Para bhikkhu adalah  termasuk umat Buddha yang tidak menikah. Dalam Dhamma, pernikahan  bukanlah keharusan. Pernikahan adalah pilihan. Dengan demikian, seorang  umat Buddha secara bebas boleh menentukan pilihan hidup mereka  masing-masing. Mereka boleh menikah ataupun tidak menikah. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Untuk  mereka yang memilih jalan hidup berumah tangga yaitu menikah, maka  modal utama yang harus dimiliki adalah rasa cinta kepada pasangannya.  Cinta yang dimaksudkan di sini adalah kemauan seseorang untuk  membahagiakan pasangannya. Ia akan selalu bertindak, berbicara dan  berpikir agar pasangannya berbahagia. Cinta bukanlah menuntut agar  pasangannya membahagiakan dirinya. Cinta adalah memberi. Meskipun  demikian, cinta bukanlah satu-satunya modal perkawinan. Perkawinan tanpa  cinta tentu sulit dipertahankan dalam waktu lama, namun, perkawinan  hanya bermodalkan cinta tentu akan berat dijalani sehingga mendapatkan  kebahagiaan bersama. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Selain  bermodalkan cinta, kehidupan berumahtangga juga membutuhkan modal kedua  yaitu cita-cita. Cita-cita atau tujuan berumah tangga hendaknya disusun  sejak awal suami istri membangun kehidupan berkeluarga. Tujuan berumah  tangga hendaknya menjadi kesepakatan bersama antara suami istri. Dalam  Kitab Suci Agama Buddha &lt;em&gt;Tipitaka &lt;/em&gt; bagian &lt;em&gt;Anggutara Nikaya II, 65 &lt;/em&gt; disebutkan, paling tidak terdapat empat tujuan hidup para perumahtangga. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tujuan  hidup pertama adalah mempunyai kecukupan materi. Artinya, pasangan  hidup hendaknya mampu bekerja bersama, saling membantu mewujudkan tujuan  berumah tangga yaitu kecukupan materi. Dengan materi yang dianggap  cukup, suami istri mampu memenuhi kebutuhan dasar hidup manusia yaitu  makanan, pakaian, tempat tinggal serta sarana kesehatan. Ketika pasangan  itu memiliki anak, maka kebutuhan dasar dan pendidikan anak tentunya  perlu dipenuhi dengan dukungan kecukupan materi tersebut. Namun,  kecukupan materi tentu bukan diukur dari jumlah materi yang telah  diperoleh. Kecukupan sebenarnya adalah kondisi pikiran ketika seseorang  telah mampu menerima kenyataan atas materi yang telah ia dapatkan pada  saat itu. Tanpa adanya kepuasan dalam pikiran, maka kecukupan tidak akan  pernah dirasakan. Ia akan selalu merasa kekurangan dan merasa hidup  penuh penderitaan walau materi yang ia miliki sudah sangat berlimpah. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Sebagai  tujuan kedua dalam membangun rumah tangga adalah upaya suami istri  untuk mempunyai posisi atau kedudukan dalam rumah tangga maupun  masyarakat. Posisi dalam rumah tangga dapat tercapai ketika suami istri  mampu mengembangkan sikap saling menghormati. Hubungan suami istri  bukanlah hubungan antara atasan dan bawahan. Suami istri adalah pasangan  yang saling melengkapi seperti tangan kanan dan tangan kiri. Suami  istri hendaknya tidak saling menjelekkan satu sama lain, apalagi di  depan umum. Apabila pasangan sudah tidak bisa saling menghargai, tentu  orang lain juga tidak akan menghargai mereka lagi. Dengan demikian,  berawal dari kondisi suami istri yang tidak bisa saling memberikan  posisi dalam keluarga, masalah ini akan melebar menjadi hilangnya posisi  pasangan itu di mata masyarakat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Apabila  suami istri sudah mampu saling menghargai maka posisi dalam masyarakat  pun akan menguat. Apalagi mereka juga aktif mengembangkan kebajikan  melalui ucapan, perbuatan dan pikiran. Dengan demikian, kehadiran mereka  selalu dinantikan oleh masyarakat. Kehadiran mereka selalu menjadi  sumber kebahagiaan masyarakat. Mereka dihargai dan dihormati masyarakat.  Mereka adalah mutiara di tengah masyarakat. Posisi ini jelas akan  menimbulkan kebahagiaan dan kedamaian kemanapun pasangan itu  bermasyarakat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tujuan ketiga  yang perlu dimiliki pasangan suami istri yang menginginkan hidup  berbahagia adalah mendapatkan kesehatan serta usia yang relatif panjang.  Pasangan suami istri akan hidup sehat apabila mereka rajin melaksanakan  berbagai saran ahli kesehatan. Dengan mempunyai kesehatan yang baik  serta berusia panjang, suami istri akan mampu hidup lebih lama untuk  saling membahagiakan, saling menjaga, saling melindungi serta saling  mencintai. Adapun kesehatan yang dimaksudkan di sini tentunya bukan  hanya kesehatan fisik atau badan jasmani saja, melainkan termasuk pula  kesehatan batin yaitu terpenuhinya kebutuhan akan kasih sayang,  perhatian, rasa dihargai dsb. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tujuan  keempat sebuah rumah tangga adalah mencapai kebahagiaan dan  keharmonisan suami istri dalam kehidupan ini maupun kehidupan yang  selanjutnya. Diharapkan, dengan berbagai kebajikan ucapan, badan serta  pikiran yang selalu dilaksanakan setiap waktu, pasangan suami istri juga  akan mendapatkan kebahagiaan setelah kehidupan ini. Mereka dalam  kehidupan ini bisa berbahagia dalam rumah tangga maupun hidup  bermasyarakat. Mereka mampu membagikan kecukupan materi yang dimiliki  demi kebahagiaan fihak lain. Mereka mampu menggunakan posisi dalam  masyarakat untuk membahagiakan lingkungan yang lebih besar. Mereka juga  mampu melakukan semua kebajikan itu dalam waktu yang lama karena usia  mereka panjang. Maka dengan segala kebajikan yang telah dilakukan  tersebut akan mengkondisikan mereka hidup berbahagia di dunia ini maupun  di kehidupan yang akan datang. Mereka mungkin akan terlahir bahagia di  salah satu alam surga. Lebih jauh lagi, mungkin saja pasangan suami  istri yang saling mencintai dan membahagiakan ini akan bersama terlahir  kembali sebagai suami istri di berbagai kehidupan berikutnya. Hal ini  sangat wajar. Dikisahkan dalam riwayat hidup Sang Buddha, Pangeran  Siddhattha dan Yasodhara selalu terlahir sebagai pasangan hidup sampai  547 kali kehidupan. Inilah tujuan keempat dalam suatu rumah tangga yang  berbahagia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Oleh karena itu,  agar keempat tujuan berumah tangga tersebut dapat dicapai, jadikanlah  kehidupan suami istri sebagai langkah awal untuk berkarya bersama sesuai  dengan Ajaran Sang Buddha. Jadikanlah pasangan hidup sebagai teman  untuk mengisi setiap waktu kehidupan dengan berbuat kebajikan melalui  badan, ucapan dan juga pikiran. Kebersamaan dalam cinta untuk bersama  selalu berbuat baik inilah yang akan memberikan kebahagiaan kepada suami  istri dalam kehidupan ini maupun kehidupan-kehidupan yang selanjutnya. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Semoga  penjelasan singkat ini memberikan manfaat untuk para pasangan hidup  dalam menentukan sikap dan karya nyata mereka di masyarakat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Semoga semuanya selalu berbahagia dalam Buddha Dhamma &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Semoga semua mahluk hidup selalu berbahagia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                 &lt;p style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sabbe satta bhavantu sukhitatta.

