Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Friends: Are you Fully Aware and Clearly Comprehending ? The Blessed Buddha once said:Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu should dwell fully aware and clearly comprehending. This is our instruction to you. And how is a Bhikkhu fully aware?When a Bhikkhu continuously contemplates: 1: The Body as an Accumulation...2: The Feeling as a Sensation... 3: The Mind as a Mood...4: The Phenomenon as a Mental State.. while always acutely alert & clearly comprehending, he thereby removes any urge, envy, jealousy, frustration & discontent rooted in this world... In exactly this way is a Bhikkhu fully aware!And how is a Bhikkhu clearly comprehending? Here the Bhikkhu notes, understands & observes Feelings as they arise, remain present, and as these feelings pass away. He also notes, understands and observes anyThought as it arises, remains present, and as the thought passes away.He additionally notes, understands and observes any Perception as itarises, remains present, and as this experience instantly passes away...In exactly this way is a Bhikkhu clearly comprehending! Bhikkhus, anyBhikkhu should dwell fully aware and clearly comprehending !!!This is our instruction to you ... Source of reference (edited extract): The Grouped Sayings of the Buddha.
