The strategy of “being present”
at a sense-door is to
understand the dependent
origination.

This moment is the time to
establish the habit of being
consciously present at a
sense door and notice what
is happening during a sense
impression

To Be Mindful Your Sense
Door
What sense door am I at?
What feeling is present?
What is the quality of that feeling;
is it pleasant, unpleasant or
neutral? Why?
What thoughts are associated with
it?
Do you notice any changes about
quality of feeling and your
thoughts with time? i.e. arising
and disappearing

Buddha taught Ananda about
Dependent Origination
Understanding dependent
origination is difficult. It is
because people don’t
understand origination that
they are not able to penetrate it,
that their minds are befuddled.
Just as a ball of twine becomes
all tangled up and knotted, just
so are beings ensnared and
unable to free themselves from
the conditions of suffering.

Untangle the mind by
insight into dependent
origination
What we are experiencing is
the result of a series of
events that arose because
of previous conditions
and is linked as a causal
chain of effects, i.e. as
cyclic existence.

Break the linkage to End the
Cycle of Suffering
As you experience the series of
causal events, you can intercept
them at the linkage of either
consciousness, sense impression
and feeling. The ability to do this
gives you the potential to be free
of the conditioned cycle of
suffering that most people are
unknowingly trapped in.

Buddha gave instruction to
Bahiya
With the seen, there will be just the seen;
with the heard, there will be just the
heard; with the sensed there will be
just the sensed; with the cognized,
there will be just the cognized. When
for you, Bahiya, there is merely the
seen, heard, sensed and cognized, then
you will not be therein. Then you,
Bahiya, will be neither here nor there
nor within both – this is itself the end
of suffering.
