The Supreme Teacher
Theta Pati The Supreme Teacher is our own EVALUATION, described & explained by the Buddha & His Sangha. — The Teaching can be found in the Suttas and its basis is made by peace of mind coming from Mindfulness, that allows right Evaluation. Right Evaluation means that Discernment grows and Wisdom increases. Knowing how things really are takes to more Mindfulness and deeper Concentration, that, together, take to better Discernment. As anyone can see, the Effort in the practice is personal, a Teacher only points the way, explains how to walk that way, how to overcome obstacles found on it and what its result is. From our side we must be keen to learn and eager to understand what needs to be done for increasing the level of our knowledge, because Wisdom defeats Ignorance and sets us free. Thoughts create moods and mental fermentations leading to craving and to clinging or attachment. Thoughts have Intention as their origin and happiness as their Cause, that is why one needs Evaluation, because it allows to examine each thought and to understand if right or its truth. What truth? As Intention, if the thought is useful for our progress on the Noble Path. & As Cause, if the thought leads to a temporary happiness or to the supreme unshaking happiness of the Heart. This is the main distinction to personally always evaluate and then understand about each thought, because this distinction makes us abandon unuseful or harmful thoughts linked to the world and makes us see, choose & stick only to thoughts based on useful Intentions & Causes (taking to positive results), that need to be found and developed. One can learn from the Suttas like from a Teacher, however, one also has to look for their right explanation from different Monks. But in order to understand what? In order to understand at what step one is, what needs to be done and how to do it in order to progress smoothly and rightly, without jumping too high or too low, when not yet ready. In other words, we are the Teachers of ourselves, there is no other Teacher. However, we need to know what & how to evaluate and to know as beneficial and what & how to avoid or uproot as not beneficial, for our own progress on the Spiritual Path. That is what Teacher means, that we look for and find specific explanations from others practicing the same path, letting us clearly understand what we have to do and how. So, the Teachers can be found mainly in Suttas or in Monks, because they teach and show us how to become Teachers of ourselves in different ways, our task is to find & learn from them the more suitable way for us and for our own nature to overcome any difficulty through right discerning evaluation and through the wisdom coming from it. My suggestion is to concentrate all efforts in mindfulness and in keeping the mind in peace from any thought, this is the basis. Living in the present moment with a mind aware of its peace from thoughts is the result. A mind in peace can understand better and deeper, because Evaluation increases with the Concentration based on mindfulness. And when Impermanence is constantly evaluated and clearly found in anything, then changement is understood as the illusion and it is then found in everything. When the illusion is seen and understood, then stopping any clinging & craving for it becomes natural, as result the usual worldly happiness, that each of us looks for or craves for or clings to, it becomes fake, because clearly understood as the illusion that it is, since only & always based on the unwished changement and, then, void of any real fixed self. While the peace of mind itself becomes and it is understood as the unshakable real happiness, because not changing until a higher one is achieved through wisdom. We are all Teachers… The ones making us better evaluate ‘reality’ are Teachers, even if they do not teach something and just question us, because if their questions or actions lead to our better understanding of what or how to train in, then they become our Teachers. The real Teacher is our own Evaluation, at the beginning and in the middle and at the end, but in order to increase it we need external Teachers explaining or letting us understand how to do it. With Mudita, wishing to everyone to be aware and to increase Mindfulness & own Evaluation, leading both to the Truth and to Wisdom. đâ¤ď¸đ EmailViews: 0
The 3 Eternal Lights of the Heart
Theta Pati The 3 LIGHTS of the Heart — This universe is made of the 6 Worlds of Samsara, with its Devas and Maras, it is based both on the 4 elements, originated from the nothingness, and on changement, that is why everything can be clearly seen just as an illusion, not real because without a self and always born from causes or conditions, only taking to Delusion or Dukkha. This universe, where the Truth or Dhamma is so rare to appear, it is a prison made by the own Ignorance and by the cravings coming from it, that only take to the Delusion of the expectations for any type of ‘own’ happiness. In this universe there are 3 LIGHTS, not born from causes or conditions and never changing nor finishing : 1st Loving Kindness or Metta, taking to unity and to overcome division or any difference through purity of Heart 2nd Wisdom or Panna of the Heart , the one that, when rightly trained, can defeat Ignorance, overcoming in this way the 6 lower Worlds of Samsara for reaching one of the 4 Higher Worlds or Nibbana. 