Dhammotronics:
The Direct Mental Sensory
When we deepen our minds
into meditation and temporarily suspend the perceptions through our sense
organs which normally make us see, hear, smell, taste, and feel, our focused
minds can be liberated from mental hindrances and fetters to gain insight as well
as intuition competency. Our minds alone
can perform direct mental cognition through mental sensory similar to a plasma
sphere which responds to whatever comes across within the extent of
omniscience.

Dhammotronics: Piezoelectrict & Spiritual Energy
The spiritual energy exists all the time both within and surrounding us,
but we can’t perceive it because our mental sensory is not sensitive
enough. When we are awake, our minds keep
working on perceptions through what we see, hear, taste, smell, feel, and
think. As such, the on-going mental
activities make us unfocused enough to sense the spiritual energy. However, when we are asleep and our minds
enter the subconscious mode, our minds are not distracted by sensual perception
activities and enter the rest mode, then, our sixth sense widens up and we can
occasionally perceive or dream of the spiritual world, the dead, ghosts,
spirits, and angels.
When we make merit and the merit energy occurs, it resembles the
‘piezoelectrict’ found in quartz.
Piezoelectrict is a detectable mild electricity, and its nature is close
to the spiritual energy like merit energy and celestial beings. Although this kind of energy is mild in the
physical world, we can perceive it immenseness when entering the subconscious
or meditative state of mind. Moreover,
we can perceive the merit energy earned when doing good deeds because our
focused minds are more sensitive in sensoring the more refined electricity
while the bio-electro-mechanical activities involving sight, sound, smell,
taste, and feeling are temporarily suspended or narrowed down when we sleep or
meditate whereas the immaterial energy of dreaming itself can be weakly
detected despite of the more or less intensity we experience.
As such, meditators who can focus their minds are capable of utilising
their mental electric energy to direct the piezoelectrict in different minerals
like quartz for various benefits such as healing, psychic activities, intuition
enhancement, and insight empowering.

Karma as a Software of
the Existence
Operating on the ‘Heart
of the Existence’, Karma is an automated immaterial processing system that uses
its radio signal to calculate our past and present deeds to programme and
derive our DNAs and genes which are encapsulated within chromosomes in order to
control, fabricate, and shape our cells to be and not to be according to the
stored and carried on merit and sin energy which timely enforce and enable the saved
karmic programmes whereas their bio-electric functioning is headquartered at
the solar-plexus, and the bodily electric-activities are made possible by nerves
and electrolytes which exercise cells that form solid, liquid, temperature,
combustion, and space, to be well and/or unwell as perceivable by cognition, a
mechanism of living-sensory.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Faith & Wisdom in Buddhism
Faith is developed from sight, sound, smell, taste,
touch, and thought which are perceived and turned into appreciation or
depreciation towards a phenomena, whether good, neutral, or bad. Thus, faith fluctuates accordingly to the
incorporation of the aforesaid contributing factors, with an exception to the
Buddhist Saints whose faith in Buddhism and the Triple Gem remain steadfast
without regression. Thus, the emotional
experiences as vedana khanda which bring about faith can develop a very
powerful mental energy when the belief is exceptionally strong.
Wisdom occurs from knowledge and comprehension based
on the foundation of mindfulness. Its
functioning is like ‘processing’ of a computer program or ‘filtering’ of water
where logical procedures take place.
Hence, wisdom can be time-consuming with the characteristic of
vinnana khanda. However, if the
accumulated knowledge is adequate, one who gains expertise in comprehension
will be able to understand new additional knowledge and prosper wisdom at
ease.
Faith or Saddha can be divided into two major
categories as follows:
(1)
Faith which stems from fidelity over the experience
gained from sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and thought, which bring about
the emotional appreciation, confidence, and belief.
(2)
Faith which is developed from wisdom by way of
comprehending the knowledge from learning, thinking, and meditating. Thus, the wisdom enhances one to gain confidence
and belief.
The faith
from fidelity still relies on the conditioning of sight, sound, smell, taste,
touch, and thought, in order to make one satisfying and remaining
faithful. For example, when a noble monk
has good manner, the public feel faithful upon him, but when he loses his good
manner, the faith of his disciples may be weakened and depreciated.
The faith from wisdom stems from more
or less correct knowledge and understanding.
These form the rationality that leads to belief and confidence in such
belief. For example, when Buddhists study
Buddhism until having a good understanding about the Triple Gem and the roles
of Buddhist monks and lay people, they do not lose their faith when there is a
controversy over the monastic community because they still gain the same
benefit from practicing Buddhism which makes them understand that the worldly
monks are also subject to change, suffering, and non-self.

