Podcasts about bahiya

In this episode, Padmasagara delves into the profound wisdom of the Bahiya Sutta. Join us as we explore the story of Bahiya, a revered figure yearning for enlightenment, and his transformative encounter with the Buddha. Padmasagara unpacks the Buddha's revolutionary teaching: to experience the world directly, free from the burden of concepts and labels. We'll discover how Bahiya grasped this truth, achieving liberation in that very moment.

103 BCE – 77 BCE  “And then there were none”  Agatha Christie With the murder of Khallata Naga, the Anuradhapuran Kingdom made the leap to regularizing regicide as if it was no more unusual than brushing one's teeth. Valagamba – the rightful heir and son of King Saddha Tissa – had first to defeat and kill Kammaharattaka, Khallata Naga's nemesis, before he himself could take what he clearly saw as his rightful place at the head of things. This he seems to have achieved with reasonable briskness, for by 103 BCE he was king.  And obviously one who felt uncommonly safe –one of his first acts was to adopt the general's son and marry his wife.But decades of royal misrule had set in train a reaping of deadly consequences.  Barely had the celebratory kiribath had time to be digested than all the hounds of hell slipped their leads. A rebellion broke out in Rohana.  A devastating drought began – a less than positive development in a land where the king was considered to have the power to cause rain.  The kingdom's preeminent port, Māhatittha (now Mantota, opposite Mannar) fell to Dravidian Tamil invaders.And at a battle at Kolambalaka, the hapless King Valagamba himself was defeated, racing from the battlefield in a chariot lightened by the (accidental?) exit of his wife, Queen Somadevi.In a 14 year tableau reminiscent of Agatha Christie's novel “Five Little Pigs” the grand Anuradhapura Kingdom was then manhandled to atrophy. Two of the Dravidians returned to India, leaving one of the remaining five, Pulahatta, to rule from 104-101 BCE, with history struggling to keep up.Pulahatta was killed by Bahiya, another of the five remaining Dravidians and head of the army, who was in turn murdered in 99 BCE by Panayamara, the third Dravidian who had been unwisely promoted to run the army.Proving those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it, Panayamara was assassinated in 92 BCE by his general, the fourth Dravidian, Pilayamara.  Seven months was all Pilayamara managed to last - before dying in skirmishes with rebels and passing the throne to the last Dravidian and army commander, Dathika who ruled until  his defeat in battle in 89 BCE.Despite losing his throne back in 103 BCE, the deposed king Valagamba had evaded capture, his many escapes and hiding places illuminating the map of Sri Lanka like a Catch-Me-If-You-Can treasure hunt.  His most famous hideaway was probably the Gunadaha Rajamaha Viharaya in Galagedera, just where the flat plains of the Anuradhapura Kingdom rise into the mountains that enfold the centre of the island, and with them, protection  and cover. From that time to the final routing of the invaders in 89 BCE, Valagamba carried out a guerrilla war that, month by month, won ascendency.Eventually grappling his way back to power in 89 BCE, Valagamba retook his crown through a series of small, successful incremental skirmishes - although, given the murderous incompetence of his Dravidian interlopers, it may have been like pushing on an open door.Valagamba's long and determined campaign to win back the throne he had earlier enjoyed just for a few months marks him out as one of the country's pluckiest rulers.  His defeat and killing of the upstart Dathika in 89 BCE, gave  him 12 years of real rule, and put the dynasty back at the centre of the state. Valagamba set to work building a monastery, stupa and more memorably converting the Dambulla caves in which he hid during his wilderness years, into the famous Rock Temple that exists today.Less adroitly, Valagamba managed to drive a wedge between the monks, his favouritism of one sect for another, setting in motion the island's first Buddhist schism.Despite this, it was under Valagamba's patronage that 30 miles north of Kandy 500 monks gathered at the Aluvihare Rock Temple to write down the precepts of Buddhism.It was to be momentous moment.  Until then Buddha's teachings had been passed on orally - but repeated Chola invasions from India left the monks fearful that his teachings would be lost. The challenge they had set themselves was immense. Firstly, they had to recite the doctrines. That would have taken several years. Then they had to agree on an acceptable version of the teachings before transcription. That must have taken even longer. Finally came the lengthy work of transcribing them, using ola leaves from talipot palms.The Pāli Canon became the standard scripture of Theravada Buddhism, written in the now extinct Pali language, an ancient Indian language, thought to be the language spoken by Buddha and used in Sri Lanka until the fifth century CE. Scholars argue (as they do) about how much of the work can be attributed to one person or to Buddha himself – but believers are largely free of such elaborate debates.  The Cannon lays out in clear and unambiguous terms the doctrines, and rules of conduct Buddhists should follow. It is made up of three parts:The Vinaya concerns itself mainly with the rules for monks and nuns. The Sutta Pitaka is the Cannon's practical heart, comprising around 10,000 teachings and poems of Buddha and his close companions that focus on the typical challenges of life.The Abhidhamma Piṭaka is where the higher teachings sit – the ones most focused around Enlightenment.Running to some 80,000 pages, the Pali Canon is roughly the size of a dozen Bibles. The cave temple in which it was created still exists, with numerous caverns and old inscriptions to view, despite parts of it having being destroyed in the 19 CE Matale Rebellion.The monks were probably still hard at work on The Pāli Canon when Valagamba died in 77 BCE, bringing his adopted son, Mahakuli Mahatissa to power.The illustration is from a painting by Rajni Perera, one of Sri Lanka's leading contemporary artists; based in Canada.The recording is read by David Swarbrick; and all disappointing, inexact and incomplete renderings of Sinhala and Tamil names are entirely of this own unintentional and apologetic making, for which your forgiveness is asked.The Ceylon Press currently produces three podcast shows.1.