3rd the Dhamma, also called the only never changing Law of this universe, saying : “everything changes”, where Impermanence or Anicca and Not-Self or Anatta can be found. Because the Self cannot be found in anything inside this universe, any idea of Self is an illusion, since only and always based on both Dependent Origination or Karma and on continuous changement. Once the Self is understood as untrue, then the Not-Self can be discerned and used to overcome samsara through its unchanging Law and Truth, i.e. the Dhamma, that is only available when a Buddha appears and during His Dhamma-Wheel turning. This is my humble view of illusion and of reality… With Mudita i hope it may help others too, above all in taking the right decision and follow the only 3 real things in this universe. EmailViews: 0
The 10 ways to Enlightment
Theta Pati ENLIGHTMENT… & The 10 WAYS for achieving it… — There are 10 worlds or planes of existence, the first 6 are in samsara, while the other 4 are above it and without rebirth, that is why they are also called the deathless. How can one get to those 4 upper worlds void of any suffering caused by rebirth ? From my humble understanding there are different possibilities, according to each one’s nature and/or karma and/or right view/effort/resolve : 1. Listening to a Dhamma talk on the 4 Noble Truths (Stream-Entry) 2. Understanding the Dhamma through the right evaluation of Anatta (Dhamma-Eye) 3. Training rightly in the 4 foundations of mindfulness (Samadhi-Bhavana) 4. Using right discernment of the Dhamma, i.e. : Sampajanna (Khippabinna) 5. Achieving any of the 4 Noble States through absorption or the liberation of heart (Brahmavihara-Bhavana) 6. Right resolve/resolution concerning the future, both in human life as wife/son of a next Buddha for example or willingly choosing one of the upper worlds destinations (i.e. : Arahant, Bodhisattva, Buddha) 7. Visiting Thusita and choosing it as next destination after the present human existence (Bodhisattva) 8. Hiding from karma by its understanding/seed and by the right handling of intentions, in order not to be seen anymore by both Mara and Yama after human death (being Astute) 9. Empathy based on gratitude, kind love and compassion, opening the gates of the spiritual path (Monks & Savakas) 10. Boundless love, overcoming duality and any conceit linked to a self (Pacekkabuddhas) In my very limited knowledge, each one of the above 10 WAYS is valid/effective for ending forever the suffering of Samsara. The only difference is the time needed in achieving the goal, if in the present exsistence or if more rebirths are needed. Anyone seeing & wishing to end the suffering of Samara, should choose the one matching more his own nature, in order to step on ‘the path of the unshakable happiness’. đâ¨đ EmailViews: 0
What Meditation means
Theta Pati There are 3 purposes for Samadhi-Bhavana or MEDITATION : 1st to gain direct experience (Panna) of each Element (Dhatu) as one & the same and limitless & timeless through Absorptions on the 4 Brahmavihara, on the 4 Rupa and on the 4 Arupa Jahnas, with the 5th one as ‘Cessation’; 2nd to overcome the 3 Tanha linked to sensations & thoughts, doubts & fears, conceit & consciousness, through their right evaluation according to the Dhamma (Vipassana), taking to the relevant disenchantment & dispassion for them because seen as changing or as conditioned (Dukkha); 3rd another valid reason, that probably not many can fully understand, is visiting Thusita in Samadhi, in order to make it become next destination after death (Bodhisattvas or Sammasambuddha Path). Any other Element or Plane of existence should be considered irrilevant for the achievemt of the final goal or even a danger, since taking time & effort away from what it is really needed for ending the suffering of Samsara forever. đâ¤ď¸đ EmailViews: 1
The Knower
Theta Pati THE KNOWER — At start the ‘knower’ may be identified with some kind of entity or someone going through the process of knowing. But who is this someone ? This someone is the mind. Is the mind ours ? Yes or, better, we think so, because having a perception of it based on individuality, separation, difference and duality. But when the truth is seen through wisdom, then the mind becomes one with everything and any link to a self disappears, it cannot be identified with me, I or mine. How can a mind, that is everything, be identified with anything like a self ? That is not possible, so, when understanding the not-self or the mind, then the self or the mind disappears, in the same way like understanding the knower as not self, not us, not ours, then, the knower disappears. In order to know anything, one needs to examine it through right evaluation and the best or deeper way is surely through both samadhi-bhavana and sampajanna, both allowing to experience directly and to discern rightly between what is real or it is illusion, between what changes & finishes or it is eternal, between what seen as limitied or it is