『身体の苦しみの手放しかた:ナンディウィサーラ経』 RELEASING THE REBIRTH BODY (YĀTRĀ): A GUIDE TO BUDDHIST SOTERIOLOGY (JAPANESE)

  CELEBRATE MY NEW BOOK RELEASE! 『身体の苦しみの手放しかた:ナンディウィサーラ経』 RELEASING THE REBIRTH BODY (YĀTRĀ): A GUIDE TO BUDDHIST SOTERIOLOGY (JAPANESE) Released on January 16th, 2021 Dear Friends, I’m excited to announce that my ninth Japanese book 『身体の苦しみの手放しかた:ナンディウィサーラ経』Releasing the Rebirth Body (yātrā): A Guide to Buddhist Soteriology,” (Japanese) was published on Amazon today, January 16th, 2021. An impeccable Japanese translation was provided by the esteemed author, Yoshiko. This book provides a lucid explanation of how to end saṃsāra by releasing the aimless process of rebirth body, which is also the main purpose of Buddhist teachings. We can only prevent the body from being reborn by properly ending the causal process of rebirth. The devout Hindus traditionally believe that what is traversed is an independent saṃsāric body. However, we do not agree with this explanation because it may imply that what is experienced in every life is an eternal entity and remains unchanged. Buddhism denie...

Physical and Mental Sanitation (New Normal after Covid-19) | Guest Speaker | Bhante Dr. Gangodawila Chandima

  May you be well and happy!

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.

 

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

 

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

 

Give, even if you only have a little.

 

Monday Sutta Discussion Day 91 | Ten desirable things that are hard to get

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.

 

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

 

Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except yourself.

 

There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.

 

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

 

Happy Birthday to our beloved teacher, Bhante Dr. Gangodawila Chandima ! (December 08)

SELF-COMPASSION: HOW TO TAME YOUR INNER CRITIC AND AMPLIFY YOUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH

  CELEBRATE MY NEW BOOK RELEASE! SELF-COMPASSION: HOW TO TAME YOUR INNER CRITIC AND AMPLIFY YOUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH Released on December 5th, 2020 Dear Friends, I’m excited to announce that my latest book “SELF-COMPASSION: How to Tame Your Inner Critic and Amplify Your Spiritual Health” was published on Amazon.com today, December 5th, 2020. The fundamental teachings of philosophical Buddhism, both the Suttas and the Abhidhamma, are rich and indicative that people should look inward first before seeing outward. The practice of self-compassion signifies the beginning of this inner journey. Many people who seek material pursuits lack self-compassion and compassion for others. The material mentality can be competitive and promotes selfishness and the insight that the spiritual life can bring well-being is lost. Moreover, people who do not fully understand compassion for themselves and others naturally form violent and destructive views. When we practice self-compassion, it supports us to...

The wise never wish success by unethical means

A person who would not wish for success by unethical means, not for the sake of oneself, not for the sake of others, not with hopes for children, wealth, or kingdom, is a person of virtue, insight, and truth. -Śākyamuni Buddha Source: Dhammapada 6.9 Photo Credit: Ảnh minh họa. (Nguồn internet)
