Be aware of your MIND
Page 4
LGSaman
LIFE IS FULL OF DIFFICULTIES
Even though you understand the fact that " Life is full of difficulties" objectively, every
time you are faced with an issue, say
Miss the train Lose your job
Lose your phone
Fall ill
The MIND will say to you that something unreasonable has happened to you. How
can this happen to me !!
It is best to keep a balance mind, and do what is best, instead of getting carried away
with what the mind says and reacting to the situation. If there is nothing you can do,
accept the situation, as it is, and surrender to it; taking the mind off the issue.
IMPERMANENCE
Although you know that all forms, including thought forms are impermanent, your
MIND will want you to hang on to them, as if everything is permanent. It can even get
you to keep awake a whole night, stressing you out on a thought, when there is nothing you can do in the middle of the night.
MEDITATION
Being in the present moment, anchoring your awareness on your breath, the MIND
will try its best to take you to the future or past and get you involved in thoughts, instead of keeping your attention on the present moment.
If you identify "self" as your mind, you will be continuously stressed listening to the
talk of your mind.
Keeping "AWAKE" to the present moment, and knowing that, you are not the
thoughts of your mind, so that you are able to observing your thoughts, as they come
and go, will keep the MIND in its place.

Bring the practice of meditation in to your daily life.
Prac-
tice meditation gradually. Do not change the technique just
because you think one technique is better than the other. A
personal guidance from someone who may be familiar with
meditation will help the beginner as well as the confused meditator. Pick a teacher who has good reputation, a balanced
personality and who adheres closely to the Buddha’s teachings. For the beginner may be 15
minutes a day would suffice, then extend by another 5 minutes or so each week. A clear conscious and better concentration are the obvious results. Two popular Buddhist techniques are
the Mindfulness Breathing (Anapana) and Loving Kindness (Metta) meditation.

37 Factors of Awakening (Saththis Bodhipakshika dhamma)
Sometimes do we not wonder why we can never
free our minds from stress, conflict, attachment,
clinging (upadana) and the resulting karma
(aashrava) no matter how hard we try; no matter
how much we meditate?
The Buddha in fact addressed this very question in
Vasijatopama Sutta (Samyuttha Nikaya- Part III). He raised the question and
provided the answer for us. The Buddha said the reason why enlightenment
evades one is because one has not prepared and developed one’s mind to receive enlightenment. It is just like you can not grow rice by throwing some
seeds on the ground through your window. You need to prepare and develop
the quality of the land and supply water; only then will the seeds take root.
The Lord Buddha used beautiful imagery in order to explain matters. One
such metaphor used to answer the above question was that there is this hen.
She lays some eggs; but she does not keep them under her body and warm
them, keep vigil so that they will hatch. She yearns that one day her chicks
will break the egg shells and come out; but it never happens. Why? The reason, Buddha said, was because she has not warmed the eggs with her body
day and night, and kept vigil to help with the maturing of the chick. There is
this other hen, she lays some eggs. She sits on them gently and warms them
between her feathers day in and day out. Her chicks, when they are ready,
break the egg shells and come out whether she yearns for them to come out or
not. Likewise, the person who takes the time to prepare their mind to receive
enlightenment become enlightened, regardless of whether they worry about it
or not.
Another nagging question is how will we know whether our mind is developing at all? How many hours of meditating will it take? How many dhamma
deshana will it need? The much venerated monks of Mahamevna Uyana Asapuwa in Malabe, Sri Lanka in one of their 2012 vassana sermons used a great
example to illustrate the answer this dilemma. A man who works in his fields
with a mammoty does not see that each day his mammoty is getting worn out;
every day it gets a little shorter and smaller but he does not notice the difference. Everyday, he feels that he takes home the same mammoty that he brings
out into the field in the morning. Over time, however, he will see that his
mammoty is not what it used to be;

continued
over time he will see that the mammoty has got shorter and smaller. Our mind
is similar; we will not see if and by how much our mind has been developed
after one or one hundred sessions of meditation. This will become noticeable
to us over a period of time- how long that period will be will vary according
the the quality of our effort.
What do we need to do to prepare our minds for this awakening to happen?
The Buddha explained in Vasijatopama sutta what we need to do to prepare
and develop our mind is contained in the 37 factors of awakening (saththis bodhipaakshika dhamma). These are the 37 factors that will develop one’s mind
so that one is ready for enlightenment.
In this series we will look at the 37 factors (saththis bodhipaakshika dhamma)
in depth. What are the 37 factors?

