This is the first in a series of talks by Jagaro on The Five Hindrances.  Ill-will, anger, annoyance, hatred are common emotions and reactions in our lives.  They are all forms of aversion, a negative response to something we interact with in the world, and a shift away from something we don’t like.  This aversion can be a subtle poison in our lives and have a devastating affect if left unchecked.  Strangely however, in the midst of the effects of ill-will our reality is very compelling and self-justified.  Don’t we all feel so right when we are telling someone else how wrong they are?  It is always ‘them’ that is the problem.

In this talk Jagaro discusses the causes for aversion and how it manifests in our lives and the negatives effects it can have. He also walks through the process of how we can come to see it arising within our meditation and to recognise the process behind it.  He also gives several different tips, practices and meditations for dealing with the different forms of ill-will, anger, cruelty and carelessness.  Lastly he gives some reflections on how a deeper understanding through meditation and insight can allow us to look into others malicious actions and words, and transform our heart to a place of equanimity and forgiveness.  This alchemy of the heart brings forth a deeper compassion for suffering and the grips by which people commit malicious actions unintentionally.

It is very helpful to memorise the five hindrances so that they are easily recallable.  I’ll explain why soon.  The Five Hindrances are negative mental states of mind and experiences that impede meditation, and thus wisdom and enlightenment.  These hindrances are:

1. Sensual desire (kāmacchanda): Craving for pleasure to the senses.
2. Anger or ill-will (byāpāda, vyāpāda): Feelings of malice directed toward others.
3. Sloth-torpor or boredom (thīna-middha): Half-hearted action with little or no concentration.
4. Restlessness-worry (uddhacca-kukkucca): The inability to calm the mind.
5. Doubt (vicikicchā): Lack of conviction or trust.

The reason it is a beneficial to memorise these five hindrances is that it can be a good practice to examine your experiences and to notice when the current state of mind is one of these hindrances.

How To Apply This

Each time you return to mindfulness of your experience, take a moment to reflect upon the quality of experience.  Are you feeling restless?  Are you feeling doubtful?  Are you feeling aversion to something?  Are you desiring after something?  Are you feeling lethargic?  Once a state of mind is seen in this way, label it “Ah, this is the hindrance of restlessness” or “This is the hindrance of boredom” and then just continue to watch the experience.  Don’t buy into the experience and try to respond, fix, or resolve the hindrance, just continue to watch it and know it as a hindrance that is not to be cultivated any further.

This is very helpful because it allows us to objectify and look upon our negative experience rather than dwelling in them or continuing to act out upon the unhealthy state of mind.   By labelling the hindrance we remind ourselves “not this” or “this is not fruitful” and so we learn to just leave it be and let it go.  This releases us from the compelling nature of the reality as if it is “mine”, we begin to see through the reality that we were previously stuck in.

Another way to think about this that is like holding onto a snake.  Without realising the danger, we are constantly bitten, yet do not understand why we are suffering or why our meditation is not going well.  By labelling the hindrances it is like recognising we are holding a snake, we stop holding onto it and we stop picking it up.  We learn to just put it down and leave it be.

Over time, through this practice, the five hindrances begin to have less of a binding effect upon us and our meditations improve.

What is insight and how does it occur?  In this audio Jagaro discusses The Four Foundations of Mindfulness and what Insight Meditation is, and uses some wonderfully simple analogies to explain the process of awakening to the truth of reality.  He also discusses the importance and function of insight meditation as a companion to concentration meditation, and how the two work hand-in-hand to deepen understanding and thus wisdom.

This wisdom is not a thought-based understanding but a direct experiencing of reality as it is, often known as right view and right understanding.  Through examining the body, feelings, thoughts and all mental phenomena we come to see the nature of all things and the ground-less ground from which they rise from and return to.  This full view allows us to release attachment to our suffering and live with a unbounded sense of calm and ease.

Moods, Attitudes, Approaches and Morality

In the previous talk, Jagaro discussed Moods, Attitudes, Approaches and Morality and how through living morally our life gradually shifts from being influenced by our moods and attitudes to living a more peaceful life.

In this audio, Jagaro discusses in more detail how we can often, incorrectly, perceive moral practices as some form of negative self-restraint (that we don’t like) and how this purposeful restraint actually improves our lives and cultivates a deeper sense of calm.  Like a candle that has impurities in the wax, it simply won’t burn well.  We have to take out the impurities for it to burn nice and bright.  Our meditation practice is the same.

