Today's bright yellow Monday falls on the full moon day of the 15th day of the waxing moon. It is Makha Bucha Day, the day when the Lord Buddha preached the Dhamma sermon to 1,250 monks who came to a meeting in unison at Veluwan Temple. All the monks were Arahants

received direct ordination from the Lord Buddha
The main principle of
Ovada Patimokkha is to do good deeds in body, speech and mind, refrain from evil in body, speech, and mind, and purify the mind, freeing from nirvana that prevents attaining goodness.
Today I have a sermon from
Phrarajputthiworakun (Amarophikku), Abbot of Amaravati Temple, England, disciple of Reverend Father Cha, translated into Thai by Khun Ladawan Tangtrongchitrakul
Let's tell each other.
It is a dharma book that I got from the funeral chanting of Khun Nukul Prachuapmoh, former governor of the Bank of Thailand.
former transport minister
Dharma preached by Phrarajputthiwarakhun It's part of our daily lives, not sure, or Not Sure whenever we feel uncertainty.
We often feel anxious, afraid, not knowing what will happen in the future, so we try to fill this feeling with planning.
by thinking about what could happen
It is often avoided by not thinking about the future.
And tell yourself that it's nothing to worry about, or that it's over.
cause concern
Most of us are probably familiar with the teachings of the Buddha on the trinity of things, namely impermanence, dukkha, and anatta, that is, everything is constantly subject to change.
insatiable
The meaning of the word impermanence is impermanence, meaning change. When Reverend Father Cha talks about this meaning
Almost every time, he used the word “maybe” to mean uncertainty.
more than impermanence
When we talk about the word “impermanence,” it sounds like something outside.
Like natural factors such as the voice of the altered ego.
or our mood changes
But when we talk about the word "impermanence" in the sense of "uncertain", it gives a feeling in the sense that
How do we perceive changes in the mind?
The perception of change is uncertainty, therefore uncertainty
(uncertainty) in English means
feeling experience in the "perceiver" part, while impermanence
(impermanent) often associated with
“What is perceived” or what is external
The reason why the Buddha emphasized this matter of "vanity" is because when we meet with uncertainty
Then we put ourselves in the position, like what will happen to me?
Do I have to lose what I have?
Can I continue with this job?
Will my company prosper or fail?
It's all about us.
When our hearts are faced with uncertainty
and have adherence to our identity, who we are, the result is fear, what will happen to us?
How will we be?
But those who reach the stream of Dharma
Awakened mind according to truth
can reduce self-esteem
will be aware of the changes
without adherence
When letting go of the ego
When there is no longer a sense of who we are ourselves
will be free
no one or anything to lose
No one to feel afraid
This is an idea to change your fear of the future.
to be happy and independent
It all depends on our point of view.
The dharma of Reverend Father Cha focuses on uncertainty, impermanence, and patience.
Reverend Father Cha explains what is Dharma, what is uncertain is Dharma.
If one sees the Dharma, one sees the Buddha.
is the Buddha
When he realizes the uncertainty, that is, the mind awakens to be the "knower", who sees the truth of uncertainty.
is the one who sees the Buddha
knowledgeable of uncertainty
is a person who has a Buddha mind