Ada hal untuk dikejar...&lt;br /&gt;
Ada hal untuk ditinggalkan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mengapa kita harus mengejar dan meninggalkan?&lt;br /&gt;
Untuk maju ke depan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bagaimana jika kita mengejar yang harus dikejar dan yang harus ditinggalkan?&lt;br /&gt;
Kita akan tetap berada di tempat kita sekarang.&lt;br /&gt;

Bagaimana jika kita tidak mengejar keduanya?&lt;br /&gt;

Why? Consider ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a person consists of mentality (nama) and material (rupa)
this nama and rupa are caused by attachment (upadana)
now, someone who has destroyed all attachment, will have nama and rupa to disappear too...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the question, if a person is composed solely of nama and rupa, and the nama and rupa disappear, then what would be left? Nothing, and wouldn't it means extinction?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To answer this question, I would propose another view,let's see for example&lt;br /&gt;
1 minus 1 = 0 -&gt; nothing left ... but&lt;br/ &gt;
1 negated = -1 -&gt; something new&lt;br /&gt;
Nibbana is not disapperance of nama and rupa (1 - 1), instead nibbana is a negation (a-sankhara) of nama and rupa (sankhara), thus someone leaps from sankhara (which is impermanent, painful, and not-I) to something a-sankhara (which is permanent and not painful, but still not-I).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-113741619720714030?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/113741619720714030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=113741619720714030' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/113741619720714030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/113741619720714030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2006/01/nibbana-is-not-extinction.html' title='Nibbana is not extinction'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-113739158778224565</id><published>2006-01-16T13:06:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2006-01-16T13:07:32.533+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ideal</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Define an ideal person:&lt;br /&gt;
Nice, generous, virtuous, wise, kind, helpful, friendly, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
Someone has this idealism. He sees himself not like that, nor he see others like that. Failed to find his idealism, he lives in dream of his idealism. He ignores the real world, because it's not ideal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Define an ideal person:&lt;br /&gt;
(the person) trying to be nice, trying to be virtuous, trying to be helpful, trying to be friendly, trying to be better than now.&lt;br /&gt;
Someone has this idealism. He sees himself trying to be like that, and he feels satisfied. He sees himself not trying to be so, and he changes himself to be ideal by trying to be so. He sees others trying to be so, and he feels satisfied. He sees others not trying to be so, and he urges them trying to be so.&lt;/p&gt;

This is my birthday, but I never feel happy about birthday. I always said, more age, more near to death. Biasanya tanggal 7 berlalu seperti hari biasa, tapi hari ini banyak sekali yang memberikan ucapan ulang tahun, even my own mom, call me at late night, saying 'happy birthday'. Honestly, I'm happier if everyone tells me 'beware, beware, your time is nearer' in this day.

Feels bad. But then I think, orang itu kalau lagi sakit atau akan meninggal baru berpikir, what have I done in my life. Apa nasibku selanjutnya ... And suddenly all the things we have and we after for terlihat menjadi tidak berharga. Karena memang ada yang lebih berharga, dan apa itu ? Apakah kita telah menggunakan kesempatan untuk hidup ini dengan sebaiknya. But, no. I'm not taking about mumpung masih hidup, maka gunakanlah hidup ini dengan sebaiknya, nikmatilah hari-harimu. Karena bila demikian kita menjadi seperti orang buta yang tahu sedang berjalan menuju jurang, tapi malah tetap bersenang-senang.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Karena hidup tidak berakhir dengan kematian. Mengapa tidak ? Because life is fair, but people are not. Orang akan menerima hasil sesuai dengan perbuatannya. So I'm just thinking, maybe, if we can live like we are going to die, then we may see things that we may not see before. That there are things more precious to after for, and that there are things precious that we already have. It's just that we cannot see them, or that we don't want to see those things. We are blinded by the world, money, and stuffs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sekarang, saya jadi kepikiran ... m...m, apa jadinya bila kita melatih maranasati ? Bila kita dapat hidup seperti kita akan mati ?

