Vesak Poya - APPLICATION OF YONISO MANASIKĀRA: IMPERMANENCE OF THE FIVE AGGREGATES

<p>Welcome to the <strong>Sutta Meditation Series Podcast</strong>.</p> <p>This is <strong>ONLY the APPLICATION OF YONISO MANASIKARA OF THE IMPERMANENCE OF THE FIVE AGGREGATES from the Vesak Poya Dhamma Session, conducted via zoom on 26 May 2021.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>**Please note - each contemplation is a gradual and sequential development of <em>yoniso manasikara, </em>therefore you may wish to do the meditations or contemplations in sequence.</p> <p>For the full 3.5hr session (including contemplations) you can listen to episode 103 WHY YONISO MANASIKARA IS ESSENTIAL TO THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH (Vesak Poya FULL Dhamma Session)</p> <p><strong>In this segment from the Vesak Poya Dhamma Session, we examine Buddha's teachings on:</strong></p> <ul> <li><em><strong>ayoniso manasikara</strong></em><strong> - how we misapprehend (unwisely contemplate) the five aggregates, cling to them, identify with them resulting in wrong view and continuation in samsara</strong></li> <li><em><strong>yoniso manasikara -</strong></em><strong> how to wisely contemplate and direct the mind towards </strong><em><strong>anicca </strong></em><strong>or impermanence of the five aggregates</strong></li> <li><strong>recognise the process as a "death trap", where everything in samsara is conditioned, therefore deathbound</strong></li> <li><strong>meditation instruction - use our own examples seeing five aggregates as a whole (but this can be done for each of the five aggregates) to see both </strong><em><strong>ayoniso manasikara</strong></em><strong> (</strong><em><strong>nicca </strong></em><strong>as permanent, lasting, stable, reliable, not subject to change, and not arising and passing away, thus valuable and substantial) vs </strong><em><strong>yoniso manasikara (anicca</strong></em><strong> as impermanent, unlasting, unstable, unreliable, subject to change, see the arising and passing away, therefore not valuable, no substance). In the meditation, you ask "which is the truth?"</strong></li> </ul> <p>The main suttas supporting this
