Former US president Bill Clinton turns to Buddhism
http://www.thebuddhism.net/2013/01/10/bill-clinton-turns-to-the-art-of-buddhist-meditation/
According to thebuddhism.net
news site, in an article dated January 10th, 2013, former US president
Bill Clinton has hired his own personal Buddhist monk to teach him how
to properly meditate. Bill is learning to meditate and has reportedly turned to a vegan diet as well.
All this change has apparently been influenced by his recent heart
scare where in February 2004 when he was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian
Hospital in New York City because he started experiencing some awful
chest pains. At that time, he had to have two coronary stents put into
his heart and a few months later, in September, he had to undergo
quadruple bypass heart surgery. In 2010 he then had a clogged artery
that the surgeons had to reopen which was his second heart operation in
five years.
He says that learning meditation helps him to relax,
which apparently stress is supposedly one of the biggest contributors
to this heart condition. He travels a lot and his job is highly
stressful, learning to meditate he learns to relax and says he is doing
much better after his two life changing decisions. He reportedly also
has a favorite mantra that he loves to chant when things get hectic and
says that is really does help him to relax and think more clearer. He
used to eat a lot of fast food apparently according to the news reports,
but now he has decided to give up all that and replace it with a lot of
fruits and vegetables with the occasional fish! Outstanding I say, we
need more govt. officials turning to healthy ways of life and Buddhist
meditations to relax and maybe our country would start looking up.

As 2010 and 2011
taught us, Buddhist meditation and healthier diets are starting to make
a trend with everyone. More and more people are seeing the benefits
that come from a life of relaxing meditation and eating healthier and
changing their lives. From Tiger Woods to Steve Jobs
(RIP) Buddhism is beginning to be seen in some very high places. It is
true meditation has a lifetime of relaxation and peace as well as health
with it. Everyone could benefit from the changes that Mr. Clinton has
made, and good for him. If you are interested in learning the art of
Buddhist meditation there are some great Kindle books here that are recommended for beginners.

