The world is a picture, IDEOLOGY makes its contents-Lord Buddha
Wisdom 16
YAANI CHITHRANI LOKE, SANKALPA RAAGO PURISASSA KAAMO
Above mentioned is a PALI verse uttered by the Lord Buddha to all humans in this world, which means THE WORLD IS A PICTURE, IDEOLOGY MAKES ITS CONTENTS.
As I told you before, what you see, what you hear, what you sense, what you touch, what you think is a picture to which you give names, numbers, specifications, clarifications. You develop DESIRE or hate, if you do not properly diagnose them. If you develop craving or hatred, KARMA is formed leading to rebirth, disease, aging & death over & over again without an end.
To escape from this TRAP, your thinking pattern should be changed. To change that, you must have a clear understanding of what you see, hear, sense & think. To get a clear understanding, you need SATARA SATIPATTANA MEDITATION or Buddhist meditation. For a growth of mind, you need concentrated mind or SAMAADI. To get a concentrated mind, you need Buddhist precepts be observed or SHEELA PRATHIPADA.
THE WHOLE BUDDHISM IS “SHEELA, SAMAADI, PRAJNA”
In simple terms, you do not meet animated or inanimate things in this world. What you meet is a picture to which you give names ideologically. That’s all.
