The books in this new series, written by leading scholars for students and general readers alike, fall into two categories: some of these well-crafted, thought-provoking portraits of the country’s major religious groups describe and explain particular religious practices and rituals, beliefs, and major challenges facing a given community today.

  • Mahasi Sayadaw's Revolution
    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.

When I was preparing for the evening lecture in San Francisco yesterday, I tried to find something to talk about, but I couldn't; then I thought of the story 1 was told in Obun Festival when I was young. The story is about water and the people in Hell Although they have water, the people in hell cannot drink it because the water burns like fire or it looks like blood, so they cannot drink it.

  • A Short Talk During Zazen
    A Short Talk During Zazen Shunryu Suzuki Roshi (Presented during zazen on the moming of June 28, 1970, between the tenth and eleventh Sandokai lectures) YouSHOULD SIT WITH YOUR WHOLE BODY: your spine, mouth, toes, mudra. l Check on your posture during zazen. Each part of your body should practice zazen independently or separately: Your toes should prac­ tice zazen independently, your mudra should practice zazen independently, and your spine and your mouth should practice zazen independently. You should feel each part of your body doing zazen independently. Each part of your body should participate completely in zazen. Check to see that each part of your body is doing zazen independently- this is also known as shiknntaza. To think, "I am doing zazen" or "my body is doing zazen" is wrong understanding. It is a self-centered idea. The mudra is especially important. You should not feel as if you are resting your mudra on the heel of your foot for your own convenience. Your mudra should be placed in its own position. Don't move your legs for your own convenience. Your legs are practic­ ing their own zazen independently and are com pletely involved in their own pain. They are doing zazen through pain. You should all ow them to practice their own zazen. If you think you are practicing zazen, you are involved in some selfish, egotistical idea. If you think that you have a difficulty in some part of your body, then the rest of the body should help the part that is in difficulty. You are not having difficulty with some part of your body, but the part of the body is having difficulty: for example, your mudra is having difficulty.

The first English commentary on the work was written by Charles Luk. The Song deals with the methods of and attitudes towards daily Zen practice. A central theme is the contrast between dharma-nature, or reality as it is, versus buddha-nature, or self-nature. It also emphasizes practice over sutra- study. ^ Yen, Sheng (2002), The sword of wisdom: commentaries on the song of enlightenment, Dharma Drum Publishing Corp, ISBN 978-1-55643-428-0. ^ Senzaki, Nyogen; McCandless, Ruth S.

For Paramārtha’s account, see T. 2049, 189a1–26 (Taka- kusu 1904: 276–279), and below, n. 2. 2 Takakusu 1904: 278–279: “The Bodhisattva, Ma-ming (Aśvaghoṣa), who was a native of Sha-ki-ta (Sāketa) of the country of Sha-yei (Śrāvastī), was well versed in the eight divisions of the Bi-ka-la (vyākaraṇa) treatise, in the four Vedas, and the six treatises on them (vedāṅgas), and was con- versant with the Tripiṭakas of all the eighteen (Buddhist) schools. He was the Laureate of Literature, the Treasury of Learning, the Home of every Virtue. Kātyāyanīputra sent an envoy to Śrāvastī to invite Aśvaghoṣa in or- der to embellish for him the literary compositions. When Aśvaghoṣa came to Ki-pin (Kaśmīra), Kātyāyanīputra expounded the eight books [of the Jñānaprasthāna, VE] in succession.
