The document discusses the importance of studying the Tipitaka (Pali canon) and provides an example of how the principle of dependent origination operates in everyday life through the scenario of two school friends, Tissa and Kulisa, having a misunderstanding. It explains how ignorance can lead to a chain of mental and emotional reactions and stresses that studying the Tipitaka can help one understand these processes and cut off the negative chain at any point through mindfulness and wise reflection.
Eight Verses for Training the Mind: the Bodhisattva Ideal and the Bodhicitta ...manchesterbuddhistcentre
The document discusses two verses from "Eight Verses for Training the Mind" by Kadampa Geshe Langritangpa. The first verse is about regarding others as superior to oneself in order to overcome pride. The second verse is about watching the mind and forcefully stopping disturbing emotions as they arise, as they hurt both oneself and others. The document provides context and commentary on these verses, discussing concepts like Buddha's compassion, cherishing others, disturbing emotions, and forcefully stopping klesas.
The document discusses several key learnings and concepts that the author gained from their philosophy class, including:
1) The idea of Brahman and how everything in nature is circular resonated deeply with the author.
2) Surveying from Sun Tzu taught the importance of observing and analyzing to avoid harm and create success.
3) Tolerance and accepting different beliefs requires great inner strength and can reduce suffering.
4) Eastern and Western philosophies identify the same problem of human ignorance but use different approaches like intuition versus logic to achieve enlightenment.
This document discusses stages of the human soul mind in life. It suggests that different stages exist in human life, each defined by particular psychological or social factors. Each new stage brings its own characteristic conflict that can only be surmounted through synthesizing opposing forces typically faced. The path of Evolutionary Enlightenment involves transcending the ego to open up space for conscious evolution. Inner freedom and stillness through meditation are important to disentangle from karma, history, and personal ego in order to embrace the wider demands of evolution. Compassion is a universal principle for happiness that begins with empathy and blossoms into kindness. Suffering stems from identifying with mind and body, and coming out of suffering involves moving away from external causes and realizing the

This document provides an overview of Module 5 of a personal development course focused on mindfulness. It introduces mindfulness and its benefits, such as reducing stress and improving mental focus. The key aspects of mindfulness discussed are being present in the moment without judgment of experiences. Several mindfulness exercises are described, including breath awareness and mindful chores. The poem "The Guesthouse" is presented as a metaphor for experiences being guests that pass through us. Developing helpful habits like daily mindfulness practice is encouraged to support personal goals.
Laurie has had a long journey exploring different body-oriented psychotherapy modalities beginning with Rubenfeld Synergy and Jungian analysis. She went on to study massage therapy, Touch for Health kinesiology, and the Hakomi Method. While finding Hakomi very helpful, she felt it did not fully address her own issues with aggression. She then studied modern group analysis which directly confronted aggression. Each method helped her develop different aspects of herself and her practice, with an overall emphasis on connecting the mind and body.
This document discusses how habits and character are formed through our thoughts and actions. It states that we have complete control over the habits and character we develop through controlling our thoughts. It provides two examples: 1) A cashier who considers embezzling funds and how entertaining that thought can grow into an uncontrollable action. 2) A young man who starts drinking socially but develops an addiction by continually entertaining thoughts of drinking. The key is that we must banish undesirable thoughts from our minds as soon as they enter to avoid developing bad habits.

This document outlines a workshop on resiliency. It includes an introduction, understanding resilience, resilient qualities, obstacles to resilience like trauma, stress, adversity and explanatory styles. It discusses 10 resilient qualities like emotional regulation, impulse control, attachment and belonging. It also covers the physiological and psychological impacts of trauma and how it can affect families and communities. The overall goal is to promote resilience in individuals, families and communities.
This document provides an overview of a philosophy lesson on intersubjectivity. It discusses key concepts like the self and other, interpersonal relations, empathy, and alienation. Regarding intersubjectivity, it explains that this occurs when the self recognizes the other and vice versa. Deeper intersubjectivity involves intimate self-giving and receiving between individuals. The document also discusses the importance of authentic dialogue, availability to others, and embracing differences in building harmonious relationships and communities. It aims to promote understanding and respect between people in spite of negative experiences.
