Journey through a powerful sutta from the Samyutta Nikaya, where we witness a profound exchange between the Buddha and a newly ordained monk grappling with a severe illness. As the monk confronts his increasing pain and anxiety, the Buddha's compassionate visit becomes a pivotal moment for transformation. Rather than simply seeking to alleviate the monk's physical suffering, the Buddha engages him in a thoughtful Socratic dialogue, guiding him to explore the teachings on impermanence and non-self—core principles of Buddhism that resonate deeply in our lives. Through a series of thought-provoking questions, the Buddha helps the monk realize that the senses and intellect, which he had previously regarded as integral to his identity, are transient and ultimately cannot be clung to as "self." This exploration leads the monk to a crucial insight: "Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation." As he begins to disassociate from his attachment to these impermanent phenomena, he finds a sense of dispassion that paves the way for liberation from mental suffering, independent of his physical condition.

In this third episode in the eight-part series, Michael explores the Buddha's teachings on transforming pain and uncovering truth. By exploring the parable of The City in the Samyutta Nikaya, Michael examines the Eightfold Path and the Four Noble Truths, emphasizing the importance of responding to suffering and dissatisfaction in our time.

Dans le sutra "Sermon du feu" (le "Āditta Sutta" dans le Samyutta Nikaya 35.28) le Bouddha parle de notre rapport aux perceptions sensorielles comme étant "en feu". Il veut nous mettre en garde contre une appropriation de ces perceptions comme étant "de moi" et "miennes" qui faussent complètement notre rapport au monde. Notre pratique consiste à apaiser ce feu des perceptions afin de mieux observer qui nous sommes et comment nous fonctionnons dans la vie. Enseignement donné au dojo de Halle le 19 mars 2023. ====================================================== In de "Vuur preek" soetra (de "Āditta Sutta" in de Samyutta Nikaya 35.28) spreekt de Boeddha over onze relatie tot zintuiglijke waarnemingen als zijnde "in vuur en vlam". Hij wil ons waarschuwen voor het toe-eigenen van deze waarnemingen als "van mij" en "mijn", wat onze relatie tot de wereld volledig verstoort. Onze beoefening bestaat uit het tot rust brengen van dit vuur van gewaarwordingen om beter te kunnen observeren wie we zijn en hoe we functioneren in het leven.

Rev Dhammabodhi (John Freese) provides a brief introduction to the Samyutta Nikaya (Connected Discourses) from the Pali Canon. Topics include how early Buddhism arose in Greater Magadha in northeast India separate from the Vedic culture or northwest India, how the Samyutta Nikaya may be the oldest collection of teachings in the Pali Canon, and how those teachings are an interconnected system of teachings on the Four Noble Truths from a yogic oral tradition. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downwiththedharma/message

Ajahn Brahm discusses sutta 12.70 from the Samyutta Nikaya, the collection of linked discourses: Susimaparibbājaka Sutta - The Wanderer Susima.  "The wanderer Susı̄ma fraudulently enters the Sangha so that the wanderers can learn the secret to the Buddha's fame and success. Hearing that some mendicants claimed to be perfected, Susīma approaches and asks them if they have developed psychic powers or the formless states, to which they say no. Perplexed, he asks the Buddha, who explains that awakening follows insight into the principles of impermanence and causality. Eventually Susı̄ma confesses his misdeed.", Sutta Central.

"The famous first discourse, taught at Varanasi to the group of five ascetics. It begins by rejecting the extremes of asceticism and indulgence and recommends the middle way of the eightfold path.

Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta ('Turning the Dharma Wheel') Sutra recitation and discussion by M.C. Owens Recorded March 1, 2022 From the Connected Discourses of the Buddha: A Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya by Bhikkhu Bodhi Sutta 45.11

