[Music]
that's if I heard on one occasion the
blessed one was living in Swati and
jeta's grove in at than Vindhyas park
there the blessed one addressed amongst
us monks venerable sir they replied the
Blessed One said this I shall teach you
a summary and an exposition listen and
it then close the door for what I shall
say yes venerable serve among
free-flight the Blessed One said this a
person should examine things in such a
way that while he is examining them his
consciousness is not distracted and
scattered externally nor stuck
internally and by not craving and
clinging he does not become agitated if
his consciousness is not distracted
instead and scattered externally nor
stuck in firmly and if by not clinging
he does not become agitated then for him
there is no origination of suffering of
birth aging and death in the future that
is what the Blessed One said having said
this the sublime one rose from the seat
and went into his dwelling
now every time the Buddha gave a short
exposition like this if the monks don't
ask him questions then he gets up and
leaves
this is why asking questions is real
important then soon after the Blessed
One had gone the monks considered now
friends the Blessed One has risen from
his seat and gone into his dwelling
after giving a summary and brief without
expounding the detailed meaning
now who will expound this in detail then
they considered the venerable maha
channa
is praised by the teacher and esteem by
esteem by his wise companions in the
holy life is capable of expounding the
detailed meaning
suppose we went to him and asked him the
meaning of this
then the monks went to the venerable
markets on an exchange readings with him
when this courteous nameable talked was
finished they sat down at one side and
they told him what had taken place
adding that the venerable maha china
expounded to us
the venerable maha china reply friends
and is though a man needing heartwood
seeking heartwood wandering in search of
heartwood thought that heartwood should
be sought for among the branches and
leaves of a great tree standing
possessed of heartwood after he passed
over the root and the trunk so it is
with you venerable sirs that you think I
should be asked about the meaning of
this after you passed the Blessed one by
when you were face to face with the
teacher for knowing the Blessed one
knows seeing he sees his vision his
knowledge he is the Dhamma he is the
Holy One
he is the Sailor the proclaimer the
illusive dator of meaning the giver of
the deathless the Lord of the Dhamma the
to target ah that was the time when you
should have asked the Blessed One the
meaning as he told you so you should
have
then listen friends and attend closely
to what I shall say yes friend the
month's replied the venerable maha
katrana said this how friends his
consciousness called distracted and
scattered externally this is talking
about restlessness this is talking about
distractions that pull you away from
your object to meditation here when a
monk has seen a form with the eye if his
consciousness follows after that form it
is tied and shackled by gratification in
the sign of the form its fettered by the
federal gratification in the sign of the
form then his consciousness is called
distracted and scattered externally if
you keep your attention on whatever that
distraction is that causes you to have
more and more restlessness so you don't
keep your attention that's what the six
ARS are all about you recognize that you
have a distracted mind you release the
distraction by not keeping your
attention on it let it be there by
itself
you relax the tightness cause in your
head
by that distraction you bring up
something wholesome smile you return to
your object to meditation with the light
smiling mind and stay with your object
of meditation as long as you can without
holding on tightly like you were doing
when he has heard a sound with the ear
if his consciousness follows after the
sign of that sound it is tied and
shackled by gratification and in this
sign of that sound its fettered by the
federal gratification in the sign of the
sound when his god then his
consciousness is called distracted and
scattered externally when he has smelled
an odor with the nose if his
consciousness follows after that sign of
odor it is tied and shackled by
gratification in the sign it is fettered
by the federal gratification in the
signed of the odor then his
consciousness is called distracted and
scattered extra
only when he has tasted a flavor with
the tongue if his consciousness follows
after the sign of that taste it is tied
and shackled by gratification in the
sign of that taste its fettered by the
Federative gratification in the sign of
that taste then his consciousness is
called distracted and scattered
externally when he has been touched by a
tangible with the body if his
consciousness follows after the sign of
that tangible it is tied and shackled by
gratification in the sign of that
tangible it's fettered by the federal
gratification in the sign of the
tangible then his consciousness is
called distracted and scattered
externally so we're talking about with
any of the sender's if you like it
you're gonna stay with it when you stay
with it your mind starts thinking when
your mind starts thinking then other
thoughts come
now the definition of mindfulness is
remembering to observe how Minds
attention moves from one thing to
another you don't follow what mind wants
