Beyond the Tipitaka
1 Beyond the Tipiṭaka A Field Guide to Post-canonical Pāḷi Literature © 2002 access-to-insight Note on the 2016 ABT edition I have somewhat updated this document, which in substance was prepared by John Bullit for Access to Insight in 2003. Diacritics have been added by Ashin Sopāka. Corrections and rearrangements have been made by myself, without notice. One major difference is the inclusion of Ven Buddhadatta’s works amongst the commentaries, which is how they have always been treated by the tradition, and not in the Abhidhamma Manuals and Miscellaneous sections. I have not expanded it greatly, but have made a couple of additions, when materials didn’t seem to be known to the original author.1 Anandajoti Bhikkhu November, 2016 1 For comprehensive coverage of these materials see Ven. Nyanatusita’s, A Reference Table of Pali Literature (Wheel BP607S). 2 Table of Contents Introduction The origins of the post-canonical texts Why these texts matter The authority of the texts A Field Guide Commentaries and Sub-commentaries Para-canonical Texts Chronicles and Historical Accounts The Life of the Buddha Abhidhamma Manuals Miscellaneous Sources Beyond the Tipiṭaka – 3 Preface A quick glance through the pages of the Pāli Text Society’s publications catalog should be enough to convince anyone that there is much more to classical Pāḷi literature than the Tipiṭaka alone. Intermingled with the familiar Nikāyas, Vinaya texts, and Abhidhamma are scores of titles with long, scarcely-pronounceable Pāḷi names. Although many western students of Buddhism may be unacquainted with these works (indeed, most have never been translated into English), these books have for centuries played a crucial role in the development of Buddhist thought and practice across Asia and, ultimately, the West. -
Thirty Seven Factors of Enlightenment-Study Guide-LMW Apr 2-Mar 22-2019-March 3-2019-Feb 20-2019
The Thirty Seven Factors of Enlightenment (Pali, sattatiṃsa bodhipakkhiyā dhammā)1 A Study Guide Table of Contents Introduction 2 The Thirty Seven Factors of Enlightenment 5 Four Establishments of Mindfulness/Recollectedness 5 Four Right Exertions 5 Four Bases of Magical Power/Four Legs of Miraculous Powers 6 The Five Spiritual Faculties 7 The Five Strengths 8 Seven Factors of Enlightenment 8 The Eightfold Path of the Noble Ones (Noble Eightfold Path) 9 Colophon 10 1 In this Study Guide, all Asian words are in the Pali language unless abbreviated as Skt. for Sanskrit or Tib. for Tibetan. Introduction The Thirty Seven Factors of Enlightenment are: • Four Foundations of Mindfulness (satipatthana) • Four Right Efforts (sammappadhana) • Four Bases of Power (iddhipada) • Five Faculties (indriya) • Five Strengths (bala) • Seven Factors of Enlightenment (bojjhanga) • Eight Fold Path (ariya-magga) In the Bhāvanānuyutta sutta (Mental Development Discourse,2), Sakyamuni Buddha states: “Monks, although a monk who does not apply himself to the meditative development of his mind may wish, "Oh, that my mind might be free from the taints by non-clinging!", yet his mind will not be freed. For what reason? "Because he has not developed his mind," one has to say. Not developed it in what? In the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right kinds of striving, the four bases of success, the five spiritual faculties, the five spiritual powers, the seven factors of enlightenment and the Noble Eightfold Path.” If we wish to travel a long distance and take a precious load of cargo to a city, we need a truck that has a powerful enough engine to pull the load and get where we aim to go. -

