POPULARITY
Selected excerpts of a teaching given by Ajahn Chah at the request of one of his students whose mother was on her deathbed. The student had expected just a short message for his mother, but instead Ajahn Chah gave this extended talk of the Dhamma of profound wisdom, compassion and encouragement for the mother and the whole family. Ajahn Chah was a Thai Buddhist monk and meditation Master. He was an influential teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition. He was reputed to be an Arahant.
An arahant is a 'Perfected One', someone who has completed the Buddhist training and has realised the way life truly is. As such, they have accomplished the one true goal of this precious human life. They are free from all mental pollutions caused by delusion and are at peace. This talk describes a little of the way such individuals see life, some of the qualities needed to come to this same understanding and why arahants are worthy of the greatest reverence and honour. Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquiliity. This talk was given in December 2009.
In this talk, Ajahn Nisabho speaks to the Mahāyāna critique of the Theravāda arahant ideal as selfish, questioning the dichotomy and pointing back to present-moment awareness of what good practice entails for each of us.

Daniel Ingram, MD is a meditation master (and self-described Arahant, meaning one who has fully awakened) with decades of experience training and teaching worldwide. On this episode we discussed the mission of the EPRC, why it's important, and I ask Elon Musk to pony up some cash for the cause. The Mission of the EPRC What many might call “spiritual”, “mystical”, “energetic”, etc. experiences and effects, we refer to as emergent phenomena. We refer to practices designed to lead to emergent phenomena, such as meditation, psychedelics, yoga, prayer, etc., as emergent practices. As emergent practices continue to scale up in society, our aim is to give healthcare systems, mental health providers, and those who are helping to teach and promote various practices the information they need to make better decisions about how to both promote the benefits of these practices and manage the different effects that they can produce. The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium's mission is to use ontologically agnostic, multidisciplinary, first-person, psychometric, neurophenomenological, biochemical, and clinical scientific methods to conduct studies on emergent practices and phenomena to generate clinically relevant information that can add value to practitioners, patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems. By finding the skillful overlap of science, spirituality, religion, clinical medicine, and mental health perspectives, we can generate outcomes that are as beneficial as possible for all concerned. the EPRC Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha

A family has come to share merits with their mother/grandmother/great-grandmother, who they lost a few days ago, at the age of 96 years. In the Dhamma discussion, Ajahn Dhammasiha explains that 'Letting Go' in the way the Buddha actually meant it differs redically from letting go out or heedlessness, negligence and 'I just can't bother'. Often we feel like there's something wrong with letting go, because we may only be familiar with letting go based on carelessness and neglect. For example, it would be outright cruel to let go of a close loved one in the sense of quickly completely forgetting about them. However, this is not what happens when we let go based on widom and insight into impermanence. The Buddha actually stongly encouraged to remember past relatives. He considered it a duty to share good karma with them regularly. Even an Arahant, who has completely let go of all attachments, still has all the wholesome emotions. Only the defilements of greed, hatred, delusion and so on are abandoned. Wholesome emotions like loving kindness, compassion, gratitude, respect, rejoicing in goodness, and so on, are still there, and are even reaching their highest potential, once they are no longer impeded by the defilements. For example the Buddha himself: Although he had zero attachments to anyone or anything after the experience of Sambodhi, he was actually better and more effective in looking after his relative than we can ever hope for. He succeeded in guiding basically all close relatives, and many of the more distant relatives, to freedom from death and suffering. Have we been able to do anything like that for our relative, who we are attached to? Therefore, we should never fear letting go based on wisdom, as we will be even better in practising kindness and compassion to loved ones and all beings without attachment!

