Bhikkhuni Triệt Như – The Fount of Happiness – No 42
Translated into English by Ngọc Huyền

THE “MIND” DRAMAS

42 SUOI NGUON HANH PHUC 4 X 6 ENG

This morning, it happens to know  there are many dramas titled “the Mind”.

In the last two weeks, I paid visits to the two closest Sunyata Meditation centers, one in Sacramento and the other in San Jose, California. For two years of staying far away, it was so excited to see everyone again. Then, ya, new shows started every morning or evening over there.

Each broadcast caught its own attraction. It might be a Cailuong Broadway with  melodious   music. It might a chick flick with lengthy intimate speech from the main actress or  a comedy whose characters were in the seventies. They talked and laughed happily. Sometimes it was a combination. This person played  Vietnamese Soap Opera in his own tune while the other, European-influenced songs with her own creative acting. All were accompanied by various musical instruments.  But there was one shared thing. They all performed  the shows in their own way regardless the audience liked, neglected it  and  either were wakening or sleeping. When the dark red velvet curtains dropped down, every actor and actress  enjoyed various specialties of the day. There might be the Huế various tapioca pastries. There might be the Northern traditional sticky rice cakes or stuffed rice rolls; or it might be the Southerners’ banana pudding or stuffed-fried crêpes. Other assorted international foods were also offered such as European cream puffs, buche de Noel, Italian spaghetti and pizza, Thai’s sour and sweet noodle soups.... Unable to list them all, eh....

Let’s remember  the Sutta of Mahaparinirvana. When the Buddha chose the sala grove in the town of Kusinagara to immerse into the Nirvana, Respected Venerable Ananda politely asked the Lord to move to  bigger cities like Vailsali, Kosambi or Rājagaha to do that nobility. But the Lord said that very place, long time ago, in the time of  Dharma Wheel-Turning King, Mahāsudassana, had been a prosperous imperial city where nine sounds from metal gongs, drums,  elephants, horses...heard every day. And the last sound was  the invitation “ Hey folks!  Grab foods and drinks.”

People in those Zen centers also pushed everyone to eat more and drink more. If everyone is happy, it is the celestial realm. If everyone is stressful,  frustrated or furious, the nice realm turns into the hell right away. Resultly, the shows, gleeful or somber,  depend on our own creation and our own action in the roles of the main characters. Everyone who share the same mood and situations often gather to join in the same plays. It happens in that way life after life.

Let’s see when launching a new drama, what have we done?

As you know, we possess lots of actors and actresses. Here is the guy named the Thinking Mind. He controls the Archive and always wants to broadcast the very old plays he has memorized for long. Over there, that’s the Intellect folk who is the wisest, quickest, smartest. His mouth and four limbs can simultaneously work together. Someone might say one word to him. But he can respond up to ten ones. Without any references or evidence, he is able to assume everything or fancy the perspectives, in his own way, that might be either true or untrue. The supervisor of those two men is the Consciousness. He is the very man who widely opens the five doors, eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body,  to the outside world. He warmly welcomes all the circumstances, materials, sounds, smells and tastes into his house. The Thinking Mind receives such guests. He, then, traces back his records to identify their names, personality, special characteristics and other private info. The Intellect will foresee who would do what and what is going on…

When exploring and studying the world outside, all  the three men are supervised by a hidden super leader. We give him a temporary name to quickly refer to him, Mr. Paramount Ego. No one has seen him, but his orders are always strictly complied. It is easy to understand the reasons. He knows how to make the best advantages for him. He takes care of himself before doing it for other people. He tries to obtain properties as many as possible. He has never satisfied with his money, fame and power. Just because when he thinks it’s enough for him, then, he has to cover his family;  later on,  his party, religion and country. A question raised when  it could be enough for him.  It’s so funny that riches, distinction and high authority always intertwine to each other. They seem to be the three faces of Mr. Paramount Ego. If someone could see his control, then, turning to the other side, they would see his other two portraits.