Thus have I heard:
On one occasion, the Bhagavā was staying among the Kurus at Kammāsadhamma, a market town of the Kurus. There, he addressed the bhikkhus:
– Bhikkhus.
–
This, bhikkhus, is the path that leads to nothing but the purification
of beings, the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, the disappearance
of dukkha-domanassa ( Cessation of suffering- Nibbaṇa (Ultimate goal for eternal bliss), the attainment of the right way, the realization of Nibbāna (Ultimate goal for eternal bliss), that is to say the four satipaṭṭhānas(Fixing the attention, earnest meditation).
Which four? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body), ātāpī sampajāno (Ardent/ zealous/ strenuous/ active Knowing/ understanding conscious) satimā (Of retentive memory or active mind/ thoughtful/ reflecting) having given up abhijjhā-domanassa (Covetousness) towards the world. He dwells observing vedanā in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering in threshold of Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering) ātāpī sampajāno( Ardent/ zealous/ strenuous/ active Knowing/ understanding conscious), satimā(Of retentive memory or active mind/ thoughtful/ reflecting), having given up abhijjhā-domanassa ( Covetousness) towards the world. He dwells observing citta in citta (The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention in threshold of The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention), ātāpī sampajāno (Ardent/ zealous/ strenuous/ active Knowing/ understanding conscious), satimā (Of retentive memory or active mind/ thoughtful/ reflecting), having given up abhijjhā-domanassa (Covetousness) towards the world. He dwells observing dhamma·s in dhamma·s (and (dhammaṃ)Nature/ condition/ quality/ property/
characteristic; function/ practice/ duty; object/ thing/ idea/
phenomenon; doctrine; law; virtue/ piety; justice; the law or Truth of
the Buddha; the Buddhist scriptures; religion in threshold of and (dhammaṃ)Nature/ condition/ quality/ property/
characteristic; function/ practice/ duty; object/ thing/ idea/
phenomenon; doctrine; law; virtue/ piety; justice; the law or Truth of
the Buddha; the Buddhist scriptures; religion) ātāpī sampajāno (Ardent/ zealous/ strenuous/ active Knowing/ understanding conscious), satimā (Of retentive memory or active mind/ thoughtful/ reflecting), having given up abhijjhā-domanassa (Covetousness) towards the world.
I. Kāyānupassanā (Fixing the attention, earnest meditation)
religious exercises or meditations, by means of which samādhi (Agreement, peace, reconciliation; tranquillity, self-concentration, calm), jhāna (Meditation, contemplation; religious meditation or abstraction of the mind, mystic or abstract meditation, ecstasy, trance) and
the four Paths are attained. Each of these is based on a certain
formula or rite, also called kammaṭṭhānaṃ)
And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu dwell observing kāya in kāya
(the body in the threshold of the body)? Here, bhikkhus, a
bhikkhu, having gone to the forest or having gone at the root of a tree
or having gone to an empty room, sits down folding the legs crosswise,
setting kāya (body) upright, and setting sati parimukhaṃ (Recollection; active state of mind, fixing the mind
strongly upon any subject, attention, attentiveness, thought,
reflection, consciousness In front, before). Being
thus sato (Recollecting, mindful, attentive, thoughtful, conscious)he breathes in, being thus sato (Recollecting, mindful, attentive, thoughtful, conscious) he breathes out. Breathing in
long he understands: ‘I am breathing in long’; breathing out long he
understands: ‘I am breathing out long’; breathing in short he
understands: ‘I am breathing in short’; breathing out short he
understands: ‘I am breathing out short’; he
trains himself: ‘feeling the whole kāya (body), I will breathe in’; he trains
himself: ‘feeling the whole kāya (body), I will breathe out’; he trains
himself: ‘calming down the kāya-saṅkhāras (refering to body Constructing, preparing, perfecting, embellishing; aggregation; matter; karma ( Hail) ; the skandhas (own) , I will breathe in’; he trains
himself: ‘calming down the kāya-saṅkhāras (refering to body Constructing, preparing, perfecting, embellishing; aggregation; matter; karma ( Hail) ; the skandhas (own), I will breathe out’.
Just as, bhikkhus, a skillful turner or a turner’s apprentice, making a