&lt;p&gt;Ketika berusaha mencapai bodhi, sang bodhisatta yang telah bertahun-tahun berusaha dengan keras menyiksa diri menghindari kesenangan, teringat pada kebahagiaan jhana yang dicapainya di bawah pohon ketika bermeditasi waktu kecil. Sang bodhisatta berpikir, kesenangan ini adalah bukan untuk dihindari, tapi untuk dikembangkan. Dan kesenangan itulah awal dari jalan yang membawa pada bodhi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dengan kesenangan yang tepat, pikiran akan terkonsentasi. Pikiran yang terkosentrasi, dapat melihat segala sesuatu dengan sebenarnya.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indeed, kesenangan itu sendiri, bisa membuat kita melekat pada samsara, tapi kesenangan itu juga bisa membebaskan kita dari samsara.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112946231255960155?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112946231255960155/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112946231255960155' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112946231255960155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112946231255960155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/10/kesenangan.html' title='Kesenangan'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112926700197501209</id><published>2005-10-14T12:02:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-10-14T13:44:32.336+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Never give up!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="pre"&gt;Aku hampir putus asa saat menyadari bahwa:

Ketika KESOMBONGAN muncul, aku tidak sadar;
Ketika KEMARAHAN muncul, aku tidak sadar;
Ketika KEBENCIAN muncul, aku tidak sadar;

Saat KEGELISAHAN muncul dengan tiba-tiba, aku tidak sadar;
Saat KEBAHAGIAAN membuai dengan lembut, aku tidak sadar;
Saat KESEDIHAN meresap ke dalam hati, aku tidak sadar;

Ketika KEMALASAN muncul,
   aku tidak menguatkan diriku untuk melawannya;
Ketika KERAGU-RAGUAN muncul,
   aku malah berpikir untuk berhenti berusaha;
Ketika merasa LELAH BERJUANG,
   aku mulai mencari jalan pintas untuk menghilangkan
   dahaga ku akan kebahagiaan semu.

Terlebih lagi ketika aku merasa sudah sangat terpuruk
dalam lingkaran samsara ini dan 
betapa sulitnya mengalahkan diri sendiri.
Jadi apa yang harus aku lakukan?

APAKAH AKU HARUS BERHENTI BERJUANG?
BILA BERHENTI AKU TIDAK AKAN MENDAPAT APA-APA, 
MALAH SEMAKIN TERPURUK.

Ajaran yang dapat memberikan kebebasan
Sesuatu seperti, yang bila kita menemukannya,
dan berkata, Ah
Yang dapat menyalakan lampu di kepala, dan
Setelah itu, dengan mengingat ajaran itu,
Dengan mudah berjalan sesuai ajaran.

Tapi ... ternyata ...
Ajaran tidak membebaskan
Buku tidak membebaskan
Kata-kata tidak membebaskan
Pengelihatan tidak membebaskan
Pendengaran tidak membebaskan
Penciuman tidak membebaskan
Rasa tidak membebaskan
Sentuhan tidak membebaskan.

Lalu ... apa yang membebaskan seseorang ?
Panna yang membebaskan seseorang.
Dan di mana kita dapat menemukan panna ini ?
Di dalam diri kita sendiri ...

Jadi selanjutnya,
Pay much attention to yourself,
And you'll find that liberating wisdom
Just inside.

The world is like a mirror.
If you think negatively to it,
Then you will act negatively to it,
And so it will react negatively to you.

If you think positively to it,
Then you will act positively to it,
And so the world will be kind to you too.

&lt;p&gt;If you suffer from ill health or disease, and if you have no other remedy to alleviate the pain and suffering, the meditational practice upon the suffering of illness can give at least some relief if it cannot give you a complete cure. If the pain and suffering remain in your body, the meditational practice can render relief to your mind. But if you are angry or irritated by the physical suffering, your mind will suffer, too. The Buddha compared this dual suffering to being pierced by two thorns at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let us say a man has a thorn in his flesh, and he tries to extract the thorn by piercing another thorn into his flesh. The second thorn breaks into the flesh without being able to extract the first thorn. Then the man suffers the pain from two thorns at the same time. So also, the person who cannot make a note of the physical pain in a meditational manner suffers both physical and mental pain. But if he can ponder well upon the physical pain, he will suffer only that pain, and will not suffer mental pain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This kind of suffering — only physical pain — is like that suffered by the Buddha and arahants, for they, too, suffer physical pain. They suffer from ill-effects of heat and cold, insect bites, and other kinds of discomfort. Though they suffer from the physical dukkha, their minds remain stable, so they do not suffer mental pain. The meditational method is a very effective remedy for physical pain and suffering.&lt;/p&gt;