Looking deeper, we’ll discover a new thing. Actually, the Buddha indicated it some thousand years ago. Who is the Paramount Ego? It is the Father King of the Five Dragon Princesses, Money, Materials, Fame, Eating Desire and Sleeping Desire. We temporarily call them princesses because we always adore and feel happy to please them. They are all present in our shows where they, mostly Princess Money and Princess Materials, alternate to be the main characters in the dramas. They are so young, pretty and attractive. No one could say no to their allurement. Eon and enon in the rebirth cycle, we have chased after them and got lost in there.

Folks, remember? The Buddha, before his utmost enlightenment, those ladies also appeared to lure him the last time expecting they could  shake and change his mind. The Buddhist canons call them “Mara”, or the   God of Devil’s daughters. That  God is the Deep State which dominate us. It is the very  Paramount Ego or us, ourselves, my dear! So ironical, eh up! When the worldly lusts  still affect us, we are still  being tempted by such Mara.

We have not seen the Super Boss. Who is he? He is gentle, nice and kind. He is in his own house. Nowhere else! He usually keeps quiet or speaks just a few words. He only voices when someone listens to him. The five doors of his house are always widely opened. If the guests enter, the Thinking Mind, the Intellect and the Consciousness hurriedly  and warmly receive them. The Boss is still in his room and silently look at them. With a quick glance, he  knows who they are; but he does not say any word. Most of the time, the guests cannot see him. They are busily and interestingly dealing with those three clamorous guys, in various moods,  day by day, till the end of their life. They never  meet the house owner.

Though the house is  noisy, there is only one speaker there. The leader, the Consciousness, frequently reserves the priority to voice up the final decision on behalf of his two brothers. When they move back and forth, twist their faces  or frown their eyebrows, they are clinging themselves over the situations. Theoretically, they have built their bad thinking karmas. Now the guy Consciousness decides to make public announcement of their work processing. He takes the only microphone for that report.  When the signs in our mind get through Broca, the Decoding Area, they are converted into intelligible language in the way the Consciousness likes. Here, he transmits it to the Talker, the Speech Area. Then to the Receptive Structure, the Somatosensory Area where it will be moved to lips, tongues, teeth, glottis, vocal cord to turn into sounds or words. It might be transferred to the four limbs to create actions. At this phase, the speech or actions will affect other people and bounce back to the doers. It is the very karma. In that way, show after show and drama after drama continue and continue. None of the characters graduate from any Arts Academy.  But they live their roles as beautifully as professional artists without using any external tools like the hot balm for tear running!

When  those noisy groups get  tired and  have to stop for rest, the Super Boss wakes up and starts his tasks. He quietly turns on the lights. Everywhere is brightened up. The Mara and the God of Devils disappear. Ah! Because our house is too dark, they come to raise Cain. Now the house is shining. Over there, the  Thinking Mind, the Intellect and the Consciousness all dress up and get ready for their Super Boss’s commands to perform their own functions. The  Consciousness transfers the info in the neutral way. The  Thinking Mind quickly goes over it; and the Intellect gives sharp justification on it. It shows  the Super Boss delivers  his orders clearly and accurately without any hesitation. Whenever the Boss gets up, wisdom is illuminated, the  Paramount Ego  and his five princesses immediately vanish in the thin air.

At last! The chick-flicks “ the Mind” are over. Sleep, all the member cast, the troublemakers. The red velvet curtains have drawn down. Now, everywhere is the very emptiness, tranquility and brightness.

Après les retraites méditatives en Allemagne, le lundi 19 mai, Mme Minh An nous a ramenés à l'aéroport de Francfort avec Thay Quang Dung pour prendre l'avion pour Paris. Une fois arrivés à l'aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle, M. Tam Hy est venu nous chercher pour nous emmener à Juziers, à plus de 50 km de là. Juziers est une petite ville reliée à Paris par la Seine, qui traverse la capitale et passe derrière la maison de Tam Pho.

That dead-end road is the human life path. That of fame, money and love. That of desires, cravings and strong affection. Then, our fragile life is just for the service of those trios. And when the time comes, we end up in loneliness without any accompanying. All look like the sand bubbler crabs on the shoreline of the East Sea.

