Ajahn Dhammasiha responds to a question from the audience: What's the meaning of Anatta ( Not Self ) ? In particular, Ajahn reflects about the important distinction between Not Self (anatta), which the Buddha expounded very frequently, and No Self (natth'attā), which the Buddha actually never taught.

It's so important not to only look at all the bad things happening, or to be mostly focussed our own faults. Without denying negative events, we can discoved so much that's good, wholesome and admirable, both in ourselves and in others. If we only pay attention to the bad things, we feel miserable. If we notice and appreciate all that's good, we fill our lives with rejoicing, joy and muditā. Ajahn Dhammasiha also addresses questions about: 23:27 Meaning of 'psasāda' (confidence/faith)? 25:10 Is the desire to realize Nibbāna a 'good' desire? 29:20 Why didn't the Bodhisatta's first teacher didn't attain nibbāna themselves, as they had already realized very deep samādhi? 33:55 Anāpāṇasati (mindfulness of the breath) or Mettā (loving kindness) as meditation object? Related to the last question, Ajahn explains how to easily find any of our podcasts with guided meditations. Just enter 'Guided Meditation' in the search bar on the podcast page of our website, and all podcasts with guided meditations will show up. Or enter 'Loving Kindness', 'Ajahn Amaro', 'Sutta Exploration', or any other subject you're interested in, and all the relevant podcast will show up to listen to.

We sometimes find ourselves at a crossroads in life. Looking for a new direction, some are attracted to Buddha-Dhamma, with its promise of bliss, wisdom and enlightenment for those who practise it. The key to understanding is through developing mindfulness in all aspects of our lives. But this requires us to be willing to face our demons. By taking refuge in the Triple Gem - the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha - we find the inspiration, guidance and friendship to help us overcome all the obstacles in our path. Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquiliity. This talk was given in February 2009.

This special event, jointly organized by CSWR and HDS Buddhist Ministry Initiative, aimed to commemorate Dhamma Chakra Day and delved into the enduring legacy of Dr. Ambedkar. His peaceful, egalitarian, grassroots movement has left an indelible mark on Indian society and politics. The event showcased three speakers whose research has deepened our understanding of Buddhism's impact and potential in fostering equality and social justice in India. Speaker List: - Dr Ambedkar: Restructuring of Indian Society towards Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality - Prof S. K. Thorat, Chairman, Indian Institute of Dalit Studies - Dr. Raja Sekhar Vundru, "Buddhism and Emancipation of oppressed classes in India," author of Gandhi, Ambedkar and Patel - Chief Secretary, Haryana State, India. - Dr. William Edelglass, Director, Barre Centre for Buddhist Studies, author of "Equality, Solidarity, and Religion: On Ambedkar's Conversion" Buddhism made a significant comeback in India in October 1956 through a momentous mass conversion led by Dr. Ambedkar and his 500,000 followers, predominantly from the marginalized Untouchable communities. Despite enduring severe structural violence, Dr. Ambedkar eschewed the path of aggression, opting instead for the peaceful transformation of society. He believed that this transformation could only be achieved by embracing the teachings of Buddha-Dhamma. Presently, India boasts over 50 million Buddhists, many of whom found inspiration in Dr. Ambedkar. His conversion movement is a pivotal force, reshaping India's religious and social landscape to a degree not witnessed since the times of Buddha and Ashoka. This event took place on October 19, 2023.

We hope for "Good Luck" and are worried that we may end up "unlucky". However, if we truly have confidence in the Buddha Dhamma, we know that there is actually no such thing as good or bad luck, there's only the results of Karma. Nothing happens just by chance, it's always the outcome of our intentional action. Usually a combination of the Karma from actions a long time ago, even several liftimes ago, plus our very recent actions. In fact, the influence of our actions right now means that the law of Karma is not a fatalist teaching. Karma doesn't mean that our future is totally determined, because we have the freedom to choose our course of action right now. We can't change what we have done in the past, but we can change how we respond to the results of our actions here and now in the present. If we experience hardship due to the karmic results of past unwholesome actions, we have to courses of action open how to respond: We may feel grumpy and react with anger and retaliate, thus creating the karmic causes for more suffering in the future Or we may react with patient endurance, equanimity, forgiveness, loving kindness and compassion, thus breaking the unwholesome cycle and creating the karmic causes for future happiness Our Podcast on our own Dhammagiri Website, no need for any special app, just listen in any browser: https://www.dhammagiri.net/podcast More about 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 .

