Nothing to do, nowhere to go

No longer in a hurry

Anapannasati song

Breating in, breating out

Breating in, breating out

I am blooming like a flower

I am fresh as the dew

I am solid as a mountain

I am ferm as the earth

Breating in, breating out

I am water reflecting, what is right, what is true

And I feel theire’s space deep inside of me

I am free I am free I am free.

Pendent Origination Causal effect: Duccka Catch it at the sensory contact to prevent the Pendent Origination to start spinning.

If contact, the cause are not enclenchés.

Pendant Origination: Triple gem : Buddha Dhamma Shanga Les 3 refuges En se penchant (bow) représente un shalow meaning Ca ne veut rien dire s’il n’y a pas de pratique.

Practice : truly get Essence of the triple gem :

Purity

Brigthness

Tranquility

By practice, we devellop the quality of the Buddha.

By praticing Anapanasati correctly : Shila : vertu, right intention Samadhi : concentration Pana : wisdom * fondamental principal in Buddha.

—

Coolness : meaning of Nibbana 1- short coolness (temporary) 2- coincidentaly - preventing defilments; anger, fear, selfishness

Nibbana : highest benefit of Ananpanasati;    Nothing to do with death

Paninibbana : death of an enlighted being

Nibbana : Hot coal cooling down soup cooling down wild elephant trained

Physical nibbana : person is confortable, cool life, roof, job, family. Highest meaning : Coolness of the mind; No attatchment, no defilments 

By praticing Anapanasati, you’ll know your last breath.

« Stay with the cool calm Nature, Let go of negativity, Reset the mind » Thai Chi teacher constant message

Anapanasati : we practice it to get a life free of Ducca.

Map\Travelling

Pendant of Origination is the map, to know ourselves and show us how to end Duccka Anapanasati is walking , is the way to do what need to be done —

Love 1- Not knowing why, naturally, instinct (ordinary) reproduction,

solve special problem Under the power of Love

2- The mindfull one, that we learn true mindfullness, Love beyond Love, is free Love

+ - Back and forth is Duccka

Solving problem with violence bring more Duccka, solve with no violence

5 Condas: Body, feelings, perceptions, mental co-efficient, consciousness.

Ways to understand ourselves, to understand that life is non self

This is how we remove Duccka

More Condas are fit, the most strong for survival

—

Concept of self bring selfishness, arm us and others, unless delt wisely (on ordinary level) : self training

On Dhamma Level all self is Duccka.

—

Life is development, life is improvment The fittest survive.. We need to train or violence come. *Developpe Cool*

—

** Nonself because of impermanence, constant change

Breating system; Power, Chi, Prana Always come back to it

—

Cannot see the true Nature because of Self and Ego

—

Geccko : « Duccka! » Smart Geccko : « Let go!»

—

We need contrary to understand

Health vs Sickness   

Ducca vs Love

—

Buddhism is not a Philosophy because Buddha did not stand with hypothese.

—

We need to understand Ducca so we can deal with it.

Result of craving 1- sensual pleasures 2- to become something someone 3- resisting to negativity (dualities)

Our Duty : Need to LET GO of the cause : pain : healing pain               

Comes from the wrong view, wrong understanding

Our Duty is to make it happen

—

* 4 noble truths : Right view / effort / Harmony Mindfulness / concentration / all in one

3 ponds : 1- Annicca; impermanence 2- Ducca; and way out of Ducca; bridge : 8 fold noble path 16 pillons, 16 steps. 3- Annatta, no me no mine

—

How we getting treated is their Karma How we react is our Karma

—

Our life is limited, but the craving is not

—

Duccka : - Get what we don’t want - Don’t get what we want - Seperate from love ones + 5 Kundas, like a hand, don’t cling (hold on to), open it.

- How can you loose something you never had?

To cool down : soupirs, soupirs, soupirsss., yawns, yawning.

Day 6

Craving : desire under the power of ignorance or stupid desire (Danha)

If craving, Bava, an existence is created (in some form or another), the existence of that craving while we crave it

Trought the power of craving, in a day, someone can go trought a bunch of existences… Imagine in a year… In a life…

All different existences nurtured by cravings Danha : Also wondering all over the place, liking this, liking that + Dyes the mind with what we go for.

3 types Wanting

to get

to be

to not be is to exist in a certain way, also even wanting to be dead is in one of those category

even the plants, the animals, the angels - the gods (more refine), have Danha

Kun Suton On last pm of interview : « Alcool, sex, drug, cigarette, make sure you don’t create addiction, very dangerous. If you don’t have addiction and do it in moderation, it’s ok », et ouvrant les bras en geste de salut, « You can enjoy life, life is great! »

Danha, Gamma : Sexual desire most basic, to attractive things, delicious Bava : want to be this, want to be that

Danha : Always blind, ignorant desire, stupidity, incorrectness

Hope?

Another form of Danha        Stupid hope, wise hope?

Danha : To desire, to want under the power of ignorance and folishness

Looking for the quenching of Ducca in the Ducca. « Dipping the salt in the salt » « Use the torn to take away the torn »

Very suttle breathing can save your life. If bleeding, going into deep meditation to almost stopping the hearth will stop the bleeding.

To attack the Ducca from behind

Not to hit shit with the short stick, take the long stick.
