Chapter 1: Firming the Crudest & the Most
Refinement
Settle the primary
attainment sphere (Patthama Magga) within the human body, allowing the
celestial body to arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere within the
celestial body, allowing the Rupa-Brahma body to arise.
Settle the primary
attainment sphere within the Rupa-Brahma body, allowing the Arupa-Brahma body
to arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere within the Arupa-Brahma
body, allowing the Dhamma body to arise.
Settle the primary
attainment sphere within the Dhamma body, the refined Dhamma body will
arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere within the refined Dhamma
body further, the refined Dhamma bodies will arise furthermore. Settle
the primary attainment sphere within every refined body, the refined body
becomes even more refined respectively, throughout the crudest ones and the
most refined one.
Throughout the
crudest ones and the most refined ones means the bodies that arose previously
are the crude ones, they are the past bodies. The body that arises in the
present moment is the most refined body.
Chapter 2: Disperse (Bisadarn) Bodies
Separate the five
bodies and do ‘the crudest and the most refinement’ to each of them until
completion. Firstly, separate the human body and settle the primary
attainment sphere (Patthama Magga) within the human body, the human body
will arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere within the arisen human
body, another human body will arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere
within such human body, the another human body will arise further.
Firming the human body only, resulting only the human bodies to arise, one by
one. Doing this until completion throughout the crudest and the most
refinement of the human body.
After doing this
until completion throughout the crudest and the most refinement of the human
body, continue to do it with the celestial body. Settle the primary
attainment sphere within the celestial body, another celestial body will
arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere within such celestial body,
another celestial body will arise further. Settle the primary attainment
sphere within the celestial body further, another celestial body will
arise. Doing this until completion throughout the crudest and the most
refinement of the celestial body.
Then, do the same
thing to Rupa-Brahma body, Arupa-Brahma body, and Dhamma body, one by one, respectively.
When doing this to each body, we have to settle the primary attainment sphere
within such body alone until completion throughout the crudest and the most
refinement, similar to the samples given in the case of human body and
celestial body.
It is stated as
‘the crudest and the most refinement’ because the color and complexion are
better than one another.
Chapter 3: Insertion of Bodies (Sorn Kaya)
This means that the
five bodies are inserted into each other. The human body will be the
external layer whereas the transcendental bodies namely the Arupa-Brahma body
and the Dhamma body are placed inside. To do the insertion, we have to
insert from the far end towards the beginning. This means that the Dhamma
body is inserted into the Arupa-Brahma body first. Then, the Arupa Brahma
body is inserted into the Rupa-Brahma body. The Rupa-Brahma body is
inserted into the celestial body, and the celestial body is inserted into the
human body, respectively. The five bodies are in-line like this.
Every single inserted body must be crystal clear inside one another.
Chapter 4: Reverse Placement of Bodies (Sab Kaya)
This means that the
five bodies are placed reversely. The human body must be settled at the
inner most whereas the transcendental body which is the Dhamma body must be at
the outer most. The reverse placement can be done from the beginning towards
the end. The human body will be placed within the celestial body.
The celestial body is, then, placed within the Rupa-Brahma body. The
Rupa-Brahma body is placed within the Arupa-Brahma body. Next, the
Arupa-Brahma body is placed within the Dhamma body which is the outer most
layer. The crudest is inside whereas the more refined Dhamma body is
outside. The center of the body and the heart’s celestial nourishing
liquid chamber of each body must
be exactly at the same points. Then, focus at the inner bodies to be more
crystal clear and refined from inside out, allowing the inner bodies to be
crystal clear and refined in manifold like the outer most body. Do the
same to each body.
Chapter 5: Insertion – Reversion – Multiplication
(Sorn – Sub – Tubtawee)
Settle the primary
attainment sphere in the middle of human body which is inserted inside as in
chapter 4, the celestial body will arise. Then, settle the primary
attainment sphere in the middle of celestial body, the Rupa-Brahma body will
arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere in the middle of Rupa-Brahma
body, the Arupa-Brahma body will arise. Settle the primary attainment
sphere in the middle of Arupa-Brahma body, the Dhamma body will arise.
Settle the primary attainment sphere in the middle of the Dhamma body, the more
refined Dhamma body will arise. Settle the primary attainment sphere in
the middle of the more refined Dhamma body, the even more refined Dhamma body
will arise further. Settle the primary attainment sphere in the middle of
every furtherly refined Dhamma body, the even more refined Dhamma body will
arise respectively. Do this until completion of throughout the crudest
and the most refinement as stated in chapter 1. Then, do the
reversion/insertion as stated in chapter 3 and 4. Do these inwardly and
continuously like a chain without a retreat but furtherly multiplication.
This is called Insertion-Reversion-Multiplicationmore and more
until the five bodies are flawlessly crystal clear and pure.
Chapter 6: Deepening into the Meditative Absorption (Jhana
Samapatti)
After we make the
five bodies pure and clean, we use the Dhamma body to deepen into the
meditative absorption (Jhana Samapatti) in order to travel to clearly
see the Nirvana, heaven, and hell.
We use the term ‘jhana’
because it is clear like crystal. Its shape is cylindrical with the
diameter of 2wa (4 meters), 1 hand’s width (keurb) in
thickness, and 6 wa (12 meters) in circumference. The jhanadisc
is underneath the Dhamma body like a seating base. However, its condition
changes as it becomes refined more and more.
The First
Absorption (1st jhana) appears as a crystal clear seating
disc. Its shape is 4 meters in diameter, 1 hand’s width in thickness, and
12 meters in circumference. It is clearer.
The Second
Absorption (2nd jhana) arises as replacement. It is clearer
and more refined. There are clearer and more refined jhana.
Then, one ponders to leave the 1st jhana to
get a new jhana. Thus, the crystal disc of the 1st jhana vanishes
and replaced by the 2nd jhana which is the new crystal disc of
the same shape and size. Then, the Dhamma body becomes clearer than when
it was seating on the 1st jhana.
The Third
Absorption (3rd jhana). One ponders further that they must be a more
refined jhana than the 2nd jhana,
wishing to abandon the 2nd jhana to get the new jhana.
Thus, the crystal disc of the 2ndjhana disappears
and replaced by the new crystal disc which is better and more refined.
This is the 3rd jhana. Thus, the Dhamma body becomes even
clearer.
The Fourth
Absorption (4th jhana). One ponders again that there must be a jhana which
is more refined and clearer than the 3rd jhana,
wishing to abandon the 3rd jhana and get the new jhanafurther.
Then, the crystal clear disc of 3rd jhana disappears
and replaced by the jhana which is more refined and clearer
crystal disc of the same shape and size. Then, the Dhamma body is clearer
than when he was with the 3rd jhana.
The Fifth
Absorption (ākāsānañcāyatana jhāna). After one
abandons the 4th jhana, the clean and pure crystal clear seat disc
disappears, and there remains only the empty space which is rounded with the
same size of the disappeared crystal clear disc. The empty space replaces
the disc beneath the Dhamma body who contemplates on the empty space as one’s
meditative concentration.
The Sixth
Absorption (viññāṇañcāyatana jhāna). One
contemplates further by minding the empty space that the empty space neither
have viññā nor have no viññā. It is so
sublime. Upon this contemplation, the empty space vanishes and replaced
by the more refined empty space. Then, the Dhamma body becomes superbly
refined.
The Seventh
Absorption (ākiñcaññāyatana jhāna). Then, one
contemplates on the emptiness of the sixthjhana that nothing
remains, not even a bit, not even the tiny, and not even a little. Once
one has meditative contemplation like this, the serving jhana disappears,
and there arises the more refined serving jhana. Thus, the
Dhamma body is even more refined than ever.
The Eighth
Absorption (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana jhāna).
Thereafter, one focuses and contemplates further that the feeling of emptiness
or nothingness neither has saññā nor has no saññā.
Upon this contemplation, the serving jhana vanishes
and replaced by the superbly refined serving jhana. As a
result, the Dhamma body becomes extraordinarily refined.
After one achieves
the eight meditative absorption (jhana samapatti), one has to proceed
into meditative absorption backwardly, from the eighty jhana to
the first jhana. Then, proceeding into the eight meditative
absorption forwardly from the first jhana to the eight jhana.
The jhana samapattimust be done forwardly and
backwardly totaling seven rounds. After the seventh round, one will be
firm in meditation, and the Dhamma body or Dhammakaya will cease, and the
Nirvana will draw the Dhamma body to reappear in the Nirvana realm.
If one wishes to
travel to heaven and/or hell, one has to deepen into meditative absorption or jhana
samapatti forwardly and backwardly for seven rounds. Then, one
can recollect the Dhamma body to do the travelling. However, during the
trip, one has to deepen into meditative absorption forwardly and backwardly
from time to time. This is to deepen into the jhana and
travel as if the jhana is one’s vehicle for visiting heaven
and hell per one’s wish.
Chapter 7: The Six Elements (The Six Dhatu)
Each of the five
bodies can be divided into 6 elements or dhatu namely the
solid, liquid, heat or temperature, wind or combustion, air or spaciousness,
and viññā or cognition.
Among the six elements, each element can be divided into six elements
repeatedly and infinitely. For example, the solid element alone contains
the six elements within. After the sixth time of dividing the solid
element which is one of the six elements, for the second round, there are still
six elements within the divided solid element. Taking the solid element
which is one of the six elements to make the dividing for the third time, no
matter how many time we make the dividing, the result is still the same.
But the difference is that the elements are even more refined. This is
similar to the element of liquid, combustion, and temperature or heat. In
order to see the refinement of elements, one has to do the dividing like this
to all of the five bodies.
Chapter 8: The Five Aggregates (The Five Khanda)
Each of the five
bodies has five aggregates as the origination, all alike. The characteristics
of five aggregates are as follows:
(a) Rupa Khanda:
The shape of this aggregate is rounded, crystal clear, pure and clean.
Its size is close to a banyan seed or sesame oil on the tip of a hairline which
had been flicked by a young man for
seven times. It is located at one’s origin of element or dhatu and
essence or dhamma.
(b) Vedana
Khanda: This aggregate’s shape is also rounded. But it is clearer
and purer than the Rupa Khanda. Its size is also smaller. Vedana
Khanda is located inside Rupa Khanda as the second inner layer.
(c) Sanna Khanda: This
Khanda is rounded, but it is clearer and purer than Vedana Khanda. Sanna
Khanda is smaller and located inside the Rupa Khanda as the third inner layer.
(d) Samkhara
Khanda: It is rounded with clearer and purer quality. Samkhara
Khanda is smaller than Sanna Khanda. It is located inside the Rupa Khanda
as the fourth inner layer.
(e) Vinnana
Khanda: This aggregate is also rounded, but it is clearer and purer than
Samkhara Khanda. It is located inside the Rupa Khanda as the fifth inner
layer.
The Five Aggregates
are within each other respectively like the Russian nestling doll or similar to
an egg yolk which is inside the white egg, and the white egg is inside the egg
crust. They are the same to all of the five bodies mentioned earlier.
However, the sizes of the Five Aggregates are bigger or smaller proportionately
to the sizes of bodies.
Chapter 9: Incarnation & Disembodiment of Bodies
The Five Aggregates
are located at the origin of element and essence (Dhatu and Dhamma). They
rest inside, and it is the same to all of the five bodies.
If the human body
deceases, the Five Aggregates which are the transcendental components of the
human body will relocate to the origin of element and essence of the celestial
body. Then, the Five Aggregates of the celestial body will be inserted
inside the five aggregates of the human body. After this, the human body
deceases. The five aggregates of the human body are transcendental like
the five aggregates of the celestial body.
If the celestial
body deceases, the five aggregates of the celestial body will be relocated to
the origin of element and essence at the center of the Rupa-Brahma body.
Thereafter, the five aggregates of the celestial body will cease. The
five aggregates of the Rupa-Brahma body will rest inside as the third inner
layer whereas the five aggregates of the celestial body will rest inside as the
second inner layer, and the five aggregates of the human body will rest as the
outer layer. All of them will be refined like the five aggregates of the
Rupa-Brahma body.
For Arupa-Brahma
body and Dhamma body, the process of deceasing and rebirth is the same to the
other aforesaid three bodies. This is similar to all other bodies
throughout the less refined ones and the most refined one. They have the
same process of deceasing and rebirth like the aforesaid three bodies.
Chapter 10: Contemplation on the Three Mundane Nature (Trilakshna)
The first four
primary bodies namely the human body, celestial body, Rupa-Brahma body, and
Arupa-Brahma body are impermanent (anicca), subject to suffering (dukkham), and
non-self (anatta). Other than these four bodies, ranging from the Dhamma
body to the further inner refined transcendental bodies are truly permanent
(nicca), subject to happiness (sukkham), and true self (atta).
From the Dhamma
body to Arahat Dhamma body, they make us known that the first four primary
bodies are impermanent, subject to suffering, and non-self.
Then, contemplate
on the Three Mundane Nature and the opposite Dhamma which are permanence
(nicca), happiness (sukkham), and true self (atta), along every lineage of each
category of bodies.
If a body falls
under the impermanence (anicca), sufferingfulness (dukkham), and non-self
(anatta) like the first four primary bodies, one has to contemplate on the
Three Mundane Nature. However, if a body falls under the opposite nature
which are permanence (nicca), blissfulness (sukkham), and true-self (atta),
which are the qualities of Dhamma body onward, one has to contemplate on nicca,
sukkham, and atta accordingly.
Chapter 11: The Six Internal Sensation Channels (Ayatana)
Each body has the
six internal sensation channels namely eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and
mind.
(a) The eyes are
called Cakkayatana which is pure and rounded. Its size is comparable to
the banyan seed, located in the middle of the eye crystal, both right and left
hand side. It is also known as the eye sensory. Within its middle,
there is the seeing element or Cakkudhatu which is purer, cleaner, and
smaller. Within its middle, there is Cakkuvinnanadhatu which is purer,
cleaner, and smaller than the Cakkudhatu. These enable one to know what
the figures that one sees are. There are also celestial cords for both
right and left eye which connect between the brain where one end merges to the
background cell wall and the other ends jointly
connect to the five aggregates (khanda) at the origin of element and essence.
(b) The
ears are called Sotayatana. Their shape is purely rounded, as small as a
yak’s hair. It encircles each other as many as seven layers and locates in the
middle of both right and left eardrum. This is called ‘hearing sensory’ where
the sotadhatu or hearing element which is purer, cleaner, clearer, and smaller,
is located within. Its function is for hearing with the ‘sotavinnanadhatu’
which is even purer, cleaner, clearer, and smaller, located within, whose
function is to recognize the what-about of each sound. Each of the right and
left sotavinnanadhatu is connected to a celestial cord which links to the brain
by merging into the membrane wall and joins altogether at the location of the
five aggregates (five khanda), the origin of element (dhatu) and essence (dhamma).
(c) The
nose is referred to as Gandayatana. Its shape is like a
deer’s hoof which is pure, clean, and clear located at the ethmoid or nasal
septum, the same to both left and right side. This is called the ‘smell
sensory’ where smelling element or Ganadhatu is located within for smelling
function. It is even purer, cleaner, clearer, and smaller. Within
the Ganadhatu, there is the Ganavinnanadhatu resting inside. It is even
so purer, cleaner, clearer, and smaller, whose function is to recognize each
smell’s what-about. Each of the left and right Ganavinnanadhatu is connected
with a celestial cord that reaches the brain and merges into the brain’s
backward adhesion’s bands where the other ends join altogether at the five
aggregates or five khanda where the origin of element or dhatu and essence or
dhamma is located.
(d) The
tongue is called jivayatana or the taste sensation whose shape is like the
lotus flower or lotus flower’s petal. It is clear, clean, and pure,
located allover the tongue. This is called the taste sensory where the
clearer, cleaner, and smaller jivadhatu or the tasting element rests within for
tasting. Within each of the jivadhatu, the jivavinnanadhatu rests
within. Its function is to recognize each taste’s what-about. Each
of the jivavinnanadhatu is connected with a celestial cord whose one end
reaches the brain and merges into the brain’s backward adhesions’ bands whereas
the other ends join altogether at the five aggregates or five khanda where the
origin of element or dhatu and essence or dhamma is located.
(e) The
bodily is called kayatana or the bodily sensation. Its shape is like a
lotus flower which is clear, clean, and pure, located at the bodily pores all
over our body. This is called the bodily sensory where the touching
element or kayadhatu which is clearer, cleaner, purer, and smaller, rests
within. Its function is to act like a receiver of all bodily
touches. Within each kayadhatu, there is kayavinnanadhatu or touching
sensory which is clearer, cleaner, purer, smaller, resting within. Its
function is to recognize each bodily touch’s what-about. There are
celestial cords all over our body connecting between the kayavinnanadhatu and
the five aggregates or five khanda located at the origin of element or dhatu
and essence or dhamma.