to do you have to use the six R's your
your job is only to observe and the more
closely you observe how these
distractions arise the easier it is to
let them go relax into them bring up
something wholesome and stay with the
holes
when he has cognized him a mind object
with mind if his consciousness follows
after the sign of the mod mind object
and is tied in shackled by gratification
in the sign of the mind object as soon
as you notice that your mind is not on
your object of meditation you need to 6r
don't keep your attention on that
distraction
oh but pain arose in my body so you keep
your attention on the pain what's going
to happen that pain is going to continue
let it be there by itself don't get
involved in liking and disliking oh but
I have a pain in my neck what is that
it's a painful feeling right what
happens right after a feeling arises I
don't like it I'm taking it personally
and I'm gonna get involved with it and
the more you get involved with it the
bigger and more intense that feeling
becomes you're causing yourself a lot of
suffering because you're taking that
pain personally it hurts that's the
definition of a painful feeling did you
know that the painful feeling when it
arises is mental it's not physical but
you want to get involved with it and say
oh I have a pain in my back I have a
pain in my knee I have a pain in my neck
the truth is that's only a hindrance
that will fade away by itself unless you
take it personally and you become over
concerned and you start thinking about
that and not staying on your object
meditation
so it's real important to understand
these mind objects when they come up you
have to recommend recognize them as mind
objects you have to see that for
yourself
but it hurts okay so is that your pain
did you ask that pain to come up
no did you sit there and say well I
haven't had a pain in my back for a long
time I might as well I have a pain now
no it comes up because conditions are
right for it to arise why do these kind
of meditation pains arise why because in
the past you broke a precept and you
took it personally now it manifests as
painful feeling in mind that you say is
in the body allow it to be there what
happens when a painful feeling arises
your mind goes and gets tight and the
more you think about it the tighter you
squeeze on that pain and take it
personally and you turn a regular pain
into an emergency oh I have to break my
setting because that pain is so bad it's
just a mental pain what does the Buddha
teach you to do allow that pain to be
there by itself it's not yours
if you don't relax and allow it to be
bring up the wholesome with a smile and
stay with your object and meditation if
you don't do that
you're going to turn it into a bigger
and more intense thing that just going
to take your mind and it's going to be
very scattered by your over concern
so your mind is gonna be it's gonna be
shattered as shackled with the sign of
the mind object it's going to be
fettered what is a fetter it's
identifying with it it's taking it
personally I don't like this it hurts I
want it to stop I want it to go away
whose pain is it well it's mine what are
you doing with your mind are you you
letting it be and not keeping your
attention on it
no you're feeding that with your
attention you're feeding that sensation
with your attention
and then you start taking it personally
and then it turns into a lot of mental
proliferation and mental emotional
reaction but when it arises if you see
it you allow it to be relaxed you smile
make your mind light come back to your
object of meditation it pulls your mind
away again so what the nature of some
kinds of hindrances is they last for a
long time but as you keep fighting it
and trying to control it you are making
it worse than it actually is
now you've heard the stories of I went
to a dentist that broke my tooth and I
had to have a root canal and I let him
drill on me without any painkiller why
well I was in Burma and they're not
known for their high dream in Burma that
was something like this they don't claim
there to you they're their tools from
one patient to the next
so I'm not interested in getting all
kinds of problems with my infection and
that sort of thing and this this is when
the AIDS was still pretty rapid in Burma
no you're not gonna stick me with a
needle sorry and I made him I made made
the dentist boil everything for at least
ten minutes so that it I didn't have so
many problems now if you know what a
root canal is it's a painful thing
they're exposing the nerve and they'll
hit that nerve and that causes a lot of
pain too all right
but because I was focusing on
loving-kindness
it was bearable I was staying on my
object to meditation I wasn't fighting
with the pain
I wasn't over concerned with the pain I
had allowed the pain to be without
wishing that it would stop wishing that
it would go away I didn't take it
personally
there was pain sometimes he would hit
something about my goal and my body got
really tight but then I relaxed I let it
be relaxed smile wish loving-kindness to
even the person that was causing me the
pain or wish loving-kindness to the pain
itself the more you feed whatever arises
in the present moment the more it's
going to come up and the bigger and more
intense that's going to be what you
think and ponder on didn't that sound
like something I said a little while ago
that's the inclination of your mind what
do you think a ponder on when you have a
