thus if I heard on one occasion the
blessed one was living at sawatdee and
Jettas grow venoth in bin digas park now
on that occasion the householder
anithing bendiga was afflicted suffering
and gravely gravely ill then he
addressed a certain monk thus come good
man go to the blessed one pay homage in
my name with your head at his feet and
say venerable sir the householder Nathan
pendeja is afflicted suffering and
gravely ill he pays homage with his head
at your feet then go to the venerable
sariputta pay homage to him and my name
with your head at his feet and save in
irbil sir the householder amith on
pendejas afflicted suffering and briefly
ill he pays homage with his head at the
venerable sorry bhutas feet then say it
would be good venerable sir if the
venerable sariputta would come to the
residence of the householder an attempt
indika out of come
passion why he asked sorry puta instead
of the Buddha is the question yes sir
the man replied he went to the blessed
one after paying homage to him Palma to
the blessed one he sat down at one side
and delivered his message then he went
to the venerable sariputta after paying
homage to him to the head to the
venerable sariputta he delivered the
message saying it would be good
venerable sir if the venerable sariputta
would come to the residents of the
householder an attempt indika out of
compassion the venerable sariputta
consented in silence then the venerable
sariputta dressed taking his bowl in his
outer robe went to the residence of the
householder an attempt and eco with the
venerable ananda as is attended having
gone there he sat down on a seat made
ready and said to the householder an
athan pendeja i hope you are getting
well householder i hope you are
comfortable i hope
your painful feelings are subsiding not
increasing and that they're subsiding
not their increase is apparent venerable
sariputta I am NOT getting well I am not
comfortable my painful feelings are
increasing not subsiding their increase
not their subsiding as a parent just as
if a strong man we're splitting my head
open with a sharp sword so too violent
winds cut through my head and I'm not
getting well just as a strong man were
tightening a tough leather strap around
my head as a headband so to their
violent pains in my head and I'm not
getting well just as if a skilled
butcher or his apprentice were to carve
up an ox belly with a sharp butcher's
knife so to violent winds are carving up
my belly I am NOT getting well just as
if two strong men were seizing a weaker
man by both arms and roast him over a
fire of hot coals so too there is
violent burning in my body I'm
not getting well I am not comfortable my
painful feelings are increasing not
subsiding their increased not their
subsiding as a parent by that you get
the idea he didn't feel so good then
householder one should train thus I will
not cling to the eye and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the eye thus you should train you should
train thus I will not cling to the ear
or the nose or the tongue or the body I
will not cling to mind and my
consciousness will be the will not be
dependent on mind thus you should train
householder you should train thus I will
not cling to forms i will not cling to
sounds I will not cling to odors I will
not cling two flavors actually I think
it would be more appropriate if he said
I will not crave or cling to forms i
will not crave or clean two sounds I
will not crave or claim to odors I will
not crave or cling two flavors I will
not grow crave or claim to tangibles I
will not crave or cling to mind objects
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on mind objects thus you
should train householder you should
train thus i will not crave or cling to
high consciousness I will not crave or
cling to ear consciousness I will not
crave or cling to nose consciousness I
will not crave were claimed to town
consciousness I will not crave or cling
to body consciousness I will not crave
or cling to mind consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
mind consciousness thus you should train
householder you should train thus i will
not crave or cling to eye contact I will
not crave or cling to ear contact I will
not crave or cling to nose contact I
will not Craver cling to tongue contact
I will not crave or cling to body
contact I will not crave or cling to
mind contact and my conscious witness
will not be dependent on mine contact
thus you should train sounds kind of
like six hour training doesn't it
householder you should train thus i will
not crave or cling to feeling born of
eye contact I will not crave were clean
to feeling born of ear contact I will
not crave were claim 22 feeling born of
nose contact I will not crave were
claimed to feeling born of Canton Gant
I will not crave were clean to feeling
born of body contact I will not crave or
cling to feeling born of mind contact
and my conscious witness will not be
dependent on feeling born of mine
conduct thus you should train
householder you should drain thus i will
not crave or cling to the earth element
I will not crave or cling to the water
element I will not crave were clinging
to the fire element I will not crave or
flee cling to the air element I will not
crave to the space element I will not
crave to the conscious of great i will
not grave or cling to the consciousness
element and my consciousness will not be

thus you should train householder you
should train thus i will not crave in
cling to the material form i will not
crave or cling to feeling i will not
crave or cling to perception i will not
crave were cling to formations I will
not crave or cling to consciousness and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on consciousness think about that
moment it's not dependent on it thus you
should train householder you should
trained us I will not crave or cling to
the base of infinite space I will not
crave or cling to the base of infinite
consciousness I will not crave or cling
to the base of nothingness I will not
crave were clinging to the base of
neither perception nor non perception
