Facing Aging, Illness, & Death : The Central Teaching of the Buddha
By Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu
Members of Le Refuge, a Buddhist group located near Marseilles, invited me to lead a nine-day retreat on the topic of how not to suffer from aging, illness, and death. The talks I gave at the retreat were based on my book on this topic, Undaunted, but because they incorporated new material, and because the questions asked by the retreatants dealt with topics not covered in that book, I thought it would be useful to publish the trannoscripts of the retreat as an adjunct to what was already covered in the book.
The talks of the retreat were presented in two series: a series of evening talks on the five faculties, and a series of morning talks on practical issues arising in meditation, treating them in light of the theme of the retreat. Every afternoon, there was a period for questions and answers concerning issues arising from the talks and from the retreatants’ experiences in meditation.
The present book is based on both series of talks along with some of the questions and answers taken from the Q&A periods, presented chronologically.

6. Jãranti ve ràjarathà sucittà
atho sarãram pi jaram upeti.
Satam ca dhammo na jaram upeti
santo have sabbhi pavedayanti. 151.
RIGHTEOUSNESS DOES NOT WEAR AWAY
6. Even ornamented royal chariots wear out. So too the body reaches old age. But the Dhamma 3 of the Good grows not old. Thus do the Good reveal it among the Good. 4 151.
Story
Queen Mallikà was a pious woman. After her death when the Buddha visited the palace the King wished to know her place of rebirth. The Buddha revealed where she was reborn, and inspecting the royal chariots, He uttered this verse.

Teaching and Training
By Ven. U Moneyya
As a Westerner, I had become aware of this need during my first visit to Pa-Auk Forest Monastery some four years earlier.
I began to revise the letter heavily, detailing the Four Noble Truths in the Introduction and using the threefold training as an outline. I supplemented the text with more than a hundred footnotes, included several appendices dealing specifically with conditions at this monastery and finally added a sixteenpage index."

Two Styles of Insight Meditation
By Bhikkhu Bodhi
Today the practice of insight meditation has gained global popularity, yet in achieving this success it has undergone a subtle metamorphosis. Rather than being taught as an integral part of the Buddhist path, it is now often presented as a secular discipline whose fruits pertain more to life within the world than to supramundane release. Many meditators testify to the tangible benefits they have gained from the practice of insight meditation, benefits that range from enhanced job performance and better relationships to deeper calm, more compassion, and greater awareness. However, while such benefits may certainly be worthwhile in their own right, taken by themselves they are not the final goal that the Buddha himself holds up as the end point of his training. That goal, in the terminology of the texts, is the attainment of Nibbåna, the destruction of all defilements here and now and deliverance from the beginningless round of rebirths.

8. Anekajàti samsàram

Gahakàrakam gavesanto:
dukkhà jàti punappunam. 153.
9. Gahakàraka diññho' si
puna geham na kàhasi:
Sabbà te phàsukà bhaggà
gahakuñam visaïkhitam
Visaïkhàragatam cittam
tauhànam khayam ajjhagà. 154.
CRAVING IS THE BUILDER OF THIS HOUSE
8. Through many a birth I wandered in samsàra, 5 seeking, but not finding, the builder of the house. Sorrowful is it to be born again and again. 153.
9. O house-builder! Thou art seen. Thou shalt build no house again. All thy rafters are broken. Thy ridge-pole is shattered. My mind has attained the unconditioned. Achieved is the end of craving. 154.
Story
Immediately after Enlightenment the Buddha uttered this paean of joy.

I say that knowledge & freedom are fueled by something, they’re not unfueled. And what is the fuel for knowledge & freedom? ‘The 7 awakening factors.’ I say that the 7 awakening factors are fueled by something, they’re not unfueled. And what is the fuel for the 7 awakening factors? ‘The four kinds of mindfulness meditation.’ And what is the fuel for the four kinds of mindfulness meditation? ‘The three kinds of good conduct.’ And what is the fuel for the three kinds of good conduct? ‘Sense restraint.’ And what is the fuel for sense restraint? ‘Mindfulness & situational awareness.’ And what is the fuel for mindfulness & situational awareness? ‘Rational application of mind.’ And what is the fuel for rational application of mind? ‘Faith.’ And what is the fuel for faith? ‘Listening to the true teaching.’ And what is the fuel for listening to the true teaching? ‘Associating with true persons.’

Bhikkhus, there are these five defilements of gold, defiled by which gold is not malleable, wieldy, and luminous, but brittle and not properly fit for work. What five? Iron, copper, tin, lead, and silver. But when gold is freed from these five defilements, it is malleable, wieldy, and luminous, pliant and properly fit for work. Then whatever kind of ornament one wishes to make from it—whether a bracelet, earrings, a necklace, or a golden garland—one can achieve one’s purpose.
“So too, bhikkhus, there are these five defilements of the mind, defiled by which the mind is not malleable, wieldy, and luminous, but brittle and not properly concentrated for the destruction of the taints. What five? Sensual desire, ill will, dullness and drowsiness, restlessness and remorse, and doubt. But when the mind is freed from these five defilements, it becomes malleable, wieldy, and luminous, pliant and properly concentrated for the destruction of the taints.
Partially excerpted from AN 5.23 Upakkilesasutta : Defilements

10. They who have not led the Holy Life, who in youth have not acquired wealth, pine away like old herons at a pond without fish. 155.
11. They who have not led the Holy Life; who in youth have not acquired wealth, lie like worn-out bows, sighing after the past. 156.
