What is Awareness & Clear Comprehension!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu should dwell
aware
and clearly comprehending!
This is our instruction to you. How, Bhikkhus, is a Bhikkhu
Aware?
Here, Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu lives contemplating these
four objects:
1: Body as a mere form: Just a
group of foul and fragile organs...
2: Feeling as a reactive response assigned to any
sense contact...
3: Mind as only a changing set of
mentalities and habitual moods...
4: Phenomena simply as
perceived momentary mental states...
While being keen, ardent,
clearly
comprehending, and acutely
aware,
thereby removing covetousness, lust, greed, envy and any discontent,
displeasure and frustration rooted in this
evanescent world...
It is in this very
way, Bhikkhus, that a Bhikkhu is
Aware...
And how, Bhikkhus, does a Bhikkhu train
clear
comprehension?
Here, Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu is one who acts
clearly
comprehending just
exactly whatever he is doing
right now, while going forward or back;
when looking ahead or looking aside; when flexing or extending limbs;
when wearing robes & carrying his bowl; when eating, drinking, tasting
& chewing food; when defecating & urinating; when walking, standing,
sitting; when falling asleep, waking up, speaking, & when keeping silent!
It is indeed in such a way that a Bhikkhu lives in
clear
comprehension...
Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu should dwell
aware
and clearly comprehending.
This is our instruction to you!