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the base of neither
perception or non perception thus you
should train how many times have you
heard me say your job is only to observe
not crave or clean for something to
happen not control just observe it's
there relax into it let it be that's it
that's your job it's pretty simple so
how do you forget it all the time
it's called craving and clinging is how
you forget householder you should dream
thus I will not crave and cling to this
world and my consciousness will not be
dependent on this world I will not crave
in pretend or cling to the world beyond
and my consciousness will not deep it be
dependent on the world beyond thus you
should train householder you should
train thus I will not crave were cling
to what is seen I will not crave or
cling to what is heard I will not crave
or cling to what is sensed i will not
crave or cling to what is cognos i will
not crave or cling to what is
encountered I will not crave or cling to
what is sought after
I will not crave or cling examined by
mind and my consciousness will not be
dependent on that thus you should train
when this was said the householder an
attempt indika wept and shed tears then
the venerable ananda asked him are you
found during householder are you sinking
I'm not found during venerable Ananda
I'm not sinking but although I have long
waited upon the teacher and amongst
worthy of esteem never before have I
heard such a talk on the Dhamma such a
talk on the Dhamma householder is not
given to laypeople clothed in white
which is kind of a yeah they are but
okay such a talk on nadama is given to
those who have gone forth maybe in that
way but they've always been taught that
from the very start all of this stuff
well then sorry puta let such a talk on
the Dhamma be given to laypeople clothed
in white there are Klansmen with little
dust in their eyes who are wasting away
through not hearing such a talk on the
Dhamma there will be those who will
understand that dama then after giving
the householder anathapindika this
advice the venerable sariputta and the
venerable ananda rose from their seats
and departed soon after they left the
householder in a thump indica died and
reappeared in the two-seat to heaven
then when the night was well advanced he
was a soda pop okay
Nathan Penn bika now a young god of
beautiful appearance went to the blessed
one illuminating the whole of Jettas
Grove after paying homage to the Blessed
One he stood at one side and addressed
the Blessed One it stands up old blessed
is this Jettas Grove dwelt in by this
age lasanga where in residence where it
resides the king of dhamma the fount of
all my happiness by action knowledge and
Dhamma by virtue and noble way of life
by these are mortals purified not by
lineage or wealth therefore a wise
person who sees what truly leads to his
own good should investigate the Dhamma
and purify him save himself with it
sorry puta has reached the peak in
virtue peace and wisdoms way any monk
who has gone beyond at best can only
equal him that's what the young God
anathapindika said and the teacher
approved then the young God
anathapindika thinking the teacher has
approved of me paid homage to the
Blessed One keeping him on his right he
vanished at once then the night when the
night had ended the blessed one
addressed amongst us monks last night
when the night was well advanced there
came to me as certain young
god of beautiful appearance who
illuminated the whole of Jettas grove
after paying homage to me he stood at
one side and addressed me and stands as
us I'm not going to read the whole thing
again this is what the young God said
and when the young God thinking the
teacher has approved of me he paid
homage to me and keeping him on his
right he vanished at once when this was
said the venerable ananda said to the
blessed one surely venerable sir that
young god must have been an attempt
indica for the householder anathapindika
had perfect confidence in the venerable
sariputta good good ananda as far as
reasoning goes you have drawn the right
conclusion that young God was a nathin
pendeja no one else that's what the
Blessed One said the venerable ananda
was satisfied and delighted in the
Blessed ones words so even though this
is a short suit it is jam packed with
information
and there's a lot of you should train
thus I will not crave or cling to the
eye and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the eye thus you should
train you should train thus I will not
cling to the ear and my consciousness
will not be be dependent on the ear I
will not cling to the nose and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the nose I will not crave or cling to
the tongue and my consciousness will not
be dependent on the tongue I will not
create or cling to the body big one and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on the body I will not crave were cling
to mind and my consciousness will not be
dependent on mine thus you should train
you should train thus i will not crave
or cling to forms and my consciousness
will not be dependent on forms i will
not crave or cling to sounds and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
sounds I will not craver cling to odors
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on odors I will not crave or
clean two flavors and my consciousness
will not be dependent on flavors I will
not cling to tangibles and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
tangibles I will not craver cling to
mind objects and my consciousness will
not be dependent on my unconsciousness
now think about that for a minute if you
don't crave these Craver clean these
things to these things your mind is not
going to feed them so you keep coming
back to them
remember your job is only to observe not
to analyze not to figure out how it
works or why it works this way your job
is only to observe how it works how the
process works seeing all of these things
as being impersonal it's just a sound
it's just a site doesn't matter that's
the kind of mind you need to develop
seeing it only as part of a process not
as something to crave and cling to now