This document provides an overview of some key concepts in Zen Buddhism. It explains that Zen meditation aims to see things as they truly are through observing the mind and mental processes. Regular meditation can reveal patterns of grasping and aversion that cause suffering. Continued practice may lead to insights about the illusory nature of the self and experience of "no-mind", seeing all things as empty yet fully present. The document briefly outlines some basic Zen concepts like compassion, conditioned arising, emptiness, karma, and no-self. It emphasizes that Zen is a practice requiring determination, not just intellectual discussion.
This document discusses the concept of suspending one's own viewpoints and opinions when listening to others in dialogue. It explains that truly listening without judgment requires putting aside our own perspectives to understand other positions. The author provides examples from her personal experiences engaging with those holding opposing views. She found that by suspending her opinions, she gained deeper insights into others and recognized the limits of her own perceptions. The document also draws a comparison between suspending one's views and the symbolism of the Hanged Man tarot card, representing open-minded awareness and willingness to see from new perspectives.
The document discusses using awareness of the human will as a tool for more effective teaching. It argues that will is an attribute of the mind that allows the release of energy for tasks like movement, thought, and learning. By becoming conscious of one's own will and how it functions, a teacher can create a low-energy classroom environment and help students who get blocked by relating to static self-images or expending too much energy. Understanding will as something that is used constantly, rather than just in times of great effort, allows both teachers and students to gain more control over their learning processes.

ACT’s Six Core Processes
A number of things make ACT unique among therapies and approaches. One of ACT’s differences stands out:
It is based on a scientific program that does not simply theorize what helps; rather, each component of
ACT is analyzed and presented separately to explicitly detail how it helps people live a richer, more vital
life. ACT is composed of six such components that we refer to as the six core processes. Each of the processes is
individual but not mutually exclusive. This means that each one of the processes works with the others. When
combined, the six core processes form a circular model that represents psychological flexibility.
The six core processes of ACT can be viewed separately and defined individually. In this chapter, we look at
each process in detail, which will be helpful to you in learning ACT as you will see how each process makes
ACT work. Furthermore, each process is individually mediated to be a valid mechanism of change. That means
if you successfully focus on any one of these processes in your clinical work, you should see an improvement in
psychological flexibility. This last term, psychological flexibility, represents the whole ACT model of health.
All six processes seek to increase psychological flexibility or coming in full contact with painful experiences
and with uniquely chosen values, while consciously choosing the actions to engage in a meaningful life.
Notice from this description that psychological flexibility does not prescribe one’s attempts to escape or avoid
painful experiences but instead invites experiencing them. To work with our pain where painful experiences
do not exclusively govern our behavior. That is what ACT’s six processes are about. The six processes include
acceptance, defusion, present moment, self-as-context, values, and commitment.
ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance is practicing openness to private events (thoughts, feelings, sensations, memories). We often focus
on our clients’ most difficult private events (e.g., anxiety, sadness, physical pain, etc.) as targets for therapy.
In ACT, individuals are encouraged to be accepting of their experience, rather than avoiding private events
such as anxiety, sadness, or physical pain. Because the term acceptance can have different meanings to others,
it is important to note that in ACT, acceptance means a willingness to come into contact with a person’s
whole experience, including the unpleasant internal stuff that shows up. Acceptance is not liking or wanting
these experiences, is not begrudgingly or angrily saying they exist, and is not giving up and not doing anything;
rather we encourage a willingness to notice those difficult private events, to allow them to be there as part of
your experience.
Now, because unpleasant private events can be painful, we do not encourage this contact with private
experiences without a function. The function of acceptance is to further the goal of working toward.

Eight Verses for Training the Mind: the Bodhisattva Ideal and the Bodhicitta ...manchesterbuddhistcentre
When someone we have helped and placed our hopes in greatly harms us, this verse teaches us to see them as an excellent spiritual friend. This is an incredibly difficult practice that involves letting go of expectations, hopes, and feelings of betrayal. Rather than retaliate or feel like a victim, we must understand others and see challenging situations as opportunities for spiritual growth and insight into impermanence and interdependence. Forgiving others and life itself is a profound way of renouncing suffering and progressing on the bodhisattva path.