Examining the sense consciousness we notice them constantly reacting; grasping and desiring after or averting away from what is perceived.  Through moral practice, and the application of the 5 precepts, we come to see how this practice helps bring us back to a true sense of balance and reduces this unhealthy influence of the sense consciousness in our lives.  This cultivates greater clarity about life and thus wisdom.

Learn Meditation and Buddhism Principles for Parenting and Raising Young Children

Raising kids is one of the toughest jobs in the world! Filled with uncertainty, frustrations, anger, sleep deprivation, tantrums, exhaustion, worry, no me-time and sometimes loneliness and hatred, parenting stretches us and pushes us past boundaries we never thought possible.  Not only does it play on our minds, it plays on our emotions, our heart and also our relationship with our spouse.   Did we really sign up for this?  For the next 20 years?  You are not alone in these feelings and life battles, and thankfully there are real practical ways of finding a sense of space and peace amongst the nappies, bath-time, tantrums, cooking and working day jobs.

Navigating through this phase of our life, as parents, is a challenging one.  There is an endless myriad of situations that can arise that we have to constantly adapt for and find a right answer.  And often we are never really sure if there any right answers at all? How can we be better equipped to not only cope better, but find a real sense of inner quietude?  How can we find ways to raise and guide our children properly?

For 2500 years Buddhists have worked on perfecting meditation techniques to ease our pains and suffering and bring greater joy in our life.  The underlying principles in this practice can not only be applied to yourself but also how your children.  This is just about understanding the basic principles of our human nature so that we can work with your child’s natural tendencies and our own to get along better.  In very practical terms is helps us understand “Why do they keep saying No No NO to everything?” and “Why do they just want want want?” and “How do I cope with this without strangling them?”

In this half day workshop, Jagaro will talk about his personal accounts as a parent of 2 year old boy and how meditation and Buddhist principles can be applied to raising children.  The workshop is aimed at parents with young children.  He’ll walk you through:

• how to meditate
• why meditation works
• underspanding the phases your child goes through
• how to deal with trantrums
• how to find space between all the chores
• how to deal with your own internal stresses and find some inner peace
• how to find your own sense of fulfilment and ‘me-time’
• effective ways for breaking the Mexican stand-off
• how to remove dependencies or bad habits and train good habits
• the importance of routine and how to build one
• how to train your child to sleep well
• the fundamental principles for raising children
• how to maintain a relationship with your spouse
• how this practical and simple daily exercise of meditation can help you through the rest of your child’s upbringing

Jagaro has been practising meditation for 14 years and is a recognised and qualified Buddhist meditation and mindfulness teacher living in Helensburgh.  He has a son who is two years old.

Often, one of the larger hindrances to doing meditation is often starting it in the first place. Once we’ve actually put our bottoms onto our meditation cushion, we are well on our way, however the problem for most people is actually getting there.  So this tip is about that problem, how do we get ourselves to the meditation cushion?

If we pay attention we’ll notice our life is full of ‘things’, whatever that is for your life.  These are the ‘things’ we use to justify to ourselves how busy we are or “that we have no time to meditate”.  This is a sentence we are all familar with and I know I too have used it on many, many occasions.  If we pay attention however these ‘things’ are often some form of distraction, especially in our modern busy world.  We have smartphones, Facebook, movies on demand, TV shows we can watch off the computer, X-box games, restaurants, parties, social and family gatherings, work load, and the list goes on.  We find we become addicted to these space fillers in our lives, we use them as distractions, and they become so strong and habitual that we’ll find ourselves sucked into them, leaving us little space in our lives.  The trick is to identify these distractions and then limit or remove them before your scheduled meditation session.

How To Apply This

If you get up in the morning to meditate, when you alarm goes off, don’t be tempted to do anything or pick anything up. Just go straight to your meditation, do you chants and bows and start meditating.  By this I mean, don’t check your Blackberry or smartphone for emails, don’t sit down in front of the computer briefly to “just take a quick look at Facebook”, don’t just flip through the paper etc.  If we do this we’ll find ourselves eventually stopping the activity and realising our meditation time has passed.  These distractions before meditation tend to be time wasters and we’ll find ourselves easily wasting away our meditation time.  So simply don’t start them.  Notice what your morning routine is and see if you can limit these behaviours before meditation.  Just get up, do the meditation and then move onto the rest of your life.

If we plan to meditate at night, then notice some of your distractions in your night and turn them off or put them down leading up to your designated meditation session.  If you have a particularly engrossing book, put it down earlier in the evening, don’t be tempted to “just see what happens on the next page”.  We all know what that leads to!  One hour later we are finishing yet another chapter.  If you are a PC gamer, don’t be tempted to just “start the next level for a bit”, again this leads to the same fate.  Don’t be in the habit of starting things up but rather putting them down until after you’ve meditated.