Ajahn Brahmavamso, dan saya mendapatkan sebuah hal yang menarik.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ceritanya Bhante tersebut waktu masih dalam pelatihan, mendapatkan pekerjaan yang menyusahkan. Dan ada rekannya yang berkata,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;And I always remember one monk coming up to me and saying, ‘It’s pushing the wheelbarrow is easy, it’s the thinking about it which is hard.’ And that’s changed the whole perspective of what I was doing. As soon as I stopped complaining and moaning, it was easy to push that wheelbarrow, in fact it felt much lighter. And this is actually how I learned about the secrets, one of the secrets, of monastic life. Didn’t matter what you were doing, whether you were sitting for hours and hours and hours in your hut, whether you were working building a monastery, there’s a thinking about it which made it hard.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jadi, bila kita menghadapi pekerjaan berat dan kita merasa tertekan, bukan pekerjaan itu yang harus kita fokuskan, tapi pada pikiran kita. Pikiran kitalah yang harus kita atasi. So..., jangan atasi hal yang salah !!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, at the moment we stop thinking it's hard, at the moment also the work became easy. Why ? Because what makes it hard is the thinking itself. &lt;em&gt;So stop complaining and worrying right now, and life an easy life !!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112626899764116085?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.parami.org/duta/brahmavamso.htm' title='The Thinking That Makes Hard'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112626899764116085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112626899764116085' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112626899764116085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112626899764116085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/09/thinking-that-makes-hard.html' title='The Thinking That Makes Hard'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112573545180606576</id><published>2005-09-03T15:17:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-09-03T15:17:31.826+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Practice and Potention</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Everyone can run, but what makes an athlete ?&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ketika kita berlatih satipatthana, objek pikiran kita saat itu adalah perbuatan yang sedang kita lakukan. Misalnya bila kita sedang belajar, kita menyadari bahwa kita sedang belajar. Namun bila apa yang kita sadari pada saat itu adalah bahwa kita sedang belajar, bagaimana kita bisa belajar. Karena itu adalah dua objek yang berbeda.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lalu saya berpikir, perhatian dan pengetahuan adalah cetasika, yaitu sati dan panna yang menyertai citta yang muncul. Citta itu memiliki objeknya sendiri. Berlatih satipatthana berarti mengembangkan sati dan panna yang ada ketika kita melakukan sesuatu.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Akhirnya saya sampai pada kesimpulan, berlatih satipatthana adalah&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Melakukan sesuatu dengan perhatian dan pengetahuan&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;bukan &lt;em&gt;memiliki perhatian dan pengetahuan bahwa kita sedang melakukan sesuatu&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112503341895687998?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112503341895687998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112503341895687998' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112503341895687998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112503341895687998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/08/melatih-perhatian-dan-pengetahuan.html' title='Melatih Perhatian dan Pengetahuan'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112493232846517705</id><published>2005-08-25T08:12:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-08-26T12:23:03.480+07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Cart Is Going</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote style="white-space:pre"&gt;There is a cart drawn by four cows.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Untuk setiap saat kita harus mencapai kondisi ideal, misalnya ketika bermeditasi, tiap saat berlatih pikiran kita harus terkonsentrasi penuh pada objek.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tidak dapat mencapai kondisi ideal tersebut adalah kegagalan.
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Namun hal-hal itu adalah pandangan yang salah.&lt;br/&gt;
Ketika berlatih, maka mengatasi kesulitan yang muncul itu adalah &lt;strong&gt;latihan itu sendiri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Apa yang dimaksud berlatih meditasi ?&lt;br/&gt;
Adalah mengembalikan pikiran ketika ia pergi dari objek meditasi ke objek itu lagi&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Apa yang dimaksud berlatih sila ?&lt;br/&gt;
Adalah mengambil kembali sila yang telah dilanggar. Kedengarannya aneh, tapi ingat, kita berlatih sila karena selama ini kita melanggarnya. Bila kita tidak melanggarnya, kita tidak perlu melatihnya.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;When practicing, remember, we will fail for now and tomorrow, &lt;emph&gt;but not for ever&lt;emph&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Perubahan pada orang disekitar kita, pada tubuh kita, pada hidup kita, dan hidup orang-orang di sekitar kita. Juga pada prestasi kita, pada pandangan orang lain tentang diri kita, pada pandangan kita tentang org lain, pada perasaan kita, dan lain sebagainya.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Saat perubahaan yang tidak menyenangkan terjadi, sanggupkah kita menghadapinya ? karena dengan kemelekatan yang muncul tanpa kita sadari, akan diperlukan energi yang luar biasa untuk mampu menghadapinya. Jadi, waspadalah. Tapi bagaimana dengan kemelekatan yang sudah muncul ??? Kira-kira berapa juta liter air mata yang masih akan keluar ? Masih cukupkah energimu ?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hati-hatilah bila tersenyum karena sesuatu atau seseorang, perhatikanlah apakah satu kemelekatan telah muncul dalam dirimu ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112443381798385688?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112443381798385688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112443381798385688' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112443381798385688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112443381798385688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/08/perubahan_19.html' title='Perubahan'/><author><name>Mel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02714014873333975347</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112434869046063784</id><published>2005-08-18T13:52:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-08-19T19:19:27.083+07:00</updated><title type='text'>When ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;Everyday is a new beginning of being a person and every moment is a time for self-vigilance.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Mudah dimengerti dan memberikan semangat. Bila sering direnungkan, tentu akan membawa
akibat baik yang besar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote style="white-space:pre"&gt;A person stashes a fund away,
deep underground, at the water line:
"When a need or duty arises,
this will provide for my needs,
for my release if I'm denounced by the king,
molested by thieves,
in case of debt, famine, or accidents."
With aims like this
    in the world
a reserve fund is stashed away. 

But no matter how well it's stored,
deep underground, at the water line,
it won't all always serve one's need.
The fund gets shifted from its place,
or one's memory gets confused;
    or -- unseen -- 
    water serpents make off with it,
    spirits steal it,
    or hateful heirs run off with it.
When one's merit's ended,
it's totally destroyed. 

But when a man or woman
has laid aside a well-stored fund
of giving, virtue,
restraint, &amp; self-control,
    with regard to a shrine,
    the Sangha,
    a fine individual,
    guests,
    mother, father,
    or elder sibling:
That's a well-stored fund.
    It can't be wrested away.
    It follows you along.
When, having left this world,
    for wherever you must go,
    you take it with you.
This fund is not held in common with others,
&amp; cannot be stolen by thieves.


