  • Od Mirnega Uma Do Splošne Odgovornosti
    OD MIRNEGA UMA DO SPLOŠNE ODGOVORNOSTI Wangmo Tenzin Misel vodi vse stvari, misel jih rodi in oblikuje. Če človek, poln zlih misli, govori ali deluje, trpljenje mu zato sledi kot voz kopitom vpreženega vola. Misel vodi vse stvari, misel jih rodi in oblikuje. Če človek dobrih misli govori ali deluje, sreča vedno mu sledi, kot senca ga nikoli ne zapusti. (Buda)1 Da bi se soočili z izzivi sodobnega časa, bodo morali ljudje razviti večji občutek za splošno odgovornost. Vsak od nas se mora naučiti delovati ne le za blagor samega sebe, svoje družine ali naroda, temveč za blagor vsega človeštva. Splošna odgovornost je ključ za preživetje človeštva. Je resničen ključ za naše preživetje in najboljši temelj za mir v svetu. Je tudi najboljši temelj za miru v svetu, pravično uporabo naravnih virov in prek skrbi za prihodnje generacije pravilna skrb za okolje. (Dalajlama)2 Priljubljena budistična zgodba pripoveduje, da je nekega dne pa- stir, ki je vodil svojo čredico po gorskih pašnikih, naletel na votlino, v kateri je sedel meditant. »Kaj pa počneš sredi ničesar?« je pastir 1 Dhammapada: besede modrosti, prev. in spremna beseda Primož Pečenko (Ljubljana: Mla- dinska knjiga, 1990), I, 1–2. 2 Dalai Lama, Healing Anger: The Power of Patience from a Buddhist Perspective (Ithaca, New York: Snow Lion, 1997), xii. https://doi.org/10.35469/poligrafi.2019.209 Poligrafi, št. 95/96, letn. 24, 2019, str. 107-126 107 POLIGRAFI vprašal meditanta. »Meditiram,« mu je ta odgovoril. »O čem pa me- ditiraš?« je poizvedel pastir. »Meditiram na temo potrpežljivosti,« je odvrnil meditant.

  • A Sacred Lotus
    Online at http://www.bangkokpost.com/feature/religion/33380/a-sacred-lotus Published 23/02/2010 A Sacred Lotus Spiritual activist Susan Pembroke nurtures the development of Theravada bhikkhuni communities around the world By Nissara Horayangura Spend some time with Susan Pembroke and you will begin to question many of the assumptions often made of supporters of bhikkhuni, or fully-ordained Buddhist female monks. Some common stereotypes depict them as being angry feminists demanding equal rights and accusing bhikkhus of misogyny, Westerners imposing Western concepts of gender equality and human rights on Asian culture, or women simply wanting ordination for status. In some cases, arguably a minority, there may be a degree of truth to such characterisations. But here is one to which none of the above apply. Pembroke is the founder and president of the Alliance for Bhikkhunis (AFB), a US-based non-profit organisation whose mission is to support the development of thriving Theravada bhikkhuni sanghas in the US and Thailand. For her work supporting Buddhism, she was honoured with a 2009 Outstanding Women in Buddhism Award. While the word "alliance" can have martial connotations, Pembroke herself exudes a gentleness and warmth that one can immediately sense. Perhaps it comes partly from having practiced meditation for over 20 years. She currently serves as a guiding teacher of the Insight Meditation of Ventura, a meditation organisation in California that she also founded. It is striking how in many ways she actually seems very Thai, blonde hair notwithstanding. She speaks softly and very diplomatically, and when she wai’s (putting hands together in a gesture of respect) to monks and nuns she bows deeply in a very natural way, showing none of the stiffness or awkwardness often seen in foreigners.

