THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS & FAMILY RELATION

THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS & FAMILY RELATION------In a family parents, children, husband and wife are all bound by a thread of pleasant sensation derived from mutual interactions such as conversation, physical touch, sharing, security,etc.We are so much addicted to this pleasant sensation that we cannot bear separation, even for a moment.If a family member,say husband or wife or son dies,then the pleasant sensation derived from their interactions when alive,will turn into unpleasant one that leads to misery.A Vipassi very well understands the First Noble Truth of Suffering which is expressed both externally and internally.The external expression includes shedding tears,weeping, breast-beating,etc, and internally,it is experienced as increased intensity (degree) in four great elements such as heaviness,heat,movement and liquid.Then the Second Noble Truth of Suffering also becomes very clear which is nothing but addiction (attachment) towards pleasant sensation that comes from mutual interactions among family members,when alive.The reason for attachment is misunderstanding (Moha=illusion) of the true nature of pleasant sensation which is short-lived (anicca), can't be controlled (anatta) and any attempt to control its duration will invariably leads to misery(dukkha=dissatisfaction). The Third Noble Truth is the way out of misery(nibbana=ability to dispell all wrong perceptions or misunderstanding). It is the complete understanding of the anicca,anatta and dukkha nature of the pleasant sensation derived from our mutual interactions that enables us to remain mere observer without giving importance to the pleasant sensation (virago=detachment towards pleasant sensation).As virago is established ,the aversion towards unpleasant sensation (dosa) also disappears.Thus, a Vipassi becomes free from illusion, attachment and aversion.The Fourth Noble Truth' is the set of training that enables us to investigate the truth(the actual phenomenon that really occurs in nature and it can be directly encountered in our body which is nothing but a neurobiological experiencing structure.This path or method or technique is called Vipassana.The path is also called Dhamma which consists of sila, samadhi and Panna. A Vipassi must experience these four fold Noble Truths,not only in family relation, but in each and every aspect of life.The whole teaching of the Buddha is encapsulated (packed) in the form of four fold Noble Truth.As we progress in the path the Noble Truths become clearer and clearer in each and every situation and experience.Remember, nobody can escape from the jaws of death.Our near and dear ones are bound to die.Now, our only medicine is realisation of these four truths throughout in our life in order to remain calm and balanced whenever we will surely encounter the bitter truth of death of ours and our near and dear ones.