limitless, between what seen as self, linked to causes and conditions, or what it is the real self, that exists without them, but that it is totally hidden & imprisoned by them. The knower is neither a being nor an entity and it is not linked to any self. The knower is the result of a cause, i.e. understanding both what real suffering is and the escape from it. The knower rises through a wisdom based on virtue, that cleans the heart from the evil done in countless previous lives and sets us free from their endless consequences, allowing each of us to end any suffering forever, because trascending changement or impermanence. Wisdom, made as the cause, defeats ignorance, the true enemy, as the result. Why a cause is needed? Because, still being in samsara, we still need to use cause & result, but, when using them in the only right way, that is understanding the Dhamma of the Buddhas, then, any cause can be trascended and ended. For example, one makes a mistake based on ignorance, thinking that he made the mistake, assuming that ignorance is inside him, identifying himself as the cause. But ignorance, like wisdom or suffering or happiness or anything else, it is not something that one owns, it is outside each of us, in fact, it is because outside of us, that anyone can make it increase or decrease at will. The knower looks at things and uses the right evaluation process to see their true nature. We all start from the same point, that is the illusion to be someone or a self or a knower or a cause, but the more wisdom increases and the more comes the understanding of our own timeless and limitless nature. In other words, when understanding to be everything, how can anyone be classified as a self or as someone or as an entity or as a knower or as a cause? When the not-self is understood as everything, then the knower disappears and wisdom takes his place. This means that, when the knower understands the truth, then, that truth made of wisdom trascends the knower and the knower becomes just the all-inclusive wisdom or the pure truth. In the same way with each element, for example pure universal Metta trascends any love linked to an entity or a self, in the same way Karuna with compassion, in the same way going through past lives with self-consciousness and so on. The knower is pure wisdom, not linked to me or to you or to a self or to a consciousness, because wisdom it is not a learning process like the one of the world, that we may forget because linked to an entity or to a being or to a self. Once wisdom increases, it cannot be forgotten, it cannot dicrease and its result is always an increased wellness, that may be called unshakable neverending happiness, born from overcoming or trascending the suffering based on ignorance and duality. This is what & how i see & have understood the ‘knower’ and what i think useful to share, based on the little i got to know. đ đâ¤ď¸đ Theta-Pati EmailViews: 6

Happiness & Suffering
Theta Pati “Ask yourself… ‘What exactly does my HAPPINESS depend on?’ Normally, people will allow their happiness to depend on a whole lot of conditions. And the more you think about those conditions, the more you realize that they’re totally beyond your control: the economy, the climate, the political situation, the continued beating of certain hearts, the stability of the ground beneath your feet, all of which are very uncertain. So what do you do? You learn to look inside.Try to create a sense of wellbeing that can come simply with being with the breath. Even though this isn’t the total cure, it’s the path toward the cure.” ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu“Fears” Meditations1 — Good question, let me evaluate it too and share it with others… Having discerned any wordly happiness as changing with delusion and depending on conditions based on ignorance… How can I cling to it ?How can i crave for it ?How can i consider it real ? Happiness is not different from suffering, both give results involving the 6 senses and they can be both perceived as pleasing or unpleasing, it only depends on the individual view or habit and on the clinging to it as a craving. However, worldly suffering is felt as real by most and it affects many in different ways, unless the mind is duly trained with aware mindfulness and discernment based on right evaluation. Then, most do not know how to train or are not in the conditions to understand and suffering becomes the main problem in their life. Understanding the nature of suffering, it also means to see its root, that is ignorance, and how it affects us and others around us. Once the root is understood, then Metta and Karuna become the eyes looking at the living beings in the world, resulting in the uprooting of greed and hatred too. And when the wisdom born from mindful evaluation increases, then discernment takes to see the real happiness, totally void of conceit and craving, i.e. Mudita… Mudita has different intensity or levels :the 1st is to see others happy or not suffering;the 2nd is to see that others ask questions about suffering or about the spiritual path for the sake of understanding;the 3rd is to know about anyone putting effort in the training of taming their mind;the 4th and higher is when others get any better understanding of the Dhamma or, even better, when attaining any spiritual goal on the Noble Path. Mudita does not depend on conditions,it is not a craving,there is nothing to cling to,it is void of self and conceit,its nature never changes,it is simply the pure eternal happiness that everyone should look for,because it is outside of kamma and of becoming. â¤ď¸đâ¤ď¸ EmailViews: 9
