teachers oh

yeah yeah yeah it is something different

yeah and and that that Jana was

something that automatically came to him

as a child there was no one to teach him

because he has been practicing all the

power of with us all this time and so he

automatically entered that so he got

into that III I call it just letting go

that is what he did it's not really a

Nibbana Swati

it was just letting go giving up

everything letting go means relaxing

he's the main thing that he did was

relaxing nothing else just relaxed and

so when he relaxed he entered the first

jhana automatically because he was free

from the hindrances when he's free from

the hindrances and then of course from

the first jhana he went to the 3rd 2nd

3rd and 4th jhana and then he went even

to the others as an entitlement winner

and children he rental Sonia vada eaten

erode so when he went to Sonia vada Nero

the that King Cole mind was absent at

that point so he had only the physical

body which is alive and there was a

temperature in the body and that is all

that is the difference between a dead

body and a person who has entered that

state so there was no mind as such and

then when he came out of that what came

was Vadodara and Sonia and Maidana and

Sonia

is the cheeto Sankar there are three son

Cara's - Clara what is Shankar and

chitosan car so vision our son neither

Sankara then from Quito sankhara he came

back again one by one and came to the

third jhana when he had the third John

and the breathing spots that is the cars

on rod and then when he came to the

first jhana the vitarka vichara and we

did the verbal Sankar what he sang hard

and then with that he began to

understand how the particle sama father

he understood through that and that is

how he ultimately became the Buddha so

this is very interesting to understand

oh you know another one it's called

origination yeah before my awakening

while I was still a bodhisattva not

fully awakened it occurred to me alas

the world has fallen into trouble this

sister shows how the Buddha before he

became the Buddha figured out the links

of the

than origination yeah I wouldn't figure

go all how they were it's called

origination it's and then me Dinah suta

number look at do you have a copy of it

will give you the page number

that's the difference between

intellectual knowledge and knowing and

see the direct experience that's the

realization you can have all of this

knowledge and know it intellectually but

that doesn't mean you're going to attain

anybody mom but when you realize it you

see it it's very deep that is the way it

works so it's your understanding knowing

NZ

so I guess you're holding the hippy book

again so why don't we share the merit

and call us okay

any suffering one must be suffering free

the fierce trot fearless beat me the

grieving shed all breathe and all be

inspired

may all being shared this merit that

we've just acquired for the acquisition

of all kinds of happiness may beings

inhabiting space that birth because and

noggins of mighty power protect the

you
