The Relationship Between Processing, Cognition, and Mindfulness The Buddha’s First Teaching หน้า 128
หน้าที่ 128 / 263

สรุปเนื้อหา

Processing and cognition are intimately linked, forming the subtle physical body. If four faculties are disconnected, the subtle body ceases to exist, impacting physical survival. Mindfulness includes awareness of both external and internal mental states, with insight into the mind inside being significantly more complex. Wisdom is vital in understanding inner bodies, as taught by Luang Phaw Wat Paknam, highlighting the varying levels of wisdom associated with different types of bodies—from the subtle human body to the enlightened bodies. Each subsequent body brings increased wisdom, culminating in the highest forms that are significantly wiser than the human mind. Cultivating mindfulness as instructed by the Buddha is essential for transcendence.

The ability to see the mind outside is hard enough for most people — not to speak of seeing the mind inside, which is many times harder. The most important thing beneath the whole issue of inner bodies is the subject of wisdom, concerning which Luang Phaw Wat Paknam taught: "If you are able to attain the body of enlightenment (Dhammakāya) you will find that it is many tens of times wiser than our human physical body. If you attain the subtle human body it is already twice as wise. Attaining the Angelic Body, it is twice as wise again. Attaining the Subtle Angelic Body, it is three times wiser. Attaining the Form-Brahmā Body, it is four times wiser. Attaining the subtle Form-Brahmā Body, it is five times wiser. Attaining the Formless-Brahmā Body, it is six times wiser. Attaining the subtle Formless-Brahmā Body, it is seven times wiser Attaining the Body of Enlightenment and Subtle Body of Enlightenment, they are eight and nine times wiser respectively. This is the nature of their successive wisdom — you should familiarize yourself with their relative wisdoms." When the Buddha tells us to cultivate mindfulness of the