Queste riflessioni sono sui cinque aggregati (khandha, in lingua Pāli), gli elementi in cui il Buddha enumera i componenti a cui ci attacchiamo per definire una persona con la sua personalità e il suo sé. Sono i seguenti rupa: forma (o immagine materiale, impressione)vedanā: sensazioni (senso di piacevole, spiacevole o neutro, ricevuto dalla forma)sañña: percezioni, riconoscimento dell'oggetto saṅkhāra: formazioni mentali, pensieri, emozio e più in genere le attività mentali o le formazioniviññāṇa: la coscienza snsoriale. E' un tema di cui il Buddha ha parlato spesso, come è dimostrato dal fatto che vi sono numerosi sutta che prendono a titolo i khandha. Nel testo del Samyutta Nikaya 22.48, il Buddha spiega così gli aggregati: A Savatthī. “Mendicanti, vi insegnerò i cinque aggregati e i cinque aggregati di presa. Ascoltate … E quali sono i cinque aggregati? Qualsiasi tipo di forma: passata, futura o presente; interna o esterna; grossolana o fine; inferiore o superiore; lontana o vicina: questo è chiamato l'aggregato della forma. Qualsiasi tipo di sensazione… Qualsiasi tipo di percezione… Qualsiasi tipo di scelta… Qualsiasi tipo di coscienza: passata, futura o presente; interna o esterna; grossolana o fine; inferiore o superiore; lontana o vicina: questo è chiamato l'aggregato della coscienza. Questi sono chiamati i cinque aggregati. E quali sono i cinque aggregati di attaccamento? Qualsiasi tipo di forma: passata, futura o presente; interna o esterna; grossolana o fine; inferiore o superiore; lontana o vicina, che è accompagnata da contaminazioni ed è incline ad essere afferrata: questo è chiamato l'aggregato della forma connesso con l'attaccamento. Qualsiasi tipo di sensazione… Qualsiasi tipo di percezione… Qualsiasi tipo di scelta… Qualsiasi tipo di coscienza: passata, futura o presente; interna o esterna; grossolano o fine; inferiore o superiore; lontana o vicina, che è accompagnata da contaminazioni ed è incline ad essere afferrata: questo è chiamato l'aggregato di coscienza connesso con l'attaccamento. Questi sono chiamati i cinque aggregati di presa”.Khandasutta, SN 22.48 Nel Khandasutta in SN 25.10 il Buddha riporta come  "la forma è impermanente, soggetta a svanire e al cambiamento" e analogamente le sensazioni, le percezioni, le formazioni mentali e la coscienza. Ma è nel Khandhasutta in SN 27.10 che il Buddha indica perché bisogna conoscere a fondo i cinque aggregati: "Mendicanti, il desiderio e l'avidità per forma, sentimento, percezione, formazioni mentali o coscienza sono una corruzione della mente. Quando un mendicante ha abbandonato la corruzione mentale in questi cinque casi, la sua mente tende alla rinuncia. Una mente imbevuta di rinunzia è dichiarata capace di conoscere direttamente tutto ciò che può essere realizzato."Khandhasutta, SN 27.10 Buon ascolto!

Chi pratica la meditazione spesso si chiede come ci si può difendere dagli influssi negativi, da forme di violenza e aggressività che arrivano dall'esterno. La domanda è complessa, e la risposta del Buddha è piuttosto articolata, muovendo da un livello convenzionale, ad uno intermedio fino ad uno sopramondano A livello convenzionale, in cui consideriamo esistente la differenza tra "noi" e "gli altri", il Buddha consiglia di evitare chi non pratica il Dhamma, favorendo il contatto di chi invece lo fa. “Non frequentare gli stolti, ma vivere in compagnia dei saggi e onorare coloro che ne sono degni. Questa è la più grande felicità. Mangala Sutta, Snp 2.4 A livello sopramondano possiamo esplorare e conoscere il vuoto, vuoto da un senso di sé, per cui vediamo che non c'è differenza alcuna tra noi e gli altri, e addirittura che non c'è nulla che si possa realmente definire sé o altro. E' il livello che ci permette di rimanere stabili di fronte a qualsiasi sollecitudine esterna. Ma prima di arrivare a questo livello si potrà praticare come suggerisce il Buddha stesso in uno dei sutta più affascinanti, il sedaka sutta: La parabola degli acrobati (Sedaka Sutta, Samyutta Nikaya, Satipatthanasamyutta 47.19) Una volta il Beato dimorava tra i Sumbha in una città chiamata Sedaka. Lì il Beato si rivolse ai monaci, dicendo: C'era una volta un acrobata che dopo aver fissato a terra il suo palo di bambù disse alla sua asssistente Medakathalika: “Vieni, cara Medakathalika, arrampicati sul palo di bambù e sali sulle mie spalle”. “Sì maestro”, rispose Medakathalika e arrampicatasi sul palo montò sulle spalle del maestro. L'acrobata disse poi: “Tu bada a me Medakathalika, e io baderò a te. Proteggendoci a vicenda, dimostreremo le nostre abilità, guadagneremo qualcosa e scenderemo sani e salvi dal palo”. L'apprendista rispose. “Non è questo il modo migliore, maestro. Tu bada a te stesso, e io baderò a me. Così, se ciascuno protegge se stesso e bada a se stesso, dimostreremo le nostre abilità, guadagneremo qualcosa e scenderemo sani e salvi dal palo”.E' così che si fa, osservò il Beato, come dice l'apprendista. “Proteggerò me stesso”, con questa motivazione bisognerebbe praticare la meditazione di consapevolezza, satipatthana. “Proteggerò gli altri”, con questa motivazione bisognerebbe praticare satipatthana. Prendendoti cura di te stesso, ti prendi cura degli altri; prendendoti cura degli altri ti prendi cura di te stesso. E in che modo, monaci, si proteggono gli altri proteggendo se stessi? Con la pratica, lo sviluppo e la dedizione alla presenza mentale. E in che modo, monaci, si protegge se stessi proteggendo gli altri? Con la pazienza (khanti) la non violenza (avihimsa) la benevolenza amicizia (metta) e l'empatia (anuddayata)”.Sedaka Sutta, SN 47.19, Traduzione di Letizia Baglioni Buon ascolto!

