The lesson I am going to teach now is about mind. It isabout the mind. Keep in mind that all ~~e beings in this wholeworld are led mainly by the mind. Therefore, <illthe beings whohave the mind should also know about the mind. Then if theycan control the mind, they will have peace of mind. Thereforesuccessive philosophers have tried to discover what the mindis. The scientists of this modern age also have made the sameeffort. They also wanted to know how the mind arises. Here if

.the mind actually exists, one must be able to answer the four

With regard to the mind of human being it is termed ascitta in Pali language. In Myanmar language the supersuiptedtevowlifer are( -) is inserted simply and the ~ett~r "t" is deleted.It is known as "ceit". It is termed as mind in English. Thereforeif you are asked as to "what" is meant by the principle) of mind,you should be able to answer it. Once again it should also beasked as to "when" it arises. When you study about this, the fourquestions of Greek philosopher. Socrtes should be used here, Ifa prireciple is preasented and if it is insisted that it actually ex-ists, this whilosopher said that the answer should be broughtabout through the four questions of what? when? where? andwhy? It should be asked as to what it is called, when it arises,where it arises and why it arises. These four questions are al-ways'used. These four questions are the best of one's liking. It isthe same here. If somecome asks what the mind is, it is(meatnt

!

by the principle) it is important that you should be able to an-swer it vividly. Again, if it exists, it must be examined as to whenit arices. Here the question of the term whem must be used. Itmeans a question. Again, if it is known that the mind really ex-ists, There must be a place where it arises. There must be a placewhere the mind arices. Again there must also be a cause. Whydoes it arices? How the mind comes into existance must also beknown. If we achieve the answer through these four questions, itmust be kept in mind that we have learnt the art of controllingthe mind. These four questions have been answered by theGotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago. The Lord Buddhaappeared then. By the word lard Buddha, you should not find it

ception. If one was such a noble person, the mind which de-pended on that human being was indeed supreme. It was alsopeaceful. It must be his physical strength. The tresence of theforce of karnme (pest deeds) must be regarded- as the most extraordinary attribute. Only when wuch a person developed his con-centration to the highest level, the element (hatujof extraordi-nary light appeared in him. Then a power of knowledge on allevents arose in him, The light of wisdon which appeared in himwas incornperable, Because he attained perfect enlightenementthen and there, he was proclaimarned I a Buddha. Do you un-derstand it? "Bhddha" means "enlightenment" "Buddha" is en-lightenment Repeat it "Buddha" is "enlightenment". If some oneasks what kind of enlighter ment it is it is the (the appearance ofextra, ordinary) light of wisdom in mind, incornperally, He was ahuman being. However, he was an extra ordinary human being.Moreever, when he 'Developet his conceitration to the highestlevel he gained power of knowledge on all events as a result ofthe incomparable of the in comperature extra or dirary light ofwisdom. Therefore he proclained himself Buddha who has at-tained enlightement as he knew himself perfectly. That notleBhddha had taught beeings about. the mind. That just now men-tioned sage who proclained himself as Bhddha had kindly pro-vided all the answers to all questions of what, when, where andwhy of the mind. Let' us look at this.

This is a diagran of comparison hetween the ideology ofscientists of this modern age and the teachings of Gotama Bud-dha who was the owner of in,~?mperable, extraordinary light ofwisdom. The seicutists of the lriodem age are of the of opinionthat the mind originates in the brain. It originates in the vrain.It is the location of orisigin. They pointed it 'Outas the location.They Demonstrate their ideology to the world through theirappropiatc and electric waves. Their fundamental belidf is thatthe mind orginates in the burain. But the Buddha pointed outthat the mind originated in the chamber of heart over 2550 yearsago. The scienticts of later ages assumed that the mind origi-nated in the brain. Think over it. The Buddha taught that theheart is the origin of the mind. These two theories were ex-pounded many years ago. No comparicon between them is pos-sible because they are so different. One theory does not fit the

other one It was impossible to do so. Foreign scholars came toMyanmar and put up questions to Sayadaws. Then Sayadaws fromMyanmar explained tham through Pali conon and the texts. Butthey still remained uncominced of the Buddha's teachings andthey returned home. They were not satisfied with the explana-tion. We could make a guess. It was many years ago. As I aminterested in this issue. I have studied it. When the seience ofanatomy becomes prominent in modern age. 1 made a study ofit. Then I gained some strength to support the validity of theBuddha's teachings. I have tried to produce the diagram. Then Ifound that there are four compartments in the chanber of theheart about which the Buddha had said. It is true for almost

