Touching Nirvana - The Unborn
Touching Nirvana - The Unborn
Thich Nhat Hanh
· October 28, 2010
· Thailand
The ninth exercise of mindful breathing is to recognize any mental formation that manifests, whether positive like maitri and karuna, or negative like anger and fear. In the tenth exercise, the practice of right diligence is used to water the good seeds in our consciousness, inviting joy and happiness to manifest in the here and now. The eleventh and twelfth exercises utilize the power of concentration to transform afflictions and liberate the mind through the Three Doors of Liberation:
- Emptiness
- Signlessness
- Aimlessness
The final four exercises apply these concentrations to attain liberation. The thirteenth exercise, contemplating impermanence, is a living insight that encourages us to cherish the present. The fourteenth, relinquishing, involves looking deeply into the nature of craving to see the hidden dangers that destroy body and mind. The fifteenth and sixteenth exercises focus on contemplating the unborn and letting go of four pairs of notions:
- Birth and death
- Being and non-being
- Coming and going
- Sameness and otherness
Deeply observing a cloud or a sheet of paper reveals they never pass from being into non-being; they only change form. Like a wave realizing it is water, touching our true nature of no birth and no death removes all fear and discrimination. Nirvana is not an object to run after in the future but is the extinction of wrong views, available in the here and now through every breath and step. Building a Sangha is the way to continue this practice and support each other in maintaining these insights.
