lack of wisdom) , these are what taint or cloud the mind incessantly, making
it impure and unable to see things as they are.

conjunction with Buddhist teaching in order to gain wisdom, see things as they
are and thus liberate from suffering.

Dukkha. Stress, suffering, misery, unsatisfactoriness, pain:literally, “ hard to
endure, difficult to bear”

Fabrication - Sankhara or mental formations. In this book, fabrication
is usually referred to unnoticed defilements coming in and creating our delude
sense of who we are and our make- believe situation . In some cases , the
meaning of fabrication is merely illusions created by thought.

Khandhas or Aggregates- These are the five groupings that comprise body
and mind: form, feeling , memory, mental formations and consciousness. Regular,
non- enlightened human beings are deluded in believing that they are these
khandhas and have not realized the truth that there is no self.

Mindfulness : Awareness of physical or mental phenomena. More
specifically , awareness of what the body is doing in real time, or recognizing what
mental phenomena or behaviours have just arisen. Genuine mindfulness arise
automatically as a result of practitioner’s ability to be aware of the body and to
recognize mental phenomena when they arise.

Nibbana; Nirvana, Enlightenment, the end of suffering, the eradication of
the defilements.

146

Phenomena - Mental and physical phenomena . Physical phenomena
include bodily movements, breathing , bodily positions ( standing, sitting, lying
down) and the like. Mental phenomena are primary mental states, such as that
of thinking, restlessness, or curiosity, emotions, and feelings, but are primary
called phenomena in this book as in their true nature, such states last only
momentarily.

Wisdom; True wisdom in Buddhism is not intellectual knowledge , but
comes from seeing the truth of how things really are through direct experience.
Here it implies seeing at least one of the Three characteristics of body and
mind: things are impermanent ( always changing ) , unsatisfactory ( they don't
persist), and they are non-self ( not under control).

When you laugh , the world’ll laugh with you.
But when you cry , you ’ll cry alone.
