Becoming A Buddha

Practicing being a Lotus (PURPOSE: TO BE A BUDDHIST/ABLE TO COMPREHEND BUDDHISM).
Someone cannot become an upasaka if he still trap in 8 life conditions.
1. If one rich he doesnt want to be buddhist (one who try to be a monk), cause he has alot of money, he can spoil himself without any problem, if sick just go to doctor, if get bored just watch some movies, etc.
2. If one poor he doesnt want to be a buddhist, he even hard to eat daily how can he start meditating.
3. If one so famous like a president, he doesnt want to be a buddhist.
4. If someone still a prisoner, he doesnt want to be a buddhist. Maybe he want to learn meditation, but not being a buddhist.
5. If someone is a professor or a philosopher, he doesnt want to be a buddhist.
6. If someone is still a kid who want enter first school, he doesnt want to be a buddhist.
7. If someone so happy about his life, have alot of friends, activities, etc he doesnt want to be a buddhist.
8. If someone sick, in serious illness. He doesnt want to be a buddhist. Unless he is a buddhist before he got sick.
Below is how to get rid all of those conditions.
- To be not rich and also not poor, a rich man must donate money in a sum till he feel "I am not a rich guy, cause I also donate some of my richness".
- Someone who own important position must assign some people to work too so its more a teamworking than just one person, so he understand abit about Anatta/noself.
Someone who still a loser like a thug need to start doing good for small parts, so he can develop himself, and thats also being a buddhist.
- Someone who being praised for his intellect as a philosopher even in his own home should not being proud cause any praise, in that way he can become a smart guy wile still down to earth.
Someone who being humiliated cause he seems stupid must understand the law of kamma so, he stop blaming himself or other people and start to move on. having a trained mind is a start to be a buddhist.
- One must change his activity become divine activity, if he makes a party that party should be to celebrate the health, etc. To have divine mind may initiate a person to be a buddhist.
One who sick must wait till he get healthy first.

Practicing Zeroness (PURPOSE: TO BE A MONK).
If someone only want to have gain in life he cannot become a monk. Make it zero.
If someone always remember his lost, like he once lost alot years etc, he cannot become a monk. Make it zero.
If someone seek for reputation, like taking an offer to be a reputated person , he cannot become a monk. Make it zero.
If someone always remember his honour, like he once lost a fight etc, he cannot become a monk. Make it zero.
If someone seek for praise, like good muscle because bodybuilding, he cannot become a monk. Make it zero.
If someone feel uncomfort because being mocked, like for his ugly appereance, he cannot become a monk. Make it zero.
If someone like to dwell in happiness, like being a gay, he cannot become a monk. Make it zero.
If someone still sad why there are still alot of suffering, he cannot become a monk, cause next he will attached to red cross, local rites, and traditions. Make it zero.


Practicing Anattta, Anicca, Dukkha (PURPOSE: TO BE A SOTAPANNA).
Realize when you experience breath.
Realize when the breath in.
Realize when the breath out.
Keep doing that till you graduate it (entering samadhi, and then entering Arupajhana 3). If you live everyday with this meditative mind, you will realize that everything doesnt have a self, thats how it always change and lead to suffering, so you will not dwell anymore in precepts, humanity slogans and promotions, and local rites and traditions)

Practicing Middle Way (PURPOSE: TO BE A SAKADAGAMI).
If someone talk near us.
If there is a statement that you like, don't comment on it.
If there is a statement that you dislike, don't comment on it.
We also can bring this practice into the mind when we meditate, or into activity in our daily life (the importance to view certain things, the importance to do certain things).

Practicing Silence (PURPOSE: TO BE AN ANAGAMI).
If someone talk near us.
If there is a statement that you like, don't comment on it.
If there is a statement that you dislike, don't comment on it.
If there is a statement that you like part of it and dislike the other part of it, dont comment on it.
If there is a statement that you neither like or dislike, don't comment on it.
We comment only when the statement requires our explanation, to show them the dhamma or the real way.
We also can bring this practice into the mind when we meditate, or into activity in our daily life (the importance to view certain things, the importance to do certain things).
I will explain what is exactly this feeling "neither like or dislike".
It is what people called as "my heart want to say that way".
So, even it is our heart that want to say it, dont follow that too.
It will peel our subconsciousness, and finally we only talk directly from the way itself.
Our consciousness is not really divine. Some bad things also in there (consciousness = collection of thoughts. Thoughts consist of good thoughts and bad thoughts).
The only divine thing is the way (Dhamma) itself.

Practicing Mokuso/intensive meditation (PURPOSE: TO BE AN ARAHANT).
Cittasatipatthana is the deepest practice of khandanupassana, part of dhammanupassana.
If an activity doesn't relate with Dhamma (8 fold noble path) then it is a kamma, then you note that and you stop that thought. 2 things will happens:1. You stop creating good kamma.
2. You stop one objectification.
Continue doing that to other adhamma thoughts that arise in mind. So you stop all objectictifications and becoming a Buddha.
All ways in 8 fold noble path is not good kamma when you do that, it is the Dhamma itself, and Dhamma is beyond good kamma. why it is not kamma, cause it being done not by will or intention. Only intention will creates kamma. So what trigger the dhamma? Nekhhama (the need to leave the life).
Only morality in society is good kamma, morality in mind speech deeds.
Any thought that triggered by intention will continue rebirth, any thought that triggered by nekhhamma will lead to Nibbana.
Nekhamma is not intention because it is the synonim of Appanihita, one aspect of Nibbana.
There are 3 aspects of Nibbana:
1. Sunnata (vod).
2. Animitta (without reflection of any object).
3. Appanihita (desireless).