Thanks to the medical scholars in medicine and modernscientists this diagram was brought about. Look at it carefully,There are two upper compart'mepts and two lower compartments.It is found that both the upper pair and the lower pair squeezesimultaneously. Look at the' partition into ~ompartments here.There are two compartments on the lower side. There are alsotwo compartments. Look at the diagram of the tiny valve here.Whenthe lower compartments squeeze, it is found that this isblocked. This is the place where this lateral side is opened. Whenit is wqueezed, this is blocked. This is opened. The lower pair issquwezed. The upper pair is also squeezed. As there are nervesall around it, it works while he is breathing although he is asleep.You should have known it. Look at this. When the lower pair issqueezed, the blood does not rise up but it is blocked. It is foundthat it squeezes out through the side. This is one vessel that goesto the valve. You should also known that there transpgarts is theehamber of the heart that transforts the blood to the whole body.It's good. well, if this is so, you have known that the lower pairas well as the upper pair are squeezed. Isn't it that the bloodcirculctes because of the closing and apening of the valves. Itdoes. It's good. Therefore suppose that the blood that returnsfirst from the brain and the old blood which returns from thewhole body enter the Not l ) compartment. Look at it. So when itis asked as to what the blood that enters the No (1) compart-ment brings along with it is should he leept in mind that it bringsthe element of heat. What kind of element does is bring? it isthe element of heat. This is the reason why the element of heat

they are destroyed? They do HOt. If it is so. When it is asked as towhat remains then, the element of heat is produced. So it is saidas energy in English lauguege. For example you bend and

. straighten out your hand about forty or fifty times and experi-ence it. Will it become cold of hot? That's right. You should notbe hapPTfbr getting hot. The trny Kalapas or the tiny cells orthose which are called rupas discppeared without leaving be-hind even bits of them. The element of heat comes out of them.Then it is replaced by new nutrient essence contained in theblood. Keep it in mind. It must ~e noted that this element of heatis transported by the vein. The blood that carries all the elementof heat from the brain as well as from every part of the wholebody enters the No.(l) compartment. The scientists termed themas oxygen and carbondioxide. Whatever they say, it is carryingthe element of heat. Only ofter that it goes down to the No. (2)compartment when the lower compartment is squeezed, it doesnot get out of it. It doeds not rise up through the side. The vesseljust now mentioned opened up and it is learnt that it goes to thelungs. It is one track. The lungs are indeed aballoon. All knewabout it. In this bonned balloon the cepillaries are formed intotiny compartments on the walls like a network. It is known thatthere are even over twenty millions of them when they are countedby scienticts. How many are there? Over twenty millions. Theblood passed through these over twenty million compartments

and then they Join together and go to the No(3) comportmentTherefore, they left the element of heat while they pass throughand then they enter the No(3) compartment Note that the in-coming cool air enters the It{~gS'.This is the cool air that enters.The element of heat has thenature of conduit. Is it right? Forexample let us take a plain tea cup. Isn't it that people in clinatake plain tea. People in Myanmar also take plain tea. Isn't itthat plain tea cup is cold before hot water is filled into it? It islike thcexanple of a tumbler. Suppose it is going to he filledwith hot water. It is cold before it is filled up with hot water.Pour out the hot water after the cup is filled up with it. Isn't itthat the heat is left behind. That's right I think you understandit. It is like that example. It is because the heat has the nature ofconduit. Therefore the heat contained in the blood permeats thecold air. So isn't it that the air that comes out of the nose iswarmer? 'It is. You got it? Isn't it that the breathing rate becomeshigher when one becomes tired because of too much actionsand his whole body becomes hot. That's right. When it is ob-served, the Duty of the lungs is the exchange of the heat and thecold. The heat is left behind in the cold air. Once again it seeksthe heat. It leaves ti behind. I think you understand its nature.That's all right. Therefore the blood that has become cold andpurified (oxygenated) proceeds to the No(3) compartment. Thenit goes down to the No( 4) compartment. When it is squeezed inthe No(4) compartment the blood is transported to the wholebody. You got it? There it spreads to the whole body. This com-partment is the topmost part of the heart The just now men-tioned Gotema Buddha had pointed out that the mind originates