In this dharma talk–taken from a Pragmatic Dharma Retreat–Kenneth Folk speaks about Bahiya, the best student in the history of the world, and about the worst student in the history of the world, none other than the Buddha himself. At the end, Kenneth leads this 4-part practice:1) Inventory - Ask yourself: is there any unpleasant tension in the body? "Yes, there's tension in my neck, forehead, arm pits, mid-back, right hip, etc."2) Release tension consciously3) Surrender fully to the experience4) Releasing & surrendering are last ditch efforts to control. Things are as they are, "in the sensed is only the sensed."Episode Links:Kenneth FolkBahiya SuttaMemorable Quotes:"Mara doesn't get to have an opinion about that." – Kenneth FolkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Teachings of the Buddha - Bāhiya Sutta - from the Udana 1.10 - translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. In this brief teaching, the Buddha taught Bahiya to put aside all views of self arising from confused and deluded thoughts based on clinging and craving. Bahiya was right to understand the immediacy of needing to awaken through the Dhamma. No one can know when sickness, aging and death will arise and this is why the Buddha gave these final instructions moments before he himself passed: “Impermanence and decay are relentless. Strive diligently for your own salvation.”

In the Sallatha Sutta, the Buddha uses the metaphor of being struck twice by arrows – once by common circumstance and again by grasping-after desire. It is by personalizing the common worldly circumstance of stress and disappointment by reaction rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths that the second arrow of desire brings additional pain and obsession.   Bahiya Sutta shows that Bahiya was skillful to understand the immediacy of needing to awaken through the Dhamma. No one can know when sickness, aging and death will arise and this is why the Buddha gave these final instructions moments before he himself passed: “Impermanence and decay are relentless.

Bahiya Sutta - Dispassion teaching to Bahiya read by Sarah Doering

The Buddha said to Bahiya of the Bark-cloth, “There is no hearer, just hearing; no seer just seeing.” Then Bahiya became fully enlightened. The nature of pure awareness explains how this happened and how we can awaken.This episode with Doug Kraft was recorded at a retreat given at the Auburn Mercy Center in November 2015.

The Sallatha Sutta teaches the arising and passing away of self-inflicted suffering rooted in ignorance and I-Making. The Bahiya Sutta teaches the culmination of the Buddha’s Dhamma and the practical experience of the cessation of ignorance of Four Noble Truths. “A well-instructed person who has developed the Heartwood Of The Dhamma understands the arising and passing away of all phenomena…” (Sallatha Sutta) “This is how you should train yourself. When for you there is in what is seen only the seen, in what is heard only the heard, in what is sensed only the sensed and in what is cognized only the cognized, then Bahiya there is no you in connection with what is seen, heard, sensed or cognized, there is no you there. When there is no you there, you are neither here nor there nor anywhere in-between.

Greetings Friends, This is a recording of the first session of our 2019 Becoming Buddha Immersion In The Dhamma Spring Retreat on May 16, 2019. Our retreat begins with the Bahiya Sutta and the simple teaching from the Buddha to an impatient Bahiya on recognizing and abandoning fabricated views of self rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths. The Nagara Sutta is the second talk in this introductory session. The Nagara Sutta is a most significant sutta as it is the Buddha’s description of his internal process of awakening and serves to frame and inform his entire Dhamma. This talk includes an introduction to our retreat, including the purpose of retreats that are focused on the Buddha’s Dhamma, a thirty-minute meditation session, and Sangha Q&A and discussion. Information on our retreats is available at Becoming-Buddha.com. If you find benefit from this talk, please consider a donation at Becoming-Buddha.com. Peace.

