Things to know about Dhamma

[kalyanamithra]

Dear friends,

Thought to post a link to a Deshana on "Potthapada Sutta" by Ven. Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero...

In addition to the Sutta, the Thero briefly presents few points on Sasthru Sashana, history of Dhamma, start of Mahamevnawa, etc. in the introductory part.

I personally think this Deshana as one worthy to listen to (as it clarifies a lot of misinformation).

Even this Sutta from Dhiganikaya is special, as it explains few things not disclosed elsewhere... It will surely clarify misinformation we have got about Mano Kaya...

Inviting you to find out more at: http://www.gautamabuddha.ca/bana/sinhala/018_Pottapada_sutta.mp3

[reference to Tipitaka:
http://www.mettanet.org/tipitaka/2Sutta-Pitaka/1Digha-Nikaya/Digha1/09-potthapada-s.html
It's also available online as a Mahamevnawa Tipitaka Publication: http://www.gautamabuddha.org/downloads/pdf/thripitaka/Deega_Nikya_1_part_02.pdf (It is the 9th Sutta of Seelakandha Vagga)

Dear friends,

Once we have started to practice Dhamma, we should venture deeper...
Hope you are already doing that. This post is only for those still not attempted it... :)

My friends, we should not be afraid to read/listen Dhamma. We might not understand all (our aim is realizing them some day... as much as we can during this life time...). So no need to worry if they are difficult to follow.. But following them would become easier as Dhamma develops in us...

About shraddha: Shraddha you have will be more than enough to start... :) Shraddha will grow as we understand how true Dhamma is.. even listening to deeper aspects and trying to compare it against ourselves is good...

As we know well if one sees Paticcasamuppada, he/she will see Dhamma.
Shall we focus the discussion to these aspects?

I feel that following Sutta will provide a good overview of Paticcasamuppada, Ayathana, Upadanakkanda, Asava, Kamma, Dhathu, etc...

These Suthra were intended for those having basic Shraddha... because they reveal a lot of deep aspects that we should be aware of...

It was through Deshana by Ven. Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero that I learn Shri Sadhdharma. And I have not spend more than 1 1/2 years practicing it. So I too am a beginner. I accept what in these Deshanas to be true; because I had examined them a lot against Dhamma text before I came to conclusion that Ven. Thero is a member of "Shrawaka Sangha". I am not asking you to believe me; please see for yourselves..

As we know Shri Saddharma is like a great ocean gradually getting deeper starting from its shore... (reference: Paharada Sutta; deshana on it: http://www.gautamabuddha.org/downloads/mp3/6/6.8_paharada_sutta.mp3 )

If you are a beginner to "true" Shri Sadhdharma (because what we learn at schools are somewhat different... :( ) better to listen to introductory ones too...
e.g. you can start with a Deshana in: http://www.gautamabuddha.ca/SinhalaBanaAvabodaya.aspx

Another important thing is to start practicing a small meditation like Anithya Bhavanawa; which gives us deeper insight into Dhamma.

We should be always mindful that our mind is deceiving. If we experience/conclude something not in accordance with Dhamma, it is our thinking that's wrong - not Shri Sadhdharma. Best way is to check with Dhamma text or ask someone you can safely assume to be a Kalyanamithra.

Another thing is being modest; what we know/feel/realize is very little.. After all our aim is trying to realize Dhamma to our capability...

[kalyanamithra]

bt wateva i do it shud be logical...so is there a way that i can learn how to dive???...:) (coz wat i've learnt z if u try to dive without knowing how to dive , ul end up no where)...:D

Thought to add few more points... I am a beginner please correct me/add more if you feel like...

Yes, we should do it logically; justifiably.

If Shraddha starts to develop as we learn more and examine ourselves/world against Dhamma we are in the correct Path. This Shraddha is called "Akarawathi Shraddha" which is justifiable unlike "Amulika Shraddha" (i.e. baseless). We come to this on realizing that characteristics of Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha are True (because we can see evidence in Dhamma and what we experience).

Better listen to this: http://www.gautamabuddha.org/downloads/Mp3/Avijja_Sutta..mp3

When listening to Dhamma:
- Do not be afraid/discouraged if a feeling of knowing little comes; Perhaps the feeling can be made a point to focus more and more on Dhamma :)
- Better to make short notes in the begining; the need might get less important as we practice Dhamma more and more...
- Meditations like Anithya Bhavana, Panchaupadanakkhanda bhavana, etc. are really helpful as they helps us to maintain Yoniso Manasikara

kalyanamitra, i hav a question regarding you,

to make it clear to everybody i'm gonna ask you this question,

are you hamuduruwo ? (buddhist priest)

if so it is better tell it out, i don't think there is any problem by saying it out.

coz i saw some were calling you as machan or someother words. (it is not good in respect wise)

if we know you are a monk then we can give you proper respect. also happy to see someone like that in our forum to get some advice.

thanx

take care.

It's a flimsy arrangement/set up which gives rise to 'Paticca Samuppada'/ 'dependent origination' that has brought us all along this samsaraic existence...