(f) The
mind or manayatana has the nature of inclining towards emotions. This is
called the mental nature whose form is clear, clean, pure, and rounded, rested
within the heart mass. It is referred to as the mental channel where the
mental element or manodhatu which is even clearer, cleaner, purer, and smaller,
resting within to perform its function in realizing any feeling which reaches
the mind. Within the manodhatu, there is the manovinnanadhatu or mental
sensory which is clearer, cleaner, purer, and smaller, resting within to
perform the function of knowing the what-about of each feeling or emotion that
reaches the mind. The mental sensory is connected with a celestial cord
whose end merges to the five aggregates or the five khanda at the origin of element
or dhatu and essence or dhamma. The connecting cord of manayatana is
different from other sensations because it does not reach the brain like the
five other cords.
Chapter 12: The Six External Sensation Channels
(Ayatana)
The internal sensation channels are the eyes,
ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Each of them appears to be clear, clean,
pure, and rounded, resting within the five aggregates or the five khanda as
follows:
The first layer is form or rupa. The second inward
layer is vedana. The third inward layer is sanna. The fourth inward layer is
sanghara. The fifth inward layer is vinnana. The sixth inward layer is the eye.
The seventh inward layer is the ear. The eighth inward layer is the nose. The
ninth inward layer is the tongue. The tenth inward layer is the bodily. The
eleventh inward layer is the mind. The aforesaid are at the origin of element
or dhatu and essence or dhamma.
What makes us see? There is a spider web-like
cord which is clear, clean, and pure, merging into the middle of the five
aggregates or the five khanda. This web-like cord splits into two ends reaching
and merging into the left and right eye crystals called the eye sensory.
When the external and internal sensation are contacted, there are tiny clean,
clear, and pure seeds which move along the cords reaching the middle of the eye
sensory to open the sensation channel in order to receive the visionary images.
Then the seeds bring the images back to the five aggregates or the five khanda
located at the middle of element or dhatu and essence or dhamma. After that, it
solely depends on the five aggregates or five khanda to do anything to the
received visionary images.
Likewise, all other sensation channels namely
the ears, nose, tongue, bodily, and the mind, also have the web-like celestial
cords connecting between the middle of the five aggregates or five khanda at
one end and reaching each of the sensation channels at the other ends.
Why do the six internal sensation channels are
impermanent, suffering, and non-self? It is because the fifth body or the
Dhamma body is permanent, blissful, and true-self, so it conveys to the four
prior bodies namely the human body, the celestial body, the rupa-brahma body,
and the arupa-brahma body which are still subject to the influence of the
mental impurities or defilements that they are impermanent, suffering, and
non-self.
The eyes are attraction or ayatana. This is
because they are where the visionary images are formed. The visionary images
are formed at the eyes because the eyes have to concentrate at the visionary
images. This function is called ‘cakkayatana’ and ‘rupayatana’ which contact
each other. We can compare this process to the two goats running to smash each
other. Then, the visionary images are drawn into the eyes’ celestial cords and
carried towards the five aggregates or the five khanda for further response.
The other sensation channels namely the ears,
nose, tongue, body, and mind are in the same manner. Likewise, the three
worldly nature or Trilakshna is contemplated.
Chapter 13: The Eighteen Elements
The eighteen elements rest within the six
internal sensation channels. From the twelfth inward layer to the twenty ninth
inward layer, they rest within each other respectively. The vision element or
cakkhudhatu is the seeing element. It is clear, clean, pure, white, and
rounded. Its function is for seeing images. When the imagery elements contact
the vision sensory, the vinnanadhatu which is clear, clean, pure, white, and
rounded, which rests in the middle of the five aggregates or the five khanda at
the origin of element or dhatu and essence or dhamma, will rise and move along
the celestial cord to carry the images from the gate which is vision sensory
channel towards the middle of the five aggregates or the five khanda located at
the origin of element or dhatu and essence or dhamma. Thereafter, it will be
the responsibility of the five aggregates or five khanda to do anything with
the received images.
Similar to the case of vision element or
cakkhudhatu, the rupadhatu or elemental images, and the vinnanadhatu, all other
fifteen elements are in the same manner, but their appearances can be different
somehow as mentioned earlier in chapter 11.
Chapter 14: The Twenty Two Domination or Indriya
The twenty two dominations rest inwardly within the eighteen elements
respectively, from the thirtieth to the fifty first inward
layers. Cakkhundri is the domination of seeing. Sotindri is the
domination of hearing. Gandindri is the domination of smelling. Jivindri is the
domination of tasting. Kayindri is the domination of touching. The five
aforesaid appear to be clear, clean, pure, and rounded, resting within the five
aggregates or five khanda located at the origin of element or dhatu and essence
or dhamma. Manindri is the domination of mind. Its appearance is
clean, clear, pure, and rounded, resting within the five aggregates or five
khanda located at the origin of element or dhatu and essence or
dhamma. Itthindri or the domination of femininity and purisindri or
the domination of masculinity, both are clean, clear, pure, and rounded resting
within the layers of domination or indriya, in the middle of the five
aggregates or five khanda located at the origin of elements or dhatu and
essence or dhamma. For female, the sphere is clean, clear, and pure, and it
vibrates slowly and gently, approximately 50 times per minute. For male, the
sphere is clean, clear, and pure, and it vibrates more quickly and strongly,
approximately 100 times per minute.
Jeevitindri is the domination of living, it appearance is clear, clean, pure,
and rounded, resting inside the purisindri within the middle of the five
aggregates or five khanda located at the origin of the elment or dhatu and
essence or dhamma. The function of jeevitindri is to maintain ‘the living’ of
every part of our body. When the living becomes over, all parts of our body
will consequently become ‘non-living.’
Sukhindri is the domination of happiness. It appears to be a clean, clear,
pure, and rounded sphere, resting within the jeevitindri, from layer to layer
respectively, in the middle of the five aggregates at the origin of element and
essence.
Dhukkindri is the domination of suffering. It appears to be an
unclear, gloomy, dark, and rounded sphere, resting within the sukhindri,
from layer to layer respectively, in the middle of the five aggregates at the
origin of element and essence.
Somanassindri is the domination of delightfulness, it is clean, clear, pure,
and rounded, resting within the dhukkindri, from layer to layer respectively,
in the middle of the five aggregates at the origin of element and essence.
Dhomanassindri is the domination of sorrowfulness, its appearance is unclear,
gloomy, dark, and rounded, resting within the somanassindri, from layer to
layer respectively, in the middle of the five aggregates at the origin of
element and essence.
Upekhindri is the domination of equanimity. This sphere is of clearly pure grey
color and rounded. It rests within dhomanassindri, from layer to layer
respectively, in the middle of the five aggregates at the origin of element and
essence.
Saddhindri is the domination of belief. Viriyindri is the domination of
perseverance. Satindri is the domination of mindfulness. Samadhindri is the
domination of mental calm. All of the aforesaid four dominations have similar
appearance which is clear, clean, pure, and rounded, resting within upekhindri
respectively from layer to layer.
Pannindri is the domination of wisdom. Its appearance is clean, clear, pure,
and rounded, having bright radiance like a star. This sphere rests within the
samadhindri respectively from layer to layer, in the middle of the five
aggregates at the origin of element and essence.
Ananyatanyassamitindri is the domination of ‘knowing what is unknown.’ This
means the domination of the path or magga of Sotapanna Sainthood. Anyindri is
the domination of the acquired knowledge from Sotapanna phala or fruition,
Sagitagamimagga (the path or magga of Sagitagami Sainthood), Sagitagamiphala
(the fruition or phala of Sagitagami Sainthood), Anagamimagga (the path or
magga of Anagami Sainthood), Anagamiphala (the fruition or phala of Anagami
Sainthood), and Arahattamagga (the path or magga of Arahat Sainthood).
Anyatavindri is the domination of known [or enlightened] knowledge. This is the
indriya of Arahatphala or the fruition of Arahat Sainthood. All of the eight
aforesaid appear to be clean, clear, pure, rounded, and bright like shining
stars. They rest within the middle of pannindri, from layer to layer
respectively, ranging from the Sotamagga to the Arahatphala. The inner or
higher levels of Sainthood are clearer and brighter than the lower ones. All of
them are in the middle of the five aggregates or khanda located at the origin
of element or dhatu and essence or dhamma.
Chapter 15: The Four Noble Truth
The four noble
truth comprises of the nature of suffering (dukkha), the nature of cause of
suffering (samudaya), the nature of cessation of suffering (nirodha), and the
nature of the path that heads toward cessation of suffering (magga).
Dukkha is the
result caused by Samudaya
Nirodha is the
result caused by Magga
(A) Dukkha or
suffering appears to be the rounded gloomy and dark sphere. A single
dukkha sphere comprises of four respective layers namely the perception, the
remembrance, the thought, and the cognition. It can be expanded into the
less-refined components as the physical body, the heart, the mind sphere or
citta, and the vinnana sphere, all of the four belong to the human body and
rest within the middle of Anyatavindri sphere (the Arahatphala sphere or the
sphere of Arahat Sainthood fruition) which is located in the middle of the five
aggregates or five khanda at the origin of element and essence.
The nature of
suffering or dukkha can be divided into four levels namely suffering from
birth, suffering from aging, suffering from illness, and suffering from
death. The suffering from birth or Jatidukkha and the suffering from
aging or Jaratidukkha are the sufferings of the physical body or Kayidukkha
whereas the suffering from illness or Bhayatidukkha and suffering from death or
Moranadukkha are suffering of the mind called Cetasikadukkha.
(B) The cause
of suffering or samudaya appears to be a gloomy and rounded dark sphere which
can be divided into four layers namely the perception, the remembrance, the
thought, and the cognition. These four can be expanded into the less
refined components as the body, the heart, the mental sphere or citta, and the
vinnana sphere. All of them belong to the celestial body. The
samudaya sphere rests within the middle of the suffering sphere.
(C) The
nature of suffering cessation or Nirodha appears to be the clear, clean, and
pure rounded sphere. It comprises of four respective layers namely the
perception, the remembrance, the thought, and the cognition. All of the
four can be expanded into the less refined components as the body, the heart,
the mental sphere or citta, and the vinnana sphere.
Suffering or dukkha
and cause of suffering or samudaya are available in the four bodies. The
unrefined dukkha is available in the physical body. The refined suffering
is available in the celestial body. The unrefined samudaya is available
in the rupa-brahma body and the refined samudaya is available in the
arupa-brahma body. Thus, all of the four bodies fall under the Three
Mundane Nature or Trilakshna namely impermanence, sufferingful, and
non-self. So they are named ‘the mundane bodies’ which are not the noble
who are capable of the supramundane.
(D)
The path towards cessation of suffering or magga appears to
be a rounded clear, clean, and pure sphere which is superior to those of the
nirodha sphere or the sphere of cessation. The magga sphere comprises of
four respective layers namely the perception, the remembrance, the thought, and
the cognition. The four can be expanded to be the less-refined level as
the body, the heart, the mental sphere or citta, and the vinnana sphere, which
belong to the Dhamma body or Dhammakaya.
Magga rests within
the middle of the nirodha located in the middle of the five aggregates or five
khanda at the origin of element and essence whereas the body is, or the Buddha
gem, the heart is Dhammarattana or the Dhamma gem, the mind or citta is
Sangharattana or the Sangha gem, and vinnana sphere is the nanarattana [or the
sphere of insight].
The five bodies
have rested within each other so far according to the Four Noble Truth
mentioned earlier. The suffering is the external human body, the
unrefined samudaya is the celestial body who rests inside the human body.
The refined samudaya is the rupa-brahma body who rests inside the celestial
body. The extinguishment of refined samudaya is the nirodha or
cessation. Magga is the Dhamma body or Dhammakaya who rests within the
arupa-brahma body. The layers of these five bodies rest in the middle of
the five aggregates or five khanda located at the origin of element and essence
in compliance to the order of the inner Four Noble Truth. As such, the
unrefined external bodies are of layers similar to the pattern of the internal
immaterial bodies.
Suffering or
Dukkha: the whole mass of human body is suffering in three phases.
Firstly or primarily, human body was born with the sphere of suffering
nature resting within the Annatavidri sphere. The sphere of suffering
nature can be divided into four layers resting within each other.
Secondly or secondarily, when the human body was first [sexually]
initiated as the origin of element and essence, its size was as tiny as the
sesame oil at the tip of a yak’s hair which has been flicked for seven times by
a strong man. Such was born with the chunk of suffering which comprises
of four layers. Thirdly or finally, the human body which grows up since
the initiation is made possible with four chunks of suffering namely the
suffering of body, the suffering of mind, the suffering of citta,
and the suffering ofvinnana.
Samudaya: the
celestial body solely causes sufferings in three phases. Firstly or
primarily, the celestial body was born with the samudaya sphere which is the
cause of suffering. This sphere rests within the middle of suffering
sphere. The samudaya sphere can be divided into four layers resting
within each other. They are the body, the heart mass, the citta sphere,
and the vinnana sphere. Secondly or secondarily, when the celestial body
was first initiated as the origin of element and essence, it was made possible
by the cause of suffering. Thirdly or finally, the celestial body which
grows up since its birth initiation, it carries on the cause of suffering
respectively. Thus, it grows up with the four chunks of samudaya which
are the body as samudaya, the heart as samudaya, the citta as samudaya, and the
vinnana as samudaya.
Nirodha: the
rupa-brahma body is the causation of the celestial body. The celestial
body, is thus, the result. The rupa-brahma body is the cause of results
in three phases. Firstly or primarily, the rup-brahma body was born with
a clean, clear, and pure nirodha sphere which causes the samudaya of the
celestial body as the result. It rests within the samudaya sphere.
The aforesaid nirodha sphere can be divided into four layers resting within
each other. They are the body, the heart mass, the citta sphere, and the
vinnana sphere. Secondly or secondarily, when the rupa-brahma body was
first initiated to be the origin of element and essence, it was the cause that
gave rise to the origination of samudaya of the celestial body. Thirdly
or finally, since the rupa-brahma body was initiated, it has been the cause of
samudaya of the celestial body since then. It, then, grows with the four
chunks of nirodha which are the body as nirodha, the heart mass as nirodha, the
citta sphere as nirodha, and the vinnana sphere as nirodha.
Then, contemplate
on those bodies under the Three Mundane Natures:
The bodies for
contemplation are the human body, the celestial body, the rupa-brahma body, and
the arupa-brahma body. These four bodies fall under the state of
impermanence, sufferingfulness, and non-self, because they belong to the
mundane spheres which are influenced by the mental impurities or defilement
that bind them to the worldly, not the supra-mundane. So, they fall under
the impermanence, sufferingfulness, and non-self.
On the contrary,
the Dhamma body or Dhammakaya and the more refined bodies onward, each of them
is noble and liberated from the worldly. They have no defilement or
mental impurity. Thus, they fall under the permanence, blissfulness, and
true self, and they can truly be liberated from the worldly.
Why do human body
suffer? It is because of attachment that occurs when one cling to the
five aggregates that they do belong to oneself. Therefore, it is
said rupupada- nakkhandho, vedanupanakkhandho,
sannupada- nakkhandho, sankharupadanakkhandho, vinnananupadanakhandho.
These mean that there are perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition
of the form or rupa. There are perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition of vedana. There are perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition of sanghara. There are perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition of the vinnana. Consequently, attachment is sufferingful, or
the five aggregates themselves are suffering, or the perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition are suffering.
The perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition, all of the four, are sufferings
themselves. To explain, the perception, thought, remembrance, and cognition,
when they arise, continue, and remain, they rely on samudaya which means that
the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition, are sufferings themselves,
resting as the outer layer whereas the samudaya is the inner layer resting
within, whose function is to enable the outer layer to continue and remain in
the middle of the five aggregates or five khanda. This is comparable to a
shelter for living where the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition
are residents of such shelter. For attachment which causes one clings to
the five aggregates or five khanda, it makes the residents believe that
the shelter belongs to them. When there is a happening to the five
aggregates or five khanda is the shelter, the residents namely the perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition, are affected. Simply speaking, the
suffering occurs immediately because of the attachment which makes them believe
that the shelter belongs to them. This causes suffering. However,
the suffering is just realized without the cessation of suffering. One
can only realize that it is suffering. In order to cease suffering, one
has to eliminate samudaya first. Then, the suffering will cease.
This is because the suffering relies on the causal samudaya to exist, continue,
and remain. The suffering is the outer layer where the samudaya or cause
of suffering is the inner layer. The outer layer can continue on only
with the inner layer that maintains it. If the inner layer ceases, the
outer layer which acts like a shell will consequently cease.
Therefore, it is necessary to cease samudaya before we can cease
suffering.
The immaterial
suffering sphere comprises of four layers which encrust the samudaya sphere,
located in the middle of the five aggregates or five khanda, at the life seed
or origin of element and essence. The suffering sphere can be expanded
into the medium level of refinement which becomes the initiation of the origin
of four parts of the human body namely the body, the heart mass, the citta
sphere, and the vinnana sphere. All of the four are nothing but the
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition.
The immaterial
suffering sphere within the origin can be expanded into the final level of
refinement which becomes the sizable body which can grow since birth from the
mother’s womb. It becomes a human body in four levels namely the
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition, when expanding further to be
the body, the heart mass, the citta sphere, and the vinnana sphere. The
primary immaterial samudaya is a rounded sphere which can be divided into four
layers resting within the suffering sphere located in the middle of the five
aggregates or five khanda at the origin of element and essence.