Dharma Talk by Noah Levine - 6/16/2014

Some take to settling the mind easily, and others have a harder time. For the latter, start by focusing on mental images (without the soundtrack) which everyone can do, then the soundtrack alone, and mental images with the soundtrack. Among the 4 types of mindfulness, the first is called single-pointed mindfulness which means being simultaneously aware of the stillness of your own awareness and the movement of thoughts. Such mindfulness is accessed through deep relaxation.
In post-meditation, maintain a peripheral awareness of the breath or the space of the mind in order to cast a shield against rumination. Meditation: The Buddha’s instructions to Bahiya, including the mentally perceived. 
1) “In the seen, let there be just the seen.” Let your eyes be open. Direct mindfulness to the visual field without any add-ons.
2) “In the heard, let there be just the heard.” Close your eyes. Direct mindfulness to the auditory field.
3) “In the felt, let there be just the felt.” Keeping your eyes closed, direct mindfulness to the space of the body and the tactile events arising therein, including sensations of the 4 elemensts and somatic feelings.
4) “In the mentally perceived, let there be just the mentally perceived.” Let your eyes be open. Through the process of elimination, what do you perceive not by way of the 5 senses? Let your body be like a mountain, and let you mind be like space. Deliberately generate a thought or an image, if needed. Meditation starts at 5:50

Meditation: mindfulness of the body. For each of the following senses—1) visual, 2) auditory, 3) tactile—engage in the following steps 1) direct mindfulness to the sense objects, 2) observe to see if they are unchanging, 3) direct mindfulness to space of sense field, 4) observe to see if it is unchanging. Teaching: Mindfulness of the body includes your own body, others’ bodies, all objects of the 5 senses. Alan recounts the story of the Buddha’s teaching to Bahiya, „In the seen, let there be just the seen...“ as a teaching on vipasyana where there is no atman here (in the self), there (in phenomena), nor in between. Bahiya realized arhatship as someone with sharp faculties. Sentient beings suffer due to the misapprehension of reality as characterized by the 3 marks of existence—1) impermanence, 2) suffering, and 3) non-self—and the 4 ends of impermanence—1) whatever is born, perishes, 2) whenever there is meeting, separation, 3) whatever is acquired, lost, and 4) whatever goes up, comes down. Mindfulness means more than just bare attention, as we need to bear in mind the insight of how phenomena really exist when engaging with reality. Only this will lead to (irreversible) transformation. Q1. What’s the difference between emptiness and dzogchen? Why go further when one has already realized emptiness?
Q2. In mindfulness of breathing, to exhale until there is nothing left, do we exhale naturally (there appears some air still there) or do we expel the air? Meditation starts at 5:30 (meditation was cut short because of some technical problems. Sorry!)

This weeks FBA Dharmabyte,and#8221;Bahiya and#8211; In the Seen Only the Seenand#8221; is a reading from the book and#8216;Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened Oneand#8217; (Quercus, 2011) by Vishvapani. The original talk, Imagining Gautama, is part of series launching the book from February 2011.

Dharma talk and meditation on Awareness of Awareness with the focus on the observer: Is there someone in there? The Bahiya (of the Garment) Sutra. Bahiya received a short discourse from the Buddha and immediately became an arhat. Bahiya was a merchant who had sailed the seas. On his eighth voyage, he was shipwrecked and washed ashore naked. He used the flotsam on the beach to cover himself and the local villagers saw him and thought he was a holy man. He became well-regarded as an arhat from whom the villagers often asked spiritual and mundane advice. Eventually Bahiya began to wonder if he was, indeed, an arhat. However a feminine diva appeared to him and said that he was not, but that he should go to the Buddha who could give him instructions. Bahiya walks a long way across India to find the Buddha and asks on three different occasions for instruction. The third time, the Buddha consents and gives the short discourse on selflessness. Bahiya becomes immediately liberated as an arhat. Three days later, he is gored by a cow and dies. There is no self/observer/agent inside, outside or in between. There is no correlate to a self in the brain. After the horrible period between about 1400 and 1750 which saw the bubonic plague and witch hunts, there was a rise in science and a mechanistic view of the world. This continues today despite enormous evidence to the contrary. 96% of the universe is metaphysical (i.e. it can’t be measured; physicists call it “black matter” and “black energy”). Everything we experience is appearances – non-physical (although there is a physical existence). What we see is the space of the mind. Being awake is dreaming with physical constraints. Dreaming is waking experience without physical constraints. The universe is enchanted with consciousness. Meditation starts at 57:44 No Question and Answer session this time.