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. Role models play an important part in all of our lives, whether we seek them out or not. And whether we walk the Buddhist Path or not, they can have the power to shape the direction we take and the ability to influence the decisions that follow on from there. For Buddhist practitioners, the Buddha is our most eminent role model, teacher and the Perfectly Enlightened One. And there are also many noble and great disciples of the Buddha. In this session we delve into the story of Venerable Kumārakassapa Thera, who was born to a young bhikkhuni. After being brought up under the care of King Pasenadī of Kosala, he took novice ordination at seven years old. Later on, after taking full ordination, he was given a riddle from a non-returner deity from the Pure Abodes and asked the Buddha to explain its meaning and instruction on how to contemplate it (Vammika Sutta, MN 23). He subsequently realised the fruit of arahantship by contemplating it and penetrating the Dhamma. We will study the Vammika Sutta (MN 23) in an upcoming Dhamma session. Some of the suttas referred to in this Dhamma talk: — Mahākhandhaka (Kd 1) — Etadaggavagga (AN 1.217) — Vammika Sutta (MN 23) — Pāyāsi Sutta (DN 23) — Nigrodhamigajātaka (Ja 12) — Kumārakassapattheraapadāna (Tha Ap 537) — Kumārakassapattheragāthā (Thag 2.41) — (Uttara) Pāyāsivimānavatthu (Vv 74 or Vv 6.1) — Kumārakassapamātuttherivatthu (Dhp 160) In learning about such noble beings, we can delight in their lives and accomplishments; recognise the importance of seeing them as worthy role models; and use it as inspiration towards progress on the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path.

In this session, Ajahn Nisabho speaks about the figures of the Bodhisattva and Arahant as presented in different traditions, and whether or not the two ideals can harmonize.
On Magha Puja, the full moon in March, 1,250 Arahant disciples spontaneously gathered around the Buddha in the Bamboo Grove Monastery in Rājagaha. The Buddha then recited the 'Ovadapāṭimokka', a concise summary of his teaching and practice leading to awakening. The second verse in this poem of only 16 lines starts with: "Khantī paramam tapo titikkhā..." Usually translated as 'Enduring patience is the supreme ascetic practice'. To emphasize the amazing power patience has in wearing away our 'kilesā' (= mental defilements of greed, hatred and delusion), Ajahn Dhammasiha here translates as 'Enduring patience is the greatest incinerator of defilements'. Whenever life is tough, difficult, rough, unfair, it's a chance for us to develop khantī, patience. And we should never underestimate how much we strengthen our character each time we patiently endure, and how much we undermine the kileasā. Ajahn Chah always emphasized the importance of 'Ot Ton' = Patient Endurance a lot in his style of training.

On Magha Puja Full Moon, in the first year after the Buddha's supreme awakening, 1,250 of his most outstanding Arahant discpiles gathered in a spontaneous assembly around the Buddha in the Bamboo Grave Monastery at Rajagaha. The Buddha then recited the 'Ovādapāṭimokkha' to them. In just 16 lines of beautiful poetry, the Buddha summarized the most essential points or his teaching and the practice meditative practice leading to Nibbāna: "Abstain from any evil deed accomplish what is good and true, And fully purify your mind - That is what all the Buddhas teach. Enduring patience is the best of all ascetic practices; The best of everything at all is called Nibbāna by the sage. If you cause harm to anyone you can't be called a genuine monk! Refrain from harming and abuse, and strictly keep the Buddha's rules; Be moderate when taking food, and dwell alone in solitude devoted to the Higher Mind - That is what all the Buddhas teach." In his Dhamma Talk, Ajahn Dhammasiha particularly emphasizes the central importance of non-violence. Total harmlessness, not to intentionally cause any harm or hurt by action or speech to any being is central to our Dhamma practice. In particular, we have to protect our precepts, with the first one on not killing the very foundation of harmlessness. Unfortunately, this precept is being severely undermined in our modern society, even in regard to humans, in three areas: "Euthansia" - The Buddha NEVER endorsed, encouraged or condoned the killing of humans in any way. Active euthanasia is breaking the first precept and can have severe karmic consequences Abortion - The Buddha did consider a fetus/embryo/unborn child to be a human being, and causing an abortion is breaking the first precept with all potential severe karmic consequences War - War propaganda tries to convince us that the 'enemy' is so evil, that killing them is actually a 'good' thing. The Buddha NEVER endorsed, encouraged or condoned the killing of anyone, however 'evil'. He encouraged mettā, Loving Kindness, even to our 'enemies' (Of course, mettā doesn't mean we consent or agree with any unwholesome actions. We do oppose them and try our level best to prevent them. But not by killing, and not based on emotions of hatred) We have to protect our mind not to get deluded in above three areas, that we can continue our unwavering commitment to harmlessness, and maintain the first precept uncompromised.