Vietnamese Buddhism has a long history of more than 2000 years. Its origin dates back to the 3rd century B.C., when numerous Buddhist missions were sent abroad by Emperor Asoka to disseminate Lord Buddha’s Teachings in such distant countries beyond the borders of India as those in Africa, West and Central Asia as well as South East Asia including Malaysia, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and North Vietnam, which was known then as Giao Chau ( modern Bac Ninh province ).
Vietnamese Buddhism can be roughly divided into 4 periods:
1. From its beginning in Ancient Times to the 10th century A.D.,
2. Its Golden Age from the 11th century to the 14th century,
3. Its Decline in the 15th century and its Restoration in later centuries,
4. Contemporary Vietnamese Buddhism and its Activities in the present situation.
Social works are the works that every community, group or individual has to do. Those works seek to improve the quality of life and well-being. Alcohol has been described as one of the prime causes of man’s physical and moral degradation. Currently, heroin is considered a thousand times more harmful and dangerous. This problem is now worldwide. Thefts, robberies, sexual crimes and swindling of vast magnitude have taken place due to the pernicious influence of drugs. Drug rehabilitation is one of importance problems in our society. Drugs are substances that cause to us many problems. When we use it a few times, we will be dependent both physically and mentally. The drugs which are most commonly used consist of traditional opiate, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, wine, beer, tobacco and some other stimulants causing the nervous system to be excited. If children and youth use drugs like that, they will be dependent on both physically and mentally, affecting their health, learning and their work. In this paper we will study how to rehabilitate drugs and the Buddhist viewpoint on it.
The Patthana is a Buddhist scripture that is part of the Abhidhamma Pitaka in the Pali Canon. It examines 24 types of conditioning relationships between all phenomena. It arranges phenomena into groups and subclasses them using different frameworks to systematically analyze how they condition each other through various causal relationships. It is considered one of the most profound texts in the Abhidhamma for its intricate and thorough investigation into the conditional nature of all phenomena.
Rupa is one of the four ultimate realities in Buddhism and one of the five aggregates that make up a being. It refers to material form or phenomena. There are 28 types of rupa which can be divided into two categories - the four essential rupas which are earth, water, fire, and air elements, and 24 derivative rupas which depend on the essential rupas. Rupa arises from four causes and ceases after 17 moments, emphasizing its impermanent nature. It comprises characteristics of both matter and energy.
This document discusses the concept of cetasikas or mental factors in Buddhism. It defines cetasikas as mental states that arise together with consciousness and influence whether the mind is in a good, bad or neutral state. There are 52 types of cetasikas that can arise in varying degrees with consciousness. Cetasikas are divided into universal factors that arise with all consciousnesses, particular factors that arise with some consciousnesses, beautiful/moral factors, and immoral factors. The document provides detailed lists and explanations of the different types of cetasikas and how they combine microscopically with different types of consciousness.
Kamavacara cittas are the 54 types of consciousness mostly experienced through the senses. They can be divided into four categories:
1. Akusala cittas (12 types of immoral consciousness) which are further divided into lobha-mula, dosa-mula, and moha-mula cittas based on their root causes of greed, hatred, and delusion.
2. Ahetuka cittas (18 rootless types of consciousness).
3. Kama-sobhana cittas (24 beautiful types of consciousness in the sense sphere) which can be further divided into maha-kusala, maha-vipaka
This document discusses the Buddhist concepts of vithi (cognitive series), citta (consciousness), and rupa (corporeality). It explains that:
1) Vithi refers to the chain of consciousness that arises through the six sense doors in response to sense objects.
2) Citta arises and passes away extremely rapidly, at a rate of over 1,000 billion times per eye blink. The lifespan of each citta is measured as three very short moments.
3) Rupa has a lifespan of 17 times longer than citta, arising and passing at a rate of over 58 billion times per second in masses rather than singularly like citta.
This document discusses the importance of concentration from a Buddhist perspective. It provides background on concentration ("samadhi" in Pali) and defines it as the ability to focus attention on a particular activity without distraction. The document explains that concentration is essential for successful study, meditation, problem-solving, and achieving good outcomes in life. It is one of the factors of the Noble Eightfold Path and helps modify and purify the mind. Developing concentration through regular meditation practice can provide mental and physical benefits as well as help control the mind.
Paharada Sutta - Eight excellent and wonderful things in the great ocean and...Bhik Samādhipuñño
1. The document discusses an analogy made in Buddhist teachings between the eight excellent qualities of the great ocean and the qualities of the Buddha's teachings.