Today’s FBA Podcast, is the second talk in a major new series of talks by Vishvapani to mark the launch of his new book: ‘Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened One’ (Quercus, 2011). In “Imagining Gautama”, originally subtitled, ‘Approaching The Buddha As An Historical And As A Mythic Figure’, Vishvapani traces his own relationship to the Buddha, from early family connections arising out of the turmoil of war to his experience of writing the book itself. In doing so he explores the tricky work of trying to engage with the imagination constrained and disciplined by the historical evidence. What emerges from his work with the Pali texts is a portrait of the Buddha and his world where it’s impossible to miss the vital sense of a man questing for a coherent vision of reality. Features a question-and-answer session. Talk given at the Cardiff Buddhist Centre, 2011. Check out our blog for more on this fascinating series.

In todayand#8217;s Dharmabyte Desire and Resolve, Srivati touches into the Five Vinyatas including Desire and Resolve illustrated in the story of Bahiya of the Bark Garment. Simply put, if we desire freedom we can liberate ourselves. Dharmabyte from the talk titled and#8220;Becoming a Citizen of the Presentand#8221; given on the Western Buddhist Order National Order Weekend, 2001

Todayand#8217;s Dharmabyte brings you a special reading of the story of Bahiya of the Bark Garment from the Pali Canon. Read to us by Srivati in the context of her talk and#8220;Becoming a Citizen of the Present.and#8221; Talk given to the Western Buddhist Order national Order weekend, 2001

In this thoughtful, sympathetic talk, “Becoming a Citizen of the Present”, Srivati expounds on the most delicate of tasks in any life – how to live in the present moment. Exploring the subtle aspects of past and present, of memory and expectation, we encounter impermanence as the touchstone of our experience through storytelling (Bahiya of the Bark Garment) and the practice of writing – especially poetry. A lovely set of challenges to become ‘citizens of the present’ and inhabit properly our own potential for change. Talk given to the Triratna (Western) Buddhist Order National Order Weekend, 2001

The minister there finally comes up with a good reason to prevent the wedding.  

If you have been subscribing to the podcast, you are probably very familiar with today's meditation. We practiced Settling the Mind in its Natural State by first coming in through different domains of experience, following to the instructions that the Buddha gave to the wandering ascetic Bahiya. I have linked to them directly in the past so I won't do so here, however Alan paraphrases them very clearly in the introduction. Alan also gives a brief recap on a point about non-conceptual experience from a few days ago, and details a "smooth gradient" from being fully-fledged psychotic to being a Buddha. Shortly thereafter, we go into the practice with the prospect of becoming sane, first with respect to our own minds, then in our dreams, and then in all experience, thus becoming lucid in the waking state.Enjoy!This beautiful local photo is from Daniela!

Today's practice, the second out of the four Awareness of Awareness methods that we cover in our cycle, is a very deep penetrating practice, encroaching upon VIpassyana territory. Alan starts with an introduction on the practice and its implications, relating it to the short discourse by the Buddha to the wandering ascetic Bahiya.After this sublime practice, the outro deals with the Buddhist middle way (warning about drawing false conclusions from this practice) and then with "I think, therefore I am" and its shortcomings, which include the reification of ourselves and of all objects (which gets us into tremendous knots and loops).Here is the brief Bahiya sutta, with the invaluable instructions that the Buddha gave Bahiya: http://bit.ly/aalIo8 [as Alan said, perhaps someone will read this and, not unlike popcorn, become free! if you become free, please send us an email! :) ]And this sunset was captured by Sara here at the Mind Centre!

Talk 5 in a series Doing Nothing is Hard Work, given by Prabhasvara. July 2007 The post Bahiya, the Final Frontier appeared first on Manchester Buddhist Centre.

The ascetic Bahiya receives a brief teaching from the Buddha about dispassion towards the senses ("In the seen will be merely what is seen...") and immediately becomes an arahant.Listen to this sutta read by Sarah Doering (08'39" 2.9 MB)Recorded by jtb on 21 Oct 2005 at the Forest Refuge, Barre, Massachusetts, USA.
