    Deep Dive into Vipassana Copyright © 2020 Lion’s Roar Foundation, except where noted. All rights reserved. Lion’s Roar is an independent non-profit whose mission is to communicate Buddhist wisdom and practices in order to benefit people’s lives, and to support the development of Buddhism in the modern world. Projects of Lion’s Roar include Lion’s Roar magazine, Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Quarterly, lionsroar.com, and Lion’s Roar Special Editions and Online Learning. Theravada, which means “Way of the Elders,” is the earliest form of institutionalized Buddhism. It’s a style based primarily on talks the Buddha gave during his forty-six years of teaching. These talks were memorized and recited (before the internet, people could still do that) until they were finally written down a few hundred years later in Sri Lanka, where Theravada still dominates – and where there is also superb surf. In the US, Theravada mostly man- ifests through the teaching of Vipassana, particularly its popular meditation technique, mindfulness, the awareness of what is hap- pening now—thoughts, feelings, sensations—without judgment or attachment. Just as surfing is larger than, say, Kelly Slater, Theravada is larger than mindfulness. It’s a vast system of ethics and philoso- phies. That said, the essence of Theravada is using mindfulness to explore the Buddha’s first teaching, the Four Noble Truths, which go something like this: 1. Life is stressful. 2. Our constant desires make it stressful. 3. Freedom is possible. 4. Living compassionately and mindfully is the way to attain this freedom. 3 DEEP DIVE INTO VIPASSANA LIONSROAR.COM INTRODUCTION About those “constant desires”: Theravada practitioners don’t try to stop desire cold turkey.

  • Sayadaw U Indaka
    The Little Book of Mettā Chanmyay Myaing Sayadaw Translated from the Burmese by Daw May Myint Oo (Mimmi) Edited by Ven. Vīrañāṇī Foreword According to the Buddha, there is no place where one has not been, and no place where one has not died. The journey in saṃsāra is extremely long: a beginning cannot be found, and there is no end to saṃsāra. In this present life, however, I had never been to C. P. Chong’s meditation centre in Kundasang, at the foot of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, East Malaysia. But I had often heard that it is situated in a quiet, cool surroundings, and has nice buildings and suitable food. The volunteers of the centre are endowed with strong faith and genuine mettā. Each retreat is attended by many yogis even though the discipline is quite strict. I arrived at C. P. Chong’s meditation centre on the 4th of december 2008, accompanied by Venerable Ariya Ñani (Switzerland, translator), Mimmi (Myanmar, translator), and Marjo Oosterhoff (Ireland). When I had a look around the centre, I found it was even better than I had heard. I was pleased and honored to be there, and believe that meditators, if they practice diligently, can easily and happily realize the Dhamma in this centre. The opening ceremony of the ten-day retreat, with about 60 participants was held on the 5th of December 2008 at 8 pm. At the opening ceremony, I talked about the practice of mettā meditation. This booklet, A Little Book of Mettā, is a mettā-gift to all the meditators attending this retreat, and for all who are interested in the practice of loving-kindness.

  • Compassion and Emptiness in Early Buddhist Meditation Provides a Window Into the Depth and Beauty of the Buddha’S Liberating Teachings
    ‘This book is the result of rigorous textual scholarship that can be valued not only by the academic community, but also by Buddhist practitioners. This book serves as an important bridge between those who wish to learn about Buddhist thought and practice and those who wish to learn from it.... As a monk engaging himself in Buddhist meditation as well as a professor applying a historical-critical methodology, Bhikkhu Anālayo is well positioned to bridge these two com munities who both seek to deepen their understanding of these texts.’ – from the Foreword, 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje ‘In this study, Venerable Anālayo Bhikkhu brings a meticulous textual analysis of Pali texts, the Chinese Agamas and related material from Sanskrit and Tibetan to the foundational topics of compassion and emptiness. While his analysis is grounded in a scholarly approach, he has written this study as a helpful guide for meditation practice. The topics of compassion and emptiness are often associated with Tibetan Buddhism but here Venerable Anālayo makes clear their importance in the early Pali texts and the original schools.’ – Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo ‘This is an intriguing and delightful book that presents these topics from the viewpoint of the early suttas as well as from other perspectives, and grounds them in both theory and meditative practice.’ – Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron ‘A gift of visionary scholarship and practice. Anālayo holds a lamp to illuminate how the earliest teachings wed the great heart of compassion and the liberating heart of emptiness and invites us to join in this profound training.’ – Jack Kornfield ‘Arising from the author’s long-term, dedicated practice and study, Compassion and Emptiness in Early Buddhist Meditation provides a window into the depth and beauty of the Buddha’s liberating teachings.

  • A Visit to Thaleba (Support for Villagers)
    Metta In Action Update – March 2015 (1) A Visit to Thaleba (Support for Villagers) My dear Metta In Action friend: I invite you to join me for a visit in Thaleba. Thaleba is the native village of Sayadaw U Indaka, the village where Metta In Action has been supporting a number of projects since 2009. The support given by MIA includes: solar panels, school uniforms, a water tower, an Education Fund, the Metta Clinic, or support for elders. We start the journey in Pyin Oo Lwin where we leave at 4 am from the new branch of Chanmyay Myaing Meditation Centre. Venerable Virañani and myself are accompanied by some meditators who did the special two-week metta retreat at the new meditation centre: Alex, Manfred, Beni, and Alexander. And, of course, our dear friend Mimmi is with us, too. First we head down the winding road to Mandalay. From Mandalay the road heads to the north-west until we reach a town called Sadaung. After Sadaung we have to leave the main road and take a dirt road that leads westwards through fields of wheat, sunflowers, and peanuts. The fields are often lined by palm trees and occasional clusters of trees. Before reaching the Mu River we pass through a couple of villages. With the Mu River in sight, we know that we have finally arrived – after three and a half hours of driving. The bridge over the river is a wooden construction which is dismantled during the rainy season when the river turns into a big torrent with a much On the bridge ...