pain how much you don't like it how much
you want it to stop how much you want it
to go away so that's going to keep
happening over and over and over again
until you start allowing it to be when
you do this with your mind
and you get into the papon show the
taking it personally
the thinking about it into the concepts
of it you're not seeing you're not
seeing the truth the truth is when a
pain arises it's there you try to fight
with it you try to change it you try to
make it be the way you want to be you're
fighting with the truth you have to
allow it to be there don't resist or
push
soften your mind and smile
and how friends is consciousness called
not distracted and scattered externally
here when a person has seen a form with
the eye if his consciousness does not
follow after the sign of form is not
tied to it and shackled by gratification
of the sign of the form is not fettered
by the federal gratification of sign of
the form when his consciousness is
called then his consciousness is called
not distracted and scattered externally
when he's heard a sound with the year
when he spelt in order with the nose
when he tasted a flavour with the tongue
when he touched it tangible with the
body when he cognates a mind object with
mind if his consciousness does not
follow one of these sense doors it is
not tied and shackled by the
gratification of this sign it's not
fettered by the fedorov gratification in
the sight of one of the sense doors then
his consciousness called consciousness
is called not distracted and scattered
at eternally and how friends is mind
called stuck internally here quite
secluded from sensual pleasures secluded
from unwholesome states a person enters
Obon and abides in the first jhana which
is accompanied by thinking and examining
thought with joy and happiness born of
seclusion if his consciousness follows
after the joy and the happiness born of
seclusion is tied and shackled by the
gratification of that joy and happiness
born of seclusion then his mind is
called stuck internally
again with the stilling of thinking and
examining thought a person enters upon
then abides in the second jhana which
has self-confidence and stillness of
mind without thinking and examining
thought with joy and happiness born of
collectiveness if his consciousness
follows after that joy and happiness
born of collectiveness then his mind is
called stuck internally you get attached
to it you don't allow your mind a little
deeper just because you're fascinated by
the joy or happiness or whatever it
happens to me you have to lighten your
mind allow your mind to go deeper on its
own okay again with the fading away of
joy a monk abides in equanimity mindful
and fully aware still feeling pleasure
with about happiness with the body he
enters upon and abides in the third John
on account of which noble ones announce
he has a pleasant by abiding who has
equanimity and is mindful if his
consciousness follows after that a
Quentin a Dean holds on tightly then his
mind is called stuck internally again
with the abandoning of pleasure and pain
with the previous disappearance of joy
and grief a monk enters upon and abides
in the fourth jhana which has neither
pleasure nor pain and purity of
mindfulness Duty equanimity if his
consciousness follows after the neither
pleasure nor pain is tied and shackled
by liking that state and holding on to
it its fettered by the federal
gratification then his mind is called
stuck internally that is how the mine is
called stuck internally that means being
attached taking and personally and
liking it I want it to last longer when
you stop your progress when you do that
and how friends is a mine called not
stuck internally here quite secluded
from sensual pleasures of cluded from
unwholesome states a monk enters upon
and abides in the first jhana if his
consciousness does not follow after the
joy and happiness born of seclusion is
not tied and shackled by the
gratification of the joy and happiness
born of seclusion is not fettered by the
federal gratification in the joy and
happiness born of seclusion then his
mind is called not stuck internally when
you get stuck internally you start
complaining to me about tightness in
your head and what do I tell you
you're trying too hard stop holding on
just allow your mind to be as is going
to be your job is to observe not to
control again with the stilling of
thinking and examining thought a monk
enters upon and abides in the second
jhana if his consciousness does not
follow after the joy and happiness born
of collectiveness then his mind is
called not stuck internally again with
the fading away of joy a monk enters
upon and abides in the third jhana if
his consciousness does not follow after
that equanimity and hold on to it as if
it was a possession then his mind is
called not stuck internally again was
the abandoning of pleasure and pain a
monk enters upon and abides in the
fourth jhana if his consciousness is not
tied and shackled by gratification is
not fettered by the federal
gratification then his mind is called
not stuck internally
how friends is their education due to
singing here a nun torrid an untaught
ordinary person who is regarded for
noble ones and as unskilled and
undisciplined in their dhamma who has no
regard for true men men as unskilled and
undisciplined in their dhamma
regards material form as self or self as
possessed of material form or material
form is in self or self as in material
form that material form of his changes