In this letter we will examine the first block of four factors of awakening namely the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (sathara sathipattanas).
Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satara Sathipattana)
awakening
to happen
One of the best sources of information about the Four Foundations of Mindfulness is the Sathipattana Sutta (of the Majjhima Nikaya) itself. In this sutta, the
Buddha said:
“Ekāyano ayaṃ, bhikkhave, maggo sattānaṃ visuddhiyā, sokaparidevānaṃ
samatikkamāya, dukkhadomanassānaṃ atthaṅgamāya, ñāyassa adhigamāya,
nibbānassa sacchikiriyāya, yadidaṃ cattāro satipaṭṭhānā.”
[Translation: “This is the one and only way, monks, for the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, for the extinguishing of
suffering and grief, for walking on the path of truth, for the realisation of nibbāna: that is to say, the fourfold establishing of awareness.”]
The four foundations of mindfulness are thus:
A Mindfulness of body- Kayanupassana
B Mindfulness of Feelings- Vedananupassana
C Mindfulness of the mind itself- Chittanu passana
D Mindfulness of the mental contents- Dhammanupassana

A Mindfulness of body- Kayanupassana
The first of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (sathipattanas) is the mindfulness of the body Kayanupassana.
How does one become mindful of one’s body? The method of practice of this
mindfulness is explained through the Buddha’s own words (Buddha vachana)
as reported by the Great Disciple of the Buddha and the Treasurer of the
Dhamma (dhamma bhandagarika), Venarable Ananda Thero.
“Kathaṃ ca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati?”
[Translation: And how, monks, does a monk dwell observing body in body?]
According to Sathipattana sutta there are six aspects of one’s body one should
focus on in meditation.
Ānāpāna - Respiration
Iriyāpatha- Postures
Sampajāna- Constant Thorough Understanding of Impermanence
Paṭikūlamanasikāra- Reflections on Repulsiveness
Dhātumanasikāra- Reflections on the Material Elements
Navasivathika- Nine Charnel-ground Observations
Satipattana
Sutta
describes
Ānāpāna or respiration mindfulness
Satipattana Sutta describes how one develops respiration mindfulness thus:
“Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu araññagato vā rukkhamūlagato vā suññāgāragato vā nisīdati pallaṅkaṃ ābhujitvā, ujuṃ kāyaṃ paṇidhāya, parimukhaṃ satiṃ upaṭṭhapetvā.
So sato va assasati, sato va passasati. Dīghaṃ vā assasanto ‘dīghaṃ assasāmī’ ti
pajānāti,5 dīghaṃ vā passasanto ‘dīghaṃ passasāmī’ ti pajānāti. Rassaṃ vā assasanto ‘rassaṃ assasāmī’ ti pajānāti, rassaṃ vā passasanto ‘rassaṃ passasāmī’ ti
pajānāti. ‘Sabbakāyapaṭisaṃvedī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘sabbakāyapaṭisaṃvedī
passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati. ‘Passambhayaṃ kāyasaṅkhāraṃ assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati,
‘passambhayaṃ kāyasaṅkhāraṃ passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati.”
[Translation: Here a monk, having gone into the forest, or to the foot of a tree,
or to an empty room, sits down cross-legged, keeps his body upright and fixes
his awareness in the area around the mouth. With this awareness, he breathes
in, with this awareness, he breathes out. Breathing in a deep breath, he understands properly: "I am breathing in a deep breath." Breathing out a deep
breath, he understands properly: "I am breathing out a deep breath." Breathing
in a shallow breath, he understands properly:
"I am breathing in a shallow breath."
Breathing out a shallow breath, he understands properly: "I am breathing out a
shallow breath." In this way he trains himself: "Feeling the whole body, I shall

continued
breathe in." "Feeling the whole body, I shall breathe out," thus he trains himself. "With
the bodily activities calmed, I shall breathe in," thus he trains himself. "With the bodily activities calmed, I shall breathe out," thus he trains himself.]
What follows is imagery that aids in the understanding of Ānāpāna mindfulness further:
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, dakkho bhamakāro vā bhamakārantevāsī vā dīghaṃ vā
añchanto ‘dīghaṃ añchāmī’ ti pajānāti, rassaṃ vā añchanto ‘rassaṃ añchāmī’ ti pajānāti. Evameva kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu dīghaṃ vā assasanto ‘dīghaṃ assasāmī’ ti
pajānāti….”
[Just as a skilful turner or a turner’s apprentice, while making a long turn understands properly:
"I am making a long turn," and while making a short turn, understands properly: "I am making
a short turn," just so, the monk, breathing in a deep breath, understands properly……]
This observation could be entirely of your own respiratory process internally; it could
be the observation of an external (“bahiddha va”) process of respiration (someone
else’s) or it could be a combination of both internal and external observation of the
respiratory function.
“Iti ajjhattaṃ vā kāye kāyānupassī viharati, bahiddhā vā kāye kāyānupassī viharati,
ajjhattabahiddhā vā kāye kāyānupassī viharati, …..”
[Translation: Thus he dwells observing body in body internally, or he dwells observing body in
body externally, or he dwells observing body in body both internally and externally.]

According to
legend, the two merchant brothers Taphassu and Bhallika met the Buddha, after listening to a sermon these brothers had asked the Buddha for souvenir which they received eight of His hair. With the help of the local ruler King Okkalapa in Burma the
brothers enshrined these relics in this pagoda said to be together with the relics of
three other Buddhas; Kakusanda Konagama and Kassapa.