Ajahn Dhammasiha reminds us that walking meditation is not in any way inferior to sitting meditation. Monks have realized full awakening while walking meditation, and some have even attained Parinibbāna (Nibbāna element without remainder at the 'Death' of an Arahant) while walking. The Buddha practised walking meditation a lot, and he walked over the whole central Ganges valley throughout his life out of compassion to spread the Dhamma. We all should practise walking meditation regularly, and if we so prefer, we can use walking as the main posture for our meditation. Ajahn explains about the ideal length of the walking meditation path (20 to 25 paces), the best direction (roughly east-west), and encourages us to walk naturally, not in extreme slow motion. There are two basic options how to cultivate walking meditation, and we can choose either of them: Using the sensation of walking (e.g. feeling the feet touching the ground) as the meditation object Walking is simply a posture, like sitting, but we take any of the meditation objects the Buddha recommended and attend to it while walking. For instance 'Buddho', or Loving Kindness (Mettā), or Mindfulness of Breathing (Ānāpānasati). Our mind is quite capable to manage the walking activitiy in the background, so to speak, and to mainly focus on the meditation object at the same time. The Buddha himself mentioned five advantages of walking meditation: One gets trained in stamina and becomes able to walk long distances One gets trained in putting forth effort and to endure strenuous exertion One improves general health The food one ingests is properly digested Samādhi developed while walking does last a long time Anguttara Nikāya/Numerical Discourses, Fives, #29 More ab out Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage: https://www.dhammagiri.net/news Our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724 Our email Newsletter: https://tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive Our Podcasts on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0SHWfWEGkO8OAtSWNJlqyD Our Podcasts on Apple/itunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dhammagiri-buddhist-podcasts/id1534539834 .
Happiness is undoubtedly the most desirable state of being we all strive to achieve. Thus, every human being is continuously engaged in one experiment after the other in their own ways to experience new ways to attain fulfilling happiness and increase its intensity for a longer-lasting effect. Therefore, one of life's most rewarding endeavours has to be to spend time discovering, exploring and studying what the Buddha – the foremost authority on the mind, expounded on this topic.

Ajahn Dhammasiha shares the story of Angulimāla, the most infamous mass murderer ('terrorist') in the time of the Buddha. He had already killed 999 persons, and was wearing their thumb bones as a kind of macabre necklace, when the Buddha visited the forest that was his main haunt. Once he had noticed the Buddha, Angulimāla rushed after him, trying to catch up. However, the Buddha used his supreme psychic powers in such a way that it appeared as if he was walking slowly and gracefully, but still moving too fast for Angulimala to reach him. Exasperated, in the end Angulimāla cried out to the Buddha: "Stop, Ascetic!" The Buddha replied: "I have stopped, please stop yourself, too!" Puzzled, Angulimāla enquired what the Buddha meant. After all, he was too fast for him to catch up, so how could he have stopped? The Buddha explains that he has stopped harming any being, that he has completely stopped using any form of violence. This simple teaching had such a profound impact on Angulimāla that he took refuge in the Buddha, completely abandoned his violent lifestyle, and even asked for ordination as a monk. The Buddha granted him ordination, and practising with supreme commitment and determination, Angulimala later fully realized the Dhamma and became an Arahant. Ajahn points out that we often may feel hopeless, or not quite good enough, or have doubts and feeling of guilt about past mistakes - but compared to Angulimāla, whatever we have done wrong is probably much, much less serious. Therefore, if even such an extreme murderer could completely change his ways, it's certainly possible for us as well to overcome whatever bad things we may have done in the past!

Amoghavajra takes us back 2,500 years to the Kingdom of Magadha in Northern India to the birth of a boy called Kassapa. He grows up happily and as he gets older he becomes less and less worldly. Kassapa marries Bhadda who has equally renunciant tendancies. They both go forth together. Kassapa meets the Buddha, becomes his disciple and gains Enlightenment. He is known as a superb meditator and was foremost among the bhikkus for practising austerities. According to Amoghavajra's story, one of the teachings that the Buddha gave to Kassapa was to attend to whatever gladdens the heart. So, Amoghavajra asks us, what is it that gladdens your heart?

Daniel is an advanced meditator and controversially, a self-described Arahant, or one who has become fully "enlightened" in Buddhist terms. Daniel wrote Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book, widely regarded as one of the most complete meditation books ever written. In this book, Daniel lays out in very rational and practical terms the exact steps that can lead to the profound transformations he has attained. In this episode of Dharma Junkie, Daniel breaks down the Theravada stages of insight and gives his take on stream entry, Nibbana, and more.