The Story of Dhamma
Suriya Emblem
The
Dhamma Chawala Emblem is the first emblem that inspired Pirajak to create
another emblem for himself as the Dhamma Chawala Emblem would become the formal
logo of www.meditation101.org.
In the beginning, Pirajak had drawn the Dhamma Suriya
Emblem as inspired by his own will. There were three drawings which partially
resemble each other. The first one has the clockwise swirling in the middle.
The second one has the star in the middle. The
third one looks like the first and the second one but finished with surrounding
bladed discus.
After pondering,
Pirajak chose the one with clockwise swirling in the middle which shows that
the Dhamma Suriya Emblem is in-line to the Dhamma Chawala Emblem. Then, he had
Mr. Sarawut doing the computer graphic design.
The
Dhamma Suriya Emblem is more complicated than the Dhamma Chawala Emblem, but
they share the common core value which is the clockwise swirling in the middle.
Next to the middle, there is a solid circle with eight solid lines of ray. This
symbolises the radiating sun, followed by the overlapping eight blooming lotus
petals which connote the Dhamma and loveliness. Each lotus petal has a star in
the middle to reflect the strength of virtues including magga and phala or path
and fruition in Buddhism. Finally, there are lines of glorious radiation which make
the emblem look like the elegant insignia that can be deemed as a big star
where a sun is hidden within.
Altogether,
the Dhamma Suriya Emblem reflects the Buddhahood which yields the grace of
Dhamma as powerfully spreading to all directions by virtue of both strength and
loveliness.
Presently,
the Dhamma Suriya Emblem has become the personal emblem of Pirajak, and it is
used in every occasion to represent Pirajak when he makes charitable donations
and generous contributions.

The Story of
Dhamma Chawala Emblem
The Dhamma
Chawala Emblem which is the iconic emblem of www.meditation101.org was
originally designed by Pirajak Suwapatdecha (formerly Pittaya Tisuthiwongse)
and graphicallly computerised by Mr. Sarawut, a professional Thai graphic
designer
The emblem
resembles the ‘fire ball of omniscience’ which Theravadian Buddhist artisans
usually add to the top of Buddha statues to symbolise the Lord Buddha’s
outstanding wisdom and omniscience power.
In addition
to the shape of a fireball, Pirajak adds the swirl in the middle which looks
like the clockwise encircling of the conch, one of the eight sacred symbols of
Tibetan Buddhism.
Also, the
clockwise swirling from outside towards the middle connotes ‘the righteousness’
of wisdom and ‘the middle way’ in term of Vijja Meditation.
Moreover, the
swirling represents the Lord Buddha’s insignia hair line which normally appears
on the forehead of every Lord Buddha as the symbol of grace.
Formerly, the
Dhamma Chawala Emblem was the personal emblem of Pirajak, but after he built
the www.meditation101.org, he decided to make Dhamma Chawala Emblem the formal
brand of his website in order to reflect the work and mission in sharing the
knowledge and wisdom from Vijja Meditation and Dhamma practice to people of the
world at no cost.

The Material & Immaterial Linkage of Our Human Body
Some may doubt my
explanation in Dhammotronics that merit energy is like electricity and the mind
can still be at work the our brain stop functioning. Today, I would like to clarify further based
on my Dhammotronic approach by referring to my earlier claim that, one day,
when scientific technology is more advanced, we will discover the ‘linkage’
between the material and spiritual world.
To explain, as our brain functions
electrically, the electricity in our brain cannot function by itself, but it
relies on the bio-chemical electricity process.
When our brain is dead, the electricity, consequently, stops working.
Likewise, when we are to explain the centre of our body
where the refined human body or spirit is located, the spirit is locked to the
physical human body with the ‘immaterial circuit board of elements’ comprising
of the solid, the liquid, the combustion, the heat, the air, and the
cognition. When the immaterial circuit
board of elements faces with the mishappening such as illness, aging, and death,
the mishappening affects the physical human body directly in the same way that
the bio-chemical electricity affects the brain’s functioning causing migraine or
else. In addition, when the immaterial
circuit board of elements is damaged or become out of order, it can no longer
lock the refined human body or spirit to the physical human body. Thus, the spirit leaves the human body
permanently, and the physical human body can no longer have cognition. This phenomena is how we can explain ‘death.’
However, the immaterial circuit board of elements at the
centre of our body can control the solid element, liquid element, combustion
element, heat element, and air element all over within our human body in the
same way that electricity works in our brain.
This is possible with the ‘linkage’ between the material and the
immaterial. Physically, we call the
immaterial part of the circuit board of elements as the ‘solar plexus’ which is
the centre of our physical nerves conjoining together within our abdomen.
We can conclude that our cognition element which is a part
of our mind as well as all other immaterial or celestial components such as the
sphere of merit energy, the sphere of sin energy, and the refined human body or
spirit, are altogether placed and locked within the centre of our body where
their functioning is linked to the solar plexus which is the material
part. When the immaterial elements at
the immaterial circuit board are contaminated, polluted, or damaged, it can
affect the physical body as it is transmitted via the solar plexus which
connects the whole bio-chemical electricity system of our human body. This is how we can explain how the material
and immaterial can conjoin to form illness, aging, and death.
As for the refined human body or spirit, celestial body, Brahma
body, and Arupa-Brahma body which rest within each other at the centre of body,
they also have the immaterial circuit board of elements which are more refined
respectively that lock each other in the same manner as the physical human
body.

