Construction is the nature of mind. The mind constantly predicts what will happen next and interprets sensory information through conventions. This process helps a person understand the self and the world, and this process also shapes perception before a person becomes consciously aware.
In general, what you call reality, based on sensory information, is your mind’s best guess as it builds an understanding of self and the world. One may feel certain about what one experiences without realising how much interpretation happens behind the scenes.
There are conscious, subconscious, and unconscious thoughts. In other words, a person can have unconscious thoughts and mental processes that occur outside their immediate awareness. Buddha’s path explains how a person can escape and become free from their conscious, subconscious, and unconscious thoughts through noble wisdom and universal laws.
Among spiritual friends, some may find modern-day mindfulness practices useful. However, it’s worth understanding that any benefit a person gains from common mindfulness practices is temporary; while a person is conscious, they may experience temporary peace or freedom by focusing on breath, sensations and the like.
Buddha’s version of noble mindfulness offers stable freedom, and that’s because the noble path lets a person experience freedom not merely through conscious thought but also through subconscious and unconscious thought. Thus, those already well aware of mindfulness and other practices, if they wish to expand further, may advance their practice by shaping the noble view; maintaining and growing the noble view is noble mindfulness.
“Therein, bhikkhus, right view comes first. And how does right view or noble view come first? One understands wrong view, or non-noble view, as wrong view, and right view as right view: this is one’s right view….
“…One makes an effort to abandon wrong view and to enter upon right view or noble view: this is one’s right effort. Mindfully one abandons wrong view, mindfully one enters upon and abides in right view: this is one’s right mindfulness. Thus these three states run and circle around right view, that is, right view, right effort, and right mindfulness…”
-Mahācattārīsakasutta, MN 117
A person understands the self and the world through sensory information, shaped by both nature’s laws and society’s construction. Understanding self comes not only through conscious effort but also through universal rhythm and nature.
To cease, one must use the same source it came from: nature’s laws and society’s construction; let go of the delusion of society's construction; and expand a limited understanding of self, social practices, doubts and the like.
Anger and kindness are two kinds of mind construction. You can surpass both with wisdom, ensuring you don’t hurt yourself or others by following the middle way and to experience freedom. You may surpass your mind with wisdom. In this way, Buddha’s universal Dharma is deep and hard to see through sensory information alone.
“This Dhamma that I have realized is deep, hard to see, hard to understand, peaceful and sublime, cannot be realized by reasoning, subtle, and to be experienced by the wise…”
-Ayācana Sutta,SN 6.1
A person understands self, and the world within. In the same way, a person understands the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha within. This explains why, for those with purity within, Gautama Buddha was a Buddha. For example, Buddha was a supreme Buddha for Arahant Sariputta and Arahant Mahamoggallana. Buddha was not a Buddha for ordinary monk Devadatta. Nibbana is an understanding; ordinary understanding makes an ordinary being. Surpassing ordinary understanding with wisdom makes it possible to become free from the ordinary state, limited understanding of self and the world, suffering, and samsara.
