 18 1|           this is the case, they can't stop. They can't grow still.
 19 1|            they can't stop. They can't grow still. They can't be

 22 1|            only for a moment and don't turn into long issues. Keep
 23 1|              way. ~This training isn't really all that hard. The
 24 1|              of mind so that you won't go out liking this or hating
 25 1|             continuous. Then you won't have to think about anything.
 26 1|           beginning, though, you don't have to do any probing.
 27 1|            probing when the mind isn't really centered and stable,
 28 1|             we started out, we weren't able to exercise any real

 30 1|              as meaningless. You won't have to take issue with
 31 1|          like it. This is bad, I don't like it. This is pretty;
 32 1|             sounds you hear. You won't take issue with them. You
 33 1|            may touch, the mind doesn't take issue with anything
 34 1|   concentration, the defilements won't be able to burn it or mess
 35 1|              other words, desire won't be able to provoke it. When
 36 1|           aversion, and delusion won't be able to burn it. Try
 37 1|           truly continuous. This isn't something to play at. You
 38 1|        something to play at. You can't let yourself be weak, for
 39 1|           for if you're weak you won't be able to withstand anything.
 40 1|          check things carefully. Don't let yourself be lax, sometimes
 41 1|             is absolutely solid. Don't let yourself be weak. You
 42 1|            things in themselves aren't good or bad or self or whatever,
 43 1|           comes to bloom. If it hasn't bloomed yet, that's because
 44 1|              disband them. If we don't, the lotus will wither away,
 45 1|          stable until it blooms. Don't wonder about what will happen

 49 2|        insight. ~Clear insight doesn't come from thinking and speculating.
 50 2|            superficial knowledge isn't true knowledge. As long
 51 2|      knowledge. As long as you haven't probed deeply into the mind,
 52 2|        deeply into the mind, you don't really know anything. The
 53 2|          craving, and attachment isn't yet clear. ~So you have
 54 2|            understanding. If you don't contemplate so as to give
 55 2|          delusion. Normally, we aren't fully aware of even the
 56 2|      distracted. As a result, it isn't easy for us to understand
 57 2|              and defiled. ~So it isn't easy to examine and understand
 58 2|           charge in the mind and won't budge no matter how you
 59 2|     mindfulness and discernment aren't equal to the fight, you'

 62 2|            If you don't win, you don't give up. Sometimes you have
 63 2|               Just a taste. It doesn't matter." Craving knows how
 64 2|          struggle and squirm, we can't get free. ~You have to realize
 65 2|            no casual affair. You can't let yourself be weak or

 72 2|             problem is that we haven't investigated into the truth

123 3|           what's going on. If we don't make contact with the Dhamma,
124 3|           with the Dhamma, if we don't practice, we go through
125 3|        emptiness in the mind, we won't gain any profound knowledge

135 3|            We've seen that if we don't practice to disband defilement

137 3|             they were when they hadn't yet started practicing to
138 3|             lower level. If you aren't mindful and discerning,
139 3|           and discerning, if you don't use the Lord Buddha's Dhamma
140 3|            main problems. If you don't really contemplate stress,
141 3|          seek advice so that you don't stumble. Otherwise, you
142 3|            in your head -- which won't work at all! ~The basic
143 3|        stepping up your efforts. Don't let yourself grow weak or
144 3|         within yourself that you won't go following them because
145 3|      conviction in yourself, you can't help but stride forward
146 3|            pit of fire. ~If you aren't free within yourself, you