WISDOM FROM THE FOREST FOR AN ENGLISH BUDDHIST BHIKKHU PAÑÑĀVAḌḌHO AND JANE BROWNE Jane and Ian George Sharp at Wat Baan Tard Freeda Wint at Wat Baan Tard Jane and Freda Wint Jane & George After leaving London, where for four years since 1956 he had been teaching the Buddha-Dhamma as a Buddhist monk, Bhikkhu Paññāvaḍḍho arrived in Thailand seeking for a teacher himself. He chose, and was accepted by, Venerable Acharn Mahā Boowa, who was relatively unknown at that time. His monastery, Wat Pa Baan Taad, was in the north-eastern province of Udon Thani. In those days, it was an area scarcely developed where traveling was done on foot or by bullock cart. The Monastery grounds were partly forested, surrounded by paddy fields and connected to the village by a sandy track lined with tall trees. There was a plentiful supply of water provided from wells and huge rainwater tanks, but beyond that there was little in the way of any other facility. Life in that region was sparse and comfortless and it was there that Jane, in company with her friend Freda Wint, took herself at a time when the notion of two educated and refined middle class ladies going on such an adventure would have been almost unthinkable. When reading the letters it should be remembered that Bhikkhu Paññāvaḍḍho, at the outset of his training under Venerable Acharn Mahā Boowa, was a beginner who had had little more than an intellectual grasp of the teachings of the Buddha. As the letters progress one becomes aware of Bhikkhu Paññāvaḍḍho’s growing insight and wisdom. -
A Historical Look at Pali Studies in Thailand
A Historical Look at Pali Studies in Thailand Prof. Dr. Phra Sigambhirayarn (Somjin Wanjan)* Rector, Mahachulalongkornrajvidyalaya University, Thailand Introduction: After the Third Buddhist Council, Bhikkhus Sona and Uttara the Elder along with their party came to introduce Buddhism into Suvannabhumi Region. Buddhism has become the religion of the people in this region since then. Buddhism may have been introduced into Thailand through at least† three channels: * Although most portions of this article were previously published for the Association of Theravada Buddhist Universities Conference in 2007, I felt that this article should be updated to include new annual stats, and acknowledge the effort by Mr. Dion Peoples, a PhD Candidate in Buddhist Studies, at MCU with a previous Master of Arts in Thai Studies. He greatly assisted with the revision of this article in terms of historical content, and English grammar - providing editor footnotes and other data, including a re-designed conclusion to fit the scope of the current symposium. † Editor’s note – This should not exclude the importance of Sri Lanka or Southern Indians and their effors to disseminate Buddhism as well. Not everything originated from out of the Ganges – to spread Buddhism. Futhermore, according to the text I compiled and wrote for four levels of Thai high school students: According to tradition, Sukhothai Kingdom is the first kingdom of Thai people, but familiarization with Buddhism came several hundred years earlier. About 600 years after the Buddha past way, the Ai Lao people in Yunnan, China had already converted to Buddhism. As the Mongol influence drove the Thai’s southward, Thai’s began to form into city muang’s; Thai’s would become more and more familiar with Theravada Buddhism. -
The Dynamics of Theravāda Insight Meditation
The Dynamics of Theravāda Insight Meditation Bhikkhu Anālayo Centre for Buddhist Studies, University of Hamburg Dharma Drum Buddhist College, Taiwan ．24．佛教禪坐傳統研討會論文集 Abstract With the present paper, I intend to bring out key aspects of the practical dynamics that underlies insight meditation in the Theravāda tradition. I start with a brief survey of three modern day insight meditation traditions (I), followed by examining their common roots in the medieval scheme of insight knowledges (II), which in turn I trace back to the early discourses in the Pāli Nikāyas (III). Key words: Theravāda Buddhism, Vipassanā, Insight- Knowledges, Early Buddhism, Three Characteristics The Dynamics of Theravāda Insight Meditation．25． (I) Three Insight Meditation Traditions In modern days, the three probably most popular approaches to the development of liberating insight in the Theravāda tradition are taught by Mahāsi Sayādaw, S.N. Goenka and Pa Auk Sayādaw respectively.1 Of these approaches to insight, the one that was the first to have a widespread impact on meditation practice in East Asia as well as in the West is the method taught by the Burmese monk Mahāsi Sayādaw (1904-1982). Characteristic for the Mahāsi method is that it dispenses with the formal development of mental tranquillity.2 The main meditation technique in this tradition requires applying mental labels to what is experienced throughout meditation practice in order to sharpen clear recognition. The basic mode of practice during sitting meditation is to observe the ‘rising’ and ‘falling’ motion of the abdomen 1 A survey of modern vipassanā meditation traditions that covers a broader range of teachers can be found in Kornfield (1988), King (1992, 123-44) and Solé-Leris (1992, 125-53); see also Cousins (1996, 35-57). -

(2) To study the characteristics and practices of Theravāda in Vietnam. (3) To study the present status of Theravāda Buddhism in Vietnam. The result of the findings is as follows: Firstly, passing through the historical periods of the land of present day Vietnam, Theravāda Buddhism was practiced by the Khmer in the Mekong Delta, which is recorded to have been integrating into the homeland of Vietnam. Thereby, Theravāda Buddhism became to be practiced in Vietnam. Besides this, Theravāda Buddhism appeared and is followed by the Vietnamese people in other parts of Vietnam outside the Mekong Delta area. -

This relies on the primary source of data used in the documentary research. The methodology adopted in the study is of a critical and investigative approach to the analysis of data gathered from documentary sources. The result indicated that: ancient Cambodia inherited civilization from India. The ancient Cambodians, therefore, respected both Brahmin and Buddhism. The Cambodian way of life in the Angkorian era was primarily agricultural occupation, and the monarchy was the ultimate leader. Buddhism has spread in Cambodia after the finishing of the 3rd Buddhist Council. The king accepted Buddhism as the Code of conduct and carried on for a period. -
