The four lifetime companions that you haven’t met

February 23, 1991

Closing the meditation retreat for Thais at the SuanMokh International Hermitage

Let me emphasize ..”Walking with void.”

An action without an actor

Actor = Reaction to action-after an action. Not illogical.

Our practice = Dependent origination – Mindfulness of breathing

Dependent origination = Dhamma = See dhamma; see oneself.

The real Buddha is behind the curtain of stupidity.

One needs not travel to India. Wherever one finds stupidity, open that curtain and Buddha is there. Stupid when affected through contact

Feelings-Perception-Mind

Craving-Attachment-when experiencing loss

Mindfulness of breathing : become the master of one’s body-feelings-mind-dhamma

With concentration (Vipassana 9), become intensely aware with internal eyes!

Four lifetime companions originate from mindfulness of breathing

Mindfulness-Wisdom-Comprehension-Meditation

Use medicine-weapons to fight selfishness. Four boxing moves

Dhamma, delicate friend of the mind

Cut down the curtain hiding Buddha.

Continue practicing until you stand before the curtain.
