Oh
good evening welcome to darkness in the
meditation center this evening by
tubular ends even beginning the dhamma
talk on human account number 106 and
then just the pious souped up the way to
the imperturbable it is februari you
third 2011 hungover there's against the
severe heard on one occasion the blessed
one was living in the kuru country where
there's a town of the Carew's named
Casas Adama there the blessed one
addressed the monks thus monks venerable
sir they replied the blessed one said
this monks sensual pleasures are
impermanent hollow false deceptive they
are illusory the prattle of fools
sensual pleasures here and now and
sensual pleasures and lives to come
sensual perceptions here and now and
central perceptions and lives to come
both alike are Mara's realm Mara's
domine Mara's beat Mara's hunting ground
on account of them these evil and
wholesome states such as covetousness
ill-will and presumption arise they
constitute an obstruction to the noble
disciple in training here here monks a
noble disciple considers thus sensual
pleasures here in now sensual pleasure
and lives to come sensual perceptions
here and now and central perceptions
lives to come both alike are Mara's
realm Mara's domain Mara's bait Mara's
hunting ground on account to these evil
unwholesome states such as covetousness
ill-will and presumption arise and they
constitute an obstruction to a noble
disciple in training here suppose I were
to abide with a mine abundant exalted
having transcended the world and made a
firm determination with mind when I do
so there will be no more evil
unwholesome mental state such as
covetousness ill-will and presumption in
me and with the abandoning of them my
mind will be unlimited immeasurable and
well-developed when a practices in this
way frequently abides thus his mind
acquires confidence in this base once
there's full confidence II he either
attains to the imperturbable now or else
he resolves upon it with wisdom that's
what you're starting to develop now
that's what all the insights are about
seeing how things work rather than why
they work is this the path to wisdom
on the dissolution of the body after
death it is possible that the evolving
consciousness may be passed on to a
rebirth in the imperturbable the
imperturbable is a 4th jhana and all of
the aruba drums if you only get to the
4th drama in this lifetime when you are
reborn you'll be reborn in a brahmaloka
and this particular brahmaloka lasts for
five hundred maha coppice i thought you
would ask that and ascend kya is one on
one on San kya is from the start of the
expansion of the universe until it stops
one ah sang kya it stops one oo saying
kya it contracts one on kasane kya it
stops
an awesome kaya is 10 with a hundred and
sixty zeros behind it that's how many
years 10 st. kaya is for us and kaya's
make up one maha kapa multiply that
times 500 why David figured out how many
how how far in a saint Kyra maha capo
was he measured a 10-point 12 point on
on his computer 1 inch and he multiplied
it out so that a Maha kappa was it was
I was trying to figure out you haven't
gotten to the 84