and becomes otherwise with the change in
becoming otherwise of that material form
his consciousness is preoccupied with
the change of the material form agitated
mental states born of preoccupation with
the change of material form arise
together and remain obsessing his mind
because his mind is obsessed he is
anxious distressed and concerned and due
to craving and clinging he becomes
agitated
is that speaking to you how do you let
go of the agitation by not feeding it by
allowing it to be there the six artists
are not designed to make things stop
except for craving it's not gonna make a
pain stop it's not going to make
education stop but as you let go of your
crazy let go of that tightness in your
head and stop trying to control it don't
become obsessed with something that
might happen in the future then you're
going to let go of your anxiousness and
you're not going to be distressed and
over-concerned due to craving and
clinging every time you let go of that
craving your mind becomes pure clear
he regards feeling as self or self as
possessed of feeling or feeling as in
self herself as in feeling he regards
perception as self he regards formations
as self he regards consciousness as self
herself is possessed of consciousness
where consciousness is in self her self
is in consciousness that consciousness
of his now that means any one of the
five aggregates is material form feeling
perception formations and consciousness
any one of these five when it changes
and becomes different with the change
and becoming otherwise of that
consciousness is his aggregate is
preoccupied with the change and when you
become preoccupied with anything in
other words you're watching this and
you're not staying on your object of
meditation your mind is going to get
agitated agitated states of mind born of
preoccupation with the change of one of
these aggregates arise together and
remain obsessing his mind oh I have a
pain in my body
who's obsessed who wants it to be
different who wants to change it who
wants to break their settings because
it's too uncomfortable who's attached
because his mind is obsessed he gets
anxious and frustrated distressed /
concerned instead of doing that why
don't you let that be and come back to
your object of meditation that will fade
away on its own but the more you feed
the distraction the more agitated you
become the more frustrated you become
the more obsessed your mind becomes with
it and you're not staying on your object
of meditation that's your home base stay
home
and due to craving and clinging he
becomes agitated that is how there's
agitation due to craving and clinging
and how friends is there non agitated
non agitation due to not non craving and
non clinging here a well-thought noble
disciple who has regard for the noble
ones as skilled and discipline in their
Dhamma
who has regard for true men as skilled
and disciplined in their Dhamma does not
regard material form himself you don't
take it personally or herself is
possessed of material form or material
form is in self or self as in material
form that material form of his changes
and becomes different with the change
and becoming different of that material
form his consciousness is not
preoccupied with that change agitated
states born of preoccupation with the
change of material form do not arise
together and remain obsessing his mind
because as mine is not obsessed he's not
anxious distressed or over concerned
due to non craving and none flinging he
does not become agitated he does not
regard feeling as self or self as and
feeling or feeling as in self we're
selfish and feeling
agitated mentals he's not agitated with
with it the feeling of his changes and
becomes different with the change in
becoming different of that feeling his
consciousness is not preoccupied with
the change not agitated born of
preoccupation with the change of feeling
do not arise together and remain
obsessing his mind because his mind is
not obsessed he is not anxious
distressed and concern due to non
craving and non clinging so now this
gives you more and more an idea of how
truly important it is to use the six R's
not expecting it to make something stop
from happening but to allow it to be
there without obsessing on it the more
obsessing you you have towards whatever
feeling arises the more you suffer
and you're doing it to yourself I've had
some students come and be angry because
they say I'm doing something for to them
I'm not doing anything I'm just making
sure you're staying on the path you're
doing it to yourself but you're
obsessing and looking for external
causes for your internal problem well I
need somebody to blame for this I'm not
doing it to myself well yeah you are
look for excuses sometimes people come
in there they find excuses for
everything this is not excuse central
this is taking self responsibility for
yourself for your own pain and watch how
your mind with its old habitual
tendencies gets caught and causes you so
much more suffering so you become
anxious distressed and concerned but
when you use the six hours you let go of
the crazy you let go of the clinking the
the clean cleaning as all of your
thoughts opinions ideas concepts and
stories about why you don't want that to
be there but if
you let go of craving cleaning won't
arise and as clinging water rise your
emotional attachment will not arise if
that doesn't arrive the birth of action
won't arise if that doesn't arise sorrow