So, prudent, you should make merit,
the fund that will follow you along.
This is the fund
that gives all they want
to beings human, divine. 

Whatever devas aspire to,
    all that is gained by this.
A fine complexion, fine voice,
a body well-built, well-formed,
lordship, a following:
    all that is gained by this.
Earthly kingship, supremacy,
the bliss of an emperor,
kingship over devas in the heavens:
    all that is gained by this.
The attainment of the human state,
any delight in heaven,
the attainment of Unbinding:
    all that is gained by this.
Excellent friends,
appropriate application, [1]
mastery of clear knowing &amp; release: [2]
    all that is gained by this.
Acumen, [3] emancipations, [4]
the perfection of disciplehood:
    all that is gained by this.
Private Awakening, [5]
Buddhahood:
    all that is gained by this. 

So powerful is this,
    the accomplishment of merit.
Thus the wise, the prudent,
    praise the fund of merit
    already made.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112398791379696365?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.accesstoinsight.org/canon/sutta/khuddaka/khp/khp.html#8' title='Nidhi Kanda -- The Reserve Fund'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112398791379696365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112398791379696365' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112398791379696365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112398791379696365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/08/nidhi-kanda-reserve-fund.html' title='Nidhi Kanda -- The Reserve Fund'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112398770591140539</id><published>2005-08-14T09:44:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-08-14T09:49:25.516+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tirokudda Kanda -- Hungry Shades Outside the Walls</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Sutta ini menurut saya adalah salah satu sutta yang paling mudah dicerna dan menginspirasikan pikiran. Bila direnungkan maka dapat membawa pengaruh yang baik.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote style="white-space:pre"&gt;Outside the walls they stand,
  &amp; at crossroads.
At door posts they stand,
  returning to their old homes.
But when a meal with plentiful food &amp; drink is served,
  no one remembers them:
Such is the kamma of living beings. 

Thus those who feel sympathy for their dead relatives
give timely donations of proper food &amp; drink
  -- exquisite, clean -- 
[thinking:] "May this be for our relatives.
    May our relatives be happy!" 

And those who have gathered there,
  the assembled shades of the relatives,
with appreciation give their blessing
for the plentiful food &amp; drink:
  "May our relatives live long
  because of whom we have gained [this gift].
  We have been honored,
  and the donors are not without reward!" 

For there [in their realm] there's
  no farming,
  no herding of cattle,
  no commerce,
  no trading with money.
They live on what is given here,
  hungry shades
  whose time here is done. 

As water raining on a hill
flows down to the valley,
  even so does what is given here
  benefit the dead.
As rivers full of water
fill the ocean full,
  even so does what is given here
  benefit the dead. 

"He gave to me, she acted on my behalf,
  they were my relatives, companions, friends":
Offerings should be given for the dead
when one reflects thus
on things done in the past.
For no weeping,
  no sorrowing
  no other lamentation
    benefits the dead
    whose relatives persist in that way.
But when this offering is given, well-placed in the Sangha,
it works for their long-term benefit
and they profit immediately.


In this way     
the proper duty to relatives has been shown,
  great honor has been done to the dead,
  and monks have been given strength: 

The merit you've acquired
  isn't small.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112398770591140539?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.accesstoinsight.org/canon/sutta/khuddaka/khp/khp.html#7' title='Tirokudda Kanda -- Hungry Shades Outside the Walls'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112398770591140539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112398770591140539' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112398770591140539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112398770591140539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/08/tirokudda-kanda-hungry-shades-outside.html' title='Tirokudda Kanda -- Hungry Shades Outside the Walls'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112391110094093026</id><published>2005-08-13T12:31:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-08-13T12:32:23.603+07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Art Of Reflection</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Well, have to investigate this first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112391110094093026?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112391110094093026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112391110094093026' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112391110094093026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112391110094093026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/08/art-of-reflection.html' title='The Art Of Reflection'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112391181001056484</id><published>2005-08-13T12:13:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-08-13T12:43:30.016+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Meditasi Langit Biru</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Apapun yang sifatnya datang dan pergi ketika meditasi (entah itu keinginan, rasa bersalah, dll) hanyalah awan-awan gelap yang mengenal hukum datang dan pergi.

Entah siang atau malam, kelihatan atau tidak kelihatan, langit biru tetap disana. Ada keabadian disana.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Demikian juga dalam keseharian, ketika hidup ini dipermainkan oleh keinginan, kekhawatiran, dan ketakutan. Duduklah di kursi kakek yang penuh pengertian, lihat sang cucu (baca: keinginan dan ketakutan, suka dan duka, kematian dan kehidupan) berlari kesana kemari. Tapi tidak akan kemana-mana larinya.

&lt;li&gt;Try to focus on a single breath span
&lt;blockquote&gt;This is an opportunity for developing 'samadhi' (concentration) through mustering all your attention just on the sensation of breathing. So at this time use your full commitment to that one point for the length of an inhalation, and the length of an exhalation. You are not trying to do it for, say, fifteen minutes, because you would never succeed at that, if that were your designated span of time for one-pointed concentration. So use this span of an inhalation and an exhalation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Success depends more on patience than on will-power
&lt;blockquote&gt;Now the success of this depends on your patience rather than on your will-power, because the mind does wander and we always have to patiently go back to the breath.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;One goal is to have a balanced effort throughout the process
&lt;blockquote&gt;So we are using the length of an inhalation and the length of an exhalation in order to limit the effort to just this length of time within which to sustain attention. Put forth effort at the beginning of the exhalation to sustain it through that, through the exhalation to the end, and then again with the inhalation. Eventually it becomes even, and one is said to have 'samadhi' when it seems effortless.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dulu saya pernah baca, anjing bila sedang senang maka ia akan menggerak-gerakkan ekornya. Tapi waktu itu saya baru cuma tahu, karena saya tidak dekat dengan anjing manapun, plus takut juga. Tapi karena cuma tahu, maka saya juga cuma 50% percaya akan kebenarannya, alias &lt;em&gt;I can't count on it&lt;/em&gt;, bisa benar bisa salah.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tapi sekarang ketika melihat anjing yang bisa saya beri makan (atau dibalik, ketika anjing itu melihat saya) anjing-anjing itu selalu menggerak-gerakkan ekornya. Dan saat ini saya mengerti karena telah melihat sendiri. Tidak ada lagi keraguan, tidak ada lagi spekulasi. Saya tidak lagi perlu pendapat orang lain untuk mempercayai hal ini.

