How can wanting anything bring suffering?

[This article was written according to our own understanding after listening to a lecture in Bangkok by Master Sublime Uthai.]

To eat anything, to eat, to do anything, to do anything, to be honest, seems like a pleasure, but have you ever wondered how getting what you want brings you to suffering?

When we want to eat anything, eat, want to do anything, it will cause "habituation" or subjection, because to get what we want, the more we will be deeply rooted into intuition. If one day you want to eat and do not eat, the day will develop craving or lust, will become dissatisfied, and we will become dissatisfied, and we will suffer, which is Samuthai or cause of suffering.

So we should persevere and persevere to meet passion and not satisfy lust, persevere to leave our old instincts until one day it is exhausted. It is a state to eat, it is to eat. No, it is fine. The heart is not oppressive and not distressed, just because it does not eat what it wants to eat.

Notice that the key to suffering is the word "we," or identity. Whether we want it, we want it, we want it, we are satisfied, or we are not satisfied, and when we have the word "we," we have the location of suffering.

For example,

Red light traffic in the middle of the road

- Car 1: The people in the car felt that "we" did not want to catch the red light, we were upset, sighed because we wanted the green light to hurry, and when the light turned into the green light, it turned out that "we" had gone.

- Car 2: The people in the car didn't feel anything. There was no us. The red light signal just stopped the car. When the light turned green, it just drove away. The light would be red and red, green and green. No, we ignited red, no, we went, no satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Everything went to its nature. Notice that in car 2 there would be no identity and no suffering.

A hot day.

- When hot air hits the body, it causes sweat to flow, which is the natural mechanism by which the body balances cooling. But when we hold that sweat is gooey, we feel dislike, discontent at all, then we will be distressed. If we remove our feelings, it will not be distressed, and only that sweat flows out as usual.

Sit for a long time and have leg pain.

- If you see leg pain as "state" or nature, the heart will not be distressed, but when you see it as "we," this leg pain is ours, then the heart will be distressed.

- This body and mind are not ours. Notice that we cannot control the body, not to age. We cannot control certain organs such as the stomach, heart, to stop working. This mind is not ours because thoughts or emotions are born and extinguished every day. Nothing is ours.

It's suffering for us. If there is, we are suffering.

The word us or self is not something to be destroyed, because we are born of a wrong opinion. This self has never existed in the first place. Growth can take down all wrong opinions and solve all suffering, whether small or great suffering.

The first is Sammatthi, the leader who will make enough of other angels. Sammatthi is the knowledge of suffering, cause of suffering, extinguishment of suffering, and the extinguishment of suffering, or 4, which normal understanding is good but not enough. It must be reached through practice to understand the mind, not just the brain.

"Anapanconsciousness" is the practice and meditation of seeing the truth as a matter of fact, with two main characters: long breath and short breath. That is, the beginning is that when exhaling, know that we exhale long. When exhaling, know that we exhale long. When exhaling short, know that we exhale short. When exhaling short, know that we exhale short, do so and so on, so that we master the truth step by step, which will lead to the end of release.

To summarize for us, the way to escape is to prosper and practice a lot of anapantism. During practice, discard what has been heard and study what is before ourselves. We understand that anapanconsciousness will show the truth as a matter of fact, which practice is to be done by ourselves. No one can do it instead. All of these are part of what we have heard. We try to write according to our understanding. If you make a mistake, please apologize. I hope this article will be helpful.

For anyone who wants to listen to the Dharma of the Sublime can listen to Youtube, Meditation Island channel. Personally, we listen to it and get a lot of knowledge. The understanding of Dharma has increased, so I want to recommend a lot.