accarding to medicle science, iris found to be this compartment.It is also very realistic, Again how the mind originates in thiscompartment was also preached by late Mchasi Sayadaw whowas very famous then. He was praised by senior Sayadaws andTheras .as the most learned Sayadaw in teaching practical workside byside with theory. It was during the time when the actual6th Great Council was held. Sayadaw could teach the practicalwork side by side with theory. Senier Theras also spoke inhomour of him that it was not even easy to find one who wasequally learned, not to say.of one who was more learned thanMahasi Sayadaw, in such matters. Sayadaw made an explanationhere. When others requested him to explain them on the groundthat they could not understand well what was written in the textsof the Buddhist literature. Then he pointed his fore finger at theelectric bulbs. They are 'electric bulbs. Sayadaw asked how manytimes of off and on of electricity there were in a second.Accoarding to the measurement of the scholasrs there are fiftytimes of them. How many times are there? Then Sayadaw said (0

them-to note so. Sayadaw said to them that the mind arises anddissolves in a person at a tremendone rate of more (linn It

thousond billion (1012 )times per eye-wink. This is in accordnnccwith the original teaching of the Buddha. There upon I ht'Clllttf'

convinced of the Buddha's teachings and was able to producethis diagran. Think over it. As to the arising of the mind the cir-culating blood contains ahara(n.~tritive essence). What does thecirculating blood contain? It is the element of nutritiveessencet ahara). Then it contains the force of past deeds(kamma). It also contains the character ristic of utu (heat ele-

, ment). Only then the mind gets the chance to arise. As a resultof interactions among kamrna, citta, utu and ahara, the mind getsthe chance to arise suddenly. To give another example don't yousee the rotation of a dyrano? It is the Dyanmo that produceselectricity. When it remains static like this, it does not produceelectricity. Only when it rotates, it produces electricity. You willunderstand it. It is the same like this. It is in accordance withthis example. So as long as the blood circulates the flickering

mind keeps on arising. It is getting the-chance to arise. Do youunderstand it. You got it. There fore, it's nature is very muchlike the electricity. With regard to the number of times the say-ing that it arises and dissolves at a rate of more than a thousandbittion (1012 ) times per eye-wink is effective. It means that it isbetween a thousand bittion times and two thousand bittion times.It is between more than one thousand billion times and twotharsaurd billion times. It one becomes very hot because of toomuch thoughts, the nunber of times comes close to two thou-sand billion times. Do you understand it? If the thoughts be-come few and he becomes cool, the number of times again comes

close to one hundred thousand billion times. You should un-derstand this nature. I think you will understand it. To knowwhether it is right or wrong, look at the light bulbs. Sometimesin rural areas when the velocity'orth'e dynamo is too great, thelight bulb become very bright and it is broken. It is burnt up. I

, . .

think you understand it. When the velocity becomes too great,it becomes, so hot and it is broken. It is like this. If the thoughtsbecome too much and too serious, isn't it that the chest becomes

" v-~.

