RE: The Three Marks Of Existence

in #mindfulness7 years ago

clinging to the five aggregates (form, feeling, perception, consciousness, and mind) is caused by ignorance. Based on this ignorance and its effects, the notion that the five aggregates are permanent, a true source of happiness, and a self or the accessories of a self arise.

yes, I got the relationship now between the ignorance and the taint.

“what is impermanent is suffering”, “what is not self is impermanent”

can we say: what is not self is suffering? or it should not be differed, but one?

and finally this:

ten perceptions of the 5 aggregates are used as antidotes for practicing and viewing the five aggregates.

I am lost. So practicing those 10 perception is to break the spell of dilution of 5 aggregates? thank you @reddust

for me reading your post just like an adventure, it must be read till the end, no chance to skim it. I need more time to think and read again and again.

Om Shanti Shanti om

Sort:  

There is no self to be found in the flux of phenomena ;-) I guess what suffers is ignorance that clings to phenomena and there is no self to be found as well...

I was not taught the self no self arguments so I cannot help in this area. What I was taught was the basics, develop equanimity through meditation and integration into daily life.

When one is completely calm take a steady look at the witness to all this stuff <3

To find your answers you need to talk and work with a quailfied teacher and find this out for yourself. I cannot teach you how an apple taste unless you eat it yourself .
