  • The Buddha's Wager by Piya Tan
    Revisioning Buddhism ©Piya Tan, 2017 The Buddha’s wager1 The Buddha always holds the Dharma first, as evident from the Gārava Sutta (S 6.2),2 which records one of the first key events in the Buddha’s life after the great awakening. In the Mahā,- parinibbāna Sutta (D 16),3 which records his last moments, too, the Buddha declares that the Dharma comes first, before the teacher. However, against the Buddha’s clear instructions, other Buddhist sectarians and later teachers put their Sutras and Teachings first. Such disregard from the Buddha arises from various reasons and conditions, but basically it was (and is) on account of desire for worldly gains and following, for putting down rivalry and dissent, and the influence of worldly conditions and other religions. The Buddha does not make such vital statements frivolously or as an option that we may dis- regard. He has very good reasons for giving us such initial and final instructions. To remind ourselves of the vitality of these instructions we will call them the “Buddha’s wager.” This wager or challenge can be simply put like this: The Buddha holds Dharma above himself. Buddha or no Buddha, Dharma is always there. The later sectarian Buddhist teachers place their Sutras and Teachings first. Without these gurus’ Sutras and Teachings, there are no later Buddhist sects. We don’t need the later Buddhist sects, and can and must go directly to the Dharma. Here, I think, is an almost infallible test for the authenticity of the historical Buddha’s teaching or the Buddha Dharma, the teaching of awakening.

Assuming, from an Eternalist perspective, that actions have effects also beyond the present life, Gotama underlines the necessity of betting on the validity of moral kammic retribution. Having thus demonstrated the central ethical error of Nihilism, he subtly introduces peculiar Buddhist moral concepts ( kusala/akusala ) to purify the Eternalist vision from the doctrine of a real existing self ( attāvāda ) and from the puñña /pāpa dichotomy. We can summarize this dialectical course as follows: Nihilism is pāpa /akusala because it denies kamman , Eternalism is puñña /not-akusala because it upholds kamman from a non-Buddhist perspective, Buddhism is kusala because it admits the law of kamman not centered on a theory of a real existing self (anattāvāda ).

  • The Buddha Discovered Dhyana
    SD 33.1b The Buddha Discovered Dhyana The Buddha Discovered Dhyana 1b The nature of dhyana as a basis for liberation An essay1 by Piya Tan ©2010 1 Significance of dhyana Dhyana (P jhāna; Skt dhyāna) is as old as Buddhism itself, probably older. In early Buddhism, how- ever, it developed into a progressive four-stage suprasensory experience of altered consciousness, and has become uniquely Buddhist.2 The importance of dhyana in early Buddhism is attested by the fact that we have numerous discourses where the Buddha describes his experiences of them.3 In such discourses, the Buddha frequently admonishes his disciples to attain dhyana. In the suttas, we also see the word jhna used in both its two basic Buddhist senses: the general sense of “meditation,” and as “dhyana” or “mental absorption,” such as in this discourse: If a monk cultivates the first dhyana (jhāna) for even the duration of a mere finger-snap, then, bhikshus, he is called a monk who dwells as one whose meditation is not in vain (aritta-j,jhāna): a doer of the Teacher’s teaching, a follower of his advice. He does not eat the country’s alms in vain [for nothing].4 (Eka,dhamma Acchar,saghata Sutta, A 1.20/1:38) The well known meditation monk, Ajahn Brahmavaso, opens his insightful experiential paper on “The Jhnas” (2003) with this important declaration: In the original Buddhist scriptures, there is only one word for any level of meditation. Jhna designates meditation proper, where the meditator’s mind is stilled from all thought, secluded from all five-sense activity and is radiant with other-worldly bliss.

  • 28.14 Iddhipada Vibhanga S S51.20 Piya
    Sayutta Nikya *** S *** Iddhi,pāda Vibhaga Sutta The Discourse on the Analysis of the Bases of Spiritual Power | S 51.20/5:276-281 Theme: Keeping one’s meditation balanced Translated by Piya Tan ©2006 Introduction 1 The Iddhi,pāda Vibhaṅga Sutta (S 51.20) is one of the most instructive texts on the fourfold “path to spiritual power” (iddhi,pāda), that is, aspects of meditation practice.1 It gives an “analysis” of psychic power (iddhi) in the classic vibhaṅga style.2 It shares some significant and unusual features with the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta (M 10): the terms “constricted mind” (saṅkhitta citta) (S 51.20.22) and “distract- ed mind” (vikkhita citta) (S 51.20.23), and the 31 parts of the body (S 51.20.25), in the analysis of mind.3 The Sutta’s key passage gives an interesting analysis that provides details on the manner of cultivat- ing all four of these factors. Here, bhikshus, a monk cultivates the basis of psychic power consisting of samadhi due to enthusiasm …to energy…to mind…to investigation and active striving, thinking: “Thus my enthusiasm will be neither too slack nor too tense, and it will neither be constricted within (due to sloth & torpor) nor be distracted externally (due to sense pleasures).” He abides perceiving before and after: “As before, so after; as after, so before; as below, so above; as above, so below; as by day, so by night; as by night, so by day.” Thus with heart open and unenveloped, he cultivates a mind imbued with luminosity. (Iddhi,pāda Vibhaṅga Sutta, S 51.20/5:276-278; abridged) 2 The Iddhi,pāda Vibhaṅga Sutta says that these spiritual powers should be progressively moderated so as to avoid the four faults (catu,dosa), that is, it is (1) too slack (atilīna), (2) too tense (atipaggahita), (3) narrow [constricted] internally (ajjhattaṁ saṅkhitta), or (4) distracted externally (bahiddhā vikkhitta).
