 2 1|        and pain. Their minds don't take up anything else, don'
 3 1|       take up anything else, don't go anywhere else. They can
 4 1|          all times as well. ~Don't you see the difference?
 5 1|     beneficial for you. Just don't think that you're what's
 6 1|        not really yours. You don't have any real control over
 7 1|          is in your body, it isn't important. What's important
 8 1|        the mind. Normally we don't pay too much attention to
 9 1|      people in the past who didn't suffer from heavy diseases
10 1|         hurting. The disease isn't your disease. It's a disease
11 1|       disenchantment. So you don't have to be afraid of pain.
12 1|       let it be there -- but don't let the mind be in pain
13 1|       and that's enough. You don't have to go knowing anything
14 1|  something normal. When it doesn't lighten, that's normal,
15 1|      pain in the aggregates, don't give it a second thought. ~
16 1|      with every moment. It doesn't matter whether you're here
17 1|         hospital or at home. Don't let there be any real sense
18 1|     labels and meanings. You don't have to label yourself as
19 1|      mind is like this, it doesn't need anything at all. It
20 1|        anything at all. It doesn't have to be here or go there
21 1|          The mind, when it doesn't get engrossed with the taste
22 1|         simply that the mind isn't involved, doesn't latch
23 1|       mind isn't involved, doesn't latch on. This is the point
24 1|        can make use of. ~You can't go preventing pleasure and
25 1|       pleasure and pain, you can't keep the mind from labeling
26 1|         to say that the pain isn't me, it's empty. Or if there'
27 1|      Just make sure that you don't cling, and the mind will
28 1|          it's strong or not, don't label it or give it any
29 1|          if pleasure arises, don't label it as your pleasure.
30 1|          s a sign that you haven't wasted your birth as a human
31 1|          know on its own. So don't let the mind bother itself
32 1|         preoccupations. They don't bring these truths inward,
33 1|          in front of you, so don't try to avoid the pain. Practice
34 1|       craving and defilement won't dare hassle the mind the
35 1|          your last lifetime. Don't let there be anything born
36 1|          release from birth. Don't let yourself want anything
37 1|      want anything any more. Don't let yourself want anything
38 1|       from this angle, there won't be anything left. Pain,
39 1|     inner or outer levels -- won't really be clear. It'll get
40 1|          of emptiness simply can't compare with this kind --
41 1|         ll see that when you don't latch onto labels and meanings,
42 1|         fact that the mind doesn't give meaning to things,
43 1|         meaning to things, doesn't fashion things, doesn't
44 1|          t fashion things, doesn't cling. It's empty right
45 1|  anything at all. But if you don't really focus down like this,
46 1|      confusion because you haven't contemplated down to the
47 1|          This kind of mind doesn't get involved, doesn't latch
48 1|      doesn't get involved, doesn't latch on to meanings or
49 1|         mind, simply that we don't see it -- or that we see
50 1|       right at the mind. But don't go labeling it as a "mind"
51 1|           That's enough. You don't need to have any meanings
52 1|          already practiced: Aren't they already cleared away
53 1|      some extent? The mind doesn't have to worry about anything,
54 1|      worry about anything, doesn't have to get involved with
55 2|     disturbing us; but if we don't pay it any attention, it
56 2|    problem here is that we haven't yet really seen this, or
57 2|       really seen this, or haven't yet reflected on it in a
58 2|          things. Even if you don't know very much, just be
59 2|       and emptiness. Then it won't be able to fashion the pains
60 2|        great issues, and you won't have to be attached to them. ~
61 2|         the body's pain, but don't let the mind be in pain
62 2|        stay right there. You don't have to get involved with
63 2|      back inside; for if you can't handle it, then craving
64 2|   attention on the mind. You don't want to have anything to
65 2|       pains in the body. You don't look at them, you don't
66 2|          t look at them, you don't pay them any attention.
67 2|      pure state of mind that isn't in pain with the body, and
68 2|    events. The mind, though, isn't involved. It puts all these
69 2|     important things in life don't lie outside. They lie entirely
70 2| understand this properly, we won't have to go out to grab this
71 2|        grab this or that. We won't have to latch onto anything
72 2|         the point where it doesn't latch onto anything, where
73 2|         anything, where it doesn't want anything. That's where
74 2|          the mind.... ~If we don't really understand things,
75 2|     things, though, the mind won't be willing to let things
76 2|         when mental events haven't yet come in to condition
77 2|    condition it, or when it hasn't gone out to condition mental
78 2|        interest in it. If we don't, there's no way we can put
79 2|         superficial way, you won't see that it's attachment --
80 2|         which means that we aren't aware of the characteristics
81 2|         these things. If we aren't aware on this level, everything
82 2|         mind is like when it isn't conditioned by the power
83 2|         step in the practice won't be difficult at all -- because
84 2|      attachments. Then there won't be any issues. The mind
85 2|        easily, means that we can't be careless. In the beginning,
86 2|      feeling of pain. If you don't label it as meaning your

89 2|        moments when the mind isn't involved with very much,
90 2|          analyze it as well. Don't let it just be in an oblivious

92 2|         our awareness, if we don't know how to keep the mind
93 2|          quiet, as if they weren't there at all. ~But as soon
