Conditions(Causes) to understand the only middle way
Tha bar Wa Natural Meditation Centre’s Sayadaw U Ottamasara has taught a lot of people the insight meditation or the only middle way__the noble eightfold path since 2002. Along his teaching, he has taught people in different situations and circumstances by using different words_Pannyati which is shaping and representing the middle way that enables to know the original truth_(real impermanent nature and real permanent nature).
According to different intellects of different people, some hardly understand the only middle way as Sayadaw wants them to know.
In fact, "understanding the middle way" is directly depending on "the abandonment power" of the mental emphasizing & attaching upon the mind & matter of our habitual current perception with loba_like, dosa_dislike, moha__thinking them as original reality. "The two cases are functionally interdependent".
The mental emphasizing & attaching upon the mind & matter of our habitual perception generate the defilements (loba, dosa, moha) such as craving, hatred, agitation, stress, sorrow, selfishness, grief, misery, and discrimination -etc.
Abandoning the mental emphasizing & grasping on the created truths (abandoning loba, dosa, moha) and doing good deeds in the right way are also interdependent.
That means by doing good deeds (Dana, Sili, Bhavana) in the right way, we become able to abandon & reduce the mental emphasizing & attaching upon the mind & matter of our current perception with loba_likes, dosa_dislikes, moha__thinking them as original reality.
Sayadaw explains that doing good deeds (doing-only Dana, Sila, Bhavana) can abandon and reduce loba_greed, dosa_hatred, moha__delusion.
By doing good deeds (doing-only Dana, Sila, Bhavana) in the right way, when we will be able to abandon & reduce loba_greed, dosa_aversion, moha__delusion, it helps us understand what the noble eightfold path is or what Sayadaw really means.
That means by doing good deeds as much as we can, we become able to understand that
1) doing-only Dana, Sila, Bhavana without any attachment is necessary,
2) doing-only Dana, Sila, Bhavana without any attachment is "the abandoning the defilements such as loba_greed, dosa_aversion, and moha__delusion (the mental centering & grasping the created truths as reality)".
3) being itself able to abandon the defilements such as loba_greed, dosa_aversion, and moha__delusion, is practicing "the insight meditation" or the only middle way that enables to know the original truth_(real impermanent nature and real permanent nature),
4) By doing good deeds, the abandonment power which enables us to understand the only middle way, will give rise to accordingly.