There is also another reason for limiting these distractions before meditation.  If we check our Blackberry and see an email coming in from our boss asking for a report by the next morning, we’ll notice our emotions and mind start obsessing on this.  The simple solution is to not check.  If we do get sucked into this, we’ll find our mind will start to get filled with thoughts, ideas and emotional reactions about what we’ve interacted with, that also hinders our performance in the actual meditation session.  If you particularly notice your mind singing songs over and over, then limit your interaction with music before your meditation session.

In short, notice what things distract you or suck you in.  What are the things that you find you pop out of later to notice hours have slipped by?  Where was your mindfulness during this?  If you notice this happening, it may be worth limiting this in your life for a while, or in particular, leading up to your designated meditation session.  You’ll find if you do this, you are more likely to actually sit and do your meditation session.

You can see the Buddha’s teaching applying here, in the building up of conditions is where we get caught.  This is where the unawareness and self-attachment is.  This is the second Noble Truth.  So notice what conditions are stopping you from meditating and work to reduce them – remove your distractions before your meditation session.  It not only ensures you actually sit down but will reduce the agitation of thoughts and emotions within during the meditation session.

On Monday February 6th 2012, meditation group will be moving to a new location, the Bushland Chapel in Helensburgh.  On this night, I’ll give these 2 books away randomly to anyone who attends.

If we meditate and reflect upon this we realise the obviousness of our situation – all things in life are impermanent, always changing. Now it is easy on a conceptual level to understand change and nearly everybody comments on this, “Oh yes, life is always changing”, but when you look upon your own life, are your really living this truth in every moment? In this moment? Well, quiet often the answer is no. We shift in life desperately from one place of stability to the next, and when our current footing becomes unstable we shift desperately to the next. We long for this comfortableness and stability, for things to be in control and to be known. We don’t like confusion or not-knowing.

We are similar in this way like a frog leaping across a pond. We try to always try to go from lilly pad to lilly pad in fear of falling in the water. We always want the stability underneath our feet. Yet if we notice, even the stability of the lilly pad is suspended on water. If we take a moment to pay attention, underneath our feet there is always uncertainty, always instability, never really any control. We begin to see the uncertainty and impermance of that which we resting upon. If we let go this fear and realise the obviousness of our situation we let go worrying about change and uncertainty. We become comfortable with the impermanance and start to live this truth in the moment. Like the frog, we jump off the lilly pad into the water and immerse ourselves in the vastness of the  impermanence the water represents. We then realise we can swim around freely and at ease. How strange and silly our lilly pad jumping now appears to us!

So this is how we often spend our lives, fearing the change and fearing the impermanance and uncertainty. We are much like this frog, shifting from one stable place to the next. Have you noticed when you feel unwell or upset or out of control how we push to quickly move back to stability? Have you noticed when you get bored or tired with your job, or your partner, how you move onto the next one just to feel comfortable again? But then we notice these cycles in our lives where we move from job to job, or partner to partner, and never really know why. What is driving this?

What is more interesting in this cycle is to also notice that is wanting stability there is a level of self attachment and a longing for things to be “known”. We cling to these fixed beliefs, fixed thoughts, fixed ideals, fixed opinions, fixed states of mind, and fixed states of feeling. Lilly pad to lilly pad we jump, in so many little ways, seeking for things to be static and known. Is this really dwelling in and understanding deeply that “life is always changing”? No, not really at all.

Yet, through meditation and mindfulness, we come to not only see change but see the impermanence that is ever-present, we rest into this with comfort and with this we let ourselves slip off our lilly pad and into the water of uncertainty. We do this because we come to realise we are living in a big pond of water, totally surrounded in all directions, and that there never really is any certainty. We begin to allow our lives to dwell in the ongoing knowing of impermanance. That isn’t any fixed thing, or place, but just the ongoing experiencing of the changing nature of all phenomena.

How To Apply This

Next time you are struggling with something, instead of obsessing about moving away from it or shift to something “nicer” take some time to rest into the uncomfortableness and ask yourself, “what stability am I seeking here?” You’ll notice in this an underlying drive you may not have noticed before, a drive that pushes you to want to seek something stable, controlled and static. If we are honest with ourselves, we’ll see this isn’t that fruitful. We are just tricking ourselves into a false sense of comfort. Not only does this not last, but we begin to notice that underneath this there is never really any peace within ourselves, just a constant fear that we might fall or loose control. Like the frog on the lilly pad, we fear falling off the lilly we are currently sitting on.