long turn, understands: ‘I am making a long turn’; making a short turn,
he understands: ‘I am making a short turn’; in the same way, bhikkhus, a
bhikkhu, breathing in long, understands: ‘I am breathing in long’;
breathing out long he understands: ‘I am breathing out long’; breathing
in short he understands: ‘I am breathing in short’; breathing out short
he understands: ‘I am breathing out short’; he
trains himself: ‘feeling the whole kāya (body), I will breathe in’; he trains
himself: ‘feeling the whole kāya (body), I will breathe out’; he trains
himself: ‘calming down the kāya-saṅkhāras (refering to body Constructing, preparing, perfecting, embellishing; aggregation; matter; karma ( Hail) ; the skandhas (own), I will breathe in’; he trains
himself: ‘calming down the kāya-saṅkhāras (refering to body Constructing, preparing, perfecting, embellishing; aggregation; matter; karma ( Hail) ; the skandhas (own), I will breathe out’.
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, while walking, understands: ‘I am
walking’, or while standing he understands: ‘I am standing’, or while
sitting he understands: ‘I am sitting’, or while lying down he
understands: ‘I am lying down’. Or else, in whichever position his kāya (body) is disposed, he understands it accordingly.
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, while approaching and while departing,
acts with sampajañña (
Consciousness, intelligence), while looking ahead and while looking around, he
acts with sampajañña (Consciousness, intelligence), while bending and while stretching, he acts with
sampajañña (Consciousness, intelligence), while wearing the robes and the upper robe and while
carrying the bowl, he acts with sampajañña (Consciousness, intelligence), while eating, while
drinking, while chewing, while tasting, he acts with sampajañña (Consciousness, intelligence), while
attending to the business of defecating and urinating, he acts with
sampajañña (Consciousness, intelligence), while walking, while standing, while sitting, while
sleeping, while being awake, while talking and while being silent, he
acts with sampajañña (Consciousness, intelligence).
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu considers this very body, from the
soles of the feet up and from the hair on the head down, which is
delimited by its skin and full of various kinds of impurities: “In this kāya (body),
there are the hairs of the head, hairs of the body, nails, teeth, skin,
flesh, tendons, bones, bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura,
spleen, lungs, intestines, mesentery, stomach with its contents, feces,
bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, grease, saliva, nasal
mucus, synovial fluid and urine.”
Just as if, bhikkhus, there was a bag having two openings and filled
with various kinds of grain, such as hill-paddy, paddy, mung beans,
cow-peas, sesame seeds and husked rice. A man with good eyesight, having
unfastened it, would consider [its contents]: “This is hill-paddy, this
is paddy, those are mung beans, those are cow-peas, those are sesame
seeds and this is husked rice;” in the same way, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu
considers this very body, from the soles of the feet up and from the
hair on the head down, which is delimited by its skin and full of
various kinds of impurities: “In this kāya (body),
there are the hairs of the head, hairs of the body, nails, teeth, skin,
flesh, tendons, bones, bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura,
spleen, lungs, intestines, mesentery, stomach with its contents, feces,
bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, grease, saliva, nasal
mucus, synovial fluid and urine.”
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on this very kāya (body), however it is placed, however it is disposed: “In this kāya (body), there is the earth element, the water element, the fire element and the air element.”
Just as, bhikkhus, a skillful butcher or a butcher’s apprentice, having
killed a cow, would sit at a crossroads cutting it into pieces; in the
same way, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on this very kāya (body), however it is placed, however it is disposed: “In this kāya (body), there is the earth element, the water element, the fire element and the air element.”
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).

Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, one day dead, or two days dead or three
days dead, swollen, bluish and festering, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.”
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).

Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, being eaten by crows, being eaten by
hawks, being eaten by vultures, being eaten by herons, being eaten by
dogs, being eaten by tigers, being eaten by panthers, being eaten by
various kinds of beings, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.”
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).
(3)
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, a squeleton with flesh and blood, held
together by tendons, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.”
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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 kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body).
(4)
Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, a squeleton without flesh and smeared
with blood, held together by tendons, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.”
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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.

Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, a squeleton without flesh nor blood, held
together by tendons, he considers this very kāya (body): “This kāya (body) also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a condition.”
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body)internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya (the body in the threshold of the body) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya (Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena (sapindus detergens)in kāya (body), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena (sapindus detergens) in kāya (body); or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” 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.

Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body,
cast away in a charnel ground, disconnected bones scattered here and
there, here a hand bone, there a foot bone, here an ankle bone, there a
shin bone, here a thigh bone, there a hip bone, here a rib, there a back

II. Observation of Vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering)
And furthermore, bhikkhus, how does a bhikkhu dwell observing vedanā in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering in threshold of Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering)?
Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, experiencing a sukha vedanā(Having a feeling of ease or serenity Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering), undersands: “I am experiencing a sukha vedanā(Having a feeling of ease or serenity Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering),”; experiencing a dukkha vedanā(Cessation of suffering, nibbāṇa(ultimate goal for Eternal Bliss Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering)), undersands: “I am experiencing a dukkha vedanā(Cessation of suffering, nibbāṇa(ultimate goal for Eternal Bliss Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering))“; experiencing an adukkham-asukhā vedanā(ndifference, indifference to pain or pleasure, neither pleasant nor painful Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering), undersands: “I am experiencing a adukkham-asukhā vedanā(ndifference, indifference to pain or pleasure, neither pleasant nor painful Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering)”; experiencing a sukha vedanā sāmisa(Having a feeling of ease or serenity Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Having food), undersands: “I am experiencing a sukha vedanā sāmisa((Having a feeling of ease or serenity Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Having food)“; experiencing a sukha vedanā nirāmisa(Having a feeling of ease or serenity Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Free from worldly taint, disinterested, pureof doctrine), undersands: “I am experiencing a sukha vedanā nirāmisa(Having a feeling of ease or serenity Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Free from worldly taint, disinterested, pureof doctrine)“; experiencing a dukkha vedanā sāmisa(Cessation of suffering, nibbāṇa(Ultimate Goal for Eternal Bliss) Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Having food), undersands: “I am experiencing a dukkha vedanā sāmisa(Cessation of suffering, nibbāṇa(Ultimate Goal for Eternal Bliss) Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Having food)“; experiencing a dukkha vedanā nirāmisa(Cessation of suffering, nibbāṇa(Ultimate Goal for Eternal Bliss) Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Free from worldly taint, disinterested, pureof doctrine)), undersands: “I am experiencing a dukkha vedanā nirāmisa(Cessation of suffering, nibbāṇa(Ultimate Goal for Eternal Bliss) Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Free from worldly taint, disinterested, pureof doctrine))”; experiencing an adukkham-asukhā vedanā sāmisa(Indifference, indifference to pain or pleasure, neither pleasant nor painful Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Having food), undersands: “I am experiencing a adukkham-asukhā vedanā sāmisa(Indifference, indifference to pain or pleasure, neither pleasant nor painful Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Having food)”; experiencing an adukkham-asukhā vedanā nirāmisa(Indifference, indifference to pain or pleasure, neither pleasant nor painful Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Free from worldly taint, disinterested, pureof doctrine), undersands: “I am experiencing a adukkham-asukhā vedanā nirāmisa(Indifference, indifference to pain or pleasure, neither pleasant nor painful Feeling, sensation, perception; pain, suffering Free from worldly taint, disinterested, pureof doctrine)“.
Thus he dwells observing vedanā in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering in threshold of Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering) internally, or he dwells observing vedanā in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering in threshold of Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering) externally, or he dwells observing vedanā in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering in threshold of Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya(Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena(sapindus detergens) in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena(sapindus detergens) in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering), or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena(sapindus detergens) in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering); or else, [realizing:] “this is vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering)!” sati( Recollection; active state of mind, fixing the mind
strongly upon any subject, attention, attentiveness, thought,
reflection, consciousness) is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa(Knowledge) and mere paṭissati(Assent, promise), he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing vedanā in vedanā (Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering in threshold of Feeling/ sensation/ perception; pain/suffering).
III. Observation of Citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention)
And furthermore, bhikkhus, how does a bhikkhu dwell observing citta in citta (The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention in threshold of The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention)?

Thus he dwells observing citta in citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention in threshold of The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention) internally, or he dwells observing citta in citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention in threshold of The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention) externally, or he dwells observing citta in citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention in threshold of The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention) internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya(Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) of phenomena(sapindus detergens)in citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention), or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena(sapindus detergens) in citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention), or he dwells observing the samudaya(Rise, origin, commencement; origination, cause; multitude) and passing away ofphenomena(sapindus detergens) in citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention); or else, [realizing:] “this is citta(The heart; the mind; a thought, an idea; will/ intention)!” sati( Recollection; active state of mind, fixing the mind

