Message: <blockquote data-quote="AtulaSiriwardane" data-source="post: 4850900" data-attributes="member: 120286">True. Dukkhehi pathitthitho loko. Existence is established on suffering. Buddha says. The happiness also based on suffering. Too much of happiness can kill someone. We enjoy cold when it is hot that happiness is relative to heat. When cold is  too much we realize that we are suffering. Within a range of suffering we enjoy in relation to something else. If we have live upeksha (with awareness) we don't suffer. Some try this with Hindu meditation techniques, Laukika Samadhi, not knowing that they are in a state of Moha. The way out of suffering is being aware of suffering with upeksha. You can ignore Raga and dwesha by focusing on another object. You will enjoy peace. But you are in a state of moha' which makes you are not suitable for daily life. You will have to isolate yourself. The difference of Buddha's Vipassana is that Vipassana makes you aware of your self more and more with increasing Upeksha. So with Vipassana one is aware of Raga, Dwesha and Moha Sanskara within oneself but have upeksha. Vaya Dhamma Sankhara, uppada vaya dhammino. Decay is the quality of Sanskhara. If it arises it passes. Uppajjhitwa nirujjhanthi, (if one allows) what was arisen passes away. With Vipassana we practice that. You know what more than many, but don't know how. Perhaps you may be in Pachcheka Buddha lineage. His teaching has the quality of Akalika. It is instant. He teaches the way out of suffering. With every step on the way suffering decreases, if you are on the right path. I practiced other techniques before Vipassana. My suffering increased till I find Vipassana, and decreased after. My awareness improved, equanimity developed. So I know that I am on the right path. True. But for people who live according to his teaching overall suffering becomes less. But one can fail if he developed only Seela and Samadhi. But the amount of Pragna one attained will never be lost. 100% true. It is not by chance though. Namely 3 ways Shrawaka Buddha One who learns Vipassana from some one else, get enlightened, and MAY teach some others. Pachcheka Buddha One who discovers Vipassana by oneself and do not teach others. Samma Sambuddha One who discovers Vipassana by oneself and finds Vipassana to teach any other who has capacity. -What path would you choose, if you can choose?- </blockquote>