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jam 7 mama tanya, "udah makan belum ?". OK, tidak ada jawaban lain :P.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jam 8 perut sudah agak perih, tidak masalah sih kalau cuma perih. Hanya terakhir seperti ini yang terjadi adalah &lt;em&gt;a full night with pain&lt;/em&gt;, sepertinya otot perut saya kram, dan itu benar-benar sakit dan sering pula. Jadi tidak mau ambil resiko deh.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So what's next&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ubah sila keenam menjadi mengurangi makan di atas jam 12. Dengan demikian, dua hal di atas dapat diatasi. &lt;em&gt;At least, it's better than not&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bahkan Angulimala, si pembunuh pun bisa menjadi bhikkhu yg baik dan mencapai &lt;i&gt;arahat&lt;/i&gt;. Memang berlatih &lt;i&gt;sila&lt;/i&gt; dan kesadaran akan membuat kita terkekang, bahkan kebiasaan kita terdahulu, akan dengan mudah menarik kita ke-"kecenderungan" kita.

&lt;p&gt;Sang Buddha menjadi Buddha karena kedisiplinan. Bahkan Ia, sebelum menjadi Buddha, banyak melakukan kesalahan dan mengalami kegagalan.

sangat sulit untuk dihilangkan.
Seringkali kita menyalahkan segala sesuatu di luar diri kita
dengan mengatakan bahwa mereka tidak mendukung kita.
Atau di lain waktu kita mengatakan sudah berusaha
namun tidak berhasil.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tanyalah dirimu: "Benarkah sudah berusaha?"
Kita mengatakan berusaha padahal kita masih 
memikirkannya (berkhayal melakukannya) atau 
sudah berusaha tapi masih memaafkan diri kita
dengan mengijinkan kita melakukan sedikit perbuatan buruk itu
dengan dalih :"masih latihan, tak apalah sedikit".
Kalau begini, kapan akan berhasil? 
Perjuangan melawan nafsu adalah perjuangan yang 
tak ada akhirnya namun ada hasilnya.

sudah tak memiliki waktu lagi,

Disaat org yg kita cintai 
ternyata tdk mencintai kita, 
aduh rasanya dunia berhenti berputar,
jantung berhenti berdetak. 
Kira2 sedemikian kejamnya cinta itu :)

Well yang pasti sih nothing last forever,
so this kind of thing akan berakhir with bad end.

Karena dalam friendship, there's no string attached,
No string attached, berarti tidak ada tali yang akan putus.

Death is everywhere, death is everywhere.

Near you there is someone dying,
Also in the other direction.
Find any hospital,
And find death too.

Even beneath your feet,
There is death.

Follow the ants,
And you'll find death.

Up climb a tree,
And you'll see death.

Go to a cemetery,
And see the sign of death.

Go to a store,
And see the sigh of death.
The meats, they exist because of death.

No, no, we can not fight death.
Look, don't you see,
It is everywhere.

This world is really the reign of death.
Death will take all that we have.
Death will take them all,
Your parents, your friends, your children,
All the people you care.
And when that happen, 
Would you grief ?

See the reality,
Sun rises from east,
And dives to west.
So does death will take them all,
And ourselves too.
And there is no reason to feel grief.

Even your body is not yours.
It is belong to death.

I will die,
I have not evercome death.
And death is everywhere.
And death is everytime.