The primary
immaterial samudaya is a sphere of four layers resting within the suffering
sphere located in the middle of the five aggregates or five khanda at the
origin of element and essence.
The aforesaid four
layers of immaterial samudaya can be expanded into the four medium refinement
levels to be the birth initiation of the origin of element and essence of the
celestial body. The four levels are nothing but the perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition. The perception becomes the
body. The remembrance becomes the heart chunk. The thought becomes
the citta sphere. The cognition becomes the cognition sphere.
The four layers of
immaterial samudaya sphere can be expanded and become the end material body
which can grow up since birth initiation and become the four layers of the
celestial body namely the perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition. The perception becomes the body. The remembrance becomes
the heart mass. The thought becomes the citta sphere. The cognition
becomes the vinnana sphere.
Notwithstanding,
the sight, taste, smell, sound, feeling, and emotion are immaterial because
they arise and cease, leaving behind only the appreciation or depreciation.
For craving which
makes one eager to strive or struggle, it is called craving. This
includes the desire for the sensual material and immaterial that have not been
fulfilled as well as the indulgence into the sensual material and immaterial
that have been acquired. These can be categorized as sensual craving.
Moreover, there is sensual desire which is the demand to have and the
demand to be this and that. In addition, the undesirable means the demand
not to lose whatever one already acquired.
The aforesaid three
things are available in the mass of celestial body. Thus, they cause the
celestial sight, sound, smell, taste, feeling, and emotion, full of craving
which makes one indulges into delightfulness.
-
Suffering: when the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition
of the celestial body become the craving themselves and become the causes, the
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition of the human body turn to be
suffering as well as the results. When one is to cease suffering, one has
to cease the samudaya of the celestial body which rests within the suffering
sphere. Then, the suffering sphere whose function is like a shell will
consequently cease.
- Samudaya is
the celestial body. It is the cause of suffering which is human
body. The human body is the result.
- Nirodha is
the rupa-brahma body. It causes the formation of celestial body.
The celestial body is the result.
When the rupa-brahma
body, which is the cause, ceases, the celestial body which is the result will
consequently cease.
As the celestial
body which is the cause of suffering ceases, the human body which is the result
will also cease.
Magga is the Dhamma
body: This body makes it possible the four aforesaid bodies to cease
reversely, starting from ceasing the fourth body, following by the ceasing
third body, the second body, and finally the first body. The cessation of
the three bodies is in three phases. Firstly or primarily, the Dhamma
body arises with the clean and clear magga sphere which rests within nirodha
sphere. The sphere can be divided into four layers namely the body, the
heart mass, the citta sphere, and the vinnana sphere. It can cease the
rupa-brahma body as a nirodha or cessation. Secondly or secondarily, the
birth initiation of Dhamma body as the origin of element and essence, is the
cause for ceasing the rupa-brahma body as nirodha or cessation. Thirdly
or finally, the birth initiation of Dhamma body is the cause that cease the
rupa-brahma body, as nirodha, so on respectively. Then, it grows with the
four chunks of magga which are the body as magga, the heart mass as magga, the
citta sphere is magga, and the vinnana sphere is magga. The omniscience
over dukkha or the nature of suffering is truly suffering, samudaya or the
nature of cause of suffering is truly the cause of suffering, nirodha or the
nature of cessation is truly the cessation of suffering, and magga or the
nature of the path of suffering cessation is truly the practice that leads to
suffering cessation, is called saccanana or the insight over
the Four Noble Truths.
The nature of
suffering is something one should be aware of. The nature of cause of
suffering is something one should eliminate. The nature of cessation is
something one should enlighten and achieve. The nature of the path of
suffering cessation is something one should prosper in multiplication.
The realization over the Four Noble Truths like this is called kiccanana or
the insight over the duties towards the Four Noble Truths.
The nature of
suffering which one already realized that it is suffering, the nature of cause
of suffering which one already eliminated, the nature of cessation of suffering
which one already achieved, and the nature of the path of suffering cessation
which one already prospered, completed, and known over the Four Noble Truths,
all of these are called gatanana or the insight over the
completed duties.
The Four Noble
Truths can be accounted as the three rounds that comprise of twelve
compositions. This means that each of the Four Noble Truths can have
insight over the three namely (1) saccanana (2) kiccanana, and (3) gatanana,
whereas each of them has 4 [Noble Truths]. Thus, it is the equivalent of
12 compositions.
- Dukkha
Sacca or the nature of suffering has human body is the end result.
Samudaya Sacca or the nature of cause of suffering has the celestial body as
the cause.
- Samudaya
Sacca or the nature of cause of suffering has the celestial body is the
result. Nirodha Sacca or the nature of the cessation of suffering has the
brahma body as the cause.
- Nirodha
Sacca or the nature of cessation of suffering has the brahma body as the
result. Magga Sacca or the nature of the path of suffering cessation has
the Dhamma body as the cause.
- Magga Sacca
or the nature of the path of suffering cessation has the Dhamma body as the
result whereas the refined Dhamma body is the cause.
As we eliminate the
causal bodies, the resulting bodies will cease. This means that when we
remove the refined Dhamma body, the Dhamma body will cease.
When we remove the
Dhamma body, the arupa-brahma body which is the result will cease.
When we remove the
arupa-brahma body which is the cause of the rupa-brahma body, the rupa-brahma
body will cease.
When we remove the
rupa-brahma body which is the cause of the celestial body, the celestial body
which is the result will cease.
When we remove the
celestial body which is the cause of the human body, the human body which is
the result will cease, accordingly.
Chapter 16: Perception, Remembrance, Thought, and Cognition
Perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition are significant for all bodies because
everything can be achieved with perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition.
Every single body
has eyes, nose, ears, tongue, body, and mind, as well as perception,
remembrance, thought, cognition, and the center of the body. The
origin of element and essence of these are in-line since the crystal-clear
sphere was established within the middle of original origin of element and
essence similarly in all bodies. Therefore, when they are expanded to the
external to become the establishment origination or the growth of physical
body, the perception, remembrance, thought, cognition, eyes, ears, nose,
tongue, body, mind, the center of body, and the location of the origin of
element and essence must be in-line according to the core of element and
essence formation which pre-existed at the middle of the origin of element and
essence in the same manner to all bodies.
Every single body
comprises of the five aggregates or five khanda, perception, remembrance,
thought, cognition, the twelve attractions or ayatana, the eighteen elements or
dhatu, and the twenty two dominations or indriya. These are the same to the
human body. Throughout the crudest to the most refined of the five
bodies, every single one of them has the aforesaid components similar to the
human body.
The four things
namely perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition, are blended within
every single mental sphere with no exception. Each mental sphere contains
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition within. Other conditions
also contain the blend of perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition,
similar to the citta or mind. This means that in term of the five
aggregates or khanda, the form or rupa has perception, remembrance, thought,
and cognition. Vedana also has perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition. Similarly, sanna has perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition. Sanghara also has perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition. Also, vinnana has perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition.
Each sphere of the
six internal attractions and the six external attractions or ayatana also has
the blend of perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition. Likewise,
the eighteen elements or dhatu, the twenty two dominations or indriya, and the Four
Noble Truths which belong to the five bodies or other bodies from the crudest
to the most refined of the five bodies, they also have the blend of perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition, with no exception. So, the four
namely perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition are crucial. They
are blended to all conditions and every single moment of the mind with no
exception. To attain enlightenment and achieve the path or magga and
fruition or phala, it is possible with perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition. The mind can be crude or refined, or the crudest and the most
refined state can be achieved, they are possible with the perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition.
The perception
element itself also contains the blend of remembrance element, thought element,
and cognition element. The remembrance element itself also contains the
blend of perception element, thought element, and cognition element. The
thought element also contains the blend of perception element, remembrance
element, and the cognition element. The cognition element also contains
the blend of perception element, remembrance element, and the thought element,
in the same manner.
Please be mindful
that the four namely perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition are the
important factors contributing to achievement in mental calm or samatha and
insight or vipassana practice. They can train the mind or citta to be
clean and pure. Citta or the mind can turn clear or gloomy, wholesome or
unwholesome, these are due to the perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition. Citta or the mind can become still and calmly focused because
of the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition. These are their
very significance!
Chapter 17: The Origin of Element and Essence
The origin of
element and essence and the five aggregates or the five khanda are
different. The origin of element and essence is the original seed that
pre-existed prior to the formation of five aggregates or five khanda. We
can compare it to a seed of a Bodhi or banyan tree that grows to be a trunk
whereas the same seed roots down into the ground forming rhizomes and roots in
order to draw nutrients, bringing the six elements from below to nourish the
trunk. For the upper part, the trunk stems into branches and leaves for
breathing and drawing the six elements to nourish the trunk. This is how
a Bodhi or banyan tree grow up. Likewise, the origin of element and
essence and the five aggregates or five khanda are in the same manner.
The origin of element
and essence is originally located at the sixth base which is in the middle of
our body at the navel level. It is a clean crystal clear sphere as tiny
as the tip of a needle or a Bodhi or banyan seed. It is the seed that
pre-existed prior to the birth initiation as the original element and essence.
This is the immaterial primary part. Secondarily, the origin of element
and essence can be expanded to become the less refined components in the form
of a clean and pure crystal clear sphere covering the outer layer of the more
refined origin of element and essence. It is the secondary less refined
sphere that engages in the birth initiation that forms the five aggregates or
five khanda as well as the human body. Starting from the size of sesame
oil at the tip of a yak’s hair flicked for seven times by a strong man, it
forms an embryo. Within the sphere, there are four layers resting within
namely the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition, which become the
body, the heart mass, the citta sphere, and the vinnana sphere. Since the
birth initiation, it develops into the five aggregates or five khanda, the six
sensations or ayatana, and the thirty two organs, until completion.
The aforesaid
sphere of origin of element and essence can be expanded to become the final
state or the less refined components as a clean and pure crystal clear sphere
covering the secondary sphere. It develops to be the physical body that
grows and ages. Within this outermost sphere, there are four layers
resting inside namely the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition,
which become the body, the heart mass, the citta sphere, and the vinnana
sphere, having the complete thirty two organs.
The origin of
element and essence of the celestial body, rupa-brahma body, and arupa-brahma
body, are also in the form of clean and pure crystal clear sphere, resting
within the human body respectively from layer to layer. All of them
similarly have the sixth base in the middle of their body which are in-line.
Each of the body has three bases alike namely the primary base, the
secondary base, and final base. This is the same to the human body as
explained earlier. For the crudest to the most refined body of the five
bodies, they also have the three bases resting within each other similar to the
human body. The four bodies fall under the impermanence,
sufferingfulness, and non-self, whereas the final body or the Dhamma body
belongs to the supramundane which has the quality of permanence, blissfulness,
and true-self.
Perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition, all of these four, are the ‘mental’ or nama whereas the
location of perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition, is the ‘form’ or
rupa. So, we conclude them as the one form or rupa and the four mental or
nama which are available in all bodies. To clarify, perception is vedana,
remembrance is sanna, thought is sanghara, and cognition is vinnana.
The term ‘origin of
element and essence’ means the original birth come-about. From entering
the father’s body at the sixth base of mind (sib) and reaching the seventh base
of mind (soon) where one can insightfully see a sphere as large as an egg yolk,
the origin of element and essence is a clean and pure crystal clear sphere
arising when entering the father’s abdomen. When the father’s four mental
which are perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition, the mother’s four
mental, and the newborn’s four mental, are firmly concentrated to become one,
the newborn’s origin of element and essence will be drawn from the father’s
abdomen towards the mother’s womb. Then, it is merged to the newborn’s
initiation where the embryo develops. It is as small as the sesame oil on
the tip of a yak’s hair which is flicked by a strong man for seven times.
The immaterial origin of element and essence has four layers resting within
each other. The birth initiation is also called the less-refined human
birth initiation which is the outer sphere having four layers whose centers are
at the same point. This sphere develops the birth initiation within the
mother’s womb further. Such human birth sphere can be expanded to become
the less-refined components as the final phase in the form of another outer
crystal clear sphere having four spherical layers whose centers are at the same
point as the first and the second sphere of layers. The final phase is
for the physical body to grow and age until passing away.
Chapter 18: Entering the Nirvana within Human Body with
the Dhamma Body
In order to enter
the Nirvana within our human body, allow the Dhamma body to deepen into
meditative absorption or jhana samapatti for seven rounds. After the
seventh round, the Dhamma body will be unlocked from the sixth base of mind and
relocked at the seventh base of mind. After the locking, one can
insightfully see a sphere as large as an egg yolk, when one sees it with less
refined insight. If one sees it with a more refined insight, one can see
it as tiny as the sesame oil at the tip of a yak’s hair which is flicked for
seven times by a strong man. The sphere is clean, pure, rounded, and
crystal clear. The center of Dhammakaya or Dhamma body is grounded on thenevasaññānāsaññāyatana
samapatti.
Thereafter, the
spherical, clean, pure, and crystal clear center of the Nirvana, which exists
within the middle of the human body’s origin of element and essence, promptly
draws the Dhammakaya or Dhamma body which is grounded on the nevasaññānāsaññāyatana
samapatti to rest within the center of such Nirvana. The approach of
resting at the center can be either proceeding from above to center, left to
center, right to center, front to center, or back to center. This is
because the center of the Dhammakaya or Dhamma body and the center of the
Nirvana are similarly spherical. The spherical forms can merge each other
from any direction.
When the center of
Dhammakaya or Dhamma body and the center of the Nirvana merge, the another
Dhammakaya arises immediately, not before or after, no sooner and no
later. Once the another Dhammakaya arises, allow the Dhammakaya’s eyes to
insightfully investigate around. Then, one can see that the Nirvana
within the origin of element and essence is a large and empty realm where there
is only refined, clean, pure, and vast spaciousness. One can feel
delightful, cool, and deeply peaceful. This is to have the Nirvana
as one’s emotion which is different from the state prior to entering
the Nirvana, and the Dhammakaya will become even clearer, cleaner, purer, and
better than before.
To explain the Nirvana: the Nirvana also has the
infinite range between the crudest to the most refinement.
At the center of the Nirvana realm, there is the Nirvana’s
center in the middle of every Nirvana realm which makes it possible for the
Dhammakaya to enter the Nirvana realm. This is similar to every single
body that has the origin of element and essence which makes it possible for
initiation. The Dhammakaya(s) who reside in the deeper Nirvana realm are
more sublime, refined, clean, pure, and peaceful, even further. The
deeper of the Nirvana realm, the brighter and more refined of spacious
atmosphere. The deeper of the Nirvana realm, the larger size of one’s
Dhammakaya which enlarges further.
Therefore, after
one enters the Nirvana, allow one’s Dhammakaya to enter the meditative
absorption or jhana samapatti for seven rounds until the Dhammakaya is unlocked
and relocked, and the Dhammakaya will be grounded on the meditative absorption
or jhana samapatti at the level ofnevasaññānāsaññāyatana. Then, the center of
the second Nirvana realm will draw one’s Dhammakaya into the center of the
second Nirvana realm. The Dhammakaya will rearise as Dhammakaya in the
aforesaid second Nirvana.
Then, allow the
Dhammakaya to proceed into meditative absorption or jhana samapatti in the
second Nirvana further, after seven rounds of meditative absorption or jhana
samapatti, the Dhammakaya will be unlocked and relocked. The center of the
third Nirvana realm will promptly draw the center of such Dhammakaya into the center
of the third Nirvana realm. The Dhammakaya will rearise as the Dhammakaya
in the third Nirvana realm.
Hence, take the
third Nirvana realm to proceed into the meditative absorption or jhana
samapatti further for seven rounds without regression, the Dhammakaya will be
unlocked and relocked, and the fourth Nirvana realm will quickly draw the
Dhammakaya to the center of the fourth Nirvana realm where the Dhammakaya
rearises.
As such, allow the
Dhammakaya in the fourth Nirvana realm to proceed into meditative absorption or
jhana samapatti for seven rounds without regression. The Dhammakaya will
be unlocked and relocked whereas the center of the fifth Nirvana will draw the
center of such Dhammakaya towards the center of the fifth Nirvana. The Dhammakaya
will rearise as the Dhammakaya in the fifth Nirvana realm.
Thus, allow the
Dhammakaya in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, one hundredth,
one thousandth, ten-thousandth, one hundred thousandth, one millionth, and ten
millionth Nirvana to proceed into the eight meditative absorptions or jhana
samapatti for seven rounds without regression, the Dhammakaya will be unlocked,
and the center of the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, one hundredth, one
thousandth, ten thousandth, one hundred thousandth, one millionth, and ten
millionth Nirvana will draw the centers of the Dhammakaya(s) to enter the
center of the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, one hundredth, one
thousandth, ten thousandth, one hundred thousandth, one millionth, and ten
millionth Nirvana, allowing the Dhammakaya(s) to rearise in the sixth, seventh,
eighth, ninth, tenth, one hundredth, one thousandth, ten thousandth, one
hundred thousandth, one millionth, and ten millionth Nirvana realm respectively
and infinitely. The Nirvana like this is termed ‘the living
Nirvana’ within the human body.
Chapter 19: Entering the Nirvana with Human Body
This is to allow
our human body to enter the ‘living Nirvana’ within ourselves.