Temple/Wat recommendation Chiang Mai – Thailand
Bhikku Kittipuùùo (Daniel van den Brink)Hi fellow dhamma enthusiasts đ My name is Kittipuùùo bhikku. Two years ago I started my dhamma journey in Asia. I had a strong interest in staying somewhere long term. but it proved quite difficult to find a temple that was suitable for a westerner used to the comfort of life in the Netherlands. In Thailand the climate is much hotter, the food the locals eat is much spicier, there is the language barrier and plenty of nights were spent sleeping on the floor or thin mats. I am making this post to make dhamma practitioners aware of my recent residence; wat tam doi toan. Wat Tam Doi Toan Wat Tam Doi Toan is open to all practitioners who want to immerse themselves into the dhamma, there are no costs but donations are accepted. You can practice under guidance of the abbot with 40 years of experience or using your own technique. We ask all interested to first join a 7 day course that is held each month. Anyone serious about their practice is generally accepted to stay after the course with permission from the abbot. In the unlikely event that youâre not allowed to stay, there are a lot of other good temples you can stay nearby. We will help you find a comfortable temple to stay in any case. Life at wat tam doi toan The temple features a beautiful cave meditation hall, main Dhamma hall with two floors seperating men and women. two freshly cooked vegetarian meals a day with a lot of ingredients coming from our organic veggie garden. The food is very suitable for westerners, not too spicy and quite often we have things like pizza or croissants. The climate here is very comfortable (not too hot) as weâre located In the mountains outside the city. Your sleeping place (called kuti in Pali) is simple but clean. You will stay in a dormitory although sometimes there are secluded kutiâs available too, especially for those staying long term. Hot water is generally available for the female dorm but not in the male dorm. In the surrounding of the temple there are waterfalls, forests, river and mountain hiking trails and a lot of elephants. All in walking distance! You can explore this in your free time. The views are amazing as I will show in the photoâs. How to get to Wat Tam Doi Toan See; https://www.vimuttidhamma.net Photoâs see https://maps.app.goo.gl/P1VeuC1B1ccA3v4Z7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy Visa Anyone wanting to stay long term we recommend to get a visa at hand2hand self defense school. Google it for more information. You can also do visa runs. Schedule Outside the course the schedule is very relaxed. You have plenty of time to enjoy your practice! 6:30 breakfast 11:00 lunch 16:00-16:40 sweeping the temple grounds Ordaining While ordaining at Wat Tam Doi Toan is not possible, I have a lot of knowledge about how to do this in Thailand. Reach out to me if you need information. You can also get a monk visa in perpetuity this way. EmailViews: 412
The self is never there.
First Post. Don’t take this self so personally. Mind above the flood. Whatever comes flushing. You can see all that is happening with curiosity. If there’s car burning outside. You can’t help but to observe with curiosity. But when the car you observe is “yours”. You begun to act frantic and panic. The “self” is suffering. But when is seen through as “not self” . You begin to enjoy the show ” wow, what’s happening? What’s the commotion?” This life becomes a journey of joyful investigation. No more “poor me” mindset. Is just this. You become a moving target. Getting ourselves outside the shooting range. No me there. Everything is just happening by itself. Wholesome change of just seeing what is happening with a smile. Relax. Can’t catch dukkha. See dukkha and start getting out the way. Not by aversion but wisdom. EmailViews: 24

The effect of acceptance
Cathal Costello Costello Share a quick story of the monk in the middle. He was a big part of me having the balls to ordain as a monk. He was really a wild monk early on apparently(from what I was told) but the calmness and genuine metta he had really surprised me. I was around him a lot and got to see how accepting and caring he was yet I noticed his skillful way of not getting attached. I was very unfamiliar with someone who actually had genuine metta, who didn’t want anything from me but was sharing his state of enjoyment of life. I was way to use to ordinary stuff the smile on the outside fumes on the inside and the constant validstion seeking we partake in. I wondered how he was always In a easy going relaxed state despite whoeverr showed up to the wat. It only became surprising after a couple of months with him, it was the consistency and integrity that slowly that thought creeped