hot and stilf? It becomes stiff. Do you understand a little? Thenature of them is the same. You got it? That's right. If thethoughts become few, isn't it that the heart becomes less stiffand becomes cool? That's right. So it becomes realistic. There-fore it becomes certain that the mind originates here. Keep inmind that it originates here. that's right. Ah, the strange thing isthat when one is asleep, it is called contimuun (Phavanga citta).It is also called the mind which arises when one is asleep. It issaid that it is not aware of the sense objects. No thought imagearises. It is said that no image of the thought arises. It is saidthat it is not awarre of any present object. It is again said thatonly when one wakes up, the image of thought arises after thearammana (sense object) and the dvara (sense door) are con-nected. Some scholors made complaints on the ground of thissaying. They give orguements. They question as to where themind will he placed when this heart is being transplanted. Theyput up the question as to where the mind will be placed if the

heart is transplant Mahasi Sayadaw gave an explanation in thisregard. Sayadaw explained the hadaya, ha, da, ya (heart base)did not mean the heart. It means the act of generating other

I

things. There is the rupa (matter) that gemerates the mind. Thereis the matter that generates the mind. It is said that there is riipa

, (matter) in the blood which generates the mind. With regard tothis saying I have seen a television documentary on a heart trans-plant operation. In that documentary the arteries which comeinto here are transferred to an appuratues which has the samebreathing rate. That apparatus generates the heart to throb. Theblood is transferred into a sinilar apparatus. When it is trans-ferred the heart becomes free. Then the heart is left aside. Wellisn't it that the blood is circulcting. At that time the sleeping(dormant) mind is arisi,ng. It is as if he is asleep. Do you under-stand it? It is about the matter in the blood which generates atesthe mind. So it is as if he is asleep. I think you will understand it.Then when the heart is transplanted, the arteries are reconnected.When connected, isn't it that it becomes normal. He does notwake up immediately. When he regains strength he regainsconsciousuress because normal connections have been made .If it is. so, you could have accepted it. You got it? That's good. Ifit is so, it is a firm evidence that the mind originates here'. That'sgood. If it is so, you should ask me as to how you should under-stand the corre1ction between the metter and the mind containedin this blood. If it is asked, it must be said that it is also related

pastexistences some may be afflicted with blood cancer, Theremay be coronary throrntosis. There may be the lack of one com-partment. I think you understand it? There may be diseases sincebirth, So can there he peace of mind. There cannot he. This isone thing. It is related to kamrna. Sometimes the arteries maybreak because of past karnma. I think you understand it. Againbecause-of dosa, which is akusale kamma, the heart may be-come enlorged. His mental behaviour may become atmormeal.It is due to the force of kamma. The next is ututheat-element.)There is an ancient saying. "Ne Myint Le, Ayu Yint Le" (thehigher the sun rises, t~re .insane one becomes. In the morn-ing as the weather i~oot lnd the sun does not shine brightlyyet, one has peace of mi'IiCf~The blood is stilto~ He is not yetinsane.

If one be-comes tired and hungry and the sun is hot, one gets angry, eas-ily, So it is elso related to utu. The next thing is ahara. If onetakes food that congec1s the blood or persons the food the mind(consciousness) does not arise in him. If he one takes alcoholicdrinks, alcohol seeps into his blood. Then his mind becomes indisorder. His thoughts are nolonger right. So it is also relcted to

ahara. So there is correlation between the force of kamma, utu,ahara and the mind. The mind takes sense objects and generatesactions which in turn leave the force of these actions(kcmmas)in the blood. Do you understand it That is the thing which allthe people of the whole workrdo not know. The mind takes whatit likes as object. It thinks of 'what it likes. Every thought is like

. something which is put on a tape. The force of past kemma isleft there. So the mind also causes a change in the force ofkernma: .TYougot it. Ahare also changes the mind. Aren't theycorrelated to one another? (Istu) also changes the mind. Nextkarnma also changes it. Afiiiarnafifia means depen ding on oneanother mutually Note that it is changing. Now you got it. That'sgood. So let us proceed to hi~ it takes the things as object. Letus take proced forward as to how it becames aware of objects.Let's see; As you all know here is the nenvous system. So theblood from the heart flows in and flows out of the brain. Thereare arteries through which the blood flows in and flows out ofthe brain. There is also the main artery which branches out fromthe brain. So the mind which depends on the blood of the heartis very much alike electricity. Do you understand it? Moreover,it is known that the mind is connected with the whole bodythrough mervous system. So you should understand it. The ma-ture of mind is very much alike electricity. The blood does notflow through these nerves. The blood does not flow. I hope youunderstand it. There are some fatty subslance there. It is verymuch ealike wire. It is connected with the whole body. I thinkyou understand it. The Gotama Buddha h~d pointed out all the