“This, bhikkhus, is the path that leads to nothing but the purification
of beings, the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, the disappearance
of dukkha-domanassa(Cessation of suffering, nibbāṇa(Ultimate Goal for Eternal Bliss), the attainment of the right way, the realization of Nibbāna(Extinction; destruction, annihilation; annihilation of
being, nibbāṇa(Ultimate Goal for Eternal Bliss); annihilation of human passion, arhatship or final
sanctification), that is to say the four satipaṭṭhānas(Fixing the attention, earnest meditation).” Thus has it been said, and on the basis of all this has it been said.
Thus spoke the Bhagavā(Worshipful, venerable, blessed, holy. This word is generally used as an epithet or name of a Buddha, in particular, Sākyamuni). Delighted, the bhikkhus welcomed the words of the Bhagavā(Worshipful, venerable, blessed, holy. This word is generally used as an epithet or name of a Buddha, in particular, Sākyamuni).
Ānāpānassati
The practice of ānāpānassati is highly recommended by the
Buddha for all kinds of wholesome purposes. At AN 6.115 it is prescribed
as a remedy to ‘cetasa vikkhepa’ (mental confusion/disorder). At SN 54.8,
it is prescribed for various purposes, among which mastering the 8
jhānas and attaining saññā-vedayita-nirodhaṃ (cessation of saññā and
vedanā, taken as meaning Nirodha-samāpatti, a form of Nibbāna). At SN
54.13, it is stated that ānāpānassati brings the four satipaṭṭhānas to
their completion (paripūreti) and that Kāyānupassanā is practiced through the stages 2 and 3, Vedanānupassanā through stage 4, Cittānupassanā through stage 5 and Dhammānupassanā through stage 6.

Dhammapada Verse 354
The gift of truth excels all other gifts. Dhp.354
Verse 354. The Conquest Of All Suffering
Gift of Dhamma surpasses all gifts,
the Dhamma, its taste all other tastes beats,
delight in the Dhamma bests other delights,
destruction of craving conquers all ill.
Explanation: The gift of Dhamma excels all others gifts; the
taste of Dhamma excels all other tastes; delight in the Dhamma excels
all other delights. The eradication of craving overcomes all ills.
Verse 354: The gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts; the taste of the Dhamma
excels all tastes; delight in the Dhamma excels all delights. The eradication of
Craving (i.e., attainment of arahatship) overcomes all ills (samsara dukkha).
The Story of the Questions Raised by Sakka
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (354) of
this book, with reference to four questions raised by Sakka, king of the devas.On one occasion, at a meeting of the devas in the Tavatimsa realm, four
questions were raised, but the devas failed to get the correct answers.
Eventually, Sakka took these devas to the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery.
After explaining their difficulty, Sakka presented the following four questions:(a) Among gifts, which is the best?
(b) Among tastes, which is the best?
(c) Among delights, which is the best?
(d) Why is the eradication of craving said to
be the most excellent?To these questions, the Buddha replied, “Oh Sakka, the Dhamma is the
noblest of all gifts, the best of all tastes and the best of all delights.
Eradication of Craving leads to the attainment of arahatship and is, therefore,
the greatest of all conquests.”Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 354: The gift of tile Dhamma excels all gifts;
the taste of the Dhamma excels all tastes; delight in the Dhamma
excels all delights. The eradication of Craving (i.e., attainment of
arahatship) overcomes all ills (samsara dukkha).
At the end of the discourse, Sakka said to the Buddha, “Venerable Sir,
if the gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts why are we not invited to share the
merit whenever gifts of the Dhamma are made? Venerable Sir! I pray that, from
now on, we may be given a share in the merit of good deeds”. Then the
Buddha asked all the bhikkhus to assemble and exhorted them to share the merit
of all their good deeds with all beings.Since then, it has become a custom to invite all beings from the thirty-one
realms (bhumis) to come and share merit whenever a good deed is done.Albert Einstein
The
individual feels the nothingness of human desires and aims and the
sublimity and marvellous order which reveal themselves both in
nature and in the world of thought. He looks upon individual
existence as a sort of prison and wants to experience the universe
as a single significant whole, the beginnings of cosmic religious
feeling already appear in early stages of development - e.g. in
many of the Psalms of David and in some of the Prophets.
Buddhism, as
we have learnt from the wonderful writings of Schopenhauer
especially, contains much stronger elements of it. The religion of
the future will he a cosmic religion. It should transcend a
personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the
natural and the spiritual, it should he based on a religious sense
arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual
and a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If
there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs
it would be Buddhism.
One
of Einstein’s great insights was to realize that matter and
energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter
can be turned into energy, and energy into matter.
E= mc2
E=energy m=mass c=speed of light
The big bang was when energy became matter.Consider the Heart Sutra - Form is Emptiness -
