Unidentified world!
03 July 2012
The world describe by great Samma Sambuddha is common to all kind of beings. Whether it is visible or invisible… human or not human… this world is common to all kind of beings. Whether they lives in the earth or not the world which Samma Sambuddha explained was common to all beings.
As you see the law of impermanency is applicable to the whole world. For all the eyes, ears, noses, tongues, bodies, mind and its phenomena. But they all doesn’t matter to us. Only the impermanence of selected set of eyes, ears, noses, tongues, bodies & mind matters to us.
So as you can observe, the law of impermanence doesn’t bring the suffering all the time. Impermanency is a natural phenomenon which can visible in the outer world. And the core of Buddhism is not about this outer world. There is this hidden unidentified world within us.
The world describe by great Samma Sambuddha is common to all kind of beings. Whether it is visible or invisible… human or not human… this world is common to all kind of beings. Whether they lives in the earth or not the world which Samma Sambuddha explained was common to all beings. Without identify this unknown new hidden unseen world of ours we cannot liberate from that world. If we fails to identify and understand this world, we will be stuck forever in it without a doubt.
So, let's begin to explore this world through easy examples. This will take you closer to the door of truth.
Now, see how the world arise with the way you accept things. And identify the cause of suffering through this acceptance.
You accept one package which has eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and a mind. Then you named it as "I". So when something happens to this package you feel suffering. You feel worries, depressed, stress.
Then the exterior package you built through that interior package. The forms you see through your eyes, the sounds you hear through your ears, the tastes you taste through your tongue, the fragrances you smell through your nose and the touches you feel through your body becomes your exterior package.
Through these 2 package you divide some "Ok, these are entertaining me… this is good for me… this is comforting me… well, these are better to be "Mine"!" Even the things & situations you categorize as bad and not entertaining goes to the “Mine” package.
So these “I & Mine”; 2 package have become your world now… Your very own, personal world... Now you protect this world… care for this world… trying to give the best to this world… trying to maintain this world… aren't you?
Let’s dig in to the deeper!