This diagram is where the mind depends on first It islike the place where electricity is produced. There are arteriesthrough which the blood flows in and flows out of the heart.These are me gyaw (carotid arteries) in Myanmar language.When it is blocked, one knows ,nothing. It is called carolid ar-teries. So a neurologist in Myanmar once asked me. "VenerableSir" We can demontrate to the whole world through experimentusing apparatus how the mind originates here. How are you go-ing to demonstrate your theory to the world? Then when I de-mon strated my diagram. he accepted it. He said that it was allright according to anatomy. That's good. I can say so because Ihave many hooks on medicine which belong to my father who isa doctor. That's good. So are these called carotid arteries? I amgoing to block them. If the mind does not originate in the heartbut it still has the chance to originate in the brain, the letter isthe place where the mind originates first. If the mind does not,originate in the heart, but if still originates in the brain althoughit is blocked here there will he connection between the mindand the brain, which is said to be the place, the condition andthe origin of the mind. Itsn't it correct? I will repeat it. If themind arises here, think over it. I will block this blood vessel. Iwill block it. There are all the connections here. Do you under-stand it? If the mind originates in the brain, if it is not related tothe heart, if it is not the origin of the mind, r will block the bloodvesseL Think over it and answer. I will block it. If these are stillconnected with the eyes, ears, nose, tougue and body, there willstill he consciouness. Right? But is there consciousness whenthese are blocked? So, one must accept the fact that the mind

originates in the blood of the heart. Do you understand it? Yougot it? So if it is asked whether it is not related to the brain nerves,note that they are related to one another mutually in the way ofaramanna. You got it? Do you understand it. That's good. Thenerves they are like the branches stemming from the brain. Doyou underetand it? In 1963 scientists deteched the skull of adog. Then they atteahed a transparent, initation skull so that theycould obser.ve the brain through it. Then they made the dog gainconsciousness. Then they made on experiment. They made asound. As Soon as it is heard, the blood gathered at a certainplace of the brain which was of bright red colour. Again when avisible object was shown, the blood gathered the same way, Whenthe smell was given, the blood gathered but at a different place .Then when the taste was given, the blood gathered at a certain

. place as before. When the body was touched, the blood gath-ered as before. So they thought that the mind works in the brain.

I

You have seen what they had found. So they are of opinion thatthe mind originates in the brain. Do you understand it? In real-ity it must" be noted that these five places are five seperatebranches. You got it? Note' that they are truly connected withthis. You got it? The Buddha had given cobweb an on example.It was likened to a colowel strings are connected in a cobweband the spider remains in the centre? That's good. Isn't it thatthe colweb is shaken when small anrnials are entangled in it.Then the spider goes there. Where does it eat the prey when it iscarried into it? It eats it at the centre of it. The Buddha had giventhis example. It is the example given by the Bhddha who is justnow mentioned. It is reallv true. Look here. When the visual