craving and clinging can either be a
positive aspect or a negative aspect it
can be I like it and I want it or it can
be I don't like it and I don't want it
but it's still craving there's still the
identification with that and that causes
so much suffering seeing it as a process
it's not me i didn't ask this stuff to
come up I can't control it so where am I
in this I'm not there this is something
that you really need to deeply see
and to remember that's part of
mindfulness as Anna cream em break
remembering to observe how Minds
attention moves how'd that happen what
happened how did mine how did this I or
this form come up how did it happen what
happened first what happened after that
what happened after that householder you
should train thus i will not crave or
cling to I consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on I
consciousness I will not crave or cling
to ear consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
ear consciousness I will not crave we're
cling to nose consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the nose consciousness I will not crave
or cling to town consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
tongue consciousness if it's dependent
on ton consciousness what happens you're
keeping your attention on it you're
feeding it you're feeding a hindrance
I will not crave or cling to body
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent on body consciousness I
will not crave work Linda mind
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent on mind consciousness
thus you should train you should train
thus i will not crave and cling to eye
contact now this is very very similar to
the cha cha cha suta ya see how
important that you Chaka suta is because
it is used in a lot of different suit
that I have thus i will not crave or
cling to eye contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
eye contact I will not crave or cling to
your contact and my consciousness will
not be depended on ear contact I will
not crave or cling to those contact and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on nose contact I will not crave or
cling to tongue contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
tongue
contact I will not crave for cling to
body contact and my consciousness will
not be dependent on body contact I will
not crave or cling to mine contact and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on mine contact thus you should train
are going through this the long way so
that it can sink in very important stuff
you should train thus i will not crave
and cling to feeling born of eye contact
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on I feeling born of eye
contact I will not crave or claim to
feeling born of ear contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
feeling born of ear contact I will not
crave or cling to feeling born of nose
contact and my consciousness will not be
dependent on feeling born of nose
contact I will not crave or cling to
feeling born of tongue contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
feeling born of tongue contact I will
not crave or cling to feeling born of
body contact and my consciousness will
not be dependent on feeling born of
contact I will not crazy ver cling to
feeling born of mind conduct and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
feeling born of mine contact it's
interesting how all of these things if
you crave and bling then you're
dependent on whatever cent store it is
but when you see it as the impersonal
process that it actually is that means
relaxing and no more clinging is there
you're purifying your mind and you're
seeing the impersonal nature of
everything you should train thus I will
not grave or cling to the earth element
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the earth element I will
not cling to the water element and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the water element I will not cling to
the fire element and my consciousness
will not be dependent on the fire
element I will not crave or cling to the
air element and my consciousness will
not be dependent on the air element I
will not crave were cling to the space
element and my consciousness will not be
dependent on this base element I will
not grieve or cling to the consciousness
element and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the con
sciousness element interesting
householder you should train thus i will
not crave and cling to material form and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on material form i will not crave or
cling to feeling and my consciousness
will not be dependent on feeling i will
not grieve were clean to perception and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on perception i will not crave or clean
two formations and my consciousness will
not be dependent on formations I will
not creative we're cling to
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent upon consciousness thus
you should dream
you should train thus i will not crave
or cling to the base of infinite space
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the base of infinite space
I will not crave or cling to the base of
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent on the base of infinite
consciousness I will not crave or cling
to the base of nothingness with
equanimity and my consciousness will not
be dependent on the base of nothingness
I will not crave or cling to the base of
neither perception or non perception it
is kind of easy to get attached to that
state because it can be so peaceful and
calm and there can be a very subtle
liking to it and my consciousness will
not be dependent on a base of neither
perception or non perception thus you
should train you should train thus i
will not crave or cling to this world
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on this world I will not crave
or cling to the world beyond and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the world beyond thus you should drink
householder you should train thus i will
not crave or cling to what is seen I
will not grave or cling to what is hurt
