Rumi<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This very deep Rumi poem speaks metaphorically of the interrelated causes of the phenomena\u00a0\u00a0 ( the dependant origination called Nidanas in sanskrit ) that intrude upon each other in such a compact manner that we find it difficult to discern the parts that make up what we call our Ego.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be able to dissect each of these constituent parts, to observe how we grasp each of them, always without being aware of it , and how we deceive ourselves of the reality of these phenomena by identifying the part at all, is what we try to do when<\/span> we meditate.<\/p>\n

Let Dhiravamsa speak about the practice of Insight Meditation :<\/span><\/p>\n

VIPASSANA : THE UNIQUE WAY TO AWAKENING<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The Meaning and Scope of Vipassana :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

” The literal meaning of Vipassana is total, clear seeing, a profound and panoramic vision. <\/em>This refers to seeing with the eye of wholeness, <\/em>which means recognizing that nothing occurs in isolation or independently, that problems need to be seen within the context of whole systems. Seeing in this way, we are able to perceive the intrinsic web of interconnectedness underlying our experience and merge with it. For example, we acknowledge the ways in which we are extraordinary arid miraculous, and at the same time do not hose sight of the ways in which we are simultaneously nothing special, just part of a larger unfolding, as waves on the sea. We can call the rising up and falling back in such brief moment\u2019s \u201c life spans.\u201d Together with this way of seeing is total freedom <\/em>from what Albert Einstein called \u201coptical delusion of consciousness,\u201d or \u201cmoha\u201d according to the Buddha. Furthermore, seeing in the Vipassana way frees us from the incessant distortions characteristic of our everyday emotional and thought processes, distortions that, as we have seen, can continually undermine the experiencing of our intrinsic wholeness. ”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Insight Medition and Enneagram :<\/span><\/h3>\n

” With regard to the Buddha\u2019s teaching on \u201cHow suffering arises and where it ends\u201d or \u201cPaticcasamyppada – Dependent Origination,\u201d I find it very important for all of us to know and to put it into practice. The reason being that the most essential work on the enneagram lies in a complete and precise comprehension of all the ennea-types or characters, their interrelationships, their ruling passions, and how to put an end to their compulsive patterns of conditioning, or how to liberate ourselves from these passions and to break down the character structures of the ennea-types. To put it in the Buddha\u2019s terminology, the enneagram itself is suffering or sankkh\u00e2ra-dukkha in Pali, the ennea-types\u2019 ruling passions are the root causes of suffering which need to be utterly eliminated or transformed, and total freedom from the ennea-types is equal to Nirvana in life (the utter ending of suffering and the blowing out once and for alt of all the fires that burn our lives,) and the means whereby such a goal can be achieved, is Insight Meditation. <\/em>This basic meditation comprises the five indispensable factors of the Buddha\u2019s middle path: They are right understanding, right thinking, right mindfulness, right perseverance, and right samadhi (inner stability and peace of mind.) <\/em>By understanding and practicing the paticcasamuppada in daily life you will be able to speed up as well as to complete your work on the enneagram, which will bear great fruit <\/em>in your life. ”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would like to end this conclusion by referring to the Buddha\u2019s wise words in the Dhammapada, which are jewels for everyone :<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are aware and awake always rise.<\/em><\/p>\n

To no abode are they attached; (not dwelling on any States of mind)<\/em><\/p>\n

Like the swans that quit their ponds,<\/em><\/p>\n

Water after water they abandon (and go on.)\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Vigilant and fully aware among the inattentive,<\/em><\/p>\n

Totally awake among those failing asleep,<\/em><\/p>\n

The wise person proceeds rapidly<\/em><\/p>\n

As a fast horse leaving behind a weak nag.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing that self-love is first and foremost<\/em><\/p>\n

One should hold a high esteem for one\u2019s self. During any of the three phases of life<\/em><\/p>\n

The wise should keep lively vigil.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