The method is
similar to entering the Nirvana with Dhammakaya as mentioned in the previous
chapter. The difference is that the preceding method is to enter the
Nirvana with the Dhammakaya, but this chapter explains how to enter the Nirvana
with one’s human body because our human body is mighty and has more power than
the Dhamma body. Unlike the Buddha body, our human body does not break
down when it is exploded [in the immaterial realms]. In the ancient time,
one can enter the Nirvana realm with one’s human body. When the human
body aged, it became clearer and cleaner. Then, one can enter the Nirvana
realm with the crystal clear living human body. Later on, the evil
mara(s) did not want humans to enter the Nirvana with their human bodies
because the human bodies who were capable of entering the Nirvana alive were so
mighty. Thus, the evil mara(s) prevented this. As a consequence,
the Lord Buddhas of the later days who already attained enlightenment had to
disembody their human bodies prior to entering the Nirvana. The Lord
Buddha(s) who disembody their human bodies to enter the Nirvana like this can
be compared to a hermit crab who leave his shell. As residents of the
Nirvana, they are not so mighty like the Buddhas who entered the Nirvana with
their living human bodies because the human bodies are of greater strength.
The method for
allowing our meditating human body to enter the Nirvana starts from settling
the primary path sphere or patthamamagga. Then, focus at the sphere until
there arise the celestial body, the rupa-brahma body, the arupa-brahma body,
the Dhamma body, the more refined Dhamma body, and the bodies throughout the
crudest to the most refinement. Then, we make all of the bodies
throughout the crudest to the most refinement downsize and fit inside our
single human body. Turn them to be crystal clear and proceed into
meditative absorption or jhana samapatti for seven rounds until the human body
is pure, clear, and clean. Then, the human body will be unlocked from the
sixth base and relocked to the seventh base in the middle of the human body.
As such, the center of the Nirvana which pre-existed in the middle of
origination will draw the center of the human body to enter the center of the
Nirvana.
When the center of
the human body’s origination merges to the center of the Nirvana, the human
body rearises in the Nirvana immediately, no sooner or later, not before or
after, within the middle of every Nirvana, which has the center of Nirvana
realm in the middle all alike as mentioned earlier in the previous chapter on
entering the Nirvana with Dhammakaya.
Once the human body
enters the Nirvana, allow the body to proceed into meditative absorption or
jhana samapatti in the Nirvana for seven rounds. Upon completion, the
crystal clear supernormal human body will be unlocked from the sixth base of
mind and relocked to the seventh base of mind, and the center of the second
Nirvana will draw the center of human body to enter the center of the second
Nirvana. Thus, there arises the human body in the second Nirvana.
Hence, allow the
supernormal human body in the second Nirvana to proceed into meditative
absorption or jhana samapatti for seven rounds, and the supernormal human body
will be unlocked from the sixth base of mind and relocked at the seventh base
of mind. The center of the third Nirvana will draw the center of the
origination of the human body to the third Nirvana. The human body will
rearise in the third Nirvana. Allow the crystal clear human body to
proceed into meditative absorption or jhana samapatti to enter the Nirvana
within the Nirvana repeatedly, respectively, and infinitely, in the same manner
as the aforesaid in the previous chapter about entering the Nirvana with
Dhammakaya. The only difference is that one enters the Nirvana with one’s
supernormal human body. The rest is similar to the Dhammakaya who enters
the Nirvana. The term supernormal human body means that throughout the
crudest to the most refined bodies, all of them are downsized to fit into one’s
single human body which turns crystal clear and considerably mighty.
Chapter 20: Entering the Non-Living Nirvana
The non-living
Nirvana realm is the residence of Lord Buddhas and the fully enlightened Arahat
saints.
The Nirvana realm
within oneself is called the ‘living Nirvana’ whereas the ‘non-living
Nirvana’realm refers to the residence of Lord Buddhas and the fully
enlightened Arahat saints which is considerably far above the three realms.
To enter this type
of Nirvana, it is similar to the living Nirvana. One can enter with
either the Dhammakaya or the supernormal human body as explained earlier in
chapter 18 and 19. Please read them for consideration, and the author
wishes to explain briefly here.
When entering the
non-living Nirvana with the supernormal human body, one starts from settling
the primary attainment sphere or the pathamamagga. Then, one meditates to
give rise to the celestial body, rupa-brahma body, arupa-brahma body, Dhamma
body, furtherly refined Dhamma body, all other further bodies throughout the
crudest to the most refinement. Then, downsize all of the arisen bodies
throughout the crudest to the most refinement to fit into one’s single human
body. Make them completely pure and clean and proceed into meditative
absorption or jhana samapatti for seven rounds until the human body becomes superbly
crystal clear. Thus, such supernormal human body will be unlocked from
the sixth base and relocked to the seventh base at the center of its
body. The center of the Nirvana which is located in the middle of the
origin of element and essence will draw the center of origination of human body
to enter the center of Nirvana. As a consequence, there arises the
supernormal human body in the Nirvana realm immediately.
Thereafter, allow
the crystal clear supernormal human body, which rearose in the living-Nirvana,
to proceed into meditative absorption or jhana samapatti for seven
rounds. Upon completion, it will be unlocked from the sixth base of mind
and relocked at the seventh base of mind, in the middle of its body.
Thus, the center of the non-living Nirvana will draw such body to rearise in
the non-living Nirvana realm.
Continue to proceed
into meditative absorption or jhana samapatti for additional seven rounds, the
body will be unlocked and relocked to enter the living Nirvana further.
After entering the living Nirvana, proceed into meditative absorption or jhana
samapatti for seven more rounds, and the body will be unlocked, relocked, and
drawn to enter the non-living Nirvana further.
Proceed into
meditative absorption or jhana samapatti for seven additional rounds, the body
will be unlocked and relocked as well as entering the living Nirvana within
oneself again. After rearising in the living Nirvana, proceed into
meditative absorption or jhana samapatti for seven more rounds, the body will
be unlocked, relocked, and drawn to enter the non-living Nirvana realm further.
Enter the living
Nirvana within the human body one more time and enter the non-living Nirvana
for another time. Enter the realms alternately by entering the living
Nirvana first and, then, enter thenon-living Nirvana. Do
this continuously, from the living Nirvana to the non-living
Nirvana, continually and respectively without regression throughout the
crudest to the most refined state. The more repetition and the more refinement
one can do, the better. But it must go hand in hand from entering the living
Nirvana and, then, entering the non-living Nirvana within
such living Nirvana. Enter the non-living Nirvana and enter the living
Nirvana again. Enter the living Nirvana and
enter the non-living Nirvana further in duality. Do like
this continuously and repeatedly, more and more, without regression.
Every single
Nirvana realm has the center of Nirvana. This is the same to both living
Nirvana and non-living Nirvana. Its function is to draw the center of the
origin of element and essence to reincarnate in the Nirvana realm, similar to
the center inside every woman’s womb whose function is to draw the origin of
element and essence to enable the birth.
Chapter
21: Listening to the Lord Buddha’s Sermon in Nirvana
Proceed
into meditative absorption or jhana samapatti with the supernormal human body,
then, enter the living Nirvana and the non-living Nirvana according to the
method described in chapter 20. When entering the non-living Nirvana to
have an audience upon the Lord Buddha, one has to make a wish asking the Lord
Buddhas and the enlightened Arahat saints to identify the Lord Buddha of one’s
era. Once it is known within one’s mind, head towards such Lord Buddha to
have an audience. Then, make wishes for one’s supernormal human body to
multiply, explode, turn into ai, kas, or krod to
melt down the Lord Buddha’s body, but one has to make a wish first that, if
such Lord Buddha body truly belongs to our white and wholesome lineage, the
Lord Buddha body must not be harmed, broken down, and melted down. Make a
wish that if the Lord Buddha body is unreal or he is the disguise of any evil
Buddha or mara, such Lord Buddha body should be exploded and melted down per
[one’s superknowledge power and command of] ai, kas, krod, gin
kao saiv, and kao mak. Then, let the supernormal human
body proceed into meditative absorption or jhana samapatti to enter the living
Nirvana and non-living Nirvana further. After entering the non-living
Nirvana, one should ask for the Lord Buddha again. After meeting the Lord
Buddha, make a wish that if such Lord Buddha truly belongs to the white
wholesome lineage, may the Lord Buddha body remain unexploded. After
making such wish, make the wish for one’s human body to multiply and speed into
the core of such Lord Buddha body and explode. If the Lord Buddha’s body
breaks down, the supernormal human body has to proceed into meditative
absorption or jhana samapatti again to enter the living Nirvana and non-living
Nirvana without regression. Once one enters the non-living Nirvana and
meets the Lord Buddha, one has to make a wish asking if the Lord Buddha is real
or unreal. Then, speed into the core of such Lord Buddha to explode
again. If the Buddha body breaks down, it means that such Lord Buddha
body is unreal and does not belong to our lineage. Hence, enter the
living Nirvana and non-living Nirvana further to do the explosion.
Continue doing this until one meets the Lord Buddha who is crystal clear and
does not break down when one does explosions as well as does not melt down by
[one’s superknowledge command of] ai, krod, kas-krod,
and ingestion, no matter how much one tries. Therefore, one can come to
realize that such Lord Buddha body is real or true. This is how one can
notice. Hence, one can request the true Lord Buddha to deliver a sermon
where one can hear the true voice and true Dhamma. If one cannot hear the
Lord Buddha’s voice, one has to deepen into meditation again and keep up with
the firmness upon the center of the Nirvana within the middle of the origin of
element and essence of one’s human body, in the middle of one’s abdomen where
the center of one’s body beats. One has to remain firm to the center of
the Nirvana; otherwise, one cannot hear the voice due to even a slight
deviation.
Chapter 22: Contemplating on the Dependent Origination
The dependent
origination or paticcasamuppada means the interrelated Dhamma(s) or natures
which form the continual and connected chain of relationship among ignorance
(avijja), karma-formations (sankhara), cognition (vinnana), mind and matter
(nama-rupa), bases of six sense (salayatana), impression (phassa), perception
or feeling (vedana), craving (tanha), attachment (upadana), process of becoming
(bhava), rebirth (jati), aging (jara), death (marana), sorrow (soka),
lamentation (parideva), suffering (dukkha), grief (domanassa), and despair
(upayasa).
Avijja or ignorance
is spherical and gloomy, as small as a Bodhi or banyan seed. It is the
very factor that contributes to the formation of Sankhara.
Sankhara or
karma-formations is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting
within the middle of avijja. It is the very factor that contributes to
the formation of vinnana.
Vinnana or
cognition is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, rresting within
the middle of sankhara. It is the very factor that contributes to the
formation of nama-rupa.
Nama-Rupa or mind
and matter is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting within
the middle of vinnana. It is the very factor that contributes to the
formation of salayatana.
Salayatana or the
bases of six sense is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting
within the middle of nama-rupa. It is the very factor that contributes to
the formation of phassa.
Phassa or
impression is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting within
the middle of salayatana. It is the very factor that contributes to the
formation vedana.
Vedana or
perception is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting within
the middle of phassa. It is the very factor that contributes to the
formation of tanha.
Tanha or craving is
spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting within the middle of
vedana. It is the very factor that contributes to the formation of
upadana.
Upadana or
attachment is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting within
the middle of tanha. It is the very factor that contributes to the
formation of bhava.
Bhava or the
process of becoming is spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting
within upadana. It is the very factor that contributes to jati.
Jati or rebirth is
spherical, clear, clean, pure, and transparent, resting within bhava. It
is the very factor that contributes to the formation of jara, marana, soka,
parideva, dukkha, domanassa, and upayasa.
These Dhamma(s) or
natures are interrelated. They are interconnected to each other enabling
the causations that contribute to one another to form the endless chain.
So, it is termed ‘paticcasamuppada,’ which means giving rise to something due
to the contributing factors that rely on one another. To cease these
Dhamma(s) or natures, one has to start from the very beginning which is
ignorance or avijja. Then, one ceases the following Dhamma(s) or natures,
respectively towards the end which is rebirth or jati. So, the whole
chain will cease.
Chapter 23: Recalling One’s Own and Others’ Past Lifetimes
Avijja means
darkness, blockage, and barrier.
When something is
in darkness such as during nighttime, it makes one feels insecure and afraid of
various harms amidst such darkness. Likewise, one who is conquered by
avijja usually becomes fearful and frightened by harms from birth, aging,
illness, and death. Some of them may be afraid of death, but not birth.
On the contrary,
vijja means brightness. It is opposite to avijja which means
darkness. It is explainable that when one is amidst brightness during
daytime, one is not afraid or frightened of harm and danger. Likewise,
one who already attained the three superknowledges (3 vijja) does not afraid of
the harm from birth, aging, illness, and death. This type of person is
afraid of rebirth, but not death as he or she can head towards the Nirvana.
To recall the past
lifetimes, one has to follow the principle of the three superknowledges (3
vijja) as follows:
(1)
pubbenivasanussati-nana which means the capability to recall
past-lifetimes. To do so, one has to begin from oneself who is in the
posture of sitting, standing, walking, or reclining, and rewind backward
furtherly and respectively. It is to find out where one is from before
one’s present moment. Then, trace back the where-about along one’s
timeline such as one’s adolescence. Recall further where one is from prior to
adolescence, such as childhood. Rewind backward more and more to see where
one is from before childhood, such as being a baby. Trace back where
one’s from before becoming a baby, such as being in the mother’s womb.
Find out where one is from prior to entering the mother’s womb, such as the
initiated birth spirit. Where is one from before the birth
initiation? Then, unify the perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition to remain firmly still in the middle of one’s origin of element and
essence in order to recall one’s past lifetime experiences further.
Starting from the latest lifetime, last lifetime, second last lifetime, until
reaching the hundredth, the thousandth, and so on. Recall to see
what-about in this and that lifetime, when one was born to be like this and
that, having happiness and suffering like this and that, being wealthy or poor
or suffering, like this and that. Recall to learn the happiness and
suffering in each lifetime. To recall others’ lifetimes, we do the same
process.
(2)
Chutupapata-nana means the insight over others’ passing away and
reincarnation. This is to recall the past lifetimes of others similar to
the one who is standing on the river bank and sees someone dives into the river
at one spot and rises at another spot. The recalling of one’s own and
others’ lifetimes is aimed to promote realization that ones have to be in the
cycle of rebirth endlessly, and ones unavoidably face with both suffering in
hell and happiness in heaven. Hence, ones face with the tiresome over
these changes, leaving belongings and wealth, family members such as spouse and
children, roaming along the cycle which is like dreams that trap ones into the
loop. Thus, ones cannot take lives as certain or permanent. This is
the same for oneself as well as others. Thereafter, one should
contemplate on the 10 vipassana-nana to consider oneself and other living
being, repeatedly and in manifold, until one gains Dhamma realization and
tiresomeness over sankhara and rupa-nama. This gives rise to
sankha-rupekkha-nana or the equanimity towards sanghara and the end of interest
over sankhara, wishing to be liberated, similar to a caged bird or a hooked
fish who wishes to be freed. Thus, one can elevate one’s mind towards
purity, cleanliness, and freed from mental impurities. As such, one can
allow one’s mind to enter the stream of:
(3)
Asavakkhaya-nana or the mental capability to eradicate defilements or mental
impurities. One is called khinasavo, an individual who is
defilement-free, which is made possible by contemplation with the first two
insights or nana which are pubbenivasanussati-nana and chutupapata-nana, which
support the eradication of defilements or mental impurities.
Chapter 24: Proving the Elimination of Mental Intoxication
or Asava
There are many
approaches to prove the eliminated mental intoxication as follows:
(1) Taking
into account of the five sensual desires within the human body and question
one’s mind if one still wishes for them. If one still has the wish, it
means that one’s mind still bonds to sensual desires; otherwise, they are
already eliminated.
If the human body
refuses the sensual desires, one has to question the celestial body
further. If both the human body and celestial body refuse sensual
desires, it means that the desires are truly eliminated. However, if
there is still a wish for sensual desires, even a little, one cannot claim that
the mental intoxication is eliminated.
(2) Taking
into account of craving for rebirth or bhavatanha in order to question one’s
own mind if one still wishes to become an important being like an angel, Lord
Indra, Lord Brahma, and monarch. Also, one can question one’s own mind if
one still wishes for wealth, gain, fame, praise, and happiness which one has
not experienced yet. If one still wishes for them, it means that one’s
mind still bonds to craving for becoming or bhavatanha. One must has no
wish for them in order to be mental intoxication free.
(3) Taking
into account of the five delightful sensations and defiled sensuality and ask
oneself if one still wishes keep them, not losing them. Ask oneself if
one still wishes one’s own body and one’s living place to continue to remain as
usual, not aging or deteriorating until disappearing. If one still has
the wish for these to continue to exist or remain as usual, it means that one’s
mind still bonds to the craving for non-becoming or vibhavatanha, and one
cannot claim that the mental intoxication in one’s mind is eliminated.
Chapter 25: The Mental Intoxication or Asava
The single
unification of perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition is crucial when
they become one at the same focal center, not scattering around. It means
that whatever one perceives, one must remember, think, and cognize accordingly,
not differentiated. This is called the one-pointedness of emotions or
ekaggata.