I will not crave or cling to what is
sensed i will not crave or cling to what
is cognized i will not crave were
clinging to the encountered I will not
crave were clinging to the sought after
and I will not crave or cling to the
examination by mind and my consciousness
will not be dependent on that see how
free-floating the whole idea of
consciousness is it's only to observe
that's the whole point and it's
impersonal all of this other stuff is
gobbly [ __ ] that we have in our minds is
distraction and hindrance I do not want
you to grieve we're clean to anything
so
this is a big lesson it's not just a
small one I think we should probably
have this printed out and put somewhere
so people can see that
143 engage forgot okay
da Medina
Oh
so short suta
okay precious way
begin
too bad
well it answers it in the back because
he had complete confidence in sorry futa
not that he didn't have complete
confidence in the Buddha but I suspect
he didn't want to trouble the Buddha
there is much together as the four
foundations of mindfulness you have to
have a body there is feeling there is
perception these two are conjoined and
then you have formations which is mind
objects and then you have consciousness
which is conjoined with feeling
perception and consciousness so when
you're talking about the five aggregates
you're actually just talking about three
of them because these others are
conjoined they have to be together
what you feel that you perceive what you
perceive that you've got nice right
that's what it says in the suit to
number 43
which is a hundred suitors back from
this one to listening from a lot of
indica web.pdf he was always so busy
taking care of affairs he didn't listen
intently and he'd probably heard that a
hundred times but he didn't recognize it
as such because his mind was distracted
quite often because he had a lot of
business he was taking care of thousands
of monks and he had to arrange and make
sure everything got done so he might
come in for a dama talk but he's
thinking about something else he didn't
give good here that's why he said he'd
never heard that before but he might not
have heard it exactly in this way but
because he had so many affairs he was
taking care of he didn't hear the other
ways so so deeply
he was being attention well he was happy
to be able to hear it that happens
sometimes people will come and this
happened in Asia not a lot but sometimes
they would listen to a dama talk that I
gave and they would start weeping at the
end of the dhamma talk then they would
come up and they said I had so much pain
that I almost fainted when I came in and
now it's all gone away and there there
is the the joy like Ruth Denison when
she heard about the kind of questions I
was asking people that came that had the
experience of Nibhana but didn't know
what it was and they went to other
teachers and they didn't know what it
was and then i would start reading in
the suit does and then i would ask them
questions about keeping their precepts
and that sort of thing and she had that
experience in the early 1960s and didn't
find out actually what it was until two
thousand probably
it was one of the last times I went to
Joshua Tree and she SAT there and just
started weeping because nobody gave her
any answers that was and afterwards now
this is a lady that's been teaching dama
since the 60s and she came up and bout
it was very touching
and a lot of joy came up in me because I
was able to help that's the beauty of
the relaxed step because when you first
start your mind is flip flopping all
over the place as you get to the 4th
jhana that's why the Buddha praised the
4th jhana because now you're starting to
see the vibrations in the subtleness of
mine and have equanimity to it and as
you get deeper and deeper that vibration
becomes less and less it becomes very
much more subtle and as you keep
relaxing more in relaxing more then it's
hard to tell whether there's any
vibration or feeling or consciousness at
all it's hard to tell
but
even as you see this start to come up
and you six are right then you're
cutting down on that vibration even more
and more until finally there is no
movement or vibration and that's a
cessation of perception feeling and
consciousness you don't know you're in
it till you get out when you get out
it's a big whoopee it's an amazing
experience and I've had some people say
is that all it is holy cow
I wanted that some fireworks I wanted
all kinds of lights going off and stuff
well you just gave up an ocean of
suffering I mean that seems pretty good
to me the Dan effect indica practice
meditation
if he did it was very little he did you
know the story of an attempt Endicott he
heard the word the Buddha and he got so
excited that he at night he ran through
a graveyard and he had a lot of
resistance to going but as soon as he
saw the Buddha he became a soda pop that
means in this past lifetime he had done
a lot of other kinds of work and evil
it's like he was just waiting around to
be able to hear the word Buddha Oh
Buddha has appeared oh really wow I
gotta go see this and he had such strong
faith in the Buddha himself that he went
through a very scary area and it was
very hard for him to get through that
area but he wouldn't stop and he just
kept going in to leave
before passing away he he was well he
did hear a lot of Dhamma talks he just
didn't hear them as deeply as he could
have to understand is really thinking
we understood that before passing away
this is not easy even for
Yeah right why did I save it till now
but that Anna thenb indika he had a
daughter that she listened very
attentively to the Buddha became a sock
pagani and she died before he did and on
her deathbed he kept calling her younger
brother and that was the her father she
was calling younger brother and that
bothered Emma 'then can beat that so he
went to the Buddha after she died and
said why did she keep calling me younger
brother and the Buddha said because she
was a socket again and you're only a
soda pop
r Kearney like
oh yeah on the anniversary of their
death go to a monastery offer food tell
