Introduction

The concept of the world (or the world of the universe) is constantly changing. In other words, the concept of coming into being, lasting, and perishing is a constant and constant influence on everything. In the solar system, the universe, in which we live, the vastness of space and the infinity of time are the most powerful things. Only because of the vastness of space, there are hardness, balance, softness, and fragmentation, and the nature of destruction, such as the earth, which is cold, warm, hot, and burning, and the nature of destruction, such as the form of the earth, which is cold, hot, hot, and burning, and the nature of the wind, which is strong, strong, and capable of moving and destroying, and the nature of the air, which is strong, strong, and capable of moving and destroying, and the nature of the flow, formation, mixing, and combination, and the nature of the universe, which is strong, strong, and capable of creating, creating, and combining The existence of the four great elements (or four material states) or the four great forms of the apo-form, which are subject to change and destruction, is the reason why the inanimate material world and the spiritual world (or the material world) exist.

The four elements occupy space and time, are the cause of all things, create and shape everything, and dominate the fate of all living things with great power. These four elements both initiate and end the fate of all living things. The nature of these four elements is that each element has its own nature and is constantly in tension with the other elements. Therefore, the four elements are constantly changing the situation, and the continuous change of the living material world is also automatically included. However, among these four elements, the two partners and the two opponents, which are the combined forces of each other, are constantly struggling and changing. All living things are involved in this movement. The more we understand in detail and in depth the properties of these four elements, which are the fundamental causes of the constant movement and change of the world, the more we will be able to understand the nature of the living world, which is formed by the interaction of mind and body. Therefore, let us briefly discuss the properties and causes of each of these four elements.

The concept of the elemental nature is - Sahajatarupa, as explained by Nipatanti Ettati Elemental Nature. When it exists, it is with itself, and when it disappears, it is with itself, and when it disappears, it is a companion,

Similarly, the other three great elements, namely, the apo, the teja, and the vayo, also carry their own characteristics. They carry their own characteristics through characteristics, through rasa, and through the present state. The nature of the earth can be made rough by kakkala, or hard by dhaddha, or it can bring about the existence and dependence of the other three elements by patitthana, and it can also carry the characteristics of accepting, receiving, and retaining them by sampattisanna.

Although the four great elements are in harmony, they are called samsara because they do not take on the characteristics of one great element but only carry out their own characteristics. According to the Pali expression samsara samsara tetiti dhaton, they are called samsara because they carry out their own characteristics. Although it is true that these four great elements act according to their own nature, they cannot be in harmony if there is no physical element to support them. (For example, gravity is the force of attraction between two objects to prevent them from scattering.)

The nature of the element of apo is: its nature is cooling, flowing, softening, forming, combining, dissolving, and the like. It has the nature of combining the material elements that are with it. (For example, if you want to combine metal and material elements, you have to melt them with fire and mix them by softening them.) The nature of the element of teza is like this. The nature of the element of teza is more powerful than the other three great elements. It has the nature of burning, ripening, becoming gas, becoming vapor, turning into powder, causing color to disappear, and not making a soft and delicate appearance. The shorthand meaning is very hot (for example, just as the heat of the Sun has the power to burn everything, so there must be a burning sensation in the universe).

The meaning of the word "Vaya" is this. The meaning of the word "Vaya" is the meaning of the word "Vaya". It is the meaning of moving. It has the characteristic of moving to another place, of changing. It is the ally of the word "Teza" and has the meaning of being strong and fast. (For example, an airplane is faster than a car or a train, and a radio telephone, which uses air waves and sound waves, is faster than a wire, and a letter sent via the Internet, a letter sent via email, a letter sent via fax, and a picture is faster.)

Just as the mother of the physical body is the fire, so the grave of the physical body is the apo element. According to the Atthāsalī Atthākathā, the mind is the source of the physical body, The meaning is that the air in the mind (va) is the energy of the mind, and the mind, the body, the body, the aggregates, the aggregates, the movement, the stability, the strength, the fear

As for all the forms that can be known - in accordance with the words of the Aththasara Lini Atthakatha, which means the mind is in harmony with the five aggregates, the physical and mental states, and the five aggregates are called physical and mental states. In Burmese, physical means body, physical means form, and physical means decay. Physical means life, life means mind, and mind means knowledge, etc., as U Hlaing, a monk, pointed out.

How can a human being, who is involved in this great system of natural phenomena, be free from the suffering of birth and death, which is called becoming and passing away? Human beings, who cannot escape from this nature of becoming and passing away, are fortunately superior to all other beings in terms of intelligence, and the reason for this is the large size of the brain, which is proportionally larger than that of other beings.

“Large brain size is an indicator of intelligence (or intelligence). It is generally accepted by science that animals with larger brains are more intelligent than those with disproportionate brain size. Dinosaurs had brains the size of a pea, and among mammals, the elephant and the dolphin are the most intelligent, due to their large brains. Science says that humans are the largest of all animals on our planet, in proportion to their body size and brain size, and therefore the most intelligent.

Humans have the ability to learn from the past and apply it to the present, and thus have the ability to think and reason about the future. Humans have thought about the afterlife and have longed for a better life than this life, and they have longed for a better life than this life. Therefore, humans have believed that they are at a crossroads in their human lives. They have longed for a better life than this life. They have not wanted a life that is inferior to this life. Therefore, they have thought and imagined ways to achieve a better life. Humans have thought that they can pray to powerful people and have imagined and offered sacrifices to gods of fire, water, wind, and earth, which they believe are powerful. Finally, they have created the gods of knowledge, Even today, idol worship and offerings to Brahma, the four deities, and the Lord God are still practiced.

In various religions of the world, they have set goals such as the welfare of the next life, the attainment of eternal happiness, and liberation from the cycle of birth and death, but they have not been able to provide precise guidance. However, it has been observed that the goal of Buddhism, Nibbana, is a precise and solid concept based on natural logic, Agama logic, and doctrine logic. The places where the gods and Brahma land exist, such as the Myinmo Mountain, the Seven-tiered Mountain, the Anawara Lake, and the Gandhamadhana Mountain, are described in a way that is not based on natural logic, and attract people's attention by drawing them into a vague and uncertain thought.

The author had memorized the word Nibbana since childhood and had been trying to figure out its meaning. The first step was to memorize it by hearing it spoken, and then to understand it as saying that Nibbana is nothing, for example, it seemed like a cloud of smoke gradually disappearing into space. When he became a student, he realized that the word Nibbana was borrowed from the Kala language, and it meant nimbana. nimbana, nothing, vana-defilement, in other words, purity,
