So what did the Buddha say?

Question from Subha

In early Buddhist scriptures, Subha, the son of an eminent Brahmin asks the Buddha why some people are rich while others are poor, why some are long-lived while some are short-lived and so on.

The Buddha responded:

Human beings are owners of their actions, heirs of their actions, they originate from their actions, are bound to their actions, have their actions as their refuge. It is action that distinguishes beings as inferior and superior.

Buddha was a great scientist

He spent 45 years teaching the Dhamma.

And along the way he has told us “the mechanics of how a human being are

put together”

PARTSPARTS of a chariot of a chariotSaid the BuddhaSaid the Buddha

In the Samyutta Nikaya, the Buddha was recorded as saying that just as the word ”chariot” existed on the basis of the various parts put together to form a chariot.

Similary, the concept of ”human being” exists when the five aggregates are bundle into one to form a man

Panca Kandhas

Mind (Nama)

TRUST WORTHY

TIP: Suffering is extinguished by relinquishing attachment to aggregates

Human being is made-up of 5 aggregates

1. Rupa - Body forms

2. Vinnana - Consciousness

3. Sanna - Perceptions and cognitions

4. Vedana - Feelings and sensations

5. Sankhara - Mental formation and volition

1. Rupa – Aggregate of matter

TIP: Rupa being the body is the easiest to be identified. Try pinching yourself

R U P A

2. Vinnana - Consciousness

TIP: Vinnana is a prerequisite for the arising of craving (tanha).

Eyes for sight

Nose for smell

Ears for hearing

Tongue for taste

Body for touch

The mind receives the information and this is where it is processed and respond according to your thoughts

The senses that we experiences goes to our mind where it is send to match with those in our memory bank.

Here, it recalls all the past memories and once the senses matches the past memories, we feet it's real and we recognise.

This feeling of "real" make us function as human being in the conventional world.

But in reality the "real" feeling is only a perception.

Now you see me. Now you don‘t

3. Sanna - Perceptions

Vedana

Sankhara are natural phenomena. They are our "thoughts" developed in our mind. These thoughts appeared and disappeared in our mind as long as we are a human being. This appearing and disappearing of thoughts happens at the speed of nano seconds. It is set in motion from the time we are born till the day we die.

This flow of thoughts is automatic and runs like a non-stop movie in our mind. We can’t prevent it from appearing or disappearing in our mind but we can halt-it temporarily when we need to concentrate on our work.

When we are thinking we are engaging our mind to focus on what we want it to concentrate. Here is where kamma is created. If you have good thoughts, you create good kamma and if have evil thoughts, bad kamma will follow.

5. Sankhara Mental formation

and volition

TIP: if one can understand such nature, then you can understand the working of Anicca

3 Characteristic of a human being

Anicca : Impermanent

Dukkha : Suffering

Anatta : Non-self

The goal of a Buddhist

The purpose of life…

Panna Naranam Ratanam – Wisdom is man’s precious Gem

•The goal of a Buddhist is to cultivate so that he could attainments wisdom, so he could see the truth.

•The Buddha spent many years educating and guiding monastic and lay communities so that people “can see the truth” for themselves.

– Digha Nikaya Sutta no. 11 “kalama sutta”

To educate ourselves, We have to do our

own experiments, trial and error and research

Kalama Sutta

• The Buddha’s chatter of free inquiry

• Ehi passiko (come and see)

• Welcoming careful examination at all stage of path to enlightenment

Like a gold smith, he do a test to see if it

is really gold – The Buddha

Six Methods:Visual Inspection, Bite Test, Magnet Test, Density Test, Ceramic Plate Test, Nitric Acid Test

How do we know what is good for

us?

Kalamas, when you yourselves know: "These things are good; these things are not blameable; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to benefit and happiness," enter on and abide in them.'