them that that's what you're doing they
will you go through a little ceremony
the Burmese are and and the tire big on
pouring water while they're chanting the
Burmese they poured on their finger well
they're chanting and then you not share
the Merrick with that being you give the
merit to that be and if they're in a
realm where they can hear you it really
makes him happy and whatever you donated
that manifest to them like there was a
Burmese man and he did this and his
father had been a reporter so he came
with pencils and papers and he also
offered robes and food but that was the
special thing that that he really liked
so he offered it to the Sangha and we
got a bunch of pencils and paper after
that it's all
that was pretty good but every year on
the anniversary of their death that it
is a good thing to do that if you're
around a monastery that has monks that
understand what you're doing not all
monasteries are going to be like that
well
and say on their birthday you can offer
food and remember the kindly things that
they did the things that you had fun
with them doing the things you
appreciated them and you had a lot of
gratitude for the things that they did
well you get somebody to give a damn a
talk when you when you do that on their
anniversary but remember children will
mimic you
so if they see you being kind and gentle
even in a difficult situation that's
what they'll tend towards not get highly
emotional and one revenge and get even
with that no-good so-and-so if they see
you being compassionate and not excited
they will start to act that way okay why
don't we share Samaritan may suffering
ones be suffering free and the fierce
trap fearless be may the grieving [ __ ]
all grief and may all beings find relief
may all being sure this merit that we've
thus acquired for the acquisition of all
kinds of happiness may beings inhabiting
space and earth divas and nagas a mighty
power share this merit of ours may they
long protect the Buddhist dispensation
deceptive
you
you
thus if I heard on one occasion the
blessed one was living at sawatdee and
Jettas grow venoth in bin digas park now
on that occasion the householder
anithing bendiga was afflicted suffering
and gravely gravely ill then he
addressed a certain monk thus come good
man go to the blessed one pay homage in
my name with your head at his feet and
say venerable sir the householder Nathan
pendeja is afflicted suffering and
gravely ill he pays homage with his head
at your feet then go to the venerable
sariputta pay homage to him and my name
with your head at his feet and save in
irbil sir the householder amith on
pendejas afflicted suffering and briefly
ill he pays homage with his head at the
venerable sorry bhutas feet then say it
would be good venerable sir if the
venerable sariputta would come to the
residence of the householder an attempt
indika out of come
passion why he asked sorry puta instead
of the Buddha is the question yes sir
the man replied he went to the blessed
one after paying homage to him Palma to
the blessed one he sat down at one side
and delivered his message then he went
to the venerable sariputta after paying
homage to him to the head to the
venerable sariputta he delivered the
message saying it would be good
venerable sir if the venerable sariputta
would come to the residents of the
householder an attempt indika out of
compassion the venerable sariputta
consented in silence then the venerable
sariputta dressed taking his bowl in his
outer robe went to the residence of the
householder an attempt and eco with the
venerable ananda as is attended having
gone there he sat down on a seat made
ready and said to the householder an
athan pendeja i hope you are getting
well householder i hope you are
comfortable i hope
your painful feelings are subsiding not
increasing and that they're subsiding
not their increase is apparent venerable
sariputta I am NOT getting well I am not
comfortable my painful feelings are
increasing not subsiding their increase
not their subsiding as a parent just as
if a strong man we're splitting my head
open with a sharp sword so too violent
winds cut through my head and I'm not
getting well just as a strong man were
tightening a tough leather strap around
my head as a headband so to their
violent pains in my head and I'm not
getting well just as if a skilled
butcher or his apprentice were to carve
up an ox belly with a sharp butcher's
knife so to violent winds are carving up
my belly I am NOT getting well just as
if two strong men were seizing a weaker
man by both arms and roast him over a
fire of hot coals so too there is
violent burning in my body I'm
not getting well I am not comfortable my
painful feelings are increasing not
subsiding their increased not their
subsiding as a parent by that you get
the idea he didn't feel so good then

should train how many times have you
heard me say your job is only to observe
not crave or clean for something to
happen not control just observe it's
there relax into it let it be that's it
that's your job it's pretty simple so
how do you forget it all the time
it's called craving and clinging is how
you forget householder you should dream

and my consciousness will not deep it be
dependent on the world beyond thus you
should train householder you should

when this was said the householder an
attempt indika wept and shed tears then
the venerable ananda asked him are you
found during householder are you sinking
I'm not found during venerable Ananda
I'm not sinking but although I have long
waited upon the teacher and amongst
worthy of esteem never before have I
heard such a talk on the Dhamma such a
talk on the Dhamma householder is not
given to laypeople clothed in white
which is kind of a yeah they are but
okay such a talk on nadama is given to
those who have gone forth maybe in that
way but they've always been taught that
from the very start all of this stuff
well then sorry puta let such a talk on
the Dhamma be given to laypeople clothed
in white there are Klansmen with little
dust in their eyes who are wasting away
through not hearing such a talk on the
Dhamma there will be those who will