This is a reading of a talk given to a group of lay practitioners on the topic of samadhi at Hampstead Vihara, London in the late 1970s. It is designed to be listened to as a guided meditation. The Pali/Sanskrit word samādhi, usually translated as “concentration,” is made up of three parts, a verbal root and two prefixes (sam+ā+dhi). The last part, dhi, is a noun form derived from the verbal root dhā, meaning “to put or place.” The prefix ā gives direction and suggests “placing upon,” and the prefix sam means “gathering or bringing together.” When combined and used in a Buddhist context, these elements add up to the sense of “unifying the mind and placing its awareness upon a particular object.” Traditional sources also emphasize that the mind focuses on a single (eka) point (agga), and “one-pointedness” (Pali, ekaggatā; Skt. ekāgratā) is another common way of defining samādhi (Andrew Olendzki). Ajahn Chah was a Thai Buddhist monk and meditation Master. He was an influential teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition. He was reputed to be an Arahant.

This is a reading of a series of questions that were put to Ajahn Chah by a group of monks in his monastery. Ajahn Chah was a Thai Buddhist monk and meditation Master. He was an influential teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition. He was reputed to be an Arahant.
Nang Kwak is a household deity in Thai folklore and it is believed that she can bring good fortune and attract business. This deity is commonly seen wearing a red-coloured dress and carrying a rice dish. Nang Kwak is an incarnation of Mae Po Sop, the Thai rice goddess and is also believed to be a version of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi.Where money and business are concerned, a certain charm that is dedicated to Nang Kwak can make the difference between a profitable and a losing venture. This is said to attract wealth and good fortune to most Thai businesses. Nang Kwak charm or figurine is usually placed on the counter of a restaurant, a shop, or on her own mini altar shelf. In Thai households, she is known to appear wherever she is needed to attract wealth and good fortune.Since she is considered a deity, many people in Thailand have a statue of her or a cloth poster of her in their home or shop. They also wear amulets around their neck to keep the blessings of Nang Kwak close at hand.Nang Kwak is usually depicted as a beautiful woman in a red dress with a golden crown on her head. Her right hand is raised in the Thai way of beckoning a customer, with the palm of the hand curved and pointing downwards. She is also known to hold a bag full of gold near her.The present image of Nang Kwak is an incarnation of the rice goddess known as Mae Po Sop but she does not wear the sheaf on her shoulder like the other rice goddesses. The iconography of Nang Kwak is based on the Hindu goddess Sri Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity. The position of her hand in present-day imagery is similar to the Japanese Maneki Neko beckoning cat.A man named Sujidtaprahma is believed to have lived with his wife in the Indian district of Sawadtii. He used a cart to bring their products to markets farther away and his daughter, Supawadii, would accompany them.When she heard a sermon given by Phra Gasabatera one day, Supawadii was suitably impressed and became a devotee. On seeing Supawadii's devotion, Gasabatera being an Arahant or “Elightened Saint”, blessed her so that she would have power to attract business, wealth, and prosperity. This led to her parents being extremely wealthy along with everyone who followed her.Following her death, people began worshipping her image. Her image was later changed to a modern day depiction of the Beckoning Lady. She became known as Nang Kwak or the Beckoning Lady, Kwak or “Gwak” meaning beckoning or waving.She is supposed to bring luck and prosperity to businessmen and traders who worship her.No place of business in Thailand is without a figurine or a representation of Nang Kwak in some form. It has become synonymous with places of business and good luck in modern times.Read about Nang Kwak at https://mythlok.com/nang-kwak/

Have you ever seen a stupa before? Or maybe just a photo? Stupas hold the relics of the Supreme Buddha or Arahant disciples of the Supreme Buddha. Usually these relics are small pieces of bone or hair, or sometimes teeth. Showing respect to these places is a very powerful way of collecting merit, isn't it. We learned all about that in the last programme. Well, how many of you have helped to build a stupa? This is a very rare opportunity in the world. In today's episode we'll learn about a young girl who showed respect to the relics by offering something you might not expect. Contents 6:29 Sermon 17: 58 Angulimala Paritta.