2. The Buddha's teachings have eight qualities - they develop gradually, have firm boundaries, do not tolerate the immoral, unify all people under the teachings, do not change with additions or subtractions, have one taste of liberation, contain many precious aspects, and are the domain of noble beings.
3. The gradual and patient nature of developing understanding in the Buddha's teachings is emphasized, as is avoiding hastily trying to penetrate the highest knowledge without proper practice and progress.

3) Rupa has a lifespan of 17 times longer than citta, arising and passing at a rate of over 58 billion times per second in masses rather than singularly like citta.
This document discusses the importance of concentration from a Buddhist perspective. It provides background on concentration ("samadhi" in Pali) and defines it as the ability to focus attention on a particular activity without distraction. The document explains that concentration is essential for successful study, meditation, problem-solving, and achieving good outcomes in life. It is one of the factors of the Noble Eightfold Path and helps modify and purify the mind. Developing concentration through regular meditation practice can provide mental and physical benefits as well as help control the mind.
Paharada Sutta - Eight excellent and wonderful things in the great ocean and...Bhik Samādhipuñño
1. The document discusses an analogy made in Buddhist teachings between the eight excellent qualities of the great ocean and the qualities of the Buddha's teachings.
2. The Buddha's teachings have eight qualities - they develop gradually, have firm boundaries, do not tolerate the immoral, unify all people under the teachings, do not change with additions or subtractions, have one taste of liberation, contain many precious aspects, and are the domain of noble beings.
3. The gradual and patient nature of developing understanding in the Buddha's teachings is emphasized, as is avoiding hastily trying to penetrate the highest knowledge without proper practice and progress.
Vietnamese New Year, known as Tết, is the most important holiday in Vietnam, marking the arrival of spring based on the lunar calendar. It takes place from the first day of the first lunar month (late January to early February) until at least the third day. Traditions include cleaning homes, visiting family, giving money in red envelopes, paying respects to ancestors, making offerings at family altars, sharing greetings, eating special foods like bánh chưng and bánh dầy, and celebrating to ward off evil spirits. Tết celebrations emphasize family, tradition, food, and wishing one another prosperity in the new year.
The document discusses the history of councils held to edit and standardize the Tipitaka scriptures in Thailand. It describes 9 councils that were held:
1) The first council in Thailand was held in 1320 CE in Chiang Mai, organized by Phra Dhammatin Maha Thera under the patronage of King Tilokaraj.
2) The second council was held in 1788 CE in Bangkok under King Rama I and the Supreme Patriarch to address errors that had arisen.
3) The third council from 1831-1836 printed the scriptures for the first time using Thai alphabet rather than Khmer.
4) Subsequent councils updated and standardized
Lec. 8 the analysis and selection of the doctrines in tipitaka for applicatio...Bhik Samādhipuñño
This document discusses Buddhist concepts for understanding the mind and applying loving-kindness (metta) in daily life. It explains that the mind is made up of momentary mental states (cittas) and mental factors (cetasikas). Wholesome states like metta arise from right understanding of realities as impermanent and non-self. Developing mindfulness (sati) of present-moment experiences allows insight (panna) into the nature of realities and eradication of defilements. Metta can be cultivated through tranquility meditation (samatha) or insight meditation (vipassana) with awareness of realities.
Lec. 7 computerized search system for tipitaka [budsir]Bhik Samādhipuñño
The document summarizes the BUDSIR project, which digitized the Pali Tipitaka Buddhist scriptures and developed a searchable database and retrieval system. It details that BUDSIR was the first digital edition of the Tipitaka and can search for words, phrases, and occurrences across its volumes. It notes that additional scriptures were later added to expand the database.
Lec. 6 the explanation of tipitaka in brief by atthakathacariyaBhik Samādhipuñño
The document discusses the Atthakathacariyas, who composed the early Pali commentaries. It describes how Buddhaghosa built upon their work in the 5th century CE when compiling his famous commentaries. It also mentions other important commentators like Dhammapala, Upasena, and Buddhadatta who further expanded on the commentarial tradition in Sri Lanka. Overall, the document provides historical context about the authors and development of the Pali commentarial literature.