A reading for meditation of Ajahn Buddhadasa's teaching on the immanence of Nibbana - translated by Santikaro. Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu (Servant of the Buddha) went forth as a bhikkhu (Buddhist monk) in 1926, at the age of twenty. After a few years of study in Bangkok, which convinced him “purity is not to be found in the big city,” he was inspired to live intimately with nature in order to investigate Buddha-Dhamma in study and practice. Thus, he established Suan Mokkhabālārama (The Grove of the Power of Liberation) in 1932 near his hometown of Pum Riang (now in Chaiya District). Ajahn Buddhadāsa worked painstakingly to establish and explain the correct and essential principles of what he called “pristine Buddhism” or “the heart of Buddha-Dhamma,” that is, the original awakening realizations of Lord Buddha before it was buried under commentaries, ritualism, clerical politics, and the like. His work was based in extensive research of the Pāli texts (Canon and commentary), especially of Buddha's discourses (suttas), followed by personal experiment and practice with these teachings. He then taught whatever he could say truly quenches dukkha (dissatisfaction, distress, suffering). His goal was to produce a complete set of references for present and future research and practice. His approach was always scientific, straight-forward, and practical. (Extract of biography taken from Suan Mokkh website - https://www.suanmokkh.org/buddhadasa)
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. When we see the value of Buddha Dhamma and realise the benefits of developing the Noble Eightfold Path, we naturally want all of our loved ones to come towards Buddha Dhamma and realise the benefits too. We want them to find the happiness and safety that we have found. We can become overcome with desire or craving for our loved ones to value the Buddha's Teachings. However, it is not always easy to bring our loved ones towards Buddha Dhamma. They may value other things, may have very strong views, or they are simply not ready. In this session we delve into: — what is functional and dysfunctional behaviour on our part — what are some of the challenges and dangers for our loved ones — the importance of not (knowingly or unknowingly) sabotaging our loved ones' spiritual path — understanding some of the challenges we face when we are overly concerned for our loved ones, such as cultivating unwholesome or unskillful mental states, and maybe physical and verbal misconduct — the qualities of loving kindness, particularly "not yearning for families or groups" — the importance of patience — the Story of Kala, son of Anathapindika Other suttas that are mentioned directly or indirectly in this talk: — Anumāna Sutta (MN 15) — Khattiya Sutta (AN 6.52) — Dhammika Sutta (AN 6.54) — Samacittavagga (AN 2.32) — Tevijja Sutta (Iti 99) — Hāliddikāni Sutta (SN 22.3) — Sukhasomanassa Sutta (AN 6.78) — Candūpamā Sutta (SN 16.3) — Bhaddaka Sutta (AN 6.14) — Vitakka Sutta (Iti 80) — Saṅgīti Sutta (DN 33) — Suttavebhaṅgiya (Pe 9) — Vatthūpama Sutta (MN 7) — Karaniyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8) — Samāpattivagga (AN 2.165) — Anathapindikaputtakala Vatthu (Dhp 178) Bohoma pin to the people who requested this talk.

Often we struggle with doubts which teachings or meditation techniques are genuinely coming from the Buddha, and which ones may be later ideas and additions, or completely fake inventions. Fortunately, the Buddha himself has given us guidance on how to recognize the quality, the 'flavour', that proves to us that some teaching or method is real, authentic Buddha-Dhamma. He is actually advising his own step mother Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī, who was ordained by him as the first Bhikkhunī (Buddhist Nun). Shortly after her ordination she asks the Buddha for concise instructions how to practise. The Blessed One explains to her 8 criteria to identify dinky-di Dhamma - All teachings or techniques that are true Dhamma & Discipline & Dispensation of the Buddha will lead in the following direction: To dispassion ('viraga'), not to desire and lust To unfettering ('visaṃyoga'), not to entanglement To downsizing ('apacaya'), not to accumulation and hoarding To modesty ('appicchatā'), not to ambition To contentment ('santuṭṭhī'), not to discontent To solitude and seclusion ('paviveka'), not to socializing To energetic effort ('viriyārambha'), not to laziness To be undemanding/easy to be looked after ('subharatā'), not to be demanding, needy and 'high-maintenance' The quote can be found at: Anguttara Nikāya/Numerical Discourses, Book of Eights, #53 Translation by Ajahn Ṭhānissaro: https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/AN/AN8_53.html https://www.dhammagiri.net https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw https://tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive https://open.spotify.com/show/0SHWfWEGkO8OAtSWNJlqyD https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dhammagiri-buddhist-podcasts/id1534539834 .

"We ourselves have to be our own saviour, No one else can be our saviour. If we train ourselves well, We have found a Saviour that's hard to find." "Attā hi attano nātho, Ko hi nātho paro siyā. Attanā hi sudantena Nāthaṃ labhati dullabhaṃ" Dhammapada Verse #160 It is a hallmark of the Buddha Dhamma that it doesn't point to any external agency, any supreme god or deity, to effect deliverance for us. Instead, the Buddhas can only point out the path, but we have to walk it ourselves. This is perhaps a bit inconvenient, as we have to do the work ourselves. But on the other hand, it means that we do not depend on anyone outside either. Together with the guidance of the Buddha, and the support of Dhamma and Sangha, we have the full potential in ourselves to discipline and develop our mind until we attain release from all suffering.
The normal tendency of the unenlightened mind is constantly directed outwards into the external world. The Dhamma of the Buddha points us in the opposite direction, right back into the mind itself, right back to our conscious experience.It's not an easy task to work with the mind internally, and to fully purify and release it. But at least it's a possible task, it has been done by millions of human beings. On the other hand, trying to turn this external world here on earth into perfection would be mission impossible. Fortunately, as we are working on internal purification, we have a wholesome, beneficial influence on other beings as well. And as we're transforming our mind, the external environment will transform accordingly: We are reborn in a realm of existence that is equivalent to our internal qualities. If we have the heart of an angel, we will be reborn in a heavenly world ('Devaloka').www.dhammagiri.netwww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