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
In this episode of Bangkok Podcast Metaphysics, Greg interviews our favorite guest, Phra Pandit, about notions of heaven and hell in Thai Buddhism. Phra Pandit begins by explaining the difference between reincarnation and rebirth. In Theravada Buddhism, there is not a belief in a constant, steady soul. Instead, life force, for lack of a better term, passes from one lifetime to another, like a flame from one candle to the next. In general, a person cannot remember his or her past lives, but a few, enlightened individuals can. Phra Pandit continues by explaining that a person can be reborn in this world, but may very well be reborn into a layer of heaven or hell, all determined by one’s build up of karmic merit or sin. He outlines what specific behaviors will result in someone moving ‘down’ or moving ‘up’ in the afterlife. Next, he discusses the role of angels or ‘devas’ in the system. The guys also touch on the topic of enlightenment, and Phra Pandit explains that an ‘Arahant’ is someone who has stepped out of the cycle of rebirth completely and is simply not reborn at all. We all have something to look forward to! And just for our patrons, the worst selfie ever taken by Greg with Phra Pandit at his temple. Double chins FTW! Don’t forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. And we’ll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

Dhamma Talk about Arahant Disciples of the Buddha. This Dhamma Talk was delivered in Hokkian Language
The FitMind Podcast: Mental Health, Neuroscience & Mindfulness Meditation
Daniel Ingram, M.D. is a meditation master (and self-described Arahant, meaning one who has fully awakened) with decades of experience training and teaching around the world. Daniel wrote Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book, widely regarded as one of the most complete meditation books ever written. In this book, Daniel lays out in very rational terms the exact series of steps that can lead to the profound transformations that he has attained. He also criticizes current western meditation as often “hiding the ball” about awakening and being too caught up in psychological material, rather than practical training. An emergency room physician, Daniel co-founded the Practical Dharma Movement, with the objective of “stripping away dogma and unhelpful taboos, having people share with others in ways that are down-to-earth, helpful, and pragmatic, and the vision that it can be done, rather than a dharma world that is mysterious, artificially hierarchical, dogmatic, and secretive.” When secular meditation is more mainstream and developed in the West, Daniel will someday be appreciated as a true genius when it comes to training and understanding the mind. In this episode, we discuss what it feels like to be in this awakened or self-actualized mental state, what's feasible for an everyday meditator in terms of meditation progress, more effortless Dzogchen and Mahamudra techniques, the evolution of meditation teaching, how to pragmatically navigate a meditation world that's full of dogma, and neuroscience studies being done at Harvard on Daniel's brain. If you're thrown off by the Buddhist terms that get thrown around in this episode, you can think of Buddhism as a meditation system for training the mind. In fact, we talk about the different frameworks for pragmatically understanding the mind in this podcast interview.

In the last show we learned about the value of associating with wise people.

In this sutta the Buddha analyses the thinking process of four different types of people, the untaught ordinary person, the Disciple in higher training the Arahant and the Tathagata. The sutta details the progression from perception and delight because of misunderstanding the true nature of perception to directly knowing, dispassion and release through full understanding.
Greetings Friends, This is a recording of the second session of our 2019 Becoming Buddha Immersion In The Dhamma Spring Retreat on May 17, 2019. This talk begins with the Arahant Sutta. In the Arahant Sutta the Buddha teaches that an Arahant, an awakened human being has recognized and abandoned the Five Clinging-Aggregates. The Five Clinging-Aggregates describe the ongoing personal experience of stress that follows from ignorance of Four Noble Truths. This second talk and our Sangha discussion is on The Paticca-Samuppada Sutta. This sutta teaches that the pervasive human condition of ignorance is the cause of all manner of greed, aversion, and ongoing deluded thinking. Everything the Buddha taught was taught in the context of Dependent Origination and Four Noble Truths. Information on our retreats is available at Becoming-Buddha.com.

The seventh chapter of the Dhammapada is the Buddha’s description of an arahant. An arahant is a person who has developed a profound level of concentration. From a well-concentrated mind, a mind resting in Jhana, a person is able to integrate the Eightfold Path as the framework for developing profound wisdom and true compassion and has recognized and abandoned greed, aversion, and deluded thinking. “The wise, the Arahant, like the earth itself, resents nothing, is resolute as a stone pillar in the Dhamma, their mind pure, concentrated, refined, is free of all worldly entanglements.” (Dhammapada 7) A related article is here: https://becoming-buddha.com/the-qualities-of-an-arahant-dhammapada-7/ An audio only version of this video is available at my podcast archive: https://becoming-buddha.com/becoming-buddha-podcast/ A video archive of our classes is available here: https://becoming-buddha.com/dhamma-stream-videos/ Here is the archive for all of my Dhamma articles and talks: https://becoming-buddha.com/dhamma-articles-and-talks-archive/ Thank You.
