Summary of Luang Por Jamnian’s Vipassana Teaching for Dharma-Light Buddhist Institute, Taipei Buddhist Youth Group, and Taipei Veteran Hospital. The Noble Middle Way has 8 folds. Practicing by following the Buddha’s teachings of the Noble Eightfold Path, the 4 Foundation of Mindfulness , and contemplation of the five parts of the external body (the hair of the head, body hair, nails, teeth, and skin). All forms are continuously changing, subjected to decay and become non-existence. If we can let go of our clinging to our body, in other words, the notion of a self or personality, we then will only have to endure the repeated life and death cycles for no more than 7 times. We will certainly die some day, so do I [Luang Por]. Perhaps, you can seek for a miracle doctor or healer who can prevent you from dying. Let all of us know if you have found one. Nonetheless, if we can accept that birth, aging, sickness and death, are just the way they are supposed to be, then we will suffer less. To contemplate that no matter wherever or whichever realms we may be reborn into, we will also end-up dying. Unless we practice to train our mind, we will keep entering this birth and death cycle. Before the Bodhisattvas passed away, they collected the merits by helping others, sometime by saving lives. The past Buddhas, solitary Buddhas, as well as Arahants, had escaped the repeated cycles of death; never to be reborn. For common people like us, no one has yet to predict how many birth and death cycles we have to reenter. Someone can be greedy, wanting things or treasures from other people and managing to own those once the previous owner has passed away. But the person will die too, sooner or later. The treasures have been used up but the karma will sure follow that person everywhere. Follow the Noble Eightfold Path until you develop the pure knowing (pure consciousness) and the wisdom. Practice the 4-Foundation of mindfulness, seeing life as it truly is. No one can escape birth, aging, sickness and death. Q: How can someone practice loving kindness when having anger? A: Loving kindness is not associated with anger. Just follow the Buddha’s path. Take the Buddha as your refuge . See the pitfalls of anger. One should overcome anger by not getting angry. An angry person is driving him/herself toward calamity. Anger destroys us before it destroys others. Realize the pitfalls of it and let go of anger.
