Get into deep relaxation (e.g. following something like [[(Fundamental!) {Vilas Blog} Preliminary Steps for Anapanassati]]) 2. **@@@@** Look at [[Ajjhatta & Bahiddha|Ajjhatta & Bahiddhā]], Using [[Dhatu|Dhātu]] - first, you look at ajjhatta, then you look at bahiddha, then you leave both **(nothing is called internal or external)** 3. With the above step, you've remoeved all **"distractions" (vikkhepo)** from the mind, and hence ready for Vipassana - What is [[Kaya]]? It's is 3 things: 1. The breath 2. The 5 dhatu 3. The 5 senses ## (2023-01-26) (Great) Practice using Uposathasutta! > [!info] Video: Dhamma practice Series DAY 1 ([Youtube](https://youtu.be/fjOwcDF9Ahw)) > - Using [[AN3.70 Uposathasutta]] as an object > - #dhamma/practice/important Very important practice to elevate one to the [[Brahma]] realm of existence!! > - on [[Saddha]], [[Sila]], etc. > - Nice [[Pali]] readings!! - @@ Went through the details of [[AN3.70 Uposathasutta.md#^8-precepts-summary]] along with How Samatha and Vipassana is done! - Why do we **avoid abrahmacariya**? Because it leads to rebirths :) - @@ **What is the "wrong time" of eating**? - Any time between 2pm until the afternoon (or at least morning) of the next day - On [[Loka]] - [[Deva]] has more of the 5 qualities (saddha, Sila, suta, caga, Panna) than human - **@@@@** We also have, but of a **different kind**! (E.g. our Sila is law / company ethics, our suta is math, our caga is on giving up for our kids/country, our Panna is on how to do work!) - When raga/dvesha/moha are equal, one becomes [[Animal]] - When dvesha is highest, one becomes [[Peta]] - When moha is highest, one becomes [[Asura]] - They're **COMPLETELY deluded**..