The three mental
intoxications or asava are as follows:
(1) Kamasava or the
fermented trait of living beings that causes them to demand sensuous pleasure.
(2) Bhavasava or the
fermented trait of living beings that causes them to demand for acquiring and
becoming.
(3) Avijjasava or the
fermented trait of living beings that causes them to be amidst the dark
foolishness.
The three asava(s)
are like flavors blended within perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition. Thus, the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition
remain flavored, not insipid. Whenever the asava(s) are filtered out from
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition; thereafter, the perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition, themselves, will become the insipid
asavakkhaya-nana or the mental capability to eradicate defilements or mental
impurities, which no longer gives rise to flavor any further.
All of the mental
defilements or impurities such as attachment or upadana and cause of suffering
or samudaya are the pit where perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition
assemble together. So, we have to solve the perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition in order to extinguish the remaining defilements or
mental impurities. As such, one’s Dhammakaya will become clearer and
expand furthermore across element or dhatu and essence or dhamma, without
downsizing and degrading to become blemished, because one’s mind will be
cheerful like a blooming lotus which is clear and bright consistently.
The contemplation
with pubbenivasanussati-nana or the capability to recall past-lifetimes and
chutupapata-nana or the insight over others’ passing away and reincarnation are
aimed towards the Dhamma realization that promotes tiresomeness over the cycle
of reincarnation. These are called patisankhanupassana and
nibbidanupassana which loosen the defilements or mental impurities within
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition. Then, the perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition become insipid or flavorless. One
will become indifferent and unconcerned towards sanghara. This mental
phenomena is called sangha-rupekkha-nana or the uprooting of defilements or
mental impurities from perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition by ways
of contemplating over the 10 vipassana-nana or insight knowledge. The
asava or mental intoxications can be filtered and removed from perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition resulting them to become insipid or
flavorless, this is, within itself, the asavakkhaya-nana or the mental
capability to eradicate defilements or mental impurities. Please keep
contemplating on the 10 vipassana-nana or insight knowledge, more and more.
Chapter 26: The Embedded Inclination or Anusaya
The embedded
inclination of ignorance or avijjanusaya, the embedded inclination of lust for
sense pleasure or kamaraganusaya, and the embedded inclination of aversion or
patighanusaya enclose one’s perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition.
Avijjanusaya or the embedded inclination of
ignorance is spherical, and it is as small as a pepper seed. This sphere
is very gloomy and dark. However, it turns out to be smoggy and white
like a crystal ball for those who have less defilements or mental impurities.
The thickness is approximately a quarter of a finger’s length. The vinnana sphere
rests within the crust of avijja sphere similar to an egg-yolk which is
enclosed by the white egg.
Kamaraganusaya or the embedded inclination of
lust for sense pleasure is as small as an eye pupil. Its color is blurry,
and it encloses the thought sphere. The thickness is approximately a
quarter of a finger’s length.
Patighanusaya sphere appears to be as big as
a white eyeball. But its color is gloomy and dark, enclosing the
remembrance sphere. The thickness of enclosure is approximately a quarter
of a finger’s length.
According to the
aforesaid, it is to refer to them from the more refined to the less
refined. Simply speaking, it is to refer from the vinnana towards perception which
is from the end to the beginning. If we are to refer to them from the
less refined to the more refined, we have to mention the beginning towards the
end or the perception towards the cognition. This is called the
forwarding order or anuloma instead of what is mentioned earlier which is
backwarding order or patiloma, which is from the end towards the beginning.
So far, one can see
that the enclosure of patighanusaya sphere forms the external layer similar to
a white eyeball, the enclosure of kamaraganusaya sphere forms the middle layer
similar to the eye pupil whereas the enclosure of avijjanusaya sphere forms the
inner layer similar to the eye crystal.
Kamaraganusaya is
the core of patighanusaya, and avijjanusaya is the core of kamaraganusaya,
similar to the eye pupil which is surrounded by the white eyeball whereas the
eye crystal is the in the middle of the eye pupil.
As they are the
cores of each other, the three embedded tendencies or anusaya(s) marinate,
penetrate, and blend each other similar to layers of tissue papers that one
rinses water upon. The tissue papers get wet as water penetrates through
every layer.
Chapter 27: The Origin of Perception, Remembrance,
Thought, Cognition, and the Embedded Inclination or Anusaya
(1) Cognition is
originated from air or akasadhatu. The crude part of cognition itself is
the substance of ignorance or avijja which encloses cognition as the second
outer layer.
(2) Thought;
the third outer layer of cognition itself is the substance of thought.
The fourth outer layer of cognition itself is the substance of the embedded
inclination of lust for sense pleasure orkamaraganusaya which
encloses the thought.
(3) Remembrance;
the fifth cruder and outer layer of cognition itself is the substance of remembrance.
The cruder sixth outer layer of cognition itself is the substance of the
embedded inclination of aversion or patighanusaya which forms
the outer part enclosing thought.
(4) Perception;
the cruder seventh outer layer of cognition itself is the substance of
perception. The cruder eighth layer of cognition itself is the substance
of patighanusaya which forms an external enclosure
layer. The cruder ninth layer of cognition itself is the human body who
encloses the patighanusaya allowing the human body to grow bigger respectively.
Cognition is
originated from the origin of element and essence of each corresponding body,
e.g. the cognition of human body is originated from the origin of element and
essence of human body.
Likewise, in case
of the cognition of celestial body, rupa-brahma body, arupa-brahma body,
Dhammakaya, and all other more refined bodies, their cognitions are originated
from the origin of element and essence of each corresponding body.
However, their cognitions differ in term of clarity, purity, and refinement in
respective manner from the crudest to the most refined body.
Chapter 28: How
to Remove the Embedded Inclination or Anusaya
The three anusaya(s) are avijja, kamaraga, and patigha. We can remove them the crudest to the most
refined body.
The three anusaya(s) enclose perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition by forming the respective cores and layers as mentioned
earlier in chapter 27.
Remove the cognition and enclosure of cognition or
avijja from the human body and insert them into the celestial body. Thus, the cognition and enclosure of
cognition become more refined than when they are within the human body.
Hence, remove the cognition and the enclosure of
cognition or avijja from the celestial body’s encrustment and insert them into
the rupa-brahma body, such cognition and enclosure of cognition will become
cleaner and more refined than when they are within the celestial body.
Remove the cognition and the enclosure of cognition
from the encrustment of rupa-brahma body and insert them into the arupa-brahma
body, the cognition and the enclosure of cognition will become cleaner and more
refined than when they are within the rupa-brahma body. The enclosure of cognition within the
aforesaid three bodies is called ‘the avijja of human body.’ If one has more defilements or mental
impurities, the sphere will be gloomy and dark.
If one has less defilements or mental impurities, the sphere appears to
be smoggy and white. When it is
relocated to the arupa-brahma body, it becomes smoggy but not crystal clear. The four bodies are called ignorance or avijja.
Remove the cognition and enclosure of cognition from
the encrustment of arupa-brahma body and insert them into the Dhamma body. When the cognition and enclosure of cognition
are relocated to the Dhamma body, the aforesaid enclosure or ignorance (avijja)
turns to be knowledge (vijja), the true insight and intuition. As such, the enclosure or vijja becomes
clean, clear, pure, and more refined immediately.
Remove the cognition and enclosure of cognition which
already turned to be knowledge or vijja and insert them into furtherly more
refined bodies, from the crudest to the most refinement of the body with
cognition. Thus, the enclosure of
cognition or vijja will become clean, clear, pure, refined, and flawless even
further, respectively, from the crudest to the most refined.
The method for removing cognition and enclosure of
cognition from the human body as well as all other bodies from the crudest to
the most refined one is the same for removing thought and the enclosure of
thought which is kamaraganusaya. The
removing of perception and remembrance as well as the enclosure of perception
and remembrance which is patighanusaya has the same respective and removal
proceeding similar to the removing of cognition and the enclosure of cognition
which is avijjanusaya.
As long as the kamaraganusaya still exists in
the four primary bodies, it is called ‘presumption’ or ‘sammati.’ However, in the Dhamma body, from the crudest
to the most refined, it is called the ‘liberation against defilements’ or ‘vimutti.’
As long as the patighanusaya still exists in
the four primary bodies, it is called the mundane morality or lokiyasila. From the Dhamma body onward, it is called ariyakantasila
which means the moral discipline or sila which the noble one is fond of. This
is the supramundane morality or lokuttara sila which is also
emancipation or vimokkha. As the four
primary bodies who still associate to the three anusaya, their moral discipline
or sila, mental concentration or samadhi, and wisdom or panna,
as well as all other Dhamma practices still belong to the mundaneness or
lokiya. However, from the Dhamma body,
which is the fifth body, onward, their moral discipline or sila, mental
concentration or samadhi, and wisdom or panna, as well as all
other Dhamma practices, belong to the supramundane or lokuttara, from
the Dhamma body which is the fifth body onward, from the crudest to the most
refined one.
The elimination of patighanusaya is the essence of vinaya
pitaka.
The elimination of kamaraganusaya is the essence of suttanta
pitaka.
The elimination of avijjanusaya is the essence of paramattha
pitaka.
From the Dhamma body onward, they can be classified
into the eight paths or magga as follows:
1.
When the
patighanusaya is eliminated, it becomes ariyakantasila and vimokkha that turns
one’s speech, action, and livelihood to be righteous. These can be accounted as the superb morality
or adhisila which is the true essence of vinaya pitaka.
2.
When the
kamaraganusaya is eliminated, it becomes vimutti that turns one’s effort,
mindfulness, and concentration to be righteous.
These can be accounted as the superb mind or adhicitta which is
the true essence of suttanta pitaka.
3.
When the
avijjanusaya is eliminated, it becomes vijja that turns one’s view and intent
to be righteous. These can be accounted
as the superb wisdom or adhipanna which is the true essence of paramattha
pitaka.
The
preceding is the brief expression; however, it can be clarified further into
details as the 84,000 categories of Dhamma or Dhammakhanda.
To
classify into the eight wrongful paths as follows:
1.
When the patighanusaya arises in any of the
four primary bodies, one’s speech, action, and livelihood become wrongful.
2.
When the
kamaraganusaya arises in any of the four primary bodies, one’s effort, mindfulness,
and concentration become wrongful.
3.
When the
avijjanusaya arises in any of the four primary bodies, one’s view and intent
become wrongful.
Chapter 29: How
to Rest Within One Another or Sorn
There are many aspects of ‘resting within one
another.’ But it should be comprehended
in the same domain that it means ‘resting within one another in manifold at the
similar focus. Suppose that something
rests within one another at the very tip of a needle, whether it be ten
thousands, a hundred thousands, millions, billions, trillions or quadrillions,
all of them rest within the same single spot which is the very tip of a needle,
from the crudest to the most refinement.
For example, when it is said that during the Lord
Buddha’s passing away to the Nirvana, the angels or celestial beings from tens
of thousand to hundreds of thousand universes assemble together, and the area
which was as tiny as the end tip of a deer’s hair was
filled with a billion of angels or celestial beings. This is similar to resting within one another
in manifold at the very tip of a needle which can be a trillion or quadrillion
times. To clarify further, there are
many aspects of resting within one another or sorn as follows:
(1) Resting within
a body
(2) Resting within
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition.
(3) Resting within
the origin of element and essence.
(4) Resting within
the center
(5) Resting within
the five aggregates or khanda
(6) Resting within
the twenty two dominations or indriya
(7) Resting within the
cognition and enclosure of cognition from the crudest
to the most refinement
(8) Resting within the thought
and kamaraganusaya from the crudest to the most refinement
(9) Resting within the perception
and remembrance and the patighanusaya which encloses perception and remembrance,
from the crudest to the most refinement, as well as resting within all others which are not mentioned herewith. But the approach is similar by way of resting
within one another at the same single focus, from the crudest to the most
refinement, in multiplication of billions, trillions, or quadrillions as the
aforesaid without regression.
The term ‘core’ or saih means the middle of
something, e.g. the tip of a needle has its core or the spherical origin of
element and essence also has its core similar to the tip of a needle. We can conclude that everything has its core,
no matter how big or small they are.
The saying that ‘the middle of the middle of the
middle of the middle of the middle of the middle only.. not towards the left,
right, front, back, outside, or inside,’ means to enter the core of the very
core of the very very core of the very very very core, continuously, from the
crudest to the most refinement which gives rise to the further and infinite
refinement.
Chapter 30: The
Living and Non-Living Element & Essence
The
nature of both living and non-living element & essence begins from crudeness
and ends with refinement, as it is called ‘the crudest towards the most
refinement.’ For example, the realms,
where animals live in, exist in the crudest towards the most refined state
including the lokanta hell which is the crudest whereas all other hells are
more refined than the lokanta. The
realms of animals, demons, and hungry-ghosts are more refined than the
hells. The human realms are more refined
than the realms of animals, demons, and hungry ghosts. The six heavenly realms are more refined than
the human realms. The rupa-brahma realms
are more refined than the six heavenly realms.
The arupa-brahma realms are more refined than the rupa-brahma
realms. Finally, the nirvana realm is
more refined than the arupa-brahma realms.
Every
single body has one’s own corresponding realm.
No matter how crude or refined each body is, there is a corresponding crude
or refined realm which is the non-living element & essence that accommodates
the corresponding living element & essence, similar to a pot that has its
fitting lid. So, it is a parallel nature.
The
human body has the celestial body, rupa-brahma body, arupa-brahma body, Dhamma
body, and the furtherly refined bodies, of the human body from the crudest to
the most refinement for every single body.
Each body from the crudest towards the most refinement has its own corresponding
realm that provides accommodation, all alike.
This is similar to the human body which becomes cruder and cruder
furtherly, the cruder body grows bigger and bigger until one’s single hair can
fit into the whole universe of a human realm.
Each cruder and bigger human body also has one’s corresponding realm
which accommodates one’s being. This is
because when a body is comprised of living element & essence, the
corresponding realm which is the non-living element & essence must occur to
accommodate.
The
celestial body has the celestial body’s rupa-brahma body, celestial body’s
arupa-brahma body, the celestial body’s Dhamma body, and the celestial body’s
furtherly refined bodies, from the crudest towards the most refinement. Hence, there are realms for accommodating the
celestial beings respectively from the crudest towards the most refinement
which differ from those of humans and unlike humans.
The rupa-brahma
body has one’s own refined body, the Dhamma body of the rupa-brahma body, from
the crudest towards the most refinement of the rupa-brahma body whereas there
are corresponding realms which accommodate each of the bodies and differ from
those of human body and celestial body, respectively for every single body from
the crudest to the most refined state of the rupa-brahma body.
The
arupa-brahma body has one’s own Dhamma body and the futherly more refined
bodies of the arupa-brahma body, from the crudest towards the most refinement
of the arupa-brahma body. Also, there
are realms which accommodate each of the aforesaid body that differ from those
of human body, celestial body, rupa-brahma body, and Dhamma body, respectively
from the crudest towards the most refinement of the arupa-brahma body.
The
Dhamma body has the refined body of one’s own as well as the more and more
refined bodies of the Dhamma body, from the crudest towards the most refinement,
and there are the corresponding realms which accommodate them and differ from
those of human body, celestial body, rupa-brahma body, and arupa-brahma body,
respectively for every single body from the crudest to the most refined state
of such Dhamma body.
For the
furtherly refined and more refined bodies, each has one’s own state of the
crudest towards the most refinement, separately from the following refined
bodies, respectively from the crudest towards the most refined state of each body.
Do this
according to the sequence of bodies, from body to body, starting from the
crudest towards the most refinement and infinity. As such, we can see that bodies are infinite,
and the corresponding realms which accommodate them are infinite. As such, this is called dispersing
(bisadarn) bodies and dispersing (bisadarn) realms. Mentioning the human bodies only from the
crudest state towards the most refinement of such human body which includes the
human body, celestial body, rupa-brahma body, arupa-brahma body, Dhamma body,
and the furtherly more refined bodies, from the crudest towards the most
refinement state, of such human body only, this is to mention it narrowly as ‘narrowing down bodies and narrowing down realms,’ which can be narrowly mentioned in a respective
continuation.
Chapter 31: The Three
Properties of Human Beings, Celestial Beings, and Nirvana Beings
The three properties are
desirable by all because they enable happiness and fulfill one’s wishes. This is the reason why, when making merits, humans make wishes to gain the three properties
namely the property of human beings, the property of celestial beings, and the property
of Nirvana beings.
What are the properties
of human beings? They are (1) The Minor Crystal or Culla-Cakka Crystal, (2) The Major Crystal or Maha-Cakka Crystal,
and (3) The Grand Crystal or Parama-Cakka Crystal.
What are the properties
of celestial beings? They are (1) The
Minor Celestial Crystal or Culla-Dibba-Cakka Crystal, (2) The Major Celestial Crystal or Maha-Dibba-Cakka Crystal, and (3) The Grand Celestial Crystal or
Parama-Dibba-Cakka Crystal.
What are the properties
of the Nirvana beings? They are (1) The
Minor Buddha Crystal or Culla-Buddha-Cakka Crystal, (2) The Major Buddha Crystal or Maha-Buddha-Cakka Crystal, and (3) The Grand Buddha Crystal or
Parama-Buddha-Cakka Crystal.