Lec. 5 the order of the important buddhist scripturesBhik Samādhipuñño
The document summarizes the order and origins of important Buddhist scriptures in Theravada Buddhism. It discusses how the Tipitaka was compiled and then expanded through commentaries, sub-commentaries, and other explanatory texts over centuries. Many of these post-canonical texts were first composed in Sri Lanka and translated to Pali by scholars like Buddhaghosa, making them accessible to wider audiences. They provide historical context for understanding the Tipitaka and the Buddha's teachings.
Lec. 4 the classifying system of tipitaka in thailandBhik Samādhipuñño
1. The document discusses the classification system of the Tipitaka in Thailand. It describes the three divisions of the Tipitaka - the Vinaya Pitaka, Sutta Pitaka, and Abhidhamma Pitaka - and provides details on the contents of each.
2. Specifically, it outlines the structure of the Vinaya Pitaka, including its three divisions of Sutta-vibhanga, Khandhakas, and Parivara. It provides information on the rules and contents of each section.
3. The document aims to explain the organization and classification of the canonical Buddhist texts within the Tipitaka collection as practiced in Thailand.
Lec. 3 inscribing and printing tipitaka in thailand.Bhik Samādhipuñño
This document provides background information on the early development of Pali literature in Thailand. It discusses how Theravada Buddhism first arrived in Thailand during the 3rd century BC through missionaries from India sent by Emperor Ashoka. It was the dominant form of Buddhism until the 11th century AD when northern Thailand came under the influence of Burmese Buddhism from the Pagan kingdom. Theravada Buddhism was later revived in Thailand due to cultural exchanges with Sri Lanka in the 13th century, establishing it as the predominant tradition. The document provides historical context on the transmission and evolution of Pali Buddhist literature in Thailand.
The document provides details about the first three Buddhist councils:
1) The First Council was convened 3 months after the Buddha's death to recite and approve the teachings (Dhamma) and monastic rules (Vinaya). 500 monks unanimously approved what was recited.
2) The Second Council was held 100 years later to address disputes over breaking minor rules. It was held in Vesali and reaffirmed the original teachings.
3) The Third Council was convened to remove non-Buddhist teachings that had entered the Sangha. It took place in Pataliputra in India around 250 BCE.
The document discusses the origins and composition of the Tipitaka, the Pali Buddhist canon. It notes that the Tipitaka was compiled in the Pali language and consists of 3 "baskets" - the Vinaya Pitaka on monastic discipline, Sutta Pitaka containing the Buddha's discourses, and Abhidhamma Pitaka with philosophical discussions. It describes how devoted monks carefully preserved the Buddha's teachings orally and later committed them to writing at recitation councils to ensure their accurate transmission to future generations.
The document summarizes the Kalama Sutta, a famous Buddhist discourse where the Buddha advises the Kalamas, citizens of Kesaputta who are confused by different religious teachers. The Buddha tells the Kalamas to not accept teachings based on tradition, rumors, scriptures, or other authorities, but to only accept what they know for themselves to be good or bad. He encourages free inquiry and examining his own teachings to attain confidence in the true value of the teacher. The Buddha's message was that faith is not enough for liberation and his teaching invites people to examine it for themselves.
2. Dharmma
BeforeHis reaching Nirvana,
the Buddha had given His last
admonition to His disciples that:
“the Dharmma which I have
taught and the Fundamental
Laws enacted, will be your
guidance now that I no longer
remain with you.”
3. Dharmma
To comply with the Lord Buddha‟s last
teachings, the Elders Arahat convoked
the First Buddhist Council at Rajagrha, so
that together they would come upon an
agreement on reciting all of the Buddha‟s
teachings during His 45-year lecturing to
and educating His disciples.The
foundation for Buddhist literature, which
later was known as the Triple Buddhist
Canon of Scriptures (the Tipitakas or the
Three Baskets), was then procreated.
4. Dharmma
From then, the sacred teachings of
the Lord Buddha advanced with the
traveling footsteps of His Great
Disciples spreading to all four
directions. Wherever this teachings
channeled to, the followers learned
and practiced them accordingly in
their respective regional dialect, just
as the Buddha has instructed:
5. Dharmma
anujānāmi, bhikkhave, sakāya niruttiyā
buddhavacanaṃ pariyāpuṇitun”ti. “I allowed
you, o bhikkhus, to learn the words of the
Buddha in your own dialect.” So from the
beginning, according to this teaching, the
Buddhist scriptures were modified into
many different native tongues. When
Buddhism developed into various schools,
each of the branches tried to compile its
own Sacred Scriptures in the native
language where Buddhism arrived.