lamentation pain grief and despair won't
arise but if you take it on and you
identify with it even a little bit if
you take it personally you're gonna
cause yourself all kinds of suffering
you'll become very anxious and
distressed you'll fight with it and
you're fighting yourself you're causing
yourself that suffering because you're
not using the six R's properly release
means let it be and don't keep your
attention on it
don't become obsessed with whatever that
feeling happens to be or perception or
formation or consciousness
allow it to be there by itself don't
resist or push soften your mind smile
bring that soft smiling mind back to
your object of meditation that's your
home that's where you want your mind to
be not obsessing about how much you
don't like this and how much you're
going to fight with it that is how there
is not agitation due to nut craving and
not clinging friends when the Blessed
One rose from this seat and went into
his dwelling after giving a summary and
brief without expounding the detailed
meaning that is monks a monk should
examine things in such a way that while
he is examining them his consciousness
is not distracted and externally or
stuck in torn firmly and not vibrate by
not craving and clinging he does not
become agitated if his consciousness is
not distracted and scattered externally
nor stuck internally and if by not
craving and clinging he does not become
it
haha then for him there is no
origination of suffering of birth aging
and death in the future I understand the
detailed meaning of this summary to be
thus now friend if you wish go to the
Blessed One and ask him about the
meaning of this as a blessing one
explains it to you so you should
remember it then the monks having
delighted and rejoiced in the venerable
maha katanas words
rose from their seats and went as a
blessed one after paying homage to him
they sat down at one side and told the
Blessed One all that had taken place
after he had left adding then sir we
went to the venerable maha china and
asked him about the meaning the
venerable maha channa expounded the
meaning to us with these terms
statements and phrases maha kassapa is
wise monks maha Kijana has great wisdom
if you had asked me the meaning of this
I would have explained it to you in the
same way that maha katrana
has explained that such as its meaning
and so you should remember it that is
what the Blessed One said the monks were
satisfied and delighted in the Blessed
ones words so obsessing about things
what does that do for you outside of
cause you more pain and suffering is it
where is it I don't think so it's better
to mean that these things go right not
obsess
not find excuses so that you can quit
do you have any questions
yeah
the merciful
and
Oh
please the horsey is dangerous
I may be over 8
innocence
and take responsibility and tell him to
stop tell him that you want to get out
and walk rather than drive with him in a
in a unsafe way
well then you drive you know you just
use a word that is a forbidden word but
it's a forbidden word because that just
makes any excuse for you to continue on
what did I tell you there's no but okay
so don't obsess with it I gave you what
I thought to be a clear answer that is
for your safety
but how many times you over obsess with
a little tiny pain in your body that you
make bigger because you don't like it
and you don't want it there
hmm
right so you obsessed with it and you
caused yourself a lot more suffering
instead of staying on your object of
meditation and let that fade away by
itself you started feeding it you feed
it with your attention were you on your
object of meditation at all no you were
thinking all kinds of thoughts about how
I don't like it it must be this it must
be that that's a scattered mind it's not
a mind that is mindful it is a mind that
is unmindful
remember mindfulness is observing how
Minds attention moves from one thing to
another you weren't you were caught up
in it in continual thinking about it how
many repeat thoughts did you have isn't
that a way that causes suffering no
probably is
wholesome emotions according to avi
Domino look because there's always
attachment with emotions see feeling is
just feeling until craving arises then
it's my feeling and I don't like it or I
do like it
and then the clinging starts so you're
already in the unwholesome as soon as
you allow that craving to arise all the
rest of those links of dependent
origination are about pulse bundles
bobbing unwholesome they're all
conditioned things and that condition
leads to the unwholesome unless as soon
as you see feeling arise you relaxed
right at that moment when you relax then
the rest of the links of dependent
origination don't arise
we're talking about two separate
different things
what's your object of meditation one of
the Brahma Vieira's but that's just an
object of meditation
that's just your home base right
no no it's not emotional at all
you make it unconditional by using the
six hours so that will you have a
feeling or rise you relax right then
there is no more craving there there is
no more clinging there is no more of the
cold tetanus there is no more birth
there is no more sorrow and pain because
you're purifying your mind when you let
go of the crazy being able to recognize
that keep craving this very important
but we have a real tendency to get
caught in our desires and wants for
things to be the particular way I've
gotta figure this out I have to think
