Mind Training Principles

Dukkha always occurs through three causes:

  1. doing abundant evil in the past,

  2. not doing any good right now, which is common,

  3. not lifting the mind above worldly things.

There's no dukkha when three causes occur:

  1. much supporting good done in the past,

  2. right now, always doing only what is good,

  3. keeping the mind upright, undeluded, & sober.

If you know how to train the mind even higher,
not messing around with pleasure & pain,
letting go of everything, freed of all moods,
done with sweet and bitter, calm and cool in Nibbana.