The
Three Trainings in Practice
(1A) The ‘righteous wisdom’ or Samma-Panna occurs
when the right view & intent stem from knowledge & understanding.
(1B) The ‘unrighteous wisdom’ occurs when the
wrong view & intent stem from knowledge & understanding.
(2) Sila or ‘moral discipline’ means our
thought, speech, and action are both righteous (the 10 wholesome course of
action) & unwrongful (the 10 unwholesome course of action).
(3) Samadhi or ‘mental concentration’ means
our mind is effortedly balanced, consistently mindful, and concentratedly
focused until reaching mental unification.

The Six Mental Spheres in Dhammakaya Meditation
By Pirajak S. (Pittaya Wong)
30 August 2019
What is the Dhamma Sphere?
The Dhamma Sphere is the mental sphere which nourishes the corresponding
body, e.g. the Dhamma sphere of human body nourishes the human body while the
Dhamma sphere of celestial body nourishes the celestial body. The Dhamma sphere is enhanced by the Sila
Sphere, Samadhi Sphere, Panna Sphere, Vimutti Sphere, and Vimuttinanadassana
Sphere, and all other contributing factors.
Thus, the function of Dhamma sphere is like the main station which directly
empowers the corresponding body. When
one’s Dhamma sphere is gloomy, one’s life regresses. On the contrary, when one’s
Dhamma sphere is bright and shiny, one’s life prospers.
What is the Sila Sphere?
The Sila Sphere or the Sphere of Morality is the mental sphere of
Dhamma quality which motivates one’s sub-consciousness as well as awareness in
keeping up with morality mentally, verbally, and physically. In general, the Sila Sphere helps
keeping clean of one’s mind, speech, and action. The sub-consciousness or awareness of
morality is made possible by the Sila Sphere in the form of ‘preference’
or ‘inclination.’ When the mental
preference of morality or Sila arises in deep meditation, it becomes Adhi-Sila
or the mental state of superb morality.
What is the Samadhi Sphere?
The Samadhi Sphere or the Sphere of Concentration is the mental sphere
which empowers one’s mind to remain calm against mental hindrances. When this mental quality arises in deep
meditation, it is called Adhi-Citta or the mental state of superb
concentration.
What is the Panna Sphere?
The Panna Sphere or the Sphere of Wisdom is the mental sphere of
Dhamma quality that allows our mind to be wise in comprehending the Dhamma as
well as all other knowledge correctly, more or less. When this mental quality arises in deep
meditation, it becomes Adhi-Panna or the mental state of superb wisdom.
What is Vimutti Sphere?
The Vimutti Sphere is the mental sphere which contains the Dhamma
quality that enables one’s mind to be freed from defilements, so called the
mental liberation.
What is Vimuttinanadassana Sphere?
The Vimuttinanadassana Sphere is the mental sphere which enables
the state of self-realisation that one is already freed or liberated from
defilements.
According to Dhammakaya Meditation, practitioners start from the
attainment of Dhamma Sphere, followed by Sila Sphere (morality), Samadhi
Sphere (concentration), Panna Sphere (wisdom), Vimutti Sphere
(liberation), and Vimuttinanadassana Sphere (realisation of liberation),
respectively. When one is more wisdom-driven,
one achieves Panna Vimutti or wisdom driven liberation. When one is more concentration-driven, one
achieves Ceto Vimutti or the mental concentration liberation. However, the aforesaid Dhamma spheres are not
a meditation objects or nimitta, but they are the mental spheres which
contain Dhamma qualities similar to the mental spheres described in the higher
Dhamma or Abhidhamma.
Who is
the ‘Healing Transcendroid’?
To explain this, it is necessary to firstly give the
general idea that humans live their lives under the operation of the Law of
Karma which is like the software that supervises the living and on-going of
humans. When a human commits sinful
deeds, the Immaterial Unwholesome Machine of Element & Essence, which
functions like the unwholesome computer server of the universe, will process
and calculate the inputs namely the mental, verbal, and physical misdeeds based
on its software or the Law of Karma Program.
Then, the Immaterial Unwholesome Machine of Element & Essence will
produce the outputs which are the karmic programs to be installed and sin energy
to be transmitted to the responsible human body, and vice versa for the
Immaterial Wholesome Machine of Element & Essence. Thereafter, when the programmed karma works
as energized by the stored sin energy, it causes various forms of sufferings to
the responsible human such as illness.
We can conclude that illness is a kind of karmic program (like a computer
virus) that malfunctions and harms the human body.
A Healing Transcendroid is a celestial droid or kayasiddhi
whom the creator such as the specialized Medicine Buddha created and/or
acquired and installed healing programs which can solve the programmed karmic illness
created and transferred to a responsible human body by the Immaterial
Unwholesome Machine of Element & Essence.
In addition, the Healing Transcendroid is like a celestial AI who can
work with a meditation practitioner to provide healing to the practitioner
himself and others. We can compare the
Healing Transcendroid to the anti-virus program of our human body who can work
either customly or automatically. In
return, the creator of healing Transcendroid earns merit or benefit in exchange
for the creation.