6. Pali Tipitaka and commentaries
Because of the great size of the Pali
Tipitaka and commentaries, as can
be seen from the amount of data
Only a small number of learned and
interested scholars will penetrate to
the Tipitaka and the Atthakatha.This
limits the study of these scriptures
to a very small circle of specialists.
7. Pali Tipitaka and commentaries
Because the Tipitaka and Atthakatha
are the root texts of Theravada
buddhism, the limitation on the study
of these scriptures becomes not only
an impediment to the dissemination of
Buddhism, but also opens the way for
misconceptions about the Buddha's
teaching and thence to the birth of
mistaken practices, which, once arisen,
can very easily spread.
8. An example of the advantages
of Tipitaka study
If you all know how An example of the
to take advantages of advantages of
Tipitaka study, you Tipitaka study in
will all get benefits Dependent
Let’s come to the Origination in
following example everyday life
way;
9. Paticca-samuppada
Letus take a simple example of
how the principle of Dependent
Origination (=Paticca-
samuppada operates) in
everyday life. Suppose there are
two school chums, named
„Tissa' and „Kulisa‟
10. Example
Whenever they meet at school they
smile and say "Hello" to each other.
One day Tissa sees Kulisa, and
approaches him with a friendly
greeting ready, only to be answered
with silence and a sour expression.
Tissa is peeved by this, and stops
talking to Kulisa. In this case, the
chain of reactions might proceed in
the following way:
11. Example
1. Ignorance (avijja):Tissa is
ignorant of the true reason for
Kulisa's grim face and sullenness.
He fails to reflect on the matter
wisely and to ascertain the real
reasons for Ian's behavior, which
may have nothing at all to do
with his feelings for Tissa.
12. Example
2. Volitional Impulses
(sankhara): As a result, Tissa
proceeds to think and formulate
theories in his mind, conditioned by
his temperament, and these give rise
to doubt, anger, and resentment,
once again dependent on his
particular temperament.
13. Example
3. Consciousness (viññana):
Under the influence of these
defilements, Tissa broods. He takes
note of and interprets Kulisa's
behavior and actions in accordance
with those previous impressions; the
more he thinks about it, the surer he
gets; Kulisa's every gesture seems
offensive.
14. Example
4. Body and mind (nama rupa):
Tissa's feelings, thoughts, moods,
facial expressions and gestures, that
is, the body and mind together, begin
to take on the overall features of an
angry or offended person, primed to
function in accordance with that
consciousness.
15. Example
5. Sense bases (salayatana):
Tissa's sense organs are primed
to receive information that is
related to and conditioned by the
body-mind organism's state of
anger or hurt.
16. Example
6. Contact (phassa): The
impingement on the sense organs
will be of the activities or
attributes of Kulisa which seem
particularly relative to the case,
such as frowning expressions,
unfriendly gestures, and so on.
17. Example
7. Feeling (vedana): Feelings,
conditioned by sense contact,
are of the unpleasant kind.
18. Example
8. Craving (tanha):
Vibhavatanha, craving for non-
being, arises, the dislike or
aversion for that offensive image,
the desire for it to go away or to
be destroyed.
19. Example
9. Clinging (upadana): Clinging
and obsessive thinking in relation
to Ian's behavior follows. Kulisa's
behavior is interpreted as a direct
challenge; he is seen as a disputant,
and the whole situation demands
some kind of remedial action.
20. Example
10. Becoming (bhava): Tissa's
subsequent behavior falls under
the influence of clinging and his
actions become those of an
antagonist.
21. Example
11. Birth (jati): As the feeling of
enmity becomes more distinct, it
is assumed as an identity. The
distinction between 'me' and
'him' becomes more distinct, and
there is a self which is obliged to
somehow respond to the
situation.
22. Example
12. Aging and death (jaramarana): This
'self,' or condition of enmity, exists and
flourishes dependent on certain conditions,
such as the desire to appear tough, to
preserve honor and pride, and to be the
victor, which all have their respective
opposites, such as feelings of worthlessness,
inferiority, and failure. As soon as that self
arises, it is confronted with the absence of
any guarantee of victory.