Parents tend to scrutinize a new baby's personality for special characteristics and imagine a highly successful future for their child. Some of us look for indications that our child is highly evolved spiritually. The mind of a child, however, is not ordinarily a limpid pool of wisdom. Like all of us, children are driven by desire, greed, dissatisfaction, and anger. As children grow and the brain develops neurologically, these themes arise repeatly. In each phase of development, we find that children's actions are compelled by impulse, namely, how to get what "I" want. As the child's "I" differentiates itself from the "I" of others at about the age of three, desires become more personalized.

    A BASIC BUDDHIST READING LIST FROM BODHI MONASTERY Including the Theravada and Mahayana Traditions at the Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Levels (For selected modern applications and interpretations, see the Modern Personal Perspectives on the Dharma List.) The teachers, students, and friends of Bodhi Monastery have suggested these readings; therefore, this is not a complete or impartial selection. This list • tries to capture the most general and important teachings of various traditions, teachers, etc., that we are familiar with; • restricts itself to the titles that deal with basic Buddhist teachings rather than with aspects of Buddhism from highly personal points of view; • includes a broad range from beginner to advanced, casual to scholarly, specific to comprehensive; and • lists specific teachings of certain genres only if the suggestions were expert. Our review and editing of the list were based on the presence in the reading materials of fundamental Buddhist principles; that is to say, the main criterion was that the reading material be based on proper Buddhadhamma / Buddhadharma • in accord with Dependent Origination (paticca-samuppada); • in accord with the Four Noble Truths (cattari ariya saccani); and • in accord with the Three Characteristics (ti-lakkhana). In terms of practice, the readings were selected • in accord with the practice of morality, meditation, and insight-wisdom (sila, samadhi, and panna).

  • The Spiral Path Or Lokuttara Paṭicca-Samuppāda Jayarava Attwood 1
    The Spiral Path or Lokuttara Paṭicca-samuppāda Jayarava Attwood 1 Jayarava was ordained in 2005, and is an independent researcher based in Cambridge. His articles have appeared in the Western Buddhist Review, as well as the Journal of Buddhist Ethics. He is author of Visible Mantra, and Nāmapada: a Guide to names in the Triratna Buddhist Order. Abstract This article surveys the Spiral Path or Lokuttara Paṭicca-samuppāda in the Pāli Nikāyas, with some reference to Chinese parallels, exploring the similarities and differences between the presentations to further elucidate the doctrine which has been at the forefront of the teaching of Sangharakshita and the Triratna Buddhist Order.2 English language sources are also surveyed and critiqued. Most writing to date has focussed on a single text, the Upanisā Sutta, which is shown to be unrepresentative of the class as a whole, and a new locus classicus is suggested in the Cetanākaraṇīya Sutta. The Spiral Path is seen to conform to the general outline of the Buddhist path as consisting of ethics, meditation and wisdom. 1 My thanks to Dhīvan and the anonymous reviewers for their comments on an earlier draft of this essay that helped me to substantially improve it. 2 A survey of the Chinese Spiral path texts by Jayarava and Maitiu O’Ceileachair is presently underway, and will hopefully be published in the near future. Western Buddhist Review 2013 (6): 1–34 JAYARAVA – SPIRAL PATH Introduction The doctrine of paṭicca-samuppāda, or dependent arising, lies at the heart of all Buddhist thought and practice. The variety of applications of this doctrine can be divided into two major categories with titles drawn from the Theravāda commentarial text Nettipakaraṇa.

Trước kia là những bài thuyết Pháp của tôi về An Lành có in bằng ronéo, Đại đức Hộ Giác nhận thấy hữu ích cho người tu Phật, nên ngài hỏi ý kiến tôi để ấn tống; trong lúc ấy tôi chưa làm hoàn toàn những bài pháp An Lành sau cùng, từ 33 đến pháp 38, nên Đại đức Hộ Giác vui lòng soạn giúp những pháp an lành còn bỏ dở ấy. Khi tôi có thời giờ nhàn rỗi xem lại, tôi thấy những bài pháp tôi đã soạn không được rõ ràng và thiếu sót rất nhiều, chẳng hạn như không nói rõ quả báo của mỗi pháp an lành. 2.
