The 8 Worldly Conditions :: Luangpor Pramote Pamojjo 29 May 21

The 8 Worldly Conditions The worldly conditions isn’t a single fold. There’re always 2 sides or its match such as: gain and loss, fame and defame, praise and blame, and pleasure and pain. This is the Dhamma that revolves around the world. Since the world is like this, to want it otherwise only brings suffering. Only when we understand the truth of the world, the way it is, then craving won’t arise. Only when we see the truth and accept it, to understand the 8 worldly conditions, we can live with the world with less suffering. Differently however, if we want the cessation of suffering, want to attain Nibbana, then we need to understand the more profound Dhamma, which is the 5 aggregates. We’ll see the true nature of the materiality that it’s impermanent, suffering, and non-self, and so as the truth of the mentality that it’s impermanent, suffering, and non-self, our mind will eventually accept the truth. We’ll understand that all materiality and mentality are impermanent, suffering, and non-self. We won’t want them to be permanent. We won’t even want there to be only happiness, nor want to keep a tight hold on that happiness as we please. When craving doesn’t arise, neither does suffering.