Fortunately I am not alone, so everytime I'm thinking of giving it up, I just have to imagine how shame it would be :P when... other than (bakal kena marah?) :P.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To meditate is so... difficult -_-. I have to set a lot of my precious time (yang sebenarnya cuma banyak dipakai untuk nothing -_-), and then I have to find a comfortable place and position. After that I have to work hard to concentrate my mind which is so... (licin?) like (belut?). After that I will have a (kesemutan?). And after that I will be sleepy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To meditate is so... difficult -_-. And I am just thinking if I get it wrong. Maybe I'm having a false view on this. Isn't this meditation is only to set a time for yourself and go relax, watching things come and go. Life everyday is confusing, and so we need to recharge our mind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To meditate is easy then ^.^. Jadi sepertinya istilahnya harus diganti nih, bukan "kerja" tapi "relax". Kita butuh waktu "relax" yang cukup agar pikiran jernih dari kesemerawutan hidup di dunia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112333385553213023?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112333385553213023/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112333385553213023' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112333385553213023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112333385553213023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/08/have-lighter-view.html' title='Have a Lighter View'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112304224493713308</id><published>2005-08-03T10:05:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-08-03T17:37:43.460+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Meditation: Mirror of the Mind</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Mind when meditating is a mirror of the state of oneself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jika pikiran yang ada adalah pikiran yang penuh dengan kilesa, maka ketika meditasi kita akan mengalami banyak kesulitan, pikiran sulit terkonsentrasi.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jika pikiran yang ada adalah pikiran yang bersih, maka ketika meditasi kita akan dengan mudah mengkonsentrasikan pikiran kita.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bersih tidaknya pikiran kita disebabkan oleh apa yang kita lakukan sehari-hari.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Oleh karena itulah mengapa sila berperan sangat penting untuk keberhasilan meditasi.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Entah kenapa melaksanakan sila itu tidak seperti melatih meditasi. Dalam melaksanakan sila kita perlu terus-menerus waspada, berinteraksi dengan dunia luar di mana banyak sekali gangguan. Coba saja ketika sedang mengerjakan tugas, pikiran sedang &lt;i&gt;mumet&lt;/i&gt;, tiba-tiba terdengar suara &lt;i&gt;nguing-nguing&lt;/i&gt; dan tidak terasa tangan tiba-tiba bergerak dan &lt;i&gt;plak&lt;/i&gt;. Untunglah setelah dilihat ternyata tidak ada apa-apa di tangan.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Atau begini deh contoh lainnya, kamu sedang ujian lisan. Tiba-tiba dosen bertanya dan karena kamu tidak ingin terkesan malas, kamu memberi alasan, "&lt;i&gt;soalnya begini Pak&lt;/i&gt;". Nah itu sudah jelas &lt;i&gt;berbohong&lt;/i&gt; kan. Tapi &lt;i&gt;berbohongnya&lt;/i&gt; itu disebabkan oleh sejuta alasan pada saat itu dimana alasan utama adalah rasa takut dan malu (yang jelas bukan rasa takut Otappa dan malu Hiri).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nah &lt;i&gt;you see&lt;/i&gt;, menjalankan sila itu tidak semudah meditasi (yay, should we said that meditation is easy?). Yang jelas, dalam meditasi kita bisa menyingkirkan penghalang yang ada (suara, panas, etc). Tapi dalam melaksanakan sila, kita malah dihadapkan pada semua jenis penghalang itu. Benar-benar berperang melawan diri sendiri.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oke, cukup latar belakangnya, sekarang bagian &lt;i&gt;term and definition&lt;/i&gt; (hehe...kaya laporan penelitian saja :P). This is war, and who are the enemies ? Musuhnya adalah semua penghalang itu, rasa malu dan takut atas kesalahan diri sendiri, keserakahan, nafsu, benci, kesal, marah, iri hati, sedih, rasa suka, penyesalan, keinginan, rasa malas, dan 1000 musuh lainnya (padahal saya sudah mentok nih cari kata-katanya :]). Untuk menghadapi musuh-musuh ini kita perlu senjata. Ya senjata yang &lt;i&gt;powerful&lt;/i&gt;. Dan &lt;i&gt;The Teacher&lt;/i&gt; telah memberikan senjata itu dengan gratis pada kita. Yaitu adalah Hiri dan Otappa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The question is now: how to use the weapon?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Saya cari manualnya dulu yah :D.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112289548484664044?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112289548484664044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112289548484664044' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112289548484664044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112289548484664044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/08/hiri-dan-otappa.html' title='Hiri dan Otappa'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112288530182128783</id><published>2005-08-01T15:24:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-08-01T15:36:58.766+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Practice Note 01/08/2005</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;These things may help:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hirup udara segar pagi hari&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don't stop when meditating&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ketika awal, biarkan pikiran tenang dulu. Konsentrasi akan muncul dengan sendirinya. Biarkan terjadi secara alami.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Amati pikiran, ketika pikiran pergi kembalikan ke objeknya.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today experiences:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pertama badan rasanya pegel, tapi setelah beberapa lama, rasa pegel itu hilang =&gt; jangan berhenti jika posisi yang digunakan dirasa kurang enak.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sesi pertama berlangsung lebih baik, sesi kedua pikiran tidak dapat dikendalikan dan berakhir dengan &lt;nobr&gt;(-_-)zzzZZZ&lt;/nobr&gt; :(&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nafas menjadi seperti titik, perlu cara agar dapat melihat objek dengan jelas.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ven. Ajahn Brahmavamso describes &lt;a href="http://www.bswa.org/modules/icontent/index.php?page=93"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; that meditation is a training. It is like a work every day. We do not gain the payment every day, but because of the working every day, we can enjoy payment at the end of the month. There is, however something that we can learn everytime we meditate. But I often unconscious about anything I have learned, thus I will try to reflect and write the result here about things that I have learned everytime I meditate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;First, there is tension. The breath seem like being forced.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I always end up with being sleepy or my mind being very distracted that I feel like do not want to hold it anymore.&lt;/li&gt;

Also any fallacy or false belief is also welcome here.&lt;br/&gt;
(-_-) ...zzzZZZ &lt;- this is sleeping not meditating, hehe... ,&lt;br/&gt;
(O_O) and this is (sepasang mata bola?)&lt;br/&gt;
instead we have to seek balance like this (o_o).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I put tips here not because I'm an experienced meditator, but because of I have always be failed in my meditation practice. Thus I need a lot lot of insight to stop me from following the wrong path.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meditate to meditate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/index.php?showtopic=16887"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/index.php?showtopic=16887&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is important is the meditation itself and not the achievement. When we meditate we have to focus on the process, stop thinking about any achievement that we want. Any achievement is &lt;em&gt;the fruit, &lt;/em&gt;like kamma, if we spend our time thinking about the result of good deed but not performing the deed itself, then it would be of no use then.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let the flow comes by itself and focus on your task. Your task is to concentrate your mind, do it and let go of all else.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Control the mind by day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/index.php?showtopic=16887"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/index.php?showtopic=16887&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This means to practice sila all the day. If we do not control the mind all the day, then it will be more difficult to put the mind into focus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mental Attitude&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:85%"&gt;From:&lt;a href="http://www.bswa.org/modules/icontent/index.php?page=93"&gt;http://www.bswa.org/modules/icontent/index.php?page=93&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Renunciation. From what? From the five senses.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

