Upasika Kee Nanayon

Training on the level of practice doesn't simply mean studying, listening or reading.

You have to practice so as to see clearly with your own mind in the following steps.

First, start out by brushing aside all external concerns and turn to look inside at your own mind.

Until you can know in what ways it is clear

The way to do this is to have mindfulness and self-awareness in charge, as you keep aware of the body and mind.

until you have trained the mind to stay firmly in a state of equanimity.

Once the mind can stay in a state of normalcy or equanimity,

you will see mental formations or preoccupations in their natural state of arising and passing away.

And we'll see physical and mental phenomena as they are, as they arise and pass away naturally of their own accord.

When the knowledge that there is no self to any of these things becomes thoroughly clear, you will meet with something that lies further inside, beyond all suffering and stress.

Free from the cycles of change,

Free from birth as well as death, since all things that take birth must by nature age, grow ill and die.

It won't even assume itself to be a mind or anything at all.

That is to say, it won't latch onto itself as being anything of any sort.

Those who see this pure condition of Dharma in full clarity abound to grow disenchanted with the repeated sufferings of life.

When they know the truth of the world and the Dharma throughout, they will see the results clearly, right in the present.

that there exists that which lies beyond all suffering.

that is, something really to be known for oneself.

Those who have seen this truth within themselves will attest to it always.

You have to be quiet on all fronts.
