Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Friends: A good friend suggested this good & rational mental Exercise: Whenever a new phenomena emerges: Note: What was the originating cause of this arising!Whenever this new phenomena soon ceases: Note: Having exhausted its cause, any phenomena ceases!Conclude: How can one ever possibly keep or cling to such evanescence ???PS: Some momentary causalities of momentary objects: The proximate cause of the body is food, fluid & air.The proximate cause any feeling is sense contact.The proximate cause any perception is sense contact.The proximate cause any intention is sense contact.The proximate cause any mental construction is contact.The proximate cause any consciousness is object+sense organ.The proximate cause any phenomenon, being a mental state, is attention ... Dig it! Again and again ... The praxis of this discrimination is the freeing way to detaching disillusion ... PS: Please include the word Samahita in any comment, since then will my automatic mail filters pick it up and I will see it & respond!! Bhikkhu Samahita, Sri Lanka. Friendship is the Greatest ... Let there be Calm & Free Bliss !!! http://What-Buddha-Said.net Buddha-Direct What_Buddha_Said Dhamma-Questions sent to my email are quite Welcome.