about this
that's why engineers are on number one
list of harder people to teach because
they're taught too thick and they try to
solve all problems by thinking and
thinking is a hindrance
when you have a very quiet mind that's
pure your intuition will come up and
solve problems for you without thinking
you'll see
now last night I had listened to a
Dhamma talk that I gave that I used to
retweet and I kept on trying to get you
to understand that you have to sometimes
ask yourself why does this hindrance
keep coming up over and over again what
is it that I'm attached to your
intuition will tell you and you can
change and let it go and your mind
becomes very peaceful and Paul
okay
and he has a question
yeah
yes
six huh
ignore those only when your mind gets
pulled away then you use the 6r
no your - as long as you're staying on
your object of meditation any thoughts
that come in their mind just trying to
trick you to entice you to think about
this or that just ignore that and stay
with your object of meditation stay with
your spiritual friend it will stop doing
that after a period of time but when
you're doing the six hours you don't
repeat the six hours in your mind you do
what it says to do you let it be relaxed
I'll come back
one of the reasons that there's not so
much progress in the meditation right
now is because you're letting your mind
ho-hum and think about this and think
about that when you're not sitting and
your job is to stay with your object to
meditation all the time I don't care
what you're doing and you hear me talk
about smiling smiling helps your
mindfulness to get better
the more you smile the easier it is to
recognize when you start to get caught
and you can let go of that more easily
yeah
there was a dispute
when they say the third job different
yes
the brahma vihara the equanimity at the
realm of nothingness is much much
stronger more settled more at ease it's
a strength the actual feeling itself is
the same but because you're going so
much deeper and you're staying with your
object and meditation for a much longer
period of time your mind starts to
develop disenchantment towards things
where there's not soul it's not excited
well yes well that's the problem with
using language how do you describe
equanimity and the closest I can come is
a very strong balance I'm not an
excitement and that's that's the way I'm
seeing ants around here
but that's the the anonymity is there in
every one of the different stages of
John I just get stronger and stronger as
you go deeper
at first you don't know that notice the
equanimity so much but it's there then
when you get to the third jhana and
fourth jhana you start noticing it quite
a bit more and there is very strong
balance but at when you get into the
brown of the artists is much more subtle
and your mind is quiet enough that you
can actually see more clearly how things
start to arise
sometimes
this model
you still smile yeah
and I didn't say that did I
but you have a very to my mind
not forcing mind
not a mind that's holding on to things
is very white observe it
and there's a lot of joy in that there's
a lot of happiness that arises because
of that
smile by yourself smile a little bit
well in mind you can depend what do I
tell you when fear arises what do you do
and your mind you laugh with it because
your mind is trying to trick you and
distract you you laugh with it you let
it be there by himself
we ourselves suddenly feel like
not always you can't or not it's up to
you just don't know
see one of the things that happens with
this kind of meditation is your sense of
humor starts changing you stop laughing
at things you don't laugh so out loud so
much but your mind is like that sees how
crazy mine can be and you're aware of
this craziness and it just makes you
smile laugh with it
especially when you have a dad
I had one student it been my student for
a long time and he he said it was a
really an attack by a lot of hindrances
what should I do
I told him to go outside for a walk and
laugh
and other people were outside and they
were watching and walk around laughing
every time I and race comes up that with
it it's not yours
and he did it literally
something's wrong with that guy who is
laughing all the time
and it is by no problem
when you laugh you change your
perspective when you change your
perspective you go from taking and
personally to seeing the impersonal
nature of it especially with big things
like fear it's really easy to get caught
in fear or frustration or boredom or
whatever it happens to be it's just your
mind trying to distract you that's all
stayed with your object of meditation
laugh with it if you're really serving
it caught it
okay
I told I want you to have fun
well your idea of fun and mine are not
necessarily the same
no just you can be very enjoyed it very
much and have fun doing it did you get a
chance to listen to the did you did you
notice I didn't ask him a question he
said you know everything in life is fun
or maybe a thought or bottle
but he didn't I slipped him some
chocolate yeah
[Laughter]
okay and it
years
may suffering ones be suffering free and
the fear struck fear us be maybe the
greatly fed all grief and may all beings
find relief they all been fair this
merit that we've thus acquired for the
acquisition of all kinds of happiness
may beings inhabiting the space and
earth divas and I'm as a mighty power
she was merit of the house made their
own protected Buddhist dispensations