You can also notice this effect when something is unknown, kept secret from us or confusing to us.  Reflect upon this next time you are kept ‘out of the loop’ with friends or at work.  There is a drive for us to make it ‘known’ again, to make it stable and fixed.  So we’ll force confrontation or refuge in unwholesome things to gain that peace.  We’ll even demand that we have a ‘right to know’ and justify all sorts of unkind actions under the guise of our own craving for self-stability.  It is here we have to evaluate with wisdom the underlying drivers that hinder a longer term sense of inner peace.

So lastly, and bringing this back to some of the basic Buddhist teachings, it is interesting to note what of the five hindrances are at play in this cyclical nature. At some stage there is desire to move to some nicer stage, or ill-will away from our current stage we don’t like, or away from the uncertainty and not-knowing.  There can also be a sloth and torpor when we get on stable ground by relaxing too much into the comfortableness of the apparent stability, or a restlessness once we’ve been there for a while.  And lastly we can have doubt and worry about whether our lilly pad will remain stable or if what we are doing is right. All these continue on and on, perpetuating our cycle of samsara, our cycle of suffering. There is no peace in living like this.

So meditation and life is not about gaining.  It is not about jumping to the next lilly pad, gaining the next meditation ‘attainment’, blissful state, happy state, peak experience, insight or samadhi, but about letting go these hindrances that don’t allow us to see truth of the impermanence and that don’t allow us to be at peace.  We are in a big pond of uncertainty, get use to it! Reflect upon the hindrances of mind and come to be the ‘knowing of uncertainty’.  In letting go this cycle is where we come to know a peacefulness within that is not bound by fixed things and fixed conditions.

I spent the night meditating in an all night meditation marathon called the Jhanathon at the Santi Forest Monastery in Bundanoon.  It was a great experience and something I recommend everyone try.  It really tests your endurance, will and commitment.  You come to understand a lot about yourself and life through these experiences.

In the early hours of the morning, I was meditating and reflecting on the candle at the front of the meditation hall, and how are lives are similar, when this verse came to me in an instant.  I wrote it down.

May your year to filled with mindfulness, light and wisdom.

My life is the candle
in front of the Buddha statue,
In the heat, the suffering,
In the light, the wisdom,
They emit from the same source,
Neither seeking to be big or small,
All we can do is watch
and shine light in all directions
until we burn no more
But the light continues on …

- Jagaro, 1st January 2012

When you finally get tired of pursuing peace you sit down to rest and realise the obviousness of your situation – it was the pursuit for peace that perpetuated the illusion of suffering and struggle.  In the absence of this pursuit, it is simple – the wind whistling through the trees, the smell of coffee in the morning, the tingle of energy through the body, breathing in, breathing out.  In that instant, your struggle ceases and peace becomes obvious.  This is not just inner peace, but a silence that pervades the universe.

Inner peace is a myth perpetuated by the illusion of inside and outside, and that we have to do something inside to manifest something different to what is plainly aware all around us.  When you let go seeking peace inside like it is somehow different to the outside, when you see the outside as the same as the inside, peace is!

How To Apply This

Next time you feel the need to seek inner peace, take a moment to stop and actually question the need.  That is not to say we should not do things for good reasons and to cultivate peace, but this approach changes the view of our reality and shifts the focus onto releasing that which hinders our ability to rest into and be the peace that is.  Examine and look into the drive, that subtle longing that says “You are not happy now, you must seek something to be happy”.  Examine this until the illusion is seen through.  Sit still and rest with this subtle but powerful urge to chase and seek.  Notice its tendency to hint “What you have now is not good enough”, take a breath and accept fully the reality of the moment.

In this audio Jagaro explores how we approach our life and meditation practice, and how we can refine and develop it through examining our moods, attitudes, approaches and morality. It is not something we often reflect upon, “Is my approach to this right?” Instead we just set out doing meditation in any old manner in hope that it would yield good results. This is much like setting out on a journey without reflecting upon if the direction we are walking is right and if selected mode of transport is the best for our journey or if it is in good condition. This can have far reaching affects on the results that yield from the meditation. Our morality, defines the greater context to our life for wholesome action and thus wholesome results, providing light amongst the darkness.

