Dhamma padaya- Marga Waggaya
The meditation object that the Gauthama Buddha has given to five hundred monks who had been contemplating the characteristics of ‘Anichcha- Dukkha- Anaththa’ of the ‘sangka~ra’ (the true nature of preconceived thoughts) for about twenty thousand years in the days of Ka~shyapa Buddha.
When a person begins to contemplate wisely and consciously, he recognises that everything in this world that he has grasped thinking ‘I-mine-my soul’, as well as his previous thoughts of willingness and reluctance, does not remain the same as he wished.
As soon as he realises that he had to suffer because of the inconstant nature of his attachments, he becomes frustrated with all those attachments.
That kind of frustration is what leads him to ‘Nirwana’.
When a person starts to contemplate wisely and consciously, at some point he realises that the clingings and conflicts created by him, grasping as ‘I-Mine-My soul’, have brought him only suffering.
Simultaneously, he realises that the nature of impermanence and capriciousness of his loved ones and his possessions and his erratic willingness and reluctance also caused him only suffering.
“Although I don’t like sorrow, all my possessions and loved ones that I have grasped as ‘I-mine-my soul’ only brings me misery. So how can I say that they are ‘I-Mine-My soul’?”, contemplating wisely in this way, he becomes frustrated with all that he is attached to, grasped as ‘I – Mine – My soul’.
That kind of frustration is what leads him to ‘Nirwana’.
When a person starts to contemplate wisely and consciously, at some point, he realises that his ideas and thoughts, his willingness-reluctance, and everything in this world are subject to emerge, exist and disappear.
He realises that he had to suffer so far because of the clingings that were formed without knowing about the erratic nature of worldly things, as well as the erratic nature of his willingness -reluctances.
Then he is frustrated with the ‘Craving- Obstinacy- Arrogance’ created by the deceptive thought of ‘I- Mine- My soul’ about his own body and mind.
That kind of frustration is what leads him to ‘Nirwana’.
