Aware
and Composed Dwelling: The Blessed Buddha once said:
Monks, a Noble should dwell Aware and Composed… This is our
instruction to you!
And how does a monk dwell Aware? Herein a friend dwells contemplating any
body as a void frame only; as
a transient, painful and impersonal neither-me-nor-mine appearance,
while alert, ballanced and deliberately aware, thereby overcoming any mental
rejection of
reality, arisen from coveting
this world… Exactly so does he dwell with regard to any feeling.. with regard to any mood
and mentality.. with regard to any
phenomenon.. Only precisely so is a Noble One Acutely Aware!
And how does a monk dwell Composed? Herein a friend dwells fully aware of all feelings, that arise.. fully aware of all feelings, that settle.. fully aware of all feelings, that cease..
Such Noble Ones dwells fully aware of all thoughts, that arise.. fully aware of all thoughts, that
remain.. fully aware of all thoughts, that stop.. Such clever ones dwell fully aware of all perceptions, that arise.. fully aware of all perceptions, that
persist.. fully aware of all perceptions, that end.. Just so is this Noble One
Cool, Calm, and Composed!
Any disciple should dwell Aware and
Composed. This is our instruction to you…