understand that dama then after giving
the householder anathapindika this
advice the venerable sariputta and the
venerable ananda rose from their seats
and departed soon after they left the
householder in a thump indica died and
reappeared in the two-seat to heaven
then when the night was well advanced he
was a soda pop okay
Nathan Penn bika now a young god of
beautiful appearance went to the blessed
one illuminating the whole of Jettas
Grove after paying homage to the Blessed
One he stood at one side and addressed
the Blessed One it stands up old blessed
is this Jettas Grove dwelt in by this
age lasanga where in residence where it
resides the king of dhamma the fount of
all my happiness by action knowledge and
Dhamma by virtue and noble way of life
by these are mortals purified not by
lineage or wealth therefore a wise
person who sees what truly leads to his
own good should investigate the Dhamma
and purify him save himself with it
sorry puta has reached the peak in
virtue peace and wisdoms way any monk
who has gone beyond at best can only
equal him that's what the young God
anathapindika said and the teacher
approved then the young God
anathapindika thinking the teacher has
approved of me paid homage to the
Blessed One keeping him on his right he
vanished at once then the night when the
night had ended the blessed one
addressed amongst us monks last night
when the night was well advanced there
came to me as certain young
god of beautiful appearance who
illuminated the whole of Jettas grove
after paying homage to me he stood at
one side and addressed me and stands as
us I'm not going to read the whole thing
again this is what the young God said
and when the young God thinking the
teacher has approved of me he paid
homage to me and keeping him on his
right he vanished at once when this was
said the venerable ananda said to the
blessed one surely venerable sir that
young god must have been an attempt
indica for the householder anathapindika
had perfect confidence in the venerable
sariputta good good ananda as far as
reasoning goes you have drawn the right
conclusion that young God was a nathin
pendeja no one else that's what the
Blessed One said the venerable ananda
was satisfied and delighted in the
Blessed ones words so even though this
is a short suit it is jam packed with
information
and there's a lot of you should train
thus I will not crave or cling to the
eye and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the eye thus you should
train you should train thus I will not
cling to the ear and my consciousness
will not be be dependent on the ear I
will not cling to the nose and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the nose I will not crave or cling to
the tongue and my consciousness will not
be dependent on the tongue I will not
create or cling to the body big one and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on the body I will not crave were cling
to mind and my consciousness will not be
dependent on mine thus you should train
you should train thus i will not crave
or cling to forms and my consciousness
will not be dependent on forms i will
not crave or cling to sounds and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
sounds I will not craver cling to odors
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on odors I will not crave or
clean two flavors and my consciousness
will not be dependent on flavors I will
not cling to tangibles and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
tangibles I will not craver cling to
mind objects and my consciousness will
not be dependent on my unconsciousness
now think about that for a minute if you
don't crave these Craver clean these
things to these things your mind is not
going to feed them so you keep coming
back to them
remember your job is only to observe not
to analyze not to figure out how it
works or why it works this way your job
is only to observe how it works how the
process works seeing all of these things
as being impersonal it's just a sound
it's just a site doesn't matter that's
the kind of mind you need to develop
seeing it only as part of a process not
as something to crave and cling to now
craving and clinging can either be a
positive aspect or a negative aspect it
can be I like it and I want it or it can
be I don't like it and I don't want it
but it's still craving there's still the
identification with that and that causes
so much suffering seeing it as a process
it's not me i didn't ask this stuff to
come up I can't control it so where am I
in this I'm not there this is something
that you really need to deeply see
and to remember that's part of
mindfulness as Anna cream em break
remembering to observe how Minds
attention moves how'd that happen what
happened how did mine how did this I or
this form come up how did it happen what
happened first what happened after that
what happened after that householder you
should train thus i will not crave or
cling to I consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on I
consciousness I will not crave or cling
to ear consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
ear consciousness I will not crave we're
cling to nose consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the nose consciousness I will not crave
or cling to town consciousness and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
tongue consciousness if it's dependent
on ton consciousness what happens you're
keeping your attention on it you're
feeding it you're feeding a hindrance
I will not crave or cling to body
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent on body consciousness I
will not crave work Linda mind
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent on mind consciousness
thus you should train you should train
thus i will not crave and cling to eye
contact now this is very very similar to
the cha cha cha suta ya see how
important that you Chaka suta is because
it is used in a lot of different suit
that I have thus i will not crave or
cling to eye contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
eye contact I will not crave or cling to
your contact and my consciousness will
