Having no bound with ideas, feelings, apperception, consciousness, earth, water, fire, air, one is a Buddha.
Don't feed on ideas, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Don't feed on feelings, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Don't feed on apperception, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Don't feed on consciousness, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Don't feed on flesh or skin, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Don;t feed on liquid, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Don't feed on breath, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Don;t feed on body metabolism, cause it will proliferate and lead to more samsara.
Act according Dhamma, don't intend to do something, even if it is nonself. But do something when you aware it is good, correct, beneficial for you and others, and approved by the aryan monks.
There are monks, and there are aryan monks. Monks are same like commoners, full of flaws, the difference is they practice to be flawless.
While aryan monks means monks that has attain fruit of holiness.
The consciousness of nonself (jhana 7/Brahma) is not enough for a monk. He must also have:
- the consciousness of nonself's consciousness (jhana 8)
- the ceasing of that nonself's consciousness (jhana 9)
- the absense of becoming wether it is self or nonself (Nibbana).
In case one wonder, what should he do after he practice The Mindfulness on Aggregates correctly, and how to avoid quiet and bored feeling that happens when you do that, here is some points:
- Having no-mind, doesnt mean you dont do anything. You still do something, what you do? Take a look at Noble Eightfold Path doc in files. So one practicing the way of life itself, instead of doing what mind says.
- You feel so quiet, empty, and useless? That is actually one stage of arupa jhana meditative mind, and you just need to proceed more by spark your intelligence which is the practice of Noble Eightfold Path.
- Most will find it getting bored, and quit buddhism. Next days he only lives as a buddhist philosopher, not a buddhist. This is because he follows part of his dislike feelings. There are times when one do the practice of watching aggregates, having his dislike feeling strenghten. He should not believe in this, and continue the practice till the feeling neutral, and even till he is emotionless (in this emotionless state you will meet the condition of being empty and useless like I said above).
______________________
There are two kind of boredoms:
1. Boredom as the hindrance when trying to meditate.
2. Thought still exist and says "I am bored" when you reach jhana 7, this because you used to live for purposes. Don't believe in purposes, its only gods' domain.
There are three lifestyle:
1. One lives for his desires, he identifies the self as whatever he want in life. This is ordinary human's life.
2. One lives for his purposes, this is jhana 4 meditative mind person. If he dies in this mental state he reborn as one of gods.
3. One lives for Dhamma, this is jhana 7-8 meditative mind person. If he dies in this state he reborn as one of Gods.
All of these are not good enough to be achieved because it still seek for becomings, even that purest becoming as God.
One thing that left that is the supreme way to achieved is one lives as the Dhammakaya or body of Dhamma, which means, he doesn;t have any mind:
- to live (as human).
- to get rid of physical body (so can reborn as god).
- to be sometime appear and sometime not (so can reborn as God).
- to be intelligence (so he can reborn as Sammasambuddha in next new earth).
But his activity is only to do Eightfold Noble Path daily, by using it just a raft only, so he won't reborn as anything, he free forever as a Buddha.

How to work in daily life without proliferating like commoners? Easy. Just aware your domain as a monk. What is your domain as a monk? Any experience must arrives through satipatthana. Other than that just domain of demons. (Makkata Sutta).
How to work in daily life without proliferating like commoners? Easy. Just aware your domain as a monk. Example: When you create a group called lingo learning center, you should add word "for monks". So it sparks such awareness in you that "I learn english only to smooth my way as Dhamma teacher," or "I learn english only to read more dhamma books in english and to talk to my westerner friends."
Without guarding the mind, its the same you let untrained mind controlling you. It gives you many wild ideas upon working on an object; to seek money, and then to seek family, and then kids, and you trapped in samsara again.
___________________________
There is no freewill since eveything already predetermined by previous mind determinations, believing in freewill will contradict the anatta doctrine too. So, sometime, a being, because of his past activities he got compassion for mankind so he doesnt want to be a Buddha.
Being triggered by his past experience he decides to be Sammasambuddha. I also met one monk in this life who dedicate his life to be sammasambuddha. Ofcourse not as Metteyabuddha, but after that, in new earth. He cannot learn to be correct, why? If he try to be be correct he will become a Buddha in near time. So what he does daily is only performing many forms of gift (Dana) to all beings.
