Dhamma Group 2
Two virtues of great Assistance (Bahukara Dhamma)
1.
Mindfulness (Sati)
2.
Clear comprehension (Sampajanna)
Sati is to think of, over before doing
or speaking.
Sampajanna is awareness, to know
throughout what you are doing or speaking.
These two kind of Dhamma will help to
keep mind out of all unwholesome action but in all wholesome as if the great
government official of good knowledge and capacity can complete all royal
activities nicely. So these two kinds of Dhamma are called Virtues of great
assistance.
Two Virtues that Protect the world (Lokapala Dhamma)
1. Moral shame (Hiri)
2. Moral dread (Ottappa)
Hiri, moral shame, means the feeling
of mind with out of evil conduct such as evil conduct in act. It is if the
person who minds dirty thinks that face, will not like to touch it.
Ottappa, moral dread, means the fright
of evil conduct such as conduct in act. It is as if a man being afraid of heat
of fire does not dare to touch it.
The good people will pay
respect to themselves by thinking about their status such as birth and family
with Hiri and pay respect to other people such as think about devata (a
heavenly being), protecting themselves with Ottappa, abstain from doing evil
and keep themselves in purity. Therefore these two virtues are called “The
virtues that protect the world”. They are also called “Devadhamma (virtues for
heavenly being) because they make the mind of human being higher as if the mind
of heavenly beings
Two Gracing Virtues
(Sobhanakarana Dhamma)
1. Khanti (tolerance)
2. Soracca (modesty)
Khanti, tolerance, means it can be
patient, not defeated by being cold, hot, hungry, suffering from illness,
injuries, the words of abusing, sarcasm, looking clown and be harmed.
Soracca, modesty, means being usual as
being, out of seeing, hearing, cold, heat etc.
On the other hand, being not so
arrogant that it hurts other people’s feeling when you get better, should be
Soracca as well.
A person of Khanti and Soracca will
control his mind constantly, in usual state not vigorous or sad when he is
suffering, not be inflamed with pride or forget himself when he gets happiness.
Therefore Khanti and Soracca are called “Gracing Virtues”
Two Pare Persons
1. Pubbakari : One who is first
to do a favour
2. Katannukatavedi : One who is grateful and
repays the done favour
Pubbakari, the previous factor,
means the person who helps somebody else without thinking about 2 causes;
1.
Those persons have ever helped him before
2.
Those persons will help him after. For example, parents take care of their
children and teachers teach their students.
Katannukatabedi, the grateful
person, means the person who has received a favour from somebody else and then remember it, does not destroy it in any ways,
always think out it and replays what is worthy of the favour received.
Pubbakari is said “Rare” because the
general people are controlled by Ignorance (Avijja)
Katannukatavedi is said “Rare” because
most people are controlled by Ignorance (Avijja), the deftlement, destroying
knowledge, such as greed, anger, delusion and stinginess. It covers good
knowledge.
