Now at the university though we cannot give the monastic kind of training to the students, the need of the time is -a very strong foundation of sound mind and body, facing the stress and challenges of the life. There is necessity of Pali learning for a long time from early age which few schools in Maharashtra are giving, but not near Mumbai. Mumbai University has only one college which satisfies the need of Pali learning at the undergraduate and graduate level those too only three papers in Pali. The interest in the study of Pali language and literature is on the rise.

  • Friend in Buddhist Perspective: the Benefit of Social Welfare
    Friend In Buddhist Perspective: The Benefit of Social Welfare Sitthiporn Khetjoi[a]* [a] Mahamakut Buddhist University,Isan Campus, Thailand. *Author for coresspondence email; [email protected] [Abstract] This article has the objective to describe about the nature of good and bad friend, the characteristics of a good and bad friend, how to associate with a good friend, how to avoid a bad friend, what the benefit of good friendship based on the Buddha’s discourse. The help of good friend is necessary for the development of welfare because no one can live alone or isolate in the society. When he tries to make an effort for the development of his welfare, he absolutely needs the help of his good friends. He cannot get the development of his welfare without the help of his good friends. The reason is that human being is interrelated or inter-dependent on one another as well as welfare of human being. Similarly, friends need the mutual help of each other to develop their welfare in the society. Thus, the Buddha emphasizes the help of good friendship for the development of social welfare and social work. Keywords: Buddhism, Friend, Social Work, Social Welfare.

The word ‘Mitta’ is defined in the commentary as follow: “Mitteyantiti mitta, minantiti va mitta; sabbaguyhesu anto pakkhipantiti attho” meaning that ‘one is called ‘mitta’ because he is affectionate and loves his friend and he encloses in all that is hidden (Ashin Janakabhivamsa, 1995:73).

  • Dr. Ong Tien Kwan
    DR. ONG TIEN KWAN Befriending the Dhamma This booklet is a compilation of a series of weekly sutta discussions held at Sungai Long Buddhist Society from mid-April 2014 to end October 2014, facilitated by Dr. Ong Tien Kwan. CONTENT Introduction Saddha Dana Sila Samadhi Panna Miscellaneous Topics INTRODUCTION Befriending the Dhamma Dr. Ong Tien Kwan Introduction Those who are serious in practising the teachings of the Buddha must remember the advice of all the Buddhas: Avoid evils Do good Purify the mind It is not enough to fulfill just the first two. In fact, the most important of these three advice is the third one – purify the mind. We may start our practice gradually, from the ground up so to speak, with the coarsest of tasks, which is to avoid evils, and slowly build upward towards doing good, but we must not stop here or our practice will fall short. In fact, the first two are simply the foundation work for the third advice, that is, the purification of the mind. Right Understanding (samma ditthi) To be able to practise well requires not just the doing part (actions) but also the understanding part, thus, the emphasis on the right understanding (right view) of the Buddha’s teachings. There are many ways to gain right understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. You may: 1. Listen to the dhamma, e.g. dhamma talks, dhamma discussions, formal dhamma classes, dhamma debates, etc. 2. Read the suttas, preferably from the Nikayas. 3. Teach the dhamma 4. Personal insights from meditation For our purpose in gaining right understanding, we have chosen to conduct regular dhamma discussions on selected suttas at our centre.