Chapter 32: The Map
of Mangala Universe
The map of Mangala Universe comprises of the
followings:
(1) The big spot in the middle is the location of Sumeru Mountain which is
84,000 yojana in height and 84,000 yojana in width.
(2) The big continent or dvipa to the front of Sumeru Mountain is 2,740,000
yojana in width.
(3) The big continent or dvipa to the south of
Sumeru Mountain is 2,740,000 yojana in width.
(4) The big continent or dvipa to the back of
Sumeru Mountain is 2,740,000 yojana in width.
(5) The big continent or dvipa to the north of
Sumeru Mountain is 2,740,000 yojana in width.
(6) All other smaller spots are the surrounding
continents of the four big continents. The smaller spot on one side has 125
surrounding continents or dvipa. The four sides of the big continent add up to
be 500 continents or dvipa. The four sides of the big continent, each has 500
continents or dvipa, add up to be 2,000 smaller surrounding continents.
(7) Each of the smaller surrounding continents is
270,000 yojana in width.
(8) The space from Sumeru Mountain to each of the
smaller surrounding continent is the distance of 84,000 yojana.
(9) The distance from each smaller continent or
dvipa to the bigger continent or dvipa is 84,000 yojana, similar to every
continent or dvipa.
(10) The diameter of the spherical universe is 700
asankheyya-yojana.
(11) The Sumeru Mountain is 700 asankheyya on each
of the four directions which are the front, the back, the right, and the left,
of the Sumeru Mountain. They add up to
be 2,800 asankheyya of mountain.
(12) The Sumeru Mountains line up accordingly in
the same direction on the four directions, forming a row on each direction.
Each row has 700 asankheyya of mountain where they Sumeru Mountain of this
universe is the center.
(13) The map of this universe is the same to the
map of other universes, the Nirvana, the realms of sensual desire or kamabhava,
the realms of the rupa-brahma or rupabhava, the realms of the arupa-brahma or
arupabhava, the realms of suffering or apayabhava, hells, and lokanta hell
realms, all of them have the map with the similar mapping without any
difference because the Lord of Nirvana is the one who created the mapping, so
they are similar in every aspect.
(14) The boundary of each universe is surrounded by
mountains that form a boundary of each universe. The universes are located
either near or afar. The space between universes is fully filled with smoggy air.
(15) Each universe has human beings, heaven, the
Nirvana, the realms of sensual desire or kamabhava, the realms of the
rupa-brahma or rupabhava, the realms of arupa-brahma or arupabhava, the realms
of suffering or apayabhava, hells, and the lokanta hell realm, having Lord
Buddhas who reincarnate, attain enlightenment, and teach living beings to head
towards heavens and the Nirvana, similar to our universe, all alike.
Chapter 33: Investigating the Shape of the Nirvana,
the Three Realms, and the Lokanta Hell Within a Universe
The
universal is spherical and surrounded by mountains. Within a universe, there are the Nirvana at
the above, the Three Major Realms in the middle, and the lokanta hell realm
below as the root.
The Nirvana is
formed with the transcendental crystal.
Thus, the Nirvana is crystal clear, bright, and pure with the
transcendental crystal that finishes the ground, the air above, the right, and
the left. The Nirvana realm is rounded
like a bullet surrounded by the clear, clean, refined, and pure spacious
air. The mass of the Nirvana is floating
in the air underlain by the clean and refined mass of air. Within the spherical substance, it is the
Nirvana City where the Lord Buddhas and the fully enlightened arahants, outnumbering
the sand grains in the four oceans, reside within. The empty ground, the air above which forms
the ceiling, and the air that forms the right and the left wall are all finished
with the transcendental crystal. There
are numerous Lord Buddhas seated in endless rows with similar angle until
becoming out of sight. Their bodies are
crystal clear and topped with the lotus-bud tip. Their lap-width and height is 20 wa or 40
meters only. The Lord Buddhas’ bodies
are of clear, clean, and refined crystals which are superior in quality,
similar to the top grade diamond. There
are lower levels of inferior crystals which are the male and female disciples. Their crystals are crystal clear but inferior
to the Lord Buddhas like the lower grades of diamond. There are levels of more or less
crystallization according to the more or less perfected merit or the stronger
or weaker element or dhatu.
Investigate
the Three Major Realms which comprise of the arupabhava, rupabhava, and
kamabhava. The arupabhava is at the top
whereas the avici hell realm is at the bottom of the Three Major Realms. The arupabhava floats amidst the air, and it
is also finished with the transcendental crystal which is cruder than that of
the Nirvana. The ground below, the air
above, the right and the left of the arupabhava are finished with the transcendental
crystal, but it is much cruder than that of the Nirvana realm.
Investigate
the arupa-brahma. Each of their figures
reside within a crystal sphere whose lap width is 1 kheup (one palm span) and 1
sok (one elbow length) in height. Each
of them is seated in an enclosing crystal sphere, lining up in numerous endless
rows until becoming out of sight.
The three
other lower levels of arupa-brahma are the same to the top level, but they are
respectively cruder. The arupa-brahma in
the ākiñcaññāyatana realm is cruder than
the nevasaññā n'asaññāyatana realm.
The arupa-brahma in the viññānañcāyatana realm is cruder than the
arupa-brahma in the ākiñcaññāyatana realm.
The arupa-brahma in the ākāsānañcāyatana realm is cruder than the
viññānañcāyatana realm.
After investigating the arupa-brahma realms, investigate the
rupa-brahma realms further in a respective manner and so on, from the sixteen
levels of brahma realm to the six levels of heaven, the human realm, the four
realms of suffering or apayabhava, and the avici hell realm which is at the end
bottom of the Three Major Realms or three bhava. After investigating the Three Major Realms or
three bhava, investigate the lokanta hell realm further.
Chapter 34: Small & Big Realms
The small
realms, big realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, lokanta hell realm,
bodies, as well as other elements & essences, do have the state of being
crudest towards the most refinement, all alike.
The small and big
realms are different in such a way that the small realms are realms where small
human beings live in such as the realm we are living in. This is the small realm. It is the place for human beings with small
bodies. Beginning from our human body onward
to the most refined one, they are called the human beings of small realms, all
alike.
Beginning from
our human body onward to the continual enlargement until a single hair line of
our human body can fit into the whole universe.
For the realms where such human bodies live in, ranging from our human
body which enlarges respectively, all of them are called the big realms. To conclude, we take our human body as the
standard. Heading towards refinement is
called the small realm, and heading towards crudeness is called the big realm.
Both small and big realms do have the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, lokanta hell realm, and human bodies. The Nirvana is like the top whereas the Three Major Realms are the trunk, and the lokanta hell realm is the root, where human bodies live in.
Chapter 35: How to Exercise the Unexplodable Superknowledge
First, one has
to take the small realms, big realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms,
human bodies of the small realms, human bodies of the big realms, the celestial
body, the rupa-brahma body, the arupa-brahma body, the Dhamma body, and the
small realms and big realms of every single body, and proceed throughout the
crudest towards the most refined state of the small realms, big realms, the
Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, the lokanta hell realm, and the five bodies,
both small realm and big realm.
Thereafter, we combine the state of being crudest towards the most
refinement of the small realms, big realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major
Realms, the lokanta hell realm, and the five bodies within the small and big
realms, altogether, to be a single one chunk.
Then, take the single one chunk to rest within or sorn and revert
or sab, within our human body, from the crudest to the most refined
state. To do so, we place the crude
one outside and the refined one inside.
Thus, we revert from the end towards the internal to be the
crudest. The method for this reversion
is to place the refined one outside as the enclosure and the crude bodies
inside. Do the resting or sorn
and reversion or sab in manifold until one’s human body and the single
one chunk of a combination fit into each other and become the single clean and
crystal clear substance. Hence, the
human body will become firmly strong, durable, and unexplodable. This allows one to exercise the
superknowledge conveniently without any obstruction because one’s body becomes unexplodable. The realm where we live in is called the
small realm. Within this realm, there
are the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, and lokanta hell realm. No matter how the five bodies are, the small
realms and other big realms besides these, are available, all alike. The difference is that, for the big realms,
the Nirvana, the Three Major Realm, the lokanta hell realm, and the five
bodies, are accordingly big. For the
small realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, the lokanta hell realm, and
the five bodies, are accordingly and respectively small.
Chapter 36: How to Look at the Small & Big Realms, the Nirvana,
the Three Major Realms, the Lokanta Hell Realm, and the Five Bodies, from the Crudest
Towards the Most Refined State
Whatever one wishes to look at, one
starts from looking at the center of the origin of human body first. Once it is seen, and one wishes to look
further, one has to look at the center of the origin of such thing
further. One will see such thing resting
within as another inner layer. If one
wishes to look further, look at the center of the newly arisen once again. One will see such thing resting within
further; thereafter, look at the center of the newly arisen one more time. One will see something resting within such
thing as the inner layer again.
Keep looking furtherly by looking at
the center of the newly arisen because everything that comes into existence must
have the center of origin, all alike without exception. This is a must. The center of something is at the center of
origin of such thing, all alike. No
matter how many they exist from the crudest towards the most refinement, whether
there are hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions,
or tens of millions in number, their centers of origin must be at the same
point, all alike. They are like coins
with holes in the middle that one can string altogether. No matter how many of them, the coins’ holes
are in-line, all alike for every single one of them.
Thus, if one wishes to look at the
small realm, one has to look at the center of the origin of one’s very human
being first. When the small realm is
seen, and one wishes to see the furtherly small realm. One has to look at the center of the arisen
small realm. Then, one will see the arisen
second small realm. Once the second
small realm is seen, and one wishes to see the third small realm. One has to look at the center of the second
small realm. When the third small realm
is seen, and one wishes to see the fourth small realm, one has to look at the
center of the third small realm. Once
the fourth small realm is seen, and one wishes to see the fifth small realm,
one has to look at the center of the arisen fourth small realm. Once the fifth small realm is seen, and one
wishes to see the sixth small realm, one has to look at the center of the newly
arisen fifth small realm. Look at the center
of the newly arisen realm continually and respectively, from the crudest
towards the most refinement.
Other than the example on how to look
at the small realms, to look at the big realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major
Realms, the lokanta hell realm, and the five bodies, from the crudest towards
the most refinement, the method is the same as exemplified in the case of small
realms. The difference is that whatever
one wishes to look at, one has to look at the center of such thing. If one wishes to look at the big realms, one
has to look at the center of origin of the big realms. If one wishes to look at the Nirvana, the
Three Major Realms, the lokanta hell realm, and the five bodies, one has to
look at the center of origin of the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, the
lokanta hell realm, the five bodies, and look furtherly and respectively from
level to level, from the crudest towards the most refined state of such
thing. The center of something must be
exactly at the same point, no matter how many they are, either millions or tens
of millions in number, their centers must be in-line at the same point, all
alike.
Chapter 37: How to
Look at the Small & Big Realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, the
Celestial Body, the Rupa-Brahma Body, the Arupa-Brahma Body, and the Dhamma
Body, Throughout the Crudest Towards the Most Refinement of the Transcendental
Being or Kaya-Siddhi
In order to look at the
small & big realms, it is the same as looking at the small & big
realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, and the five bodies, from the
crudest towards the most refined state as mentioned earlier in chapter 36. The difference is only the center of such
thing of the transcendental being or kaya-siddhi which is enclosed and
rests within the center of such thing of the human being, all alike for
each. Each of them exists in parallel,
all alike. It means that there is the
center of such of the human, and the shell that encloses the inner layer of the
center of such thing which is the nature of transcendental being. This is similar to barks that enclose a tree
to continue its living. For example, the
center of the realm, the center of the Nirvana, the center of the lokanta hell
realm, and the center of the body, when we look into the center, we see the
realm, the Nirvana, the lokanta hell realm, and such body. This is to look at the parts of human being.
For the transcendental
being, it is like the enclosure that forms the outer layer of the center of
such thing namely the inner center within the center of realm, the center of
the Nirvana, the center of the Three Major Realms, the center of the lokanta
hell realm, the center of each body.
This is to look at the parts of transcendental being. But they ought to exist in parallel. The external belongs to the human being while
the internal which rests within belongs to the transcendental being or kaya-siddhi. For example, the external realm is the realm
of human being whereas the realm which rests within is the realm of the
transcendental being. One is the enclosing shell, and the another is
the internal substance. They enclose and rest within each other. These exist in parallel for every single
thing from the crudest towards the most refinement similar to that of the human
being. No matter how many there are in a
human being, the transcendental being which is called the nurturer of human
being also has as many as the human being in parallel. This is because the transcendental being does
the nurturing. There are three types of
transcendental being or the Chakka crystals as follows:
(1) The Culla-Chakka has lower level of
might, power, and vigor. It has the
infinite number of the transcendental crystals as its subordinates. They are servants of the Major Crystal or
Maha-Chakka and the Grand Crystal or Parama-Chakka who are superior. Its duty is to look after and nurture a human
being to gain properties as well as cherishing joy and prosperity to human
beings. They also prevent human beings
against harms and dangers. They give
rise to meals for consumption and things for utilization. These allow human beings to be happy. In addition, they protect and secure human
beings as well as properties of such human beings against dangers.
(2) The Maha-Chakka is superior to the Minor
Crystal or Culla-Chakka and has more might, power, and vigor than the Minor
Crystal or Culla-Chakka. It has the
infinite number of the transcendental crystals of its level as its subordinates
whose number is too many to calculate.
Their power is superior to the Minor Crystal or Culla-Chakka, but the Major
Crystal or Maha-Chakka is the servant of the Grand Crystal or Parama-Chakka. It has power to make the Minor Crystal or
Culla-Chakka and subordinates to work for.
Its duty is to nurture, look after, and enable properties, happiness,
prosperity, meals for consumption, and things for utilization, as well as tools
and equipment, to occur to human beings.
It also protects human beings against dangers and sickness. In addition, it secures human beings and
their properties to be unharmed. These
are similar to the Minor Crystal or Culla-Chakka, but its functioning can be
neater, better, superior, and more refined than that of the Minor Crystal or
Culla-Chakka.
(3) The Parama-Chakka is the most mighty,
powerful, and vigorous when comparing to the Minor Crystal or Culla-Chakka and
Major Crystal or Maha-Chakka. It has the infinite number of the
transcendental crystals of its level as its subordinates whose number is
infinite and too many to calculate. It
has power superior to and eligible to make the Minor Crystal or Culla-Chakka
and the Major Crystal or Maha-Chakka as well as their subordinates to work for. Its duty is to nourish and look after human
beings to have properties, happiness, and prosperity, as well as meals for
consumption and things for utilization including tools and equipment. It provides various forms of happiness to
human beings. In addition, it prevents
human beings against harms, dangers, and sickness. Also, it secures human beings and their
properties against dangers. It provides
happiness and prevents suffering among human beings. These are similar to the Minor Crystal or
Culla-Chakka and Major Crystal or Maha-Chakka, but the Grand Crystal or
Parama-Chakka can do it neater, better, superior, and more complete than that
of both the Minor Crystal or Culla-Chakka and Major Crystal or Maha-Chakka.
The duty of the three
Chakka(s) is to nurture and secure human being for a single realm. For each human being, the three Chakka(s)
nurture with human properties. For the
celestial body, the rupa-brahma body, and the arupa-brahma body, each of them
has the three Chakka(s) who nurture with the immaterial properties as the part
of celestial properties. For those in
the four realms of suffering or apayabhava, they nurture with the crudest
properties. It can be concluded that each
of the bodies, from the crudest towards the most refinement, has the three
Chakka(s) as one’s nurturers, all alike.
The three crystals are nurturers who nurture with material properties
and immaterial properties, respectively, according to the level of bodies,
similarly to every single one of them, with no exception. It is called the human properties whereas the
celestial properties are also made possible with the three crystals.
In case of properties in
the Nirvana, they are furnished by the sublime transcendental beings or crystals
namely (1) The Culla-Buddha-Chakka
Crystal, (2) The Maha-Buddha-Chakka Crystal, and (3) The Parama-Buddha-Chakka
Crystal. These three crystals are the
ones who furnish the sublime properties in the Nirvana.
So, the Lord Buddhas and the fully enlightened Arahant(s) can enjoy the
great bliss with the celestial experience over the transcendental taste which
penetrates all over them and imbibes their very cores, allowing them to remain
superbly blissful and neatly peaceful upon such qualities within the Nirvana. These qualities marinate and penetrate their
being, causing them to be sublimely peaceful and blissful eternally and
timelessly without inconsistence. These
are made possible by the three Buddha-Chakka(s) who furnish the Nirvana’s
properties to be superbly blissful.
The fifteen Chakka(s) are
as follows:
(1) Culla-Chakka for the four bodies which are the
human, the celestial, the rupa-brahma, and the arupa-brahma.
(2) Maha-Chakka for the four bodies which are the
human, the celestial, the rupa-brahma, and the arupa-brahma.
(3) Parama-Chakka for the four bodies which are
the human, the celestial, the rupa-brahma, and the arupa-brahma. Totally, there are twelve Chakka(s) so far. The three additional Buddha-Chakka(s) are:
(4) Culla-Buddha-Chakka for the Nirvana.