23. Example
Even if he does attain the victory he
desires, there is no guarantee that
Tissa will be able to preserve his
supremacy for any length of time.
He may not, in fact, be the 'tough
victor' he wants to be, but rather
the loser, the weakling, the one who
loses face.These possibilities of
suffering play with Tissa's moods and
produce stress, insecurity, and worry.
24. Example
They in turn feed ignorance, thus
beginning a new round of the cycle.
Such negative states are like
festering wounds which have not
been treated, and so continue to
release their 'poisoning' effect on
John's consciousness, influencing all
of his behavior, and causing
problems both for himself and for
others.
25. Example
In Tissa's
case, he may feel
unhappy for the whole of
that day, speaking gruffly to
whoever he comes into
contact with, and so
increasing the likelihood of
more unpleasant incidents.
26. Example
Inthis case, if Tissa were to practice
correctly he would be advised to
start off on the right foot. Seeing
his friend's sullenness, he could use
his intelligence (yoniso-manasikara:
considering in accordance with
causes and conditions) and reflect
that Kulisa may have some problem
on his mind --
27. Example
hemay have been scolded by his
mother, he may be in need of
money, or he may simply be
depressed. If Tissa reflected in
this way no incident would arise,
his mind would be untroubled,
and he might even be moved
toward compassionate action
and understanding.
28. Example
Once the negative chain of
events has been set in
motion, however, it can still
be cut off with mindfulness
at any point.
29. Example
For instance, if it had continued on
up to sense contact, where Kulisa's
actions were perceived in a negative
way,Tissa could still set up
mindfulness right there: instead of
falling under the power of craving
for non-being, he could instead
consider the facts of the situation
and thereby gain a fresh
understanding of Kulisa's behavior.
30. Example
He could then reflect wisely in
regard to both his own and his
friend's actions, so that his mind
would no longer be weighed down
by negative emotional reactions, but
instead respond in a clearer and
more positive way. Such reflection,
in addition to causing no problems
for himself, could also serve to
encourage the arising of compassion.
32. The advantages of Tipitaka
study
1.In real life, the complete cycles or
chains of events, such as that
mentioned in this example, take
place very rapidly. A student finding
out that he has failed an exam,
someone receiving bad news, such as
the death of a loved one, or a man
who sees his wife with a lover,
33. The advantages of Tipitaka
study
forexample, may all feel intense
sorrow or shock, even going
weak at the knees, screaming or
fainting.The more intense the
attachment and clinging, the
more intense the reaction will
be.
34. The advantages of Tipitaka
study
2. It should be stressed once again
that the inter-determination within
this chain of events does not
necessarily have to be in sequential
order, just as chalk, a blackboard,
and writing are all indispensable
determinants for the white letters
on a blackboard's surface, but do not
have to appear in sequential order.
35. The advantages of Tipitaka
study
3.The teaching of Dependent Origination
attempts to clarify the workings of nature,
to analyze the unfolding of events as they
actually occur, so that the causes can be
more easily identified and corrected. As for
the details of how that correction can be
effectuated, they are not the concern of
the teaching of Dependent Origination,
but are rather the domain of magga (the
Path), or the Middle Way.
36. The advantages of Tipitaka
study
In any case, the examples given here
are very simplified and may seem
somewhat superficial.They are not
sufficiently detailed to convey the full
subtlety of the principle of Dependent
Origination, especially such sections as
ignorance as a determinant for
volitional impulses, and sorrow,
lamentation and despair conditioning
the further turning of the cycle.
37. The advantages of Tipitaka
study
Looking at our example, it may
appear that the cycle only arises
occasionally, that ignorance is a
sporadic phenomena, and that the
ordinary person may spend large
periods of his or her life without the
arising of ignorance at all. In fact, for
the unenlightened being, ignorance
of varying degrees is behind every
thought, action and word.
38. The advantages of Tipitaka
study
The most basic level of this
ignorance is simply the perception
that there is a self which is thinking,
speaking and acting. If this is not
borne in mind, the true relevance of
the teaching to everyday life may be
overlooked. For this reason some of
the more profound aspects of this
chain of events will now be
examined in more detail.