    Cult Med Psychiatry (2018) 42:315–349 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11013-017-9563-6 ORIGINAL PAPER The Cultural Epigenesis of Gender-Based Violence in Cambodia: Local and Buddhist Perspectives Maurice Eisenbruch1,2 Published online: 16 January 2018 © The Author(s) 2018. This article is an open access publication Abstract Almost one in four women in Cambodia is a victim of physical, emotional or sexual violence. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ways in which Cambodians see its causes and effects and to identify and analyse the cultural forces that underpin and shape its landscape. An ethnographic study was carried out with 102 perpetrators and survivors of emotional, physical and sexual violence against women and 228 key informants from the Buddhist and healing sectors. Their views and experiences of it were recorded—the popular idioms expressed and the symptoms of distress experienced by survivors and perpetrators. From these results, the eight cultural forces, or cultural attractors, that are seen to propel a person to violence were identified. Violence stemmed from blighted endowment, or ‘bad building’ (sɑmnaaŋ mɨnlʔɑɑ) determined by deeds in a previous life (kam). Children with a vicious character (kmeeŋ kaac or doṣa-carita) might grow to be abusers, and particular birthmarks on boys were thought to be portents. Krʊəh, or mishap, especially when a female’s horoscope predicted a zodiac house on the descent (riesəy), explained vulnerability to violence and its timing. Astrological incompatibility (kuu kam) was a risk factor. Lust, anger and ignorance, the ‘Triple Poison’, fuelled it. ‘Entering the road to ruin’ (apāyamuk), including alcohol abuse, womanising and gam- bling, triggered it.

  • Ways of Enjoying Your Wealth © Piya Tan 2008 WAYS of ENJOYING YOUR WEALTH by Piya Tan
    Ways of Enjoying Your Wealth © Piya Tan 2008 WAYS OF ENJOYING YOUR WEALTH by Piya Tan 1 Who should enjoy wealth A monastic who in involved with money is like a small boat with a leak, but money is what money buys (things, services, pleasure, etc). Soon, there are many leaks in the boat. Some claim that money is only a “small rule.” But it is nevertheless still a rule, otherwise the Buddha would not have introduced it. This “small rule” prevents a small leak in the boat. If monastics continue to be super-wealthy and live good lives, then the authorities might start to tax them. Then what is the difference between the serious, hard-working, lay practitioner and a comfortable moneyed monastic? A monastic who wants to deal with money should de-robe and work as a lay Dharma worker, where he would be just even more effective (using his management skills, doing social work, etc), if he is not attached to a uniform and prestige. Lay Buddhists, however, can and should enjoy all the wealth they want, but in a Dharma-inspired, meritorious and wholesome way. 2 How to plan your finances In the Adiya Sutta (A 5.41 http://dharmafarer.googlepages.com/2.1AdiyaSa5.41piya.pdf), the Buddha advises us concerning our finances in this way: He divides his wealth into four: One part he should enjoys, With two he invests in his work, And the fourth he should save Should there be any misfortune. In other words, we should “enjoy” the first quarter (25%) of our income or wealth, that is, bring joy or satisfaction to our daily living; half (50%) should be usefully invested; and the last quarter (25%) should be saved.

  • Buddhist Tolerance As an Effective Way to PERCEIVE the Other/Otherness
    Religious Studies Review, No. 02-2010 45 Buddhist tolerance as an effective way TO PERCEIVE the Other/Otherness Hoµng ThÞ Th¬ (*) Abstract: Tolerance had been a question of humanity discussed both in the West and the East in ancient time and has been continued in modern time when we need to find a sustainable solution for social or religious differences and even conflicts. On a certain extent, Buddhist tolerance should be considered as a really open way, which has operated successfully and peacefully through Buddhist history of adaptation and adoption in various countries and nations, especially from ethical and religious perspectives. The author hopes that a research on Buddhist tolerance will be a contribution to the answer on perceiving the other/otherness through studying Buddhist history of India and Vietnam. Further, it also can contribute some scientific foundations for the policy maker concerning the role and abilities of religions in general and religious tolerance in particular in process of globalization. ***** 1. INTRODUCTION At present, under the influence of modernization, industrialization, and specially economic globalization many problems of the value, belief, custom have raised and challenged the common life of people in many nations, not except in Vietnam. They have been continued as conflicts ideologically and politically and can not be resolved by modern technique and high standard of life. On the contrary, they are just the consequences caused by them and even further deepened by them. So that, in global context, we need a new way to resolve these modern problems and challenges for a sustainable development to grow without dissolution, without destroying our own characteristics and identity, as well as the others’.
