Por Khao Wanchart once told me in Hong Kong that it is very rare for a group of people to be able to gather together to perform meritous acts, uphold the precepts, listen to the Dhamma, practice and so forth. It is a blessing if a group of people can group together to engage in these activities, as it is very difficult and rare for this to occur. 

Especially when some people are faced with dukkha, stress, kilesas such as greed, aversion and ignorance. By listening to the Dhamma and applying it, they can eliminate suffering, stress and kilesas such as attachment, aversion and ignorance and understand the path of Liberation, the path of eliminating suffering. 

This will enable the leader or the person who offered the space to practice to accumulate great merit. It will even give those who have listened to the Dhamma fhe opportunity to eliminate suffering and achieve liberation. 

Although the person who offered the area for our use was overseas, but he will still receive this merit. 

In fact, in the suttas, it is mentioned that Dana offerings made to six types of practitioners create great merit. 

    1. Those without attachment

    2.Those who are working hard at destroying attachment

    3.Those without aversion

    4.Those who are working hard at  destroying aversion

    5.Those without ignorance

    6.Those who are working hard at destroying ignorance

Por Khao shared that what is most important is to uphold the five precepts and practicing mindfulness of the breath, in conjuction with bud (for the in breath) and dho (for the out breath). Breathe comfortably. 

Once the mind converges into calmness, contemplate the impurities of the body. 

Understand in detail that the body is merely composed of impure substances. Then contemplate the nature of the body to be anicca. After which, understand the body to be suffering. After which, understand the body to be anatta. At the end, contemplate the overall nature of the body to be impure, anicca, dukkha, and anatta. 

When one is tired of contemplation, return back to the mindfulness of the breath with Buddho. When the mind has rested enough, go back and contemplate the impurity, anicca, dukkha and anatta nature of the body. 

If one practices like that continuously, one will eventually be liberated from all suffering. 

Anumodana Sadhu!

上次Por Khao Wanchart在香港說過(我大概分享),

一班人可以聚在一起行善,持戒,聞法,修行等是很難得,一班人的可以一起團聚聞法行善也是一件很困難不容易的事,但也是很殊勝,

又其當一些人有苦有壓力煩惱貪嗔痴,透過聞法實踐後,舒緩減少或去除了這些苦、壓力煩惱或貪嗔痴,而了解了滅苦解脫方法,

這使帶領者或供借場地使用人都累積了很大很多福德,且甚至造就了那些聽聞佛法的人更是有機會最終因此滅苦解脫。

也說借此場地者(那時有位香港居士供借場地給我們住宿用餐與大眾也可到此處聞法,但他人在外國)雖然身在外國,但也已得此福。

確實,在佛經中有提過佈施六種修行者有無量福報,

一是無貪,

二是正在努力去貪,

三是無嗔,

四是正在努力去嗔,

五是無痴,

六是正在努力去痴。

未期癌症白衣分享,最重要是持好最少五戒下,深深呼吸,覺知呼吸入時知呼吸入默念Bud ,呼吸出時知呼吸出默念dho, 保持呼吸舒暢,

心平靜後便多思維身體不淨,當詳細了解身體都是不淨物組合後,進一步是再細心多思維了解身體是無常,後才再進一步細心了解身體是苦,之後再進一步細心了解身體是無我,

最後才整體去思維身體是不淨,無常,苦,無我,

若思維累了又回來覺知呼吸Buddho,心平靜休息夠了又再思維身體不淨,無常,苦,無我,如此不斷反復修,便會漸使解脫一切苦。

隨喜大家!善哉!