(5) Maha-Buddha-Chakka for the Nirvana.
(6) Parama-Buddha-Chakka for the Nirvana. Totally, there are fifteen Chakka(s).
Each realm has the
fifteen Chakka(s) according to the aforesaid, each set for each realm. Each of the small and big realms, no matter
how many they are, either the human’s or the transcendental being’s, from the
crudest towards the most refinement, has a set of fifteen Chakka(s) in parallel
for every single realm, from the crudest towards the most refinement, for both
the human’s realm and the transcendental being’s realm. For the realm of transcendental being or kaya-siddhi,
each Chakka-Bhava has fifteen Chakka(s) similarly to every realm either small
or big. They are available in every realm
from the crudest towards the most refinement similar to the realms of human,
all alike.
Chapter 38: The
Method for Assembling the Human Body To Be Very Mighty In Order To Exercise the
Superknowledge
After investigating the
small & big realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, the lokanta hell
realm, and the five bodies, from the crudest towards to the most refinement
completely, which belong to both the human and the human’s nurturer or the
transcendental being or kaya-siddhi, of both the white-lineage and the
neither white nor black lineage, then, combine all of them into one single
chunk. As such, separate the chunk into
two parts which are the part of elements or dhatu and the part of essences or
Dhamma. Take the elements or dhatu as
kasina while the essences or Dhamma as the samapatti. Hence, proceed the samapatti within kasina
for eight rounds in order to clean and eliminate the contaminations within
kasina which are various colors. Thus,
the elements or dhatu become clean, pure, white, and free from contamination. This is made possible with the proceeding
into samapatti for eight rounds. It is
not only the part of elements or dhatu that become clean, the part of essences
or Dhamma also become clean, white, pure, and better than their earlier state
because of the bleaching through layers.
The method for proceeding
into samapatti within kasina is to bleach the elements and essences through
layers. Thereafter, we assemble the
special human body with such bleached elements and essences. The special human body will become very
mighty because it is the combination of the small & big realms, the
Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, and the lokanta hell realm, which belong to
the human and the human’s nurturer or transcendental being or kaya-siddhi,
from both the white-lineage and the neither white nor black lineage, from the
crudest towards the most refined state.
Once the special human body arises within one’s abdomen, order the
special human body to enter the very core of each of the small & big
realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, and the lokanta hell realm, which
belong to the human and the transcendental being or kaya-siddhi, of both
the white-lineage and the neither white nor black lineage, from the crudest
towards the most refinement, once again.
Hence, combine all of the realms where the special human body already
entered their cores, from the crudest towards the most refinement, to be a
single chunk, once again. Then, separate
the chunk into two parts. The part of
dhatu or elements become the kasina. The
parts of essences or Dhamma become the samapatti. Proceed the samapatti within kasina for eight
rounds or more until the elements or dhatu become clean, clear, white, and pure;
thereafter, one can stop proceeding into samapatti.
Then, take the well
bleached elements or dhatu and essences or Dhamma to assemble the special human
body. Allowing it to arise in the
mother’s abdomen and send this special human body to enter the core of small
& big realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, which belong to the human
and the transcendental being or kaya-siddhi, of both the white-lineage
and the neither white nor black lineage, from the crudest towards the most
refinement similar to the aforesaid.
Then, take all of those states and combine them into one single chunk
again, and separate it into the elements and essences. Assemble the special human body and send it
to enter the very core of everything.
Do the same according to the previous aforesaid, from the crudest towards
the most refinement of such special human body.
After we do according to
the aforesaid until gaining expertise, now, when we are to assemble the special
human body again, allowing the pathamamagga, magga citta and magga panna to
arise within, from the human body towards the Dhamma body. The first four earlier bodies are still
untrue, only when reaching the Dhamma body, it will be true. This is because the body and the mind which
are the Buddha-Gem or Buddharatna is the true pathamamagga. The citta
sphere which is the Dhamma-Gem or Dhammaratna is also the true magga citta. The vinnana sphere which is the Sangha-Gem or
Sangharatna is also the true magga panna. The Gotrabhu is the Dhamma body whose newly
arising is clearer, cleaner, and more refined.
The underlying of perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition
enlarge until reaching 4 wa or 8 meters.
This is the Dhamma body which underlies perception, the lap-width
is 4 wa or 8 meters. The
underlying of remembrance is the mind which is 4 wa or 8
meters in diameter of its crosscut. The citta
which underlies thought is also 4 wa or 8 meters in diameter of its
crosscut. The vinnana, which
underlies cognition, is also 4 wa or 8 meters in diameter of its
crosscut.
Sotapattimagga is the Dhamma body whose
newly arising is clearer, cleaner, and more refined. The underlying of perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition, enlarge from 4 wa or 8 meters further (but less
than 5 wa or 10 meters). If the
size reaches 5 wa or 10 meters, it becomes Sotapattiaphala. The newly arising of Sotapattiphala body is
clearer, cleaner, and more refined than Sotapattimagga.
Sagidagamimagga is the Dhamma body whose
newly arising is clearer, cleaner, and more refined. The underlying of perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition enlarge to form the lap-width of 5 wa or 10
meters or larger. The crosscuts of mind,
citta, and vinna, are at least 5 wa or 10 meters in diameter (but less
than 10 wa or 20 meters). If the
diameters reach 10 wa or 20 meters, it is the Sagidagamiphala.
Anagamimagga is the Dhamma body whose
newly arising is clearer, cleaner, and more refined. The underlying of perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition enlarge to form the lap-width of 10 wa or 20
meters or larger (but less than 15 wa or 30 meters). The crosscuts of mind, citta, and vinnana are
10 wa or 20 meters in diameter (but less than 15 wa or 30
meters). If the diameters reach 15 wa
or 30 meters, it is the Anagamiphala.
The body of Anagamiphala is clearer, cleaner, and more refined than the
body of Anagamimagga.
Arahattamagga is the Dhamma body whose
newly arising is clearer, cleaner, more refined, and better. The underlying of perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition are larger as the lap-width of 15 wa or 30 meters
or more (but less than 20 wa or 40 meters). The crosscuts of mind, citta, and vinnana are
15 wa or 30 meters in diameter, each (but less than 20 wa or 40
meters). If the diameters reach 20 wa
or 40 meters, it is Arahattaphala.
Attaining Buddhahood-Enlightenment means the Dhamma body,
but it is better, clearer, cleaner, and purer than the Arahattaphala. The underlying of perception, remembrance,
thought, and cognition are larger as the lap-width of 20 wa or 40 meters
or more. The crosscuts of mind, citta,
and vinnana are 20 wa or 40 meters or more. This is the body of Buddhahood-enlightenment.
Entering Nirodha means allowing the
perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition to enter and rest within the
center of the living Nirvana which belongs to the Dhamma body who
attains Buddhahood-enlightenment. Keep
them firmly still within the core of perception, remembrance, thought, and
cognition, then, enlighten within the middle of the very core of such firm
stillness. Then, cease the crude perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition respectively, from level to level, from the
crudest towards the most refinement.
It is termed Enlightening
within Nirodha because it is the insight that consequently occurs while
entering Nirodha to cease the crudeness of perception, remembrance, thought,
and cognition respectively, from level to level, from the crudest towards the
most refinement. When entering Nirodha,
cognition within stillness and stillness within cognition are infinite upon the
numerous and incalculable age of elements or ayu-dhat and age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-parami, every color, every lineage, every
body, every lord, and every clan. It
means cognition within Nirodha and entering Nirodha within cognition endlessly
without regression. This means counting
the age of living element and non-living element, all of them, since the
original formation of element or dhatu.
Count one asankheyya year as one second and two asankheyya year as two
second. Count backward from very now until
the day, month, and year, when the original element was firstly formed. Counting the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-parami
means counting the day, month, and year, of every single living element backward
until reaching the very beginning of perfections pursuance of each one,
all alike. Count one asankheyya year as
one second and two asankheyya year as two second. Count backward from very now until reaching
the day, month, and year, when one firstly began to pursue perfections, for
every color, every lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan, all of
them.
Every Color means counting every
single body whose color is white, black, red, yellow, smoky, or green, altogether
with their transcendental beings or kaya-siddhi.
Every Lineage means the white-lineage,
the neither white nor black lineage, and the black-lineage, altogether with
their transcendental beings or kaya-siddhi.
Every Body means the small, big,
and medium bodies, altogether with their transcendental beings or kaya-siddhi.
Every Lord means the Lord Buddha(s)
and the fully enlightened Arahants in every Nirvana, both the Nirvana of small
and big realms, altogether with the transcendental beings or kaya-siddhi
in all of the Nirvana(s) of such small & big realms.
This also includes those
throughout the kama-bhava, rupa-bhava, and arupa-bhava, altogether with the
transcendental beings or kaya-siddhi.
Every Clan means the clan of right view or samma-ditthi, the clan of wrong view or miccha-ditthi, the clan of neither right view nor wrong view, altogether with all of the transcendental beings or kaya-siddhi of the aforesaid clans.

Tor
Nirodh or
Continuing the Nirodha means maintaining the stillness within stillness
furtherly from the crudest towards the most refinement. Continue the stillness within stillness from
the crudest towards the most refinement furtherly and infinitely in manifold, in
a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-dhamma, endlessly throughout every color,
every lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan, in manifold infinitely.
Tor
Trassaru Nai Nirodh or Continuing Enlightenment within Nirdodha means
knowing within the very core of Nirodha from the crudest towards the most
refinement state. Continue the knowing
within the very core of such Nirodha further in manifold until becoming endless,
in a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-dhamma, endlessly throughout every color,
every lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan, in manifold infinitely.
Tor
Hen, Jum, Kid, and Rue or Continuing perception, remembrance, thought, and

being or kaya-siddhi, from the crudest towards the most refinement, in a
countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-dhamma, to be completely connected and
become a single perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition.
Tor Wan
& Tor Klong means when we cannot see or clearly see something, we
use the magnifier or wan to brightly and clearly see it. If we still cannot see it, we have to
continue using the magnifier or wan furtherly from the crudest towards
the most refinement until we can see it clearly.
If we
still cannot see after we use the magnifier or tor wan, we have to use
the telescope or klong which is more refined than the magnifier
or wan. Then, we can see clearer
than the magnifier or wan. Using
the telescope or klong to see throughout the crudest towards the most
refinement, in manifold endlessly for both the magnifier or wan and
telescope or klong, in an uncountable number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu
and the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-dhamma.
After
we use the magnifier or wan and the telescope or klong throughout
the crudest towards the most refinement, and if we still cannot see, we have to
enlarge the magnifier or wan and the telescope or klong,
and use them to look through again from the crudest towards the most refinement. We will be able to see it more clearly, sharply,
and brightly.
Tor
Nyan or
Continuing the Insight and Tor Rue or Continuing the Knowing mean to
continue the insight and knowing of all Dhammakaya(s) in the Nirvana(s), the
small and big realms, the undisclosed realms, the disclosed realms, in an
uncountable number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-dhamma, endlessly throughout every color,
every lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan, infinitely in manifold.
All
kinds of the aforesaid continuing in this chapter are the continuing within
Nirodha which means the stillness within stillness within further stillness
and so on, all alike.
Chapter
40: Stillness Within the Middle of Knowing, Purifying the Magnifier, the
Telescope, the Insight, the Nirodha, and the Enlightenment Within Nirodha
Towards the Air.
The
stillness within Nirodha means entering the Nirodha within the very core of
knowing. The term ‘purify’ or ‘klan’
means taking something which is available in numerous number from the crudest
towards the most refinement, in a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu
and the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-dhamma, throughout every
color, every lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan. Then, take all of such things which are
available in countless number to combine into a single chunk and ‘purify’ or ‘klan’
them into one single thing. For example,
in case of the magnifier or wan, we take the whole of all the magnifiers
and combine them into one single magnifier or wan and purify them to become
a single magnifier. In case of insight,
we take the whole of all insights and purify them to become a single insight. In case of knowing, we take the whole of all
knowing and purify them to become a single knowing. In case of the Nirodha, we take the whole of
all Nirodha and purify them to become a single Nirodha. In case of the enlightenment within Nirodha,
we take the whole of all enlightenment within Nirodha and purify them to become
a single enlightenment within Nirodha. This
is similar to an individual who take the whole medical ingredients and extract
them to become only one kind of medicine or mixing and distilling various
things to make liquor or other kinds of distillate such as perfume. Likewise, we take and combine numerous things
to become one which can be better, clearer, and more refined than its previous
state. The purifying or distilling upon
everything as already explained in this chapter must purify towards the
causal air or hed akas which means the spaciousness within
spaciousness within further spaciousness and so on, respectively and
similarly for every single one of them.
Chapter
41: The Method for Purifying the Solely Elements, the Solely Essences,
the Small & Big Realms, the Undisclosed & Disclosed Realms, the White
and Neither White nor Black Lineage, of Both the Human and the Transcendental
Being, to Become the Mighty Special Human In Order To Exercise the
Superknowledge
The
living elements & essences are one thing, the non-living elements &
essences are another thing.
The
living elements & essences are the state of having life and mind such as
humans and animals.
The
non-living elements & essences are the state of something which underlies
the living elements to continue on, similar to the shelter where the living
elements reside such as houses and atmosphere, these realms or bhava are
like the shelters that underlie the living elements who reside such as humans
and animals.
The
living elements have sanghara loka, sattva loka, and akasa loka as their
residences. The non-living elements also
have sanghara loka, sattva loka, and akasa loka as their residences as well.
In term
of element & essence, they are categorized as the mixed element, the
mixed essence, the solely element, and the solely essence.
The
mixed elements and the mixed essences mean the elements and essences which are already
mixed with some other things.
The
solely elements and the solely essences mean the elements and essences which
have not been mixed, so they remain to be the solely pure elements and the
solely pure essences, without any mixture.
To
purify the special human body in order to exercise the superknowledge mightily,
after we take the mixed elements and essences which are the small &
big realms, the undisclosed & disclosed realms, the Nirvana, the Three
Major Realms, the lokanta hell realm, and the five bodies, throughout the
crudest towards the most refinement, which are infinite, available in countless
number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of perfections
pursuance or ayu-parami, throughout every color, every lineage, every
body, every lord, and every clan, to assemble into one single special human
body who arises in the mother’s abdomen, throughout the crudest towards the
most refined, for a hundred or a thousand times, and endlessly in manifold
similar to the explanation in chapter 38.
Thereafter,
try assembling the human body from the solely pure elements and solely
pure essences to exercise superknowledge or vijja. The method for assembling is similar to that
of the mixed elements and essences. The difference
is that we do the solely elements and solely essences. To do this, we take the whole of all the
aforesaid mixed elements to assemble the special human body. Then, we send it to enter the very core of the
solely elements and the solely essences of the small & big realms, the
undisclosed & disclosed realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, and
the five bodies, from the crudest towards the most refinement, endlessly, available
in a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-parami, throughout every color, every
lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan, both the white lineage and the
neither white nor black lineage, which belong to both the human and the human’s
nurturer. Then, combine them into a
single chunk and separate them into solely elements and solely essences. The solely elements is taken as kasina
whereas the solely elements is taken as samapatti. Proceed into samapatti for eight rounds
to purify the solely elements and solely essences to be cleaner, from level to
level. Then, assemble the special human
body and send it to enter the very core of the solely elements and the solely
essences which comprise of the small & big realms, the undisclosed &
disclosed realms, and so on according to the aforesaid, endlessly, from the crudest
towards the most refinement, available in a countless number of the age of
elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-parami,
for hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions times. Do the same as we do to the mixed elements
and essences. Do it until reaching the
state of refinement.
Then,
take the solely elements and the solely essences to assemble the special human
body, and give rise to the pathamamagga, magga citta, magga panna, Gotrabhu,
Sotapattimagga, Sotapattiphala, Sagidagamimagga, Sagidagamiphala, Anagamimagga,
Anagamiphala, Arahattamagga, Arahattaphala, the attainment of
Buddhahood-enlightenment, entering into Nirodha, enlightening within Nirodha,
becoming still within knowing, knowing within stillness, endlessly, continuing
the Nirodha, continuing the enlightenment within Nirodha, becoming still within
the knowing, knowing within the stillness, endlessly, continuing the Nirodha,
continuing the enlightenment within Nirodha, furthering perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition, furthering the magnifier or wan,
furthering the telescope or klong, continuing the insight, continuing
the knowing, enlarging the magnifier or wan, enlarging the telescope or klong,
becoming still within knowing, purifing the magnifier or wan, purifing
the telescope or klong, purifying the insight, purifying the knowing,
purifying the Nirodha, purifying the enlightenment within Nirodha, heading
towards the causal air or hed-akas, endlessly, from the crudest towards
the most refinement, available in a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu
and the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-parami, for tens of thousands
times, hundreds of thousands times, or even tens of millions times, without
regression, from the crudest towards the most refined state, respectively.