It underlies all our actions, although not apparent to us. It takes the wisdom of a Sammasambuddha to realize this without outsider help... We are fortunate to hear it in Shri Saddharma.

Pinwath mithuranai,

A Gatha we chant at the end of many meritorious deeds (probably) without knowing the meaning...


"Iminā punna kammena
Māme bāla samāgamo
Satam samāgamo hotu
Yāva Nibbāna pattyā"

By the virtue of this meritorious deed
May I not come to association with the Foolish
May I encounter the Wise
Until I attain the Nibbana (the Supreme Bliss)

I was saying it blindly for a long time :( without knowing what it means...

Niote:
'Foolish' may not be the ideal word for 'Bala' (in Pali);
I think (in Sinhalese) it's Agnana (අඥාන) and perhaps Asathpurusha (අසත්පුරුෂ) in Buddhist context.
It's proper meaning can be appreciated only through Dhamma...

The Gatha will make a sense when we start to understand the meaning of "Bala"; and why we need to follow the Path...

when there's a war against invaders?..(wars are common throughout the history and will be until theres no ppl on the earth)

[kalyanamithra]

when there's a war against invaders..etc?
Pinwath Mithura,

It's a sin to kill even enemies at war :)
A rare instance of such purity is: Shakya clan chosing death without fighting when they were invaded by King Vidudabha (with the sole aim of extermination). This happened because most of the Shakyas were practicing Buddhists...

Then one may wonder why Buddhist monks did not intevene when kings/rulers fight against invaders...

The reason is that aim of Dhamma is helping one purify oneself. Those practicing Dhamma never kill another being even if it costs his/her life.

At the same time they do not go around protesting unnecessarily against killings at wars; killing animals; use of insecticides; etc. done by others. It's good if these things stop; but it won't as long as people have Raga, Dvesha and Moha inside. (note: What Dhamma does is helping individuals become free of Raga, Dvesha and Moha)

Moreover Pancha Sila is not an End for the Buddhists. Practicing Five Percepts (Pancha Sila) does not help a Buddhist unless he/she does it as a part of the Path to Nibbana.
True, It's good if all people start oberving the Fice Percepts; but that alone won't make them Buddhists... or help them attain Nibbana...

So what Buddhists do is: spreading Dhamma so that others would start practicing. This is more effective because those practicing Dhamma are doing it genuinely; not because of fear of punishments; but because of knowing what it would bring forth...

Hope I've addressed your concern...

Pinwath mithura,

The ultimate aim of a practicing Buddhist is Nibbana.
What he/she does to achieve is practicing 'Noble Eightfold Path'.

If you have no doubts about the Path:
- please start practicing it
- you may not achieve the Goal in this life; but whatever achieved before you die won't be lost; the Path can be resumed in the next life (provided that you become Shraddhanussari)... This is a characteristic of the Path;

If you doubt the Path:
- please put aside what you doubt; and concentrate on what you can accept...
- then start following what you accept (e.g. how Dhamma explains anger; try to examine it based on your experience on anger)
- gradually you'll realize there's a Truth in Dhamma... the Shraddha you gain at the point on Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha is firm... and you'd become Shraddhanussari (which marks you being a True Follower of Sammasambuddha Gautama)

Using "Theruwan Saranai" (may the blessings of the Triple Gem be with you) is of more significance; because its through Sharaddha towards Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha that a person becomes a Buddhist...

Use of this phrase should at least remind others of the importance of "Thisarana"...

What do you think?

Theruwan saranai!

Pinwath mithura,

You are welcome my friend :)
I am sorry about our use of SINGLISH in most of the posts :(
Seems it easier for many of us to converse that way... True, it's unfair by the others...

There is another thread:

initiated to highlight the facts of life of the Thero.
Again the content is in SINGLISH and SINHALESE... :(

What needs to be highlighted from all of theses is:
- how the Teachings of the Buddha had been put aside, hidden underneath a lot of myths (during the last couple of centuries)
- how difficult it was even for the Thero to realize the fact...
- how fortunate we are to be aware of that

Now we have Dhamma, and the ability to think independently.
It's up to us to follow the Path...

Theruwan saranai!

Pinwath mithurani,

Thought to mention 5 more deshana in simple language and of introductory nature explaining Sotahpaththi Anga. They've been delivered at Mahamevnawa, Canada.

Pinwath mithurani,

Have you heard people saying there's no "sathwa"; there's no "pudgala"?
This is a gatha disclosed by Sammasambuddha (mentioned at the end of Bhara Sutta)

Please note that this is not the complete Sutta...

http://lh4.ggpht.com/kalyanamithra/SJ6jcEShWKI/AAAAAAAAA8k/bxBJQ7Bz8XA/s800/bhara_sutta.jpg
[source: http://www.gautamabuddha.org/downloads/pdf/thripitaka/Sanyuththa_Nikaya_3_Part_02.pdf ]

It is this 'pudgalaya' that undergo samsaraic existence... However existence happens only till that 'pudgalaya' has Avijja; and treats him/her as 'self'

A Deshana on the Sutta is found at:
http://www.gautamabuddha.org/downloads/mp3/4/4.5_Bahara_Sutta.mp3

Theruwan saranai!
