Akincano Marc Weber
Luang Poo Doon's reframing of the 4 Noble Truths: "The mind that goes out in order to satisfy its moods is the Cause of Suffering (samudaya). The result that comes from the mind going out in order to satisfy its moods is Suffering (dukkha). The mind seeing the mind clearly is the Path leading to Cessation of Suffering (magga). The result of the mind seeing the mind clearly is the Cessation of Suffering (nirodha). Luang Poo Doon หลวงปู่ ตูลย์ (trnsl. A. Pasanno)

2013-02-19 Dependent Origination: Co-Dependent Arising (2) 63:07
Rodney Smith
As we move through the links of Dependent Origination, one of the key areas for exploration are the linkages of craving, clinging, and becoming. What starts out as a simple feeling of pleasantness suddenly erupts into a needy and tumultuous sense-of-self. Dependent Origination explains the causal factors and conditions that led to full addiction and the reaction that followed. D.O. shows us how we carry over the remembrance of previous encounters that sets us up for our current display. Once the present is colored with the past, we carry the momentum of the past into that current relationship. An object is no longer seen for what it is (always neutral) but for what it has become through memory. We then chase after our memory like a cat would chase his tail, believing that the object is the same as the memory.