After
we do it with the solely elements and solely essence, as well as purifying the
Nirodha and the Enlightenment within Nirodha, as the aforesaid until
completion, next, we have to do it in the cause of solely elements and the
cause of solely essences, further. It
means the causes that give rise to the solely elements and the solely essences. The method is in the same aspect as the
aforesaid, but we take only the whole causes of solely elements and solely essences
as well as the whole purification in the Nirodha and the enlightenment within
Nirodha of such causes of the solely elements and solely essences, to assemble
the special human body. Then, we send him
to enter the very core of all of the causes of solely elements and solely
essences such as the causes of small & big realms, endlessly, available in
a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-parami.
Do it for hundreds of thousands times or even tens of millions times. Thus, take those causes of the causes of
solely elements and solely essences to assemble another special human body. Then, give rise to the pathamamagga sphere,
magga citta, magga panna, Gotrabhu, Sotapattimagga, Sotapattiphala,
Sagidagamimagga, Sagidagamiphala, Anagamimagga, Anagamiphala, Arahattamagga,
Arahattaphala, as well as the purification of Nirodha and the endless purification
of the enlightenment within Nirodha, in a countless number of the age of
elements or ayu-dhatu and the perfections pursuance or ayu-parami. Do this without regression, for hundreds of
thousands times or even tens of millions times.
Then, do the cause within the cause within further causes, continuously
without regression. Do it according to all of the aforesaid.
Chapter
42: The Method for Taking All of the Causeless, Elementless, and
Essenceless of the Small & Big Realms, Undisclosed & Disclosed Realms,
Which Belong to the White Lineage and the Neither White nor Black Lineage,
Which Belong to the Human and the Transcendental Being, for Purification and
Assembling the Mighty Special Human Body In Order To Exercise the
Superknowledge
The method
mentioned in chapter 38 is for the mixed elements and essences. For chapter 41, it is for the solely elements
and essences which are not mixed. In
this chapter, we will do the inexistence of both element and essence. Originally, the inexistence of element and
essence is the very first causation. This
state had lasted for a long time, available in countless number of the age of
elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-parami.
Long after that, the inexistence of
element and essence is the cause that bears result which is the existence of
elements and essences. They have existed
in a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-parami.
The existence of elements and essences turn to become the cause and
there is the inexistence of element and essence as the result, resting within. This means that the existence of elements and
essences is the middle layer whereas the external layer is the original
inexistence of element and essence, and the inner layer is the inexistence of
element and essence after the complete cessation of the availability of elements
and essences. It is when elements and
essences are over. Thus, the inexistence
of element and essence occurs within such small & big and wide & narrow
state. We take the existence of elements
and essences as the standard. The shape
of the existence of elements and essences is small & big and wide &
narrow. It is equal and similar to the
shape of the inexistence of element and essence, both the internal one and the
external one. They are similar in all
aspects. The shape of the existence of
elements and essences is rounded like a lime fruit. The inexistence of elements and essences
which encloses it is like the coconut. The
inexistence of elements and essences which forms the external layer is the air. The coconut itself is the substance of the
existence of element and essence. Inside
the coconut and coconut meat, after we remove the coconut water, and there
remains only the space within, this is the inexistence of element and
essence. The substance of the existence
of element and essence is the enclosing coconut meat and crust.
From
now on, we will explain the method for exercising the superknowledge over the
inexistence of element and essence. Firstly,
assemble the special human body and send it to enter through the very cores of
the cause of elementess and essenceless, the cause of no cause of element and
essence, within the cause of the elementless and essenceless, of the cause of
no cause of element and essence, and furtherly, more and more, without
regression, from the crudest towards the most refinement, endlessly, available
in a countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of
perfections pursuance or ayu-parami, throughout every color, every
lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan, which belong to both the human
and the human’s nurturer and both the white lineage and the neither white nor black
lineage. Then, ‘string’ through the
cores and ‘flip’ inside out, and ‘unlock’ the black lineage’s superknowledge,
which marinates, penetrates, mixes, and blends to be, to be completely
eliminated. Then, combine all of them
together and separate the elementless as one, the essenceless as one, elementsless
as kasina, and essenceless as samapatti.
Then, proceed samapatti within kasina for eight rounds. Bleach and clean them to be pure. Hence, take them to assemble the special human
body, and send it to enter throughout the very cores of the cause of
elementless and essenceless, of the cause of elementless and essenceless,
further and further, more and more. Similar
to the aforesaid without regression, from the crudest towards the most
refinement, which is available in countless number of the age of elements or ayu-dhatu
and the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-parami, which belong to both
the human and the transcendental beings or kaya-siddhi, which belong to both
the white lineage and the neither white nor black lineage. Then, ‘string’ through the cores and ‘flip’
inside out, and ‘unlock’ the black lineage’s superknowledge, which marinates,
penetrates, mixes, and blends to be. Thus,
combine all of them altogether and proceed into samapatti until it becomes
clean and pure. Next, assemble it to be
the special human body and send it to enter throughout the cores again. Repeat this for tens of thousands or even tens
of millions times.
Upon
completion, after the special human body has been assembled, give rise to
pathamamagga sphere, magga citta, magga panna, Gotrabhu, Sotapattimagga,
Sotapattiphala, Sagidagamimagga, Sagidagamiphala, Anagamimagga, Anagamiphala,
Arahattamagga, Arahattaphala, attaining Buddhahood-enlightenment, entering
Nirodha, enlightening within Nirodha, stilling within knowing, knowing within stillness,
endlessly, continuing Nirodha, continuing the enlightenment within Nirodha,
furthering perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition, furthering the
magnifier or wan, furthering the telescope or klong, continuing
the insight, continuing the knowing... enlarging the magnifier or wan,
enlarging the telescope or klong, purifying Nirodha, purifying the
enlightenment within Nirodha, entering within the cause of elementless and
essenceless of the cause of elementless and essenceless which is infinite, from
the crudest towards the most refinement, available in countless number of the
age of elements or ayu-dhatu and the age of perfections pursuance or ayu-parami.
Repeat these for tens of thousands,
hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions times without regression, from
the crudest towards the most refined state.
43. The Method for Achieving Clear Cognition,
Clear Perception, Clear Remembrance, and Clear Thought, Which Are Certain and
Very Accurate
Prior to cognize,
perceive, remember, or think about something, one has to incline one’s citta
towards such thing first. This is called
‘adhitthana citta.’ Upon completion, one
can enter Nirodha which is to maintain the stillness within stillness, the
stillness within further stillness, further stillness within very further
stillness, and so on, from the crudest towards the most refinement. One has to remain still at the very end
destination of refinement of the cognition.
Keep up with the very still and firm stillness without
inconsistence. If it happens to be
inconsistent, there remains the uncertainty.
One must be truly still to become accurate. If the citta is inconsistent, one may be deceived,
and it is inaccurate. One has to keep
one’s citta truly still and very determined within Nirodha. Thus, anything that arises within Nirodha,
without a mental click, it arises by itself as empowered by the stillness
within Nirodha. As such, this leads to
the true phenomena. This is called the
‘enlightened cognition within Nirodha’ when something arises clearly and
brightly as if one sees it with one’s naked eyes. This is similar to dreaming of
situations. Also, it is the enlightening
within Nirodha. When cognition arises,
it is called the ‘enlightened cognition within Nirodha.’ When perception arises, it is called the
‘enlightened perception within Nirodha.’
If remembrance arises, it is called the ‘enlightened remembrance within
Nirodha.’ If thought arises, it is
called the ‘enlightened thought within Nirodha.’
When cognition arises,
one knows the story which is like a dream.
When perception arises, one clearly sees the scenes like a movie or
events in a dream. Whatever arises,
exercise the superknowledge of magga and phala further, ranging from the
pathamamagga, magga citta, magga panna, Gotrabhu, Sotapattimagga, Sotapattiphala,
Sagidagamimagga, Sagidagamiphala, Anagamimagga, Anagamiphala, Arahattamagga,
Arahattaphala, attaining the Buddhahood-enlightenment, entering Nirodha, attaining
enlightened cognition within Nirodha, attaining enlightened perception within
Nirodha, attaining enlightened remembrance within Nirodha, and attaining
enlightened thought within Nirodha. When
anything arises further, exercise the superknowledge of magga and phala
furthermore, ranging from the pathamamagga, magga citta, magga panna, Gotrabhu,
Sota…, Sagidaga..., Anaga…, Arahatta…, and so on, enlightened cognition,
enlightened perception, enlightened remembrance, and enlightened thought,
within Nirodha. Do these inwardly and
furtherly, more and more, without regression, from the crudest towards the most
refined state, more and more refined, and furtherly refined.
The term ‘entering
Nirodha’ means ceasing the crude and progressing towards the more refined. If one enters Nirodha for seven consecutive
days, it will be superbly refined.
Allow the perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition of the human’s nurturers who belong to the
white lineage, the neither white nor black lineage, throughout every color,
every lineage, every body, every lord, and every clan, who belong to the small
& big realms, the undisclosed & disclosed Nirvana, all over, to rest
within each other and be completely connected.
Then, enter into Nirodha. If one
does this for one minute, the fruition is much greater than that of the seven
consecutive days.
44. The Origin of Element and Essence is so Tiny. How Do the Small & Big Realms, the
Undisclosed & Disclosed Realms, the Nirvana, the Three Major Realms, the
Lokanta Hell Realm, and Various Things Which Belong to the Human and the
Human’s Nurturer, Throughout Every Color, Every Lineage, Every Body, Every
Clan, and Every Lord, Can Unite Into The Same Origin of Element and Essence
Which is So Tiny.
To clarify, the origin of
element and essence or the original seed is in the most refinement state. Thus, anything and various things can have
their total immaterial beings completely unite into the origin of element and
essence. This is like a seed of a Bodhi
or banyan tree which contains the whole immaterial parts of trunks, branches,
leaves, roots, and fruits, in just one single original seed. The tiny immaterial
parts which unite within the origin of element and essence, when enlarged
towards the cruder state, the cruder state can expand to fulfill the whole
element and essence. When the cruder
part is traced back towards the most refined part, it is just ‘the tiny’ which
can be even smaller than the thickness of a spider web in manifold. Thus, every of the various things can unite
into the origin of element and essence, similar to the whole Bodhi or banyan
tree which stems and grows from an immaterial seed. When it enlarges to become the crude parts,
it turns to be a big tree with numerous branches. If we trace back from the crudeness towards
refinement, its very refined being is very tiny, smaller than one of the
thousandth of the spider web’s thickness.
(because the big things can stem from small things and small things can stem
from the big things, all alike in every aspect)
45. The Method for Tracing Back the Seed of
Origin or the Origin of Element and Essence
The seed of origin is the
origin of element and essence located within the middle of human body. The state of everything unites within the
seed of origin, all alike. But they are
the immaterial forms, if they are extended towards crudeness, they can be enlarged
to fulfill the whole element and essence.
The seed of origin can be
divided into three parts namely the beginning, the middle, and the end. To trace back, one has to trace from the end
towards the middle, and from the middle towards the beginning. This is because the beginning gives rise to
the middle, and the middle gives rise to the end. Take the crude part of element and essence
which is the end part and put them into the middle of the seed of origin, or we
can call it ‘the origin.’ Then, take all
of the element and essence in the middle and put them into the beginning of the
seed of origin which is like the immaterial part. This is similar to the Dhamma body that
reverses backward to the arupa-brahma body, and the arupa-brahma body reverse
backward to the rupa-brahma body, the rupa-brahma body reverses backward to the
celestial body, and the celestial body reverses backward to the human
body. In the same manner, the human body
is accounted as the seed of origin or the origin of element and essence. So, we have to firstly take the end to trace
back towards the middle, and take the middle to secondly trace back towards the
beginning, respectively.
46. The Method for Exercising the Superknowledge
and the Supernormal Superknowledge
As the supernormal
superknowledge has been exercised, the human body investigates those who enter
the Nirvana and those who reincarnate among the lokanta hell realm, the realm
of animals, hungry ghosts, demons, human beings, celestial beings, rupa-brahma,
arupa-brahma, and the Nirvana. Along the
investigation, one can notice that within the origin of element and essence of
every single body, there are machines that send and receive beings when they
reincarnate from realms to realms. In
addition, other than the bodies, every single realm, at the bottom and the top edge
of each realm, has machines whose functions are to transfer bodies away from
such realm as well as transferring bodies into such realm. At the very center of each realm, there is another
machine for transference which is in-line or corresponds to the center of
origin of every body. For example, the
center of lokanta hell realm has a machine whose function is to transfer hell
creatures to the edges of the lokanta hell realm. The edges of the lokanta hell realm have the
machines that transfer hell creatures to outside as well as transferring into
the lokanta hell realm. If we allow the
Anagami Dhamma body to enter the Nirvana to do a thorough investigation, we can
see that, in the beginning, the body is seated facing the East. Allow the Dhamma body to proceed into
samapatti, back and forth, for seven rounds.
To proceed into jhana samapatti, enter the first jhana towards the eight
jhana, as a forward. This is the first
round. Then, proceed from the eighth jhana towards the first jhana, as a
backward. This is the second round. Do these for seven rounds and stop at the
eighth jhana. While we proceed into
jhana, the Dhamma body is pleased with the samapatti. Do not allow the Dhamma body to deepen and
rearise in the Nirvana yet. Thus, after
reaching the eighth jhana, allow the Dhamma body, arupa-brahma body,
rupa-brahma body, celestial body, and human body, altogether, to contemplate
over the letting go of the five aggregates or five khanda. Let go from the crude towards the refined
ones. The Dhamma body continues to
contemplate and let go the rupa-jhana, arupa-jhana, favor upon the jhana, as
well as the perception, remembrance, thought, and cognition of favor upon the
jhana, completely. Once all of those are
let go altogether with the disconnection, the crude Dhamma body is
disconnected, and the refined Dhamma body will be unlocked and rearisen. This is because the center of the Dhamma body
has a machine for receiving and transferring.
The machine draws one to deepen into the center, and the machine does
its function by sending the Dhamma body to the top edge of the realm. During this process, the machine at the edge
of the realm vibrates and does its function by drawing or receiving the Dhamma
body from the machine at the center of realm.
Upon arrival to the top edge of the realm, the machine there does its
function by transferring the Dhamma body.
At the same moment, the machine at the bottom edge of the Nirvana realm
does its function by drawing or receiving the Dhamma body immediately as
well. Upon arrival to the bottom edge of
the Nirvana realm, the machine at the bottom edge does its function by
transferring the Dhamma body to the center of the Nirvana. Thus, the machine at the center of Nirvana
operates by drawing or receiving the Dhamma body. During this process, the figure of the Dhamma
body fully grows to be 20 wa or 40 meters of such Nirvana realm. Then, the machine at the center of the
Nirvana realm does its function further by transferring such Dhamma body to
station at an area of the Nirvana which is distant from the machine located at
the center of such Nirvana realm. There
is the Lord Buddha who has entered the Nirvana and stationed there
earlier. When the new comer enters the
zone later, the new comer is located around the zone’s machine, this forms a
clockwise encircling. When the first
innermost circle is full, there will be the additional of the second outer
circling with the distance of a half of jhana of the Lord Buddha who stations
within his circling. When the Dhamma
body is at the center of the Nirvana realm, one can see everything in the
Nirvana thoroughly, but one cannot see the machines which transfer bodies to
and from because they are more refined.
When one is transferred through machines, the Dhamma body cannot feel
anything because the machines work promptly and speedily. When the Dhamma body deepens and gets
unlocked for disembodiment, the feeling of the Dhamma body during such process
is of complete disconnection. One will
come to realize again when arriving the Nirvana. This is to enter the non-living Nirvana realm
by way of disembodiment. However, the
entering of living Nirvana is exactly the same, but the difference is that all
other bodies do not cease because all of them rest within the Dhamma body, as
well as the Nirvana which is also in-line.
For the non-disembodiment Nirvana realm, when proceeding into samapatti,
all bodies enter samapatti altogether and let go to enter the Nirvana realm
altogether, but the bodies do not cease.
One proceeds into samapatti in the beginning, after entering the living
Nirvana, proceed into samapatti within the living Nirvana to enter the
non-living Nirvana further. In the same
manner, as we exercise the superknowledge, every single one of the bodies enters
the Nirvana as both living and non-living of the disembodiment Nirvana until
reaching the very end of the disembodiment Nirvana, living Nirvana within the
living Nirvana, non-living Nirvana within the non-living Nirvana, as we reach
the very end, we enter the non-disembodiment Nirvana, living Nirvana within
living Nirvana, and non-living Nirvana within non-living Nirvana. Resting within the supernormal and powerful
samapatti to proceed more quickly. At
the same time, the human body rests within the refinement state further. Exercise the superknowledge within the furtherly
refined bodies to become cleaner and capable of catching up those who already reached
their refined bodies. Further the
perception, remembrance, thought, cognition, magnifier or wan, and
telescope or klong in order to look through all over. Exercise the superknowledge in the full scale
upon those refined ones. Take the Nirvana,
the Three Major Realms, and the lokanta hell realm to enter the Nirvana in the
same manner, so they can become clean in full scale in order to catch up with
those who are already in the refined state.
Proceed into the causation of spacious core (hed-saih-wang)
within the causation of spacious core (hed-saih-wang) of the perception,
remembrance, thought, and cognition, totally more refined until becoming the
living superknowledge (vijja-bhen) without regression but in manifold
even further, more and more.
