2 heavenly meanings from the outer world to the inner world.
In Buddhism, the Buddha expressed the story of "heaven" in 2 meanings so that the Buddhist company can see both the results of future karma and the current state of mind as follows:
1) The outer heaven (the world) is the result of good karma.
This means that the heaven or heaven in the next world is the residence of the angels, which are concrete (the world).
âĒ The mechanism of occurrence occurs from "Kamawajorn merit" is practising, keeping the precepts and having a clear mind before death. Resulting in the "incidence" (birth) as a god in various heavens. From the Jatu Maharajika class to the Paranimmit Wasawatdi class
âĒ The important condition is the "5 erotic qualities" (image, sound, smell, taste, delicate touch) is a reward for good karma that has been done when it was a human being.
âĒ Dharma reality, even though it is exquisite happiness, but the outer heaven still falls under the trinity law, that is, there is a non-colour. When the merit is exhausted, it must be "reborn" (move/die) to be born in the world according to karma.
2) Inner heaven, the dharma of tranquillity.
This meaning means that Tittha Dhamma Sawan or the heaven that can be seen today (heaven in the chest) is a clean and bright mental state.
âĒ The mental state is the mind that is not hot with fire is lust, anger, and anger. There is a "Awip anti-sant" (non-boiling meat, hot heart) as the base.
âĒ The main virtue comes from a person who has "precepts" as a shield against evil and has "kindness" as a nourishing machine, making the mind clear, light, comfortable.
âĒ Manustevo Buddhism calls people with such virtues "human angels", that is, even though the body is still in the human world. But the state of mind is happy and peaceful as if in heaven. It is a state caused by "Passatthi" (peace of mind), which is an important factor in meditation and wisdom.
Summarise the true purpose
These two heavens are connected by "karma". The inner heaven is the cause (making the mind clear) and the outer heaven is the result (goes after death). However, the Buddha taught us not to be trapped in both types of heaven. But use the peace from the inner heaven as a base for developing wisdom to move towards "nirvana", which is a happiness that surpasses all heavens.