not be depended on ear contact I will
not crave or cling to those contact and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on nose contact I will not crave or
cling to tongue contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
tongue
contact I will not crave for cling to
body contact and my consciousness will
not be dependent on body contact I will
not crave or cling to mine contact and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on mine contact thus you should train
are going through this the long way so
that it can sink in very important stuff
you should train thus i will not crave
and cling to feeling born of eye contact
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on I feeling born of eye
contact I will not crave or claim to
feeling born of ear contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
feeling born of ear contact I will not
crave or cling to feeling born of nose
contact and my consciousness will not be
dependent on feeling born of nose
contact I will not crave or cling to
feeling born of tongue contact and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
feeling born of tongue contact I will
not crave or cling to feeling born of
body contact and my consciousness will
not be dependent on feeling born of
contact I will not crazy ver cling to
feeling born of mind conduct and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
feeling born of mine contact it's
interesting how all of these things if
you crave and bling then you're
dependent on whatever cent store it is
but when you see it as the impersonal
process that it actually is that means
relaxing and no more clinging is there
you're purifying your mind and you're
seeing the impersonal nature of
everything you should train thus I will
not grave or cling to the earth element
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the earth element I will
not cling to the water element and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the water element I will not cling to
the fire element and my consciousness
will not be dependent on the fire
element I will not crave or cling to the
air element and my consciousness will
not be dependent on the air element I
will not crave were cling to the space
element and my consciousness will not be
dependent on this base element I will
not grieve or cling to the consciousness
element and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the con
sciousness element interesting
householder you should train thus i will
not crave and cling to material form and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on material form i will not crave or
cling to feeling and my consciousness
will not be dependent on feeling i will
not grieve were clean to perception and
my consciousness will not be dependent
on perception i will not crave or clean
two formations and my consciousness will
not be dependent on formations I will
not creative we're cling to
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent upon consciousness thus
you should dream
you should train thus i will not crave
or cling to the base of infinite space
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on the base of infinite space
I will not crave or cling to the base of
consciousness and my consciousness will
not be dependent on the base of infinite
consciousness I will not crave or cling
to the base of nothingness with
equanimity and my consciousness will not
be dependent on the base of nothingness
I will not crave or cling to the base of
neither perception or non perception it
is kind of easy to get attached to that
state because it can be so peaceful and
calm and there can be a very subtle
liking to it and my consciousness will
not be dependent on a base of neither
perception or non perception thus you
should train you should train thus i
will not crave or cling to this world
and my consciousness will not be
dependent on this world I will not crave
or cling to the world beyond and my
consciousness will not be dependent on
the world beyond thus you should drink
householder you should train thus i will
not crave or cling to what is seen I
will not grave or cling to what is hurt
I will not crave or cling to what is
sensed i will not crave or cling to what
is cognized i will not crave were
clinging to the encountered I will not
crave were clinging to the sought after
and I will not crave or cling to the
examination by mind and my consciousness
will not be dependent on that see how
free-floating the whole idea of
consciousness is it's only to observe
that's the whole point and it's
impersonal all of this other stuff is
gobbly [ __ ] that we have in our minds is
distraction and hindrance I do not want
you to grieve we're clean to anything
so
this is a big lesson it's not just a
small one I think we should probably
have this printed out and put somewhere
so people can see that
143 engage forgot okay
da Medina
Oh
so short suta
okay precious way
begin
too bad
well it answers it in the back because
he had complete confidence in sorry futa
not that he didn't have complete
confidence in the Buddha but I suspect
he didn't want to trouble the Buddha
there is much together as the four
foundations of mindfulness you have to
have a body there is feeling there is
perception these two are conjoined and
then you have formations which is mind
objects and then you have consciousness
which is conjoined with feeling
perception and consciousness so when
you're talking about the five aggregates
you're actually just talking about three
of them because these others are
conjoined they have to be together
what you feel that you perceive what you
perceive that you've got nice right
that's what it says in the suit to
number 43
which is a hundred suitors back from
this one to listening from a lot of
indica web.pdf he was always so busy
taking care of affairs he didn't listen
intently and he'd probably heard that a
hundred times but he didn't recognize it
as such because his mind was distracted
quite often because he had a lot of
business he was taking care of thousands
of monks and he had to arrange and make
