DHAMMA: FOUR ASPECTS

The Dhamma of life has four meanings:

1. nature itself,

2. the law of nature,

3. the duty that must be performed according to that law of nature,

4. the fruits or benefits that arise from the performance of that duty.

Также там же (Стабильность - Чистота - Активность):

STABLENESS - PURENESS – ACTIVENESS

If the mind has correct samadhi, we will observe three distinct qualities in it. The quality of mind that is firm, steady, un*distracted, and focused on a single object is called samahito (stability, collectedness). That mind is dear and pure, not disturbed by anything, unobscured by defilement. Mind empty of defilement is called parisuddho (purity). Thirdly, that citta is most fit and supremely prepared to perform the duties of the mind. This is called kammaniyo (activeness, readiness). It would not hurt to memorize these three words: samahito (stableness), parisuddho (pureness), and kammaniyo (activeness). All three qualities must be present for concentration to be correct. This is the kind of concentration that can be used not only in formal meditation practice but in doing any of the necessary activities of life. (142)

These three qualities can be present while walking or standing or sitting or lying. There is an interesting passage in the Pali texts. It says that if these three qualities are present while standing, then we can call that "divine standing." If these three qualities are present while walking, then that is "divine walking." If all three are present while sitting, that is "divine sitting." If these three qualities are present while lying, then it is "divine lying." Obviously, concentration is more than sitting like a lump of rock or a block of wood - stiff; rigid, and dead to the world. The essence of samadhi is that the citta is perfectly ready to perform its duty, namely, to grow in knowledge and understanding from moment to moment. At a minimum, the citta will be happy when these three qualities are present. Having sukha is a duty of the citta, also. And the citta is ready to do its duty when it has these three qualities. (143)

The practitioner whose mind is concentrated due to these three qualities is known as "one who has a concentrated mind." The Pali word is "samahito (one who is concentrated)." In the Pali, the Buddha is quoted as saying, "When the mind is concentrated, it knows all dhamma as they truly are (samahito yathabhutam pajanati). The supreme benefit of samahito is that the citta is concentrated on knowing all things as they really are. If there are any problems in life that we cannot answer, then concentrate the mind and the answers will come out automatically. Wherever the concentrated mind goes, it sees things according to reality. If we look within ourselves we will see all things according to truth. This means that will see aniccam, dukkham, and anatta easily, if the citta is ac*companied by the three qualities of samahito. (144)

You will observe for yourself that these three qualities are interdependent. They are interconnected in a single unity. There cannot be purity of mind without stability of mind. If there is no purity, then there is no stability. And there must be stability and purity for there to be activeness. The three work together. They are the three factors of the concentrated mind. Please try to understand the words stability, purity, and activeness. The three must be equal and unified to be called "samahito." Then they are extremely beneficial, valuable, and powerful. This kind of concentration is able to solve the questions of life, regarding both the natural problems of this material world and the questions of a "supernatural" order above the world. (145)

Finally, please remember and understand the essential point here. When the mind is samadhi, we can walk or stand or sit or lie down or work or taste our labors' fruit or help others or help ourselves. The samadhi-citta can be used on any problem, in any situation. It can be used to solve all problems. Be interested in this word "'samahito" - one who has samadhi. It is able to do every kind of duty. (146)
