Kathaṃ ca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu citte cittānupassī viharati? |
And furthermore, bhikkhus, how does a bhikkhu dwell observing citta in citta? |
|
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sa·rāgaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘sa·rāgaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, vīta·rāgaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘vīta·rāgaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, sa·dosaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘sa·dosaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, vīta·dosaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘vīta·dosaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, sa·mohaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘sa·mohaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, vīta·mohaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘vīta·mohaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, saṅkhittaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘saṅkhittaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, vikkhittaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘vikkhittaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, mahaggataṃ vā cittaṃ ‘mahaggataṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, a·mahaggataṃ vā cittaṃ ‘a·mahaggataṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, sa·uttaraṃ vā cittaṃ ‘sa·uttaraṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, an·uttaraṃ vā cittaṃ ‘an·uttaraṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, samāhitaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘samāhitaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, a·samāhitaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘a·samāhitaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, vimuttaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘vimuttaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti, a·vimuttaṃ vā cittaṃ ‘a·vimuttaṃ cittaṃ’ ti pajānāti. |
Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu understands citta with rāga as “citta with rāga“, or he understands citta without rāga as “citta without rāga“, or he understands citta with dosa as “citta with dosa“, or he understands citta without dosa as “citta without dosa“, or he understands citta with moha as “citta with moha“, or he understands citta without moha as “citta without moha“, or he understands a collected citta as “a collected citta“, or he understands a scattered citta as “a scattered citta“, or he understands an expanded citta as “an expanded citta“, or he understands an unexpanded citta as “an unexpanded citta“, or he understands a surpassable citta as “a surpassable citta“, or he understands an unsurpassable citta as “an unsurpassable citta“, or he understands a concentrated citta as “a concentrated citta“, or he understands an unconcentrated citta as “an unconcentrated citta“, or he understands a liberated citta as “a liberated citta“, or he understands an unliberated citta as “an unliberated citta“. |

Iti ajjhattaṃ vā citte cittānupassī viharati, bahiddhā vā citte cittānupassī viharati, ajjhatta-bahiddhā vā citte cittānupassī viharati; samudaya-dhamm·ānupassī vā cittasmiṃ viharati, vaya-dhamm·ānupassī vā cittasmiṃ viharati, samudaya-vaya-dhamm·ānupassī vā cittasmiṃ viharati; ‘atthi cittaṃ’ ti vā pan·assa sati paccupaṭṭhitā hoti, yāvadeva ñāṇa·mattāya paṭissati·mattāya, a·nissito ca viharati, na ca kiñci loke upādiyati. Evam·pi kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu citte cittānupassī viharati. |
Thus he dwells observing citta in citta internally, or he dwells observing citta in citta externally, or he dwells observing citta in citta internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya of phenomena in citta, or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in citta, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena in citta; or else, [realizing:] “this is citta!” sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing citta in citta. |

Verse 280. The Lazy Miss The Path
Though time to strive, not striving,
while young and strong yet indeed,
weak-minded and irresolute:
one finds not wisdom’s way.
Explanation: If an individual does not make
an effort even at a time when exertion is due, if a person is lethargic
even when he is young and strong; if a person suppresses the wholesome
thoughts that arise in his mind, if he is lazy, he will not find the path
to wisdom.
Dhammapada Verse 280
Padhanakammikatissatthera Vatthu
Utthana kalamhi anutthahano
yuva bali Alasiyam upeto
samsanna sankappamano kusito
pannaya maggam alaso na vindati.
Verse 280: The idler who does not strive when he should be striving, who
though young and strong is given to idleness, whose thoughts are weak and
wandering, will not attain Magga Insight which can only be perceived by wisdom.
The Story of Thera Tissa the Idle One
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (280) of
this book, with reference to Tissa, a lazy bhikkhu.
Once, five hundred young men were admitted into the Order by the Buddha in
Savatthi. After receiving a subject of meditation from the Buddha, all the new
bhikkhus except one went to the forest to practise meditation. They practised
zealously and vigilantly so that in due course all of them attained arahatship.
When they returned to the monastery to pay homage to him, the Buddha was very
pleased and satisfied with their achievement. Bhikkhu Tissa who stayed behind
did not try hard and therefore achieved nothing.
When Tissa found that the relationship between the Buddha and those bhikkhus
was very cordial and intimate, he felt rather neglected, and regretted that he
had wasted all that time. So he resolved to practise meditation throughout the
night. As he was walking in meditation on that night, he slipped and broke a
thigh bone. Other bhikkhus hearing his cry went to help him. On hearing about
the above incident the Buddha said, “Bhikkhus, one who does not strive
when he should be striving but idle away his time will not attain mental
absorption (jhana) and Magga Insight.”
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
| Verse 280: The idler who does not strive when he should be striving, who though young and strong is given to idleness, whose thoughts are weak and wandering, will not attain Magga Insight which can only be perceived by wisdom. |

Obon Festival 2012 – Ekoji Buddhist Temple, Fairfax Station, VA – Saturday, July 14, 2012…
DC Metro Filipino-American Group
Ekoji Buddhist Temple is celebrating its
31st Obon Festival on Saturday, July 14 at 5:30 p.m. with a full-evening
of activities including traditional Japanese folk dancing, a memorial
candle ceremony, children’s games and a taiko performance by Nen Daiko.
Obon, or Bon, is a time of remembrance for our parents, grandparents and
those who have come before us; it is a time to express our gratitude
for all they have done for us, and for the interconnectedness of our
lives.
The first video shows a group dance. I
participated last year at the one in Ekoji. Sure I looked terrible but
it was a lot of fun with friends. The second video shows the taiko drum
performance they do every year. The last video
THE PENNY-WISE MONKEY
[30]
| O |

NCE upon a time the king of a large and rich country
gathered together his army to take a far-away little country.
![[Illustration]](http://www.mainlesson.com/books/babbitt/morejataka/zpage031.gif)
The king and his soldiers marched all morning long
and then went into camp in the forest.
When they fed the horses they gave them some peas to eat.
One of the Monkeys living in the forest saw the peas
and jumped down to get some of them.
He filled his mouth and hands with them,
and up into the tree he went again, and sat down to eat the peas.
As he sat there eating the peas,
one pea fell from his hand to the ground.
At once the greedy Monkey dropped all the peas
he had in his hands, and ran down to hunt for the lost pea.
But he could not find that one pea. He climbed up into his tree again,
and sat still looking very glum.
“To get more, I threw away what I had,” he said to himself.
The king had watched the Monkey,
and he said to
him- [32] self: “I will not be like this foolish Monkey,
who lost much to gain a little. I will go back to my own country
and enjoy what I now have.”
So he and his men marched back home.
