Rains Intention: to cure Crushing Chronic Distress

Rains Meditation: coming to view the world as-it-is

• The state of viewing what-is, as-it-is, is called Samadhi

Rains Awareness: appreciating the world as-it-is

• Literally allowing your sense organs to contact the world without fantasy
  • (eyes, ears, mouth, nose, skin)
• Process of extending Samadhi to contact with the world
• Causes pleasure, and operationalizes intelligence

Rains Action: to allow sensing what-is to cause action without interference

• Process of letting Rains Awareness extend through our action-impulse pathways
• Means letting go of control

Morality: limiting our actions when we know they are or will not be clear, with the goal of ending Crushing Chronic Distress in mind.

• Three domains:
  • Moral contemplation
  • Moral articulation
  • Moral commitment

Rains Contemplation: using thought with clarity

Rains Insight: intuitively understanding the world at all times, made up of Six Core Insights

• The deep, unforgettable knowledge that makes confusing situations clear. Knowledge that is intellectual, emotional, sensory, and somehow more. 
• The Six Core Insights are a complete list, there’s nothing to add or subtract:

1. Life is Crushing Chronic Distress
2. Wanting is the cause of this distress
3. Life is Change
4. There is No Self
