A manual of insight Meditation

Prince Siddhartha tried to cut off everything and left behind. Why? Because it is impermanent. To be born and live not so long. The dharma saying " All are Anicha Wattasangkhara " ( all change impermanently ) that make human beings have more sufferings ( body-sangkhara ). All life will be the same.
Everythings in the world are natural properties ( world properties ). They are not our belongings. They already exist before we were borned. When we still alive, we utilise them. When we pass away, we cannot carry them with us. Why ? Because when we get borned, we carry nothing only empty hand and when we leave this world, nothing can be carried with, only empty hand again.
What will happen in the future? No one knows. Everything will be will be. It is not our job to think about. If we get more worried, we will get more sufferings. Look at Prince Siddhartha, he had properties more than us. Everyone know that. But he had never been happy. Prince Siddhartha said that " the outside properties are impermanent ". Why? Today it is new but tomorrow it is old. Look like your body on the beginning when you get borned, you look younger but in the future you will get older and pass away. That are sufferings coming with all life like the Buddha word saying " Anicha Wattasangkhara ".
Prince Siddhartha cut off everything, left them on behind. He walked out of his family that the way to make him be happy. He conquered sufferings but it is hard for human being to do. Why? Because all of us love bodies. Just only Prince Siddhartha can do. That he becomes the master of five worlds.
1. Bhromma World
2. Dheva (heaven) World
3. Nagga World
4. Human World
5. Yomma (hell) World
In principal Siddhartha Gotama Buddha function setting down and walk out of sufferings. The Pali word saying " Sin Prob Sin Chart Chopphrommachanh Banroo Phra Arahanta ". The meaning is that Prince Siddhartha attained Enlightenment and became the Buddha by himself. Prince Siddhartha was borned just before noon on the full moon day of the sixth month, in the year of the dog, eighty years before the official Buddhist Era (B.E). The day Prince Siddhartha was born and continue to 1994(2537), right now, and still does to over 5,000 years, the end of Buddhist religion.

Finally The Lord Buddha took a rest and came to visit "Pancavakkhy (five men)". At first the Pancavakkhy-(means five) clearly showed their disrespect to Lord Buddha, but once they were warned they started to pay attention to Lord Buddha’s Desana was called The wheel of Dharma "Dhamma Cakkappa Vattana Sutra - All Four Ariya Sacca Dhamma" . Lord Buddha spoke to the five men "Attakilamatdhanu Yoga" - (unwholesome effects ' body torturing ') , " Karma SukkhaliKanu Yoga" - (involvement in sensual pleasure including happiness in sexual relationship, not realising unwholesome effects). These are Dharma of Lord Buddha spoken to the five men 'Pancavakkey' the first time he has taught in human world. The Lord Buddha kindly gave Dharma "The Four Noble Truth" which is known as Ariya Sacca
Dukka-Sacca (The Truth of suffering)
Samudhaya-sacca (The Truth of the Cause of suffering)
Nirodha-sacca (The Truth of the Cause of suffering)
Magga-sacca (The Truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering)
The Lord Buddha attained enlightenment by himself. Because he realised these Four Noble Truth. His knowledge and vision of the truth is purified.
That I would like to leave all the word by Buddha Dharma teaching in my web site with you and all the good things I have done I would like to offer to all human, all the life and the god. The Buddhist Satsana has been in the human world right now and in the future. Please enjoy. Be kind, be happy, long life and live together. Whatever you wish, will come on the mind you wish.