Quán Ngũ uẩn không phải chỉ đơn thuần quán sự có mặt của từng uẩn hay toàn bộ Ngũ uẩn, mà sâu sắc hơn là hành giả thấy được tánh Vô thường, Bất như ý, Vô ngã và sanh-diệt của Ngũ uẩn như lời Đức Phật dạy trong kinh “... Vị ấy sống quán tánh sanh khởi trên các pháp, hay sống quán tánh diệt tận trên các pháp, hay sống quán tánh sanh diệt trên các pháp”. Đó mới chính là mục tiêu của thiền Tứ Niệm Xứ.

Last but not least, the mind path is solely in an instant. A krasna of mindfullness. A moment of knowing how to live. It is the one of the being. Stay in the instant of being all the time. It is peacefully abiding in the Nirvana.

Some assumes this is the end of the Dharma. However, the Buddhist teachings are obviously present everywhere. When the Trio of Invaluable are consistently staying in the mundane world, it is the very Righteous Dharma. Thus, those who are unable to see the Three Precious, then, they can think the Dharma is declining now.

Was ist eine „Selbst Meditation“, was ist eine „Nicht-Selbst Meditation“? Wenn wir uns zu einer bestimmten Zeit hinsetzen und nach einer bestimmten Methode meditieren, dann machen wir eine „Selbst-Meditation“. Mit dieser Meditation erreichen wir nur ein begrenztes Ergebnis. Auf eine andere Weise passen wir uns den Umständen des täglichen Lebens an, dann meditieren wir „Nicht-Selbst“, denn wir brauchen keine Bedingungen, wir harmonisieren uns automatisch mit der Umgebung, wir lassen die Phänomene geschehen, wie sie sind. Vielleicht habt ihr schon oft so gelebt, ohne es zu merken.

Nothing could happen without any cause or precondition. Be tolerant when you want to transfer your karmas. Be honest in self-review and bravely accept the unpleasant truths. You yourselves are the owners of your own life. And only you can change yourselves and “when there is a will, there is a way” as well.

Nhận biết Thiền lúc nào là vô vi pháp, lúc nào là hữu vi pháp. Khi mình tập Thiền, theo giờ giấc nhất định, ngồi đúng tư thế, có kỹ thuật để dụng công, có cố gắng hay tác ý dụng công, đó là pháp có điều kiện, là hữu vi pháp, kết quả giới hạn. Khi sống bình thường, tùy hoàn cảnh ứng xử tự nhiên, thì là sống Thiền, là pháp vô vi, không cần điều kiện, tức là sống tùy duyên thuận pháp, hay để cho các pháp tự vận hành. Điều này thiệt đơn giản, trong đời, có nhiều khi mình đã sống đúng như vậy, nhưng mình không nhận ra thôi.

Dès lors qu'on a pu passer au stade de l'observation de la vacuité de l’esprit, celui-ci devient vide. Il n'y a plus rien à dire. En d'autres termes, ce "courant éternel de l’esprit" qui coule depuis de nombreuses vies s'arrête ici, sans laisser de trace.

Ich hinterlasse meine Fußspuren, wie die Fußspuren am Strand von Tuy Hoa an jenem Tag, schwankende Fußspuren, die sich in den goldbraunen Sand drücken, nur für einen Augenblick, die weißen Wellen plätschern herein, dann ziehen sie sich ins Meer zurück, nichts bleibt zurück, der Sand ist flach, die Fußspuren verschwunden. Ich ging weiter, hinterließ wieder Fußspuren im Sand, dann kamen die Wellen zurück, der Sand war wieder flach, und ich ging weiter, für immer allein, ohne eine Spur zu hinterlassen.

No matter what ups and downs in life, that line of wisdom continues flexibly adapting itself to human life, quietly expanding and offering a source of inner peace and happiness to those who get it. Those metaphors are similar to the image of the crystal spring whose water is always cool and clear and the beginning of spiritual well-beings for humans though stones and gravels are scattering in the current. Hope the next articles in the series be the placid water that I’d warmly dedicate to the Zen practitioners who gather enough conditions.
