A Mind Free Of Worldly Vicissitudes.

 

Dukkha is Suffering. All conditioned states are subject to oppression.

 

The mind is the nature of thought inside our body and can collect and assimilate all kinds of sense-objects.

 

Fear is similar to worry, feeling anxious, and being afraid, which are considered dissatisfaction.

 

A moving mind has wishes, and desires, which are likely to transpire.

 

Worldly vicissitudes are worldly conditions that are inevitable for all humans.

 

A mind that is not affected by the worldly vicissitudes has equanimity or neutrality of mind. Indifference to praise and blame is all in the performance of duty, because the mind sees through it, that’s all.

 

These worldly conditions are classified as two types:

 

1. Pleasant Objects (known as Ittha Ramana) as in : Labha = gain, Yasa = repute, Sukha=happiness, Pasamsa=praise.

 

These four kinds of pleasant objects are favorable in general because we are ignorant that they don’t last permanently. So we go in quest of them until we’ve3 got them, hold onto them and are comcerned about them.

 

 

Worldly vicissitudes are worldly conditions that are inevitable for all humans.

 

 Unpleasant Objects (known as Anittha Ramana) as in : Alabha=loss, Ayasa=disrepute, Dukkha=pain, Nindana=blame.

These four latter ones, which are not disliked but are hated, create fear in us, even if the fear is unfounded. We are afraid of being affected by them, leading to the fear of the damage they might cause, which parlays into the fear of their reoccurrence.

 

Nevertheless, the eight of them include all things in this world comprising The Three Common Characteristics and are regarded as Ti-lakkhana: that is to say:

 

1. Anicca is Impermanence. All conditioned states are impermanent, regardless of whether they are occupied by spirit or not. All things change as they get older and get damaged all the time.

 

2. Dukkha is Suffering. All conditioned states are subject to oppression. All living beings have to die, and nothing is left.

 

3. Anatta is Soullessness. All states are not self, not in control of what it is expected, and not in a state of satisfaction.

 

 

Anicca is Impermanence. All conditioned states are impermanent

 

Not seeing these worldly conditions, we are infatuated with them and then become steeped in grief from that point on. The Lord Buddha sees the Dhammakayas inside, which are the characteristics of  Permanence (Niccata), Happiness (Sukha) and Atta {your true self}, all of which are nature beyond the three common characteristics.

 

According to the Buddha’s Enlightenment, Permanence, Happiness and True Self ARE Nirvana, so he was not addicted to the worldly vicissitudes. Not being gloomy, or not being infatuated with them, He concentrated on Nirvana inside himself instead.

 

Hence, The eight worldly conditions are inevitable for all, on mater whether they are unenlightened or enlightened ones. The only difference being in the way people respond to or act on them. That is to say:

 

Unenlight ened beings (ordinary persons) when facing these conditions will be addicted to them since they do not know or understand the true nature of worldly conditions, On the contrary, the Enlightened on (The Lord Buddha) when facing them will not be addicted to them.