We can find evil both outside and inside. &lt;br /&gt;
To defeat evil outside, we have to defeat evil inside first.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the Dhammapada, it is said that, &lt;br /&gt;
the biggest war is between one and oneself. &lt;br /&gt;
And what is meant by defeating oneself ?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is to defeat evil in oneself. &lt;br /&gt;
Because if there is no evil in oneself, what would need &lt;br /&gt;
to be defeated in oneself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Start now... &lt;br /&gt;
Consciousness will be your shield, &lt;br /&gt;
Wisdom will be your sword. &lt;br /&gt;
These are known as the pair of sati-sampajjana.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112272756178761754?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112272756178761754/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112272756178761754' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112272756178761754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112272756178761754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/07/fight-evil.html' title='Fight the Evil'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112265345486228455</id><published>2005-07-29T23:04:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-07-31T19:47:12.796+07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Basic Instinct</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;To preserve its life,&lt;br /&gt;

"Apakah hanya berbicara tentang Dhamma tapi tidak &lt;small&gt;(OK bukan tidak, just not yet :P)&lt;/small&gt; mempraktekkannya adalah baik atau buruk ?"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mengutip link di bawah:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;.... But in regard to the word Arammana, there are both good and evil Arammana. If the Arammana is not good it is poison to the heart and inflames the Citta causing it to be troubled and anxious. If the Arammana is good it makes the Citta cool and happy, and then it becomes buried in that Citta, which is what they call Upanissaya, [35] or Vasana Parami, [36] which means "the continuous building up of what is good and right." However much this has been developed, it will be buried down in the Citta of that person until it becomes increasing Nissaya Vasana. [37] When the heart changes and moves off to another place, another life (Bhava), another realm (Bhumi), it must depend on the virtue that one has done and the amount of it that one has accumulated in one's heart (Citta). This is what turns the Citta making it go in a good direction to have Sugati, that which is hoped for, and this is where one lives and experiences.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ketika berbicara tentang ajaran, pikiran menjadi tenang. Dengan pikiran tenang paňňa muncul. Ketika paňňa muncul, pengetahuan muncul.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are still much happiness in this world.&lt;br/&gt;

It is just getting heavier to walk in the right way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112247057294299430?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112247057294299430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112247057294299430' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112247057294299430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112247057294299430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/07/reborn-as-human-again.html' title='Reborn as Human Again'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112246741541727795</id><published>2005-07-27T19:10:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-07-31T19:53:42.830+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thinking About Death</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Death is hidden,&lt;br/&gt;
Its steps are unpredictable.&lt;br/&gt;
It may cut our lifeline at anytime.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can die today, tomorrow, or later on.&lt;br/&gt;
How many times have I heard this,&lt;br/&gt;
But I'm still acting like there's a lot of time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What one often thinks of make oneself.&lt;br/&gt;
What one does not often thinks do not really count.&lt;br/&gt;
I only seldom hear the death warning.&lt;br/&gt;
As seldom as thinking about it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;"Now when a man is truly wise, &lt;br/&gt;
His constant task will surely be, &lt;br/&gt;
This recollection about death, &lt;br/&gt;
Blessed with such mighty potency."&lt;br/&gt;
(Visuddhi Magga)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Untuk dapat merasakan urgensi dari kematian, kita perlu merenungkannya sering kali. Hanya mendengar beberapa kali tidak memberikan manfaat besar.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14824645-112246741541727795?l=karaniya.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/feeds/112246741541727795/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14824645&amp;postID=112246741541727795' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112246741541727795'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14824645/posts/default/112246741541727795'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://karaniya.blogspot.com/2005/07/thinking-about-death.html' title='Thinking About Death'/><author><name>Char</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18324699708584889955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/kuser.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14824645.post-112244137155874255</id><published>2005-07-27T12:12:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2005-07-31T19:54:58.826+07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Best Gift</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;A best gift it might be,&lt;br/&gt;

But I hope you take it seriously and have any benefit from it :).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These photos are taken from the Internet. I hope the authors won't be mind if I use their photos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These pictures are from &lt;a href="http://www.wakeupsmart.com/Asubha.html"&gt;http://www.wakeupsmart.com/Asubha.html&lt;/a&gt; given as objects to asubha subject.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Uddhumataka, mayat menggembung
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa101.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa101.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear friends, remember, the shape of the body is not beautiful. When the person dies, it will change to something disgusting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Vinilaka, mayat dengan kulit yang membusuk
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa20.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa20.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa22.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa22.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear friends, the skin is not beautiful. When someone dies, the skin become disgusting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Vipubbaka

&lt;p&gt;Sorry, I don't put the image here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Vicchidaka, corpse cut into parts
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa40.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa40.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It shows that the whole complexion is not beautiful. If you cut someone into parts, then it will not be beautiful again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Vikkahayitaka, corpse eaten by animals
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa51.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa51.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It shows that parts of the body is not beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Vikkhitakka

&lt;p&gt;I don't put the image here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Hatavikkhitakka

&lt;p&gt;I don't put the image here, it's too scary I think. It is of no point if you get scaried rather than knowing the real meaning of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Lohitaka, bleeding corpse
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa80.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa80.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No jewelery can hide blood, do you think that jewelery still looks beautiful again when it is mixed with blood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Puluvaka, worm infected corpse
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa90.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa90.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The body is not ours, it belongs to the worms. If it is ours, how can we let these worms eat our body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Atthika, the skeleton
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/1600/asupa01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1616/515/320/asupa01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another image&lt;br/&gt;