up in me. I thought “Wow this is some high level monk” lol but most monks who hit 10+ years are like this at least the ones who put some work in themselves hangout noble ones Its fairly normal to me at this point. Hanging around those guys I guess hit me hard on a subconscious level or something that no matter how messed up I got especially with all my westerner baggage I can clear that out and enter into the state of wow life is good. I can accept myself as I have been accepted, I was never judged, I was always expecting to be judged but I wasnt. My mind slowly quietened down and it began overly obvious that the judgements I make are not only unnecessary pointless and hurtful but are just built on delusion. So i share that cos when you do hangout with guys who have done a lot of work within themselves it sort of affects you deep into the bone, marrow hits the marrow. Dhammarato taught me that he had it real good I think, being cared for in the right way can totally change you, waking up to caring for the right things and stop caring about nonsense. I feel almost sorry for those who are stuck around ordinary pissy unhappy people all day, that’s hard, you really have to commit to right effort right there. Its my idea of what a blessing is. Your life can change quickly for the good EmailURLViews: 32
Wat Pah Pa Deng
Waxhaw Luke Wat Pah Pa Deng Tradition; Forest tradition as taught by Ajahn Mun Abbot; Long Por Dae https://maps.app.goo.gl/GtcWyKp3i8AVJqxTA?g_st=ic Description; Wat Pah Pa Deng is a secluded monastery on a mountain slope just north of Chiang Mai. Being on the mountain slope the temperature is much cooler than in the rest of Thailand, which is very pleasant for a farang. There are currently 8 monks of which one called Long Pur Khet speaks english. He has been ordained for three months and does a bit of teaching and guidance on day to day life. When i walked in without prior contact they offered me a kuti pretty much right away. It is possible to join pindabat/almsround every morning and other than that sweeping at 15:30 is asked of you and some other minor things every now and then. Plenty of time for secluded practice in a great natural environment. Nearby is also Pa Pae meditation center which is also a good Wat to switch to if you donât enjoy Wat Pah Pa Deng.

two Quotes
Waxhaw Luke “The gradual path is a process of discovery and learning. In the West we have learning theory, a model well known within psychotherapeutic circles. According to learning theory, the more we repeat a behavior or establish associations with it, the better learned a behavior becomes. Having established a learned pathway through practice, we generalize that knowledge to other situations. Access to that learned behavior becomes more immediate and automatic.” âDaniel P. Brown, Ph.D. “There really is absolutely no reason, findable in experience, why you have to react to anybody or anything in any particular way. Itâs always been that way: you have just overlooked it until now.” âKevin Schanilec EmailURLViews: 5
On your topic of âlookingâ
Waxhaw Luke On your topic of âlookingâ I find Bhante Punnajiâs translations to be useful. He translates sati/Satipatthana as âintrospectionâ (looking within), which is step 1 on the âseven steps to awakeningâ (his words) and then he translates Upekka as âapperceptionâ (seeing within). So the process of awakening begins with looking within and culminates in seeing within. And what is seen? That the world is not out there. It is in literally in here. In this process of perception. When seen clearly in this way, mind âawakens from the dream of existenceâ (his words again) and has a âparadigm shift from existential thinking to experiential thinkingâ Point being that it begins and ends with looking and seeing clearly so that, as Dhammarato would say, âwe donât step in any cow pies as we cross the pastureâ For me, this upekka is the direct seeing that what we call the world is a projection of the ignorant, desire-driven mind. When it sees, it simply knows and lets go. âIt realizes the reality of non-graspingâ (Ajahn Chah) This present awareness un-intoxicated is bright and blissful, needing nothing added. EmailURLViews: 4
SOCRATES: Perhaps you seem to make yourself but rarely available,
Waxhaw Luke SOCRATES: Perhaps you seem to make yourself but rarely available, and not be willing to teach your own wisdom, but Iâm afraid that my liking for people makes them think that I pour out to anybody anything I have to say, not only without charging a fee but even glad to reward anyone who is willing to listen. If then they were intending to laugh at me, as e you say they laugh at you, there would be nothing unpleasant in their spending their time in court laughing and jesting, but if they are going to be serious, the outcome is not clear except to you prophets. Three things going on in this passageâ 1. He teaches because he likes people, he enjoys others (metta, loving-kindness). 2. He teaches for free, doesnât charge (Dana, generosity). 3. He doesnât care if people laugh at him or laugh with him- he just cares that theyâre having a good time (piti, joy). Pretty neat to see that teaching from old Socrates! EmailURLViews: 15
