The Teachings of Ajahn Suchart.

"This is the truth."
Here, we only teach about the heart because the heart is important. The heart is the knower, but the heart does not know the heart. The problem lies here because it is dominated by delusion, so it does not know the truth, knows right from wrong, and creates problems for itself. No one knows when delusion arises or how. Even the Lord Buddha does not know. It is attached to every mind. Delusion has ignorance as its master.
Ignorance, conditions, and formations.
Ignorance is the one who dominates the mind, the one who orders the mind to think in the wrong way, to think in the unreal way. He once went back to his past life to find the root of ignorance, when it appeared, but there was no root. No matter how far back he went, ignorance was always with his mind. It is strange that there is a person like the Lord Buddha who has the wisdom and intelligence to see through this delusion because delusion also dominates the Lord Buddha's mind. But he was able to see that this ignorance itself is the problem. Very few people can see for themselves that this mind is dominated by ignorance, delusion, and ignorance. If it were someone else, they would have to rely on hearing and listening.
Therefore, there are very few Lord Buddhas when compared to the Arahant disciples.
There is only one Lord Buddha, but there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of Arahant disciples. Because the person who will become a Buddha must be the best, the pinnacle of wisdom.
Therefore, it is our good fortune and merit to be born during the period when there were the Buddha’s teachings, which would lead us to escape from this delusion. If we were born in an era when there were no Dharma teachings, we would not have the opportunity to raise our heads from the dominance of ignorance, delusion, and delusion. At most, we could only attain Jhana and Samadhi. For example, the two teachers of the Buddha who died before the Buddha appeared, so no one taught them about ignorance and how to extinguish ignorance and delusion.
Therefore, they could only attain Jhana, Rupa Jhana, and Arupa Jhana, which are at the level of Samadhi, but did not yet attain wisdom or supramundane Dhamma or Vipassana knowledge, which would see the cause of the cycle of rebirth and suffering, which is caused by ignorance, delusion, and delusion that dominated the mind. The Buddha regretted that the two teachers had passed away before he became enlightened as the Buddha, so they would not receive any benefits. If they had lived for just another 7 days or just one more day, and had heard the Buddha’s teachings, how to be free, they would have been able to be freed because they had enough merit, morality, and Samadhi, but lacked wisdom. Developing wisdom will not be difficult if there is morality and concentration to support it. When you speak a single word, you will understand immediately.
As in the first sermon, when he taught the Pancavaggiya monks, he taught only one section.
Venerable Anya Kondañña had the eye to see the truth, saw the arising and passing away of all things as natural. Any dharma that arises as natural will naturally pass away as natural. He understood that this was the principle of truth, so he would not cling to or be attached to things. He would not be sad or grieved when things passed away or died, when the body died, because he knew that it was natural.