148 3|              on. Realize that it won't be long before we die --
149 3|              before we die -- we won't be here much longer! --
150 3|             gets swept away. You don't have to concern yourself
151 3|        conceit. Outside affairs aren't important. What's important
152 3|            from seeing the truth isn't at all like the light we
153 3|         things inside. But if we don't have mindfulness and discernment
154 3|         people to wipe them out aren't really all that dangerous,
155 3|     countless times. Normally we don't realize how serious the
156 3|            suffering. ~Those who don't have the time to come and
157 3|          anywhere! Their mouths aren't in line with their minds,
158 3|       craving, and attachment -- don't realize their situation.
159 3|            were still crude, we didn't feel this at all. We were
160 3|      repeated desire causes, you don't have the intelligence to
161 3|            re okay. ~When people can't shake off their addictions,
162 3|        stirring up the mind, but don't see that there's any harm
163 3|            and crude discernment don't see that desire and longing
164 3|           suffering, and so they don't know how to do away with
165 3|               so blind that they don't realize anything at all. ~
166 3|              this one thing they won't feel any disturbance and
167 3|             for the most part we don't see things from this angle
168 3|          feed on the bait, so we don't dare try giving it up --
169 3|        slaves to desire. ~If you can't let go of even these blatant
170 3|         quickly as possible. You don't notice how much this tires
171 3|              this tires you out, don't realize that this is the
172 3|          effect in this area, we don't make the effort to contemplate
173 3|           more than many. If you don't know how to deal with them,
174 3|              from the world. He wasn't out after personal comfort
175 3|          keep at the effort. You can't let yourself relax after
176 3|          as-yet-unrealized." He didn't want us to be weak and vacillating,
177 3|          each of them, he said, "Don't cling to it." Even nibbana,
178 3|           the further shore, shouldn't be clung to. See how far
179 3|     not-clinging! Any of you who can't comprehend that even nibbana
180 3|     comprehend that even nibbana isn't to be clung to should consider
181 3|              again is so that we won't feel desire for anything
182 3|            for anything outside, won't get engrossed in anything
183 3|         excited was because you didn't know. And so you raved about
184 3|        Mortality. But because we don't know the further shore,
185 3|              if their disbanding isn't absolute, they'll have to
186 3|            right path for sure. ~Isn't this something worth knowing
187 3|   discernment to contemplate. So isn't this really worth practicing? ~
188 3|            say no. They say they can't do it: They can't observe
189 3|           they can't do it: They can't observe the precepts, can'
190 3|            observe the precepts, can't make the mind quiet. The
191 3|              the air you breathe isn't just for your convenience
192 3|              able to disband it. Don't imagine that your family
193 3|         suffering and stress. So isn't it worthwhile to strive
194 3|       disenchanted, but the mind isn't disenchanted at all. It
195 3|          blindness, because you didn't understand. So who can you
196 3|         there, the virtuous ones won't be able to stay. They can'
197 3|            be able to stay. They can't get along at all. If you
198 4|              grow still? If it doesn't grow still, it gets involved
199 4|           within itself: If it doesn't latch on to anything, doesn'
200 4|          latch on to anything, doesn't cling to anything, there'
201 4|          worth knowing, for it doesn't require that you know a
202 4|         sensory contacts. If you don't fall for sensory contacts
203 4|              away -- everything. Don't grasp hold of anything,
204 4|             just come and go, so don't latch onto them. When you
205 4|            pass away, but if you can't notice its passing away,
206 4|              at it, and the mind won't get involved in distractions. ~
207 4|            techniques we tried weren't really able to stop our
208 4|              our distraction. So don't underestimate this method
209 4|          their tracks, for if we don't, they'll grow strong and
210 4|           will grow obedient and won't dare push you around in
211 4|             mind the whole time. Don't just aim at the pleasure
212 4|           see how it's centered. Don't concern yourself with any
213 4|         arises, in whatever way, don't pay it any attention. Keep
214 4|              all times. The mind won't stray off to any pleasures
215 4|           Even if the equanimity isn't complete, don't worry about
216 4|       equanimity isn't complete, don't worry about it. Simply make
217 4|             sure that the mind doesn't struggle to change the situation.
218 4|             to change positions, don't make the change while the
219 4|         doing this at all times. Don't get infatuated with pleasant
220 4|            feeling. If the mind hasn't yet gained release from
221 4|            craving are things we don't really understand. We think
222 4|            be agitated, the mind isn't agitated along with it.
223 4|            greater suffering. So don't think of them as being easeful
224 4|             pleasure. But if you don't contemplate these things,
225 4|              and mind so that we won't cling. We won't cling whether
226 4|          that we won't cling. We won't cling whether we look outside
227 4|            ll know that the mind isn't suffering from stress. The
228 4|          gain release, but if we don't really understand, it's
229 4|       leisurely, casual way, and don't know which points we should
230 4|            with every moment. We can't just live, sleep, and eat
231 4|           our attachments. If we don't know with real mindfulness
232 4|        discernment, our practice won't be able to lead us out of
233 4|             abandon. Still, they don't arise all sixteen at once,
234 4|          foundation. If the mind isn't at normalcy -- if it likes
235 4|          restraint of the senses isn't pure. For instance, when
236 4|          sound with the ear, you don't get upset as long as no
237 4|             up all agitated. ~So don't underestimate even the smallest
238 4|           sensual desire. If you don't like what you see, hear,
239 4|        physical elements. If you don't contemplate in this way,
240 4|          simply grope around and won't be able to release you from
241 4|           you get distracted and can't know anything clearly. ~
242 4|             ourselves so that we don't get lost in distractions.
243 4|              The fact that you haven't seen anything all the way
244 4|           there, is Dhamma. This isn't the extinction taught by
245 4|           remains as it was, it hasn't been annihilated anywhere;
246 4|              what about you? You don't consider how many lives
247 4|         stress within yourself. ~Don't keep excusing yourself by
248 4|              up the perfections. Don't think in those terms. Think
249 4|              delusion because we don't open our eyes. This is why