sure everything got done so he might
come in for a dama talk but he's
thinking about something else he didn't
give good here that's why he said he'd
never heard that before but he might not
have heard it exactly in this way but
because he had so many affairs he was
taking care of he didn't hear the other
ways so so deeply
he was being attention well he was happy
to be able to hear it that happens
sometimes people will come and this
happened in Asia not a lot but sometimes
they would listen to a dama talk that I
gave and they would start weeping at the
end of the dhamma talk then they would
come up and they said I had so much pain
that I almost fainted when I came in and
now it's all gone away and there there
is the the joy like Ruth Denison when
she heard about the kind of questions I
was asking people that came that had the
experience of Nibhana but didn't know
what it was and they went to other
teachers and they didn't know what it
was and then i would start reading in
the suit does and then i would ask them
questions about keeping their precepts
and that sort of thing and she had that
experience in the early 1960s and didn't
find out actually what it was until two
thousand probably
it was one of the last times I went to
Joshua Tree and she SAT there and just
started weeping because nobody gave her
any answers that was and afterwards now
this is a lady that's been teaching dama
since the 60s and she came up and bout
it was very touching
and a lot of joy came up in me because I
was able to help that's the beauty of
the relaxed step because when you first
start your mind is flip flopping all
over the place as you get to the 4th
jhana that's why the Buddha praised the
4th jhana because now you're starting to
see the vibrations in the subtleness of
mine and have equanimity to it and as
you get deeper and deeper that vibration
becomes less and less it becomes very
much more subtle and as you keep
relaxing more in relaxing more then it's
hard to tell whether there's any
vibration or feeling or consciousness at
all it's hard to tell
but
even as you see this start to come up
and you six are right then you're
cutting down on that vibration even more
and more until finally there is no
movement or vibration and that's a
cessation of perception feeling and
consciousness you don't know you're in
it till you get out when you get out
it's a big whoopee it's an amazing
experience and I've had some people say
is that all it is holy cow
I wanted that some fireworks I wanted
all kinds of lights going off and stuff
well you just gave up an ocean of
suffering I mean that seems pretty good
to me the Dan effect indica practice
meditation
if he did it was very little he did you
know the story of an attempt Endicott he
heard the word the Buddha and he got so
excited that he at night he ran through
a graveyard and he had a lot of
resistance to going but as soon as he
saw the Buddha he became a soda pop that
means in this past lifetime he had done
a lot of other kinds of work and evil
it's like he was just waiting around to
be able to hear the word Buddha Oh
Buddha has appeared oh really wow I
gotta go see this and he had such strong
faith in the Buddha himself that he went
through a very scary area and it was
very hard for him to get through that
area but he wouldn't stop and he just
kept going in to leave
before passing away he he was well he
did hear a lot of Dhamma talks he just
didn't hear them as deeply as he could
have to understand is really thinking
we understood that before passing away
this is not easy even for
Yeah right why did I save it till now
but that Anna thenb indika he had a
daughter that she listened very
attentively to the Buddha became a sock
pagani and she died before he did and on
her deathbed he kept calling her younger
brother and that was the her father she
was calling younger brother and that
bothered Emma 'then can beat that so he
went to the Buddha after she died and
said why did she keep calling me younger
brother and the Buddha said because she
was a socket again and you're only a
soda pop
r Kearney like
oh yeah on the anniversary of their
death go to a monastery offer food tell
them that that's what you're doing they
will you go through a little ceremony
the Burmese are and and the tire big on
pouring water while they're chanting the
Burmese they poured on their finger well
they're chanting and then you not share
the Merrick with that being you give the
merit to that be and if they're in a
realm where they can hear you it really
makes him happy and whatever you donated
that manifest to them like there was a
Burmese man and he did this and his
father had been a reporter so he came
with pencils and papers and he also
offered robes and food but that was the
special thing that that he really liked
so he offered it to the Sangha and we
got a bunch of pencils and paper after
that it's all
that was pretty good but every year on
the anniversary of their death that it
is a good thing to do that if you're
around a monastery that has monks that
understand what you're doing not all
monasteries are going to be like that
well
and say on their birthday you can offer
food and remember the kindly things that
they did the things that you had fun
with them doing the things you
appreciated them and you had a lot of
gratitude for the things that they did
well you get somebody to give a damn a
talk when you when you do that on their
anniversary but remember children will
mimic you
so if they see you being kind and gentle
even in a difficult situation that's
what they'll tend towards not get highly
emotional and one revenge and get even
with that no-good so-and-so if they see
you being compassionate and not excited
they will start to act that way okay why
don't we share Samaritan may suffering
ones be suffering free and the fierce
trap fearless be may the grieving [ __ ]
all grief and may all beings find relief
may all being sure this merit that we've
thus acquired for the acquisition of all
kinds of happiness may beings inhabiting
space and earth divas and nagas a mighty
power share this merit of ours may they
long protect the Buddhist dispensation
