What are Buddha awakened and how? (While considering with Paccaya Sutta S12:20 and Anatta-lakkhana Sutta S22:59 etc.)

1. idappaccayatā

Q : What are Buddha awakened?

A : Buddha awakened idappaccayatā(in this, the fact of having paccaya).

SN 12.20 PTS: S ii 25 CDB i 550 Paccaya Sutta: Requisite Conditions

"Now what is paṭiccasamuppādo? Jātipaccayā, bhikkhave, jarāmaraṇaṃ. Whether or not there is the arising of Tathagatas, this property stands this regularity of the Dhamma, this orderliness of the Dhamma, idappaccayatā(in this, the fact of having paccaya). The Tathagata directly awakens to that(idappaccayatā), breaks through to that. Directly awakening & breaking through to that, he declares it, teaches it, describes it, sets it forth. He reveals it, explains it, makes it plain, & says, 'Look.' Jātipaccayā, bhikkhave, jarāmaraṇaṃ.

Q : What is the relationship between idappaccayatā and paṭiccasamuppāda?

A : The paṭiccasamuppāda is idappaccayatā.

SN 12.20 PTS: S ii 25 CDB i 550 Paccaya Sutta: Requisite Conditions

What's there in this way is a reality, not an unreality, not other than what it seems, idappaccayatā. This(idappaccayatā) is called paṭiccasamuppāda.

Iti kho, bhikkhave, yā tatra tathatā avitathatā anaññathatā idappaccayatāayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, paṭiccasamuppādo.

Q : How did Buddha awakened 'paṭiccasamuppāda(idappaccayatā)'?

A : (1) Buddha awakened 'paṭiccasamuppāda(idappaccayatā)' by realizing that the twelve tasks(avijiā, sankhāra, viññāna, nāma-rūpa, salāyatana, phassa, vedanā, tanhā, upādāna, bhava, jāti, jarāmaranam) are paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā. (2) Buddha also awakened 'paṭiccasamuppāda(idappaccayatā)' by realizing that the five khandha(rūpa, vedanā, saññā, sankhāra, viññāna) are paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā.

SN 12.20 PTS: S ii 25 CDB i 550 Paccaya Sutta: Requisite Conditions

"And what are paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā? jarāmaranam are paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā: inconstant, compounded, paṭiccasamuppannaṃ, subject to ending, subject to passing away, subject to fading, subject to cessation.

Saṃyutta Nikāya 22 Connected Discourses on the Aggregates 21. Ānanda

“Rūpa, Ānanda, is impermanent, conditioned, paṭiccasamuppannaṃ, subject to destruction, to vanishing, to fading away, to cessation. Through its cessation, cessation is spoken of.

Q : Why is the paccaya of idapaccaya so important?

A : Buddha awakened that paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā appeared or disappeared according to paccaya(casual relation) appearing or disappearing. In other words, It is said(implied) that all paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā depend on paccaya(casual relation)!

http://www.palikanon.com/english/sangaha/chapter_8.htm

Paccaya is casual relation.

 

http://www.soogar.com/dhammawheel/thought_system_eng.htm

The picture above is called DFD(Data Flow Diagram) using by programmers when they design program or system. As you can see on the picture, tne program or system is an agregation of paccayas(casual relation) among between data and process(task), data and data, process(task) and process(task). It is not incorrect that you can see the rupa and nama of a thought-system as a synonym of data and process(task) of a computer system.

Q : What is the result of the awakening of 'paṭiccasamuppāda(idappaccayatā)' and paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā?

A : There is nothing to run unnecessarily into past, present and future.

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn12/sn12.020.than.html

SN 12.20 PTS: S ii 25 CDB i 550 Paccaya Sutta: Requisite Conditions

"When a disciple of the noble ones has seen well with right discernment this 'paṭiccasamuppāda(idappaccayatā)' & these paṭiccasamuppannā dhammā as they have come to be, it is not possible that he would run after the past, thinking, 'Was I in the past? Was I not in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past? Having been what, what was I in the past?'

2. anatta

Q : What are Buddha awakened?

A : Buddha awakened anattā.

AN 3.134 PTS: A i 286 Thai 3.137

Dhamma-niyama Sutta: The Discourse on the Orderliness of the Dhamma

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an03/an03.134.than.html

"Whether or not there is the arising of Tathagatas, this property stands this steadfastness of the Dhamma, this orderliness of the Dhamma: All phenomena are not-self(sabbe dhammā anattā).[1] "The Tathagata directly awakens to that, breaks through to that. Directly awakening & breaking through to that, he declares it, teaches it, describes it, sets it forth. He reveals it, explains it, & makes it plain: All phenomena are not-self(sabbe dhammā anattā)."

Q : How did Buddha awakened 'anatta'?'

A : Buddha realized anatta through a simple experiment like the following. Try it yourself as Buddha did and then you should realized 'anatta'!

SN 22.59 PTS: S iii 66 CDB i 901 Pañcavaggi Sutta: Five Brethren

(aka: Anatta-lakkhana Sutta: The Discourse on the Not-self Characteristic)

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn22/sn22.059.than.html

"Rūpa, monks, is 'anatta'. If rūpa were 'atta', this rūpa would not lend itself to dis-ease. It would be possible [to say] with regard to rūpa, 'Let this rūpa be thus. Let this rūpa not be thus.' But precisely because rūpa is 'anatta', rūpa lends itself to dis-ease. And it is not possible [to say] with regard to rūpa, 'Let this form be thus. Let this rūpa not be thus.'

Q : What the result of the awakening of 'anatta'?

A : You will have ‘knowledge of vimutti’ like the following.

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn22/sn22.059.than.html

With full release, there is the knowledge, 'Fully released.' He discerns that 'Birth is ended(Khīṇā jāti), the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world(nāparaṃ itthattāyā).'"

Vimuttasmiṃ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṃ hoti. ‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.

Words in ending.

Buddha who realized 'anatta' and paṭiccasamuppāda(idappaccayatā), should have reached vimutti, and there is no doubt the vimutti must be to meet and experience the ultimate reality, Nibbana! Nowadays, if we are fully immersed in Paccaya Sutta S12:20 and Anattalakkhaṇasutta S22:59 as when five Bhikkhus had heard the word of Budda 2,600 years ago, will not we also reach vimutti(experiencing Nibbana)? I believe the 'immediate vimutti' of Anattalakkhaṇasutta S22:59 as true! Let's challenge once!(fin)