In this talk Jagaro begins be discussing moods and how we are often at result of our moods, and thus bound by the conditions of moods and that which impacts on our lives. As we develop we realise we can have positive influence over our moods and to a greater extend attitude. Positive attitude however is just an approach, not a cure-all, and so we must evolve to really yield wholesome outcomes. Morality is this evolution, a maturation of our practice through mindfulness which is revealed to us as we travel the path. Morality however can be practiced as a formula, as an approach, from the outset of our meditation practice until we come to understand its benefits through wisdom. This is the function of the 5 precepts in Buddhism, or even the 10 commandments in Christianity. In this way morality not only provides a solid foundation for our life, but upon further inspection is revealed to be an absolute necessity for maturation of mindfulness, the fruits of the practice and ultimately liberation.

Bushland Chapel, Helensburgh

Beginning January 23rd 2012, the Monday Night Meditation group will start at a new location, the Bushland Chapel at 94 Parkes Street, Helensburgh.  It is directly opposite the Scout Hall and hence only a short walk form central Helensburgh.

A Beautiful Ambience

Recessed back from the road, nestled amongst the trees, the Chapel offers a peaceful surrounding and ambience, ample meditation space and some lovely padded benches for sitting room.  The Chapel also comes equipped with audio-visual equipment and a tea room which gives us some great options for future talks.

The people at the chapel have been wonderfully supportive in helping set up and accommodate our meditation group and I wish to thank them for the kindness and generosity.

Parking

The Chapel has a looped driveway, which means if you park in it, you could be parked in by others behind you.  If this concerns you, it is easy to just park on the Parkes Street.

Alternative Access

For those needing alternative access without steps, you can enter the building from the rear off Fenwick Place.  Go through the green gate (which you can see in this link), and go right to get access to the main Chapel building.  The ramp to the left takes you down to the rear accessible toilet.

One typical practice of meditation is to watch and the breath and concentrate on the point where you feel the breath. It is interesting if you watch the breath cycle, the breathing in and out, to notice the particular point where you feel sleepy or where the mind will wander off, or when the mind becomes busy. If you watch closely there can be consistent points in the breath cycle where the mind will fluctuate which eventuates in certain results.  That is, certain conditions are ripened and there can be consistent results.  If you then are able to notice these conditions as they arise, you can start to then apply remedies for them to sustain mindfulness.

For example, I’ve noticed that at the bottom of the out breath there is a slight relaxing of energy and in this moment the mind will have more of a tendency to wander, like a dog that is let off its leash. Also, during the long exhauling process of the out breath, this relaxing can also create the conditions that are ripe for sleepiness or dullness. Also at the top of the in-breath I’ve notice that the mind is more likely to get busy with thought, like a person who gets engaged into a conversation and can’t escape.

How To Apply This

Now this is what I’ve noticed, and your practice may vary. So watch the breath and notice these tendencies within yourself at different points in your breathing cycle.

It is useful to know these points of ripe conditions so that you can remedy the situation to maintain mindfulness. For example, if you notice the mind wander at the bottom of the out breath then you an use a subtle resetting of intention and re-application of effort back onto the object of the meditation at that moment to maintain mindfulness. This is the recollection process, recalling over and over to stay present.

Conversely, during the breathing in cycle the mind may have a tendency to become more agitated or restless, so if you notice this then it may be helpful to re-apply effort to sustain/hold the mind on the meditation object, thereby calming the mind. This mild application of effort to sustain the attention on the meditation object calms the mind because to stops the mind from engaging in the restlessness and therefore becoming more agitated.

Again, your practice may vary so use mindful observance to notice these tendency and results come from the ripening of certain conditions and then practice with finding the right remedy to maintain a steady stream of applied mindfulness.

“The Importance and Place of Meditation in the Modern World”.

Are you struggling with the pace of our modern world? Living and working in today’s society tends to perpetuate a ongoing struggle with balancing family, work and social commitments and leaves us little time to reflect upon life and find some sense of meaning and peace. As much as we may have the sincere intent to find calm and meditate, we often find ourselves challenged to sit still on a regular basis. The importance and place of mindfulness meditation for leading a balanced and fulfilling life is especially relevant today as it ever has been.

This half-day meditation retreat workshop offers you the opportunity to take a moment in life to find an island of stillness.  Listen to special guest speaker, Bhante Sujato, Abbott of Santi Forest Monastery in Bundanoon, talk about how mindfulness meditation can be applied to the everyday living experiences we are challenged with and how to find regular place for it in your life.  As well as being a meditator and teacher, Bhante Sujato is a scholar of early Buddhism, with several books and essays of original and often ground-breaking research.

Structure: The workshop will be a meditative retreat offering several sessions of meditation interlaced with reflections by Bhante Sujato.

When: 9am – 12pm, 21st January 2012

Where: The Bushland Chapel, Helensburgh
94 Parkes Street, Helensburgh NSW