object strikes at the eyes, it is like electricity being switched on.The swith is on. When it strikes at this, it is burnt making a sud-den sparkle. Then it is said that it happens without a lapse oftime. How will we call it? It is connected here without a lapse oftime. When it connected an inage appears. It is said to be veryfast. This nerve and the brain 'are medium. The nerve and thebrain are mecium. It is said that when it connected, the imageappears. Again the same is true for ears. When the sound strikesat it is connected here. After the sound is recorded. it is formed., .here without a lapse of time. Then it is said that the image ap-pears. This is the method taught by the Gotama Buddha morethan2550 years ago. This was his principle. Again when the smellalso strikes at the nose, it is formed. A sudden flare rises up andthe image appears. It is the same for the tongue. The same isalso true for the body. That is practical experience, Let us takethe example of ears. All those who are listening will be taughtby the example of ears. Look at them. I will tell you now. You alllisten through your ears. I will say "sin'{elephant). Don't youhear "sin" elephant. This sound wave strikes at this. It is known.It is the sound of "sin". It is the "sinin sound. Then isn't it thatthe image appears dimly. It appears even before the sound comesto an end. Do you understand it? It is very fast. So it is reallytrue practically. It actually exists: Do you understand it? Themerves and the brain are medium. They are also related to oneanother mutually. (You must note) that it actually exists. Canyou guess it? I think you got it. If this is so, I will teach you howit arises in two stages.

As soon as the light wave and visual object wave strike atthe tip of the merves in the eyes, consciousness arises, It arisesin the mind like a flash, When the sound object also strikes atthe ears like a flash, it appears in, the mind like a flash, Whenthe smell strikes at the nose also, it appears in the mind like aflash. Next when the taste strikes at the sensitive part of thetangue it also appears in the mind like a flash. It is very fast.Next as soon as whichever place is touched in the body it arisesin the mind like a flash. Next when the taste strikes at the sensi-tive part of the tongue it also appears in the mind like a flash. Itis very fast. Next as soon as whichever place is touched in thebody it arises in the mind like a flash. These things happen intwo stages without a lapse of time. The image appears when itarises in the mind. It becomes known. If this is so, you should be

\ able to know about the mind. You got it? I will conclude mylecture with the just mentioned four questions. Well, all of youshould know .that this is what all the beings of the world, whohave mind in the themselves, should know by studying it. Whatdoes the principle of mind mean? When does it arise? Next,where does it arise? Why does it arise? All trese four questionshave been put up. Begin your answer from this point. This is thereason for elerninating the time and place of the mind. This isthe reason, When the blood of the heart is in circulction, theforce of kamrna, utu and ahara associated with one another inthe blood. Then mind gets the chance to arise in the chanber ofthe heart. You have known about this. Then the place is theconpartrnent from where the blood of the heart is transparted tothe whole body. Do you understand it? It is known that it arisesdepending on the blood of the heart. You have known one thing.The time also takes its own caurse as you know it. It's nature is

the arising of it in flashes when the courses are sufficient. Doyou understand it? Then it should be asked as to what it is, It isvery much alike electricity, Do you understand it? Ah now onegets the chance to know about it's principle clearly. Isn't it thatone becomes aware of sense objects in flashes when thearammana (sense objects)strike at the dvaraisense doors). Onlywhen one becomes aware of them, it can be said that the mindbecomes aware of the sense objects. The answers have croppedup. Isn't it that the four questions have been answered. I willrepeat it. When (he sense objects strike at the sense doors, themind which isIike the electricity is formed. Isn't it thatconscionsness arises simultaneaously? It arises. It has to un-dergo two stages till the mind becomes aware of the sense ob-jects . I think you got it. Then as to the time when consciousness

, arises, it arises when the sense objects strike at the sense doors.'Fhe other words it arises when the blood is in circulation andwhen the conditions are sufficient in the chamber of the heart.The mind gets the chance to arise based on kamma, utu and ahara.They depend on one anothermutually. Keep in mind that it'snature is very much alike electricity. Then the "place is the top-most part of the then ber of the heart from where the bloodfrom the heart it transported to the whole body. You got it? Thenthe canse also is sufficient only when the just mentioned kamma,utu, ahara and citta are associated with one another mutually. Itgets the chance to arise when kamma utu and ahara are in circu-lation, It still exists when one is asleep, Then continuum(bhavangacitta) arises, It is not aware of present events. I thinkyou got it. Therefore, as we all are beings who have the mindand elredy gained the chance to know about the mind, we shouldbe good of it. I think you got it. \Vell, let's take a rest.