The Path to Nibbana" is read by a text to speech voice by Amazon Web Services Polly AI. Just re-recorded What is Nibbana? The experience and how to achieve it is in this book. Awakening actually is possible! This new book definitely says yes, but only if you add back in the step that is left out of other methods. And only if you follow the method laid out by the Buddha in his earliest teachings. Nibbana can and does happen with practice - and in this book you will be shown the step by step progression through the eight aware jhanas (levels of understanding) to the final cessation and the appearing of the unconditioned (Nibbana); and the incredible joy that arises afterward. It will give you the instructions on how to practice - even at home at your own pace. New Edition with added chapter that dives deep into the Jhanas. " "Wow! Got your book. It is a major contribution. I already have used numerous quotes as references for my PhD thesis. I think it will really turn some heads around and help people immensely with their practice." M.J., VT "Beautifully written like one word flows into another ;written with such clarity..." from Amzn. review. This is a complete meditation handbook with all the instructions to achieve the goal and all of the levels of knowledge along the way. And now includes full text of "A Guide to Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM)" and the full text of "A Guide to Forgiveness Meditation." You will learn a different definition for Mindfulness that totally changes how you practice; and about a step in the text that has been left out of contemporary practices that is the key to the deepest levels of tranquility. Learn the basics of Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM) which is really the practice of Loving-kindness and the Brahmaviharas from the earliest Buddhist texts: The Majjhima Nikaya and the Samyutta Nikaya. This book will guide you from the beginning stages to the highest attainments laid out clearly and concisely. Many previous students’ experiences have been compiled and researched to create the basis for this book. Additionally, other popular methods are compared here against the suttas to see if they match the Buddha's teachings and lead you to the enlightenment. David Johnson wrote this book based on his insights as a senior student under Bhante Vimalaramsi, a 30-year monk living in the forests of Missouri. He came from a career in Silicon Valley to learn and study TWIM for the past seven years at the Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center near St. Louis. He currently teaches Online Retreats and authored “A Guide to Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation” along with Bhante, which is the detailed beginning instructions for TWIM Loving-kindness practice.

Pake Hall andlig buddistisk ledare från Göteborg håller dagens morgonandakt, under en vecka med röster från fem världsreligioner. För mig så är det precis som Buddha sa, jag behöver ställa mig utanför det som leder till att mina illusioner och oskickliga mönster förstärks och istället välja att ge mig tid i stillhet, tid med kärleksfulla och visa vänner, med modiga vänner som vågar välja en väg utanför vad vår destruktiva kultur påvisar. En klarhetens kultur.Jag vill ställa mig utanför så att jag hinner umgås med den ljumma vinden mot min kind, solblänket i ögat och vågorna som slår mot klipporna. Jag vill ställa mig utanför så att jag mäktar med att känna att ekarna i hagen och jag fundamentalt sett inte är två, men inte heller ett. Och uppleva att jag blir till med bofinkarnas tjattrande och tjippande. Jag vill ställa mig utanför så att jag förmår att ta in den här världen som den är, att känna hur världen skälver av smärta och strålar av skönhet.

Sokuzan reads from the Samyutta Nikaya, chapter 1 verse 69 in the "Book with Verses" as translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi to inspire today's talk: [A devata asks:] “By what is the world bound? By the removal of what is freed? What is it that one must forsake To cut off all bondage?” [The Buddha replies:] “By desire is the world bound; By the removal of desire it is freed. Desire is what one must forsake To cut off all bondage.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9JgKN1m4Kg&t=104s

Dharmachakrapravartana Sutra (Turning The Dharma Wheel) M. C. Owens Recorded at San Francisco Dharma Collective January 13, 2019 Part One of the Eight Schools of Buddhism Series The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, from the Samyutta Nikaya, the Connected discourses of the Buddha. The first teaching of the Buddha. “These two extremes should not be followed… What two? Indulgence in sensual pleasures from sensual objects, which is low, vulgar, the way of ordinary people, ignoble, and unbeneficial; and the indulgence in self-mortification, which is painful, ignoble and unbeneficial. Avoiding these two extremes, the Tathagata has realized the Middle Path, which gives rise to vision and knowledge, leading to tranquility and to insight, to enlightenment, to Nirvana.”

How the consciousness enters into nature and suffering, and how to change it through practical work. Includes an explanation of Parikalpita, Paratantra, and Parinishpanna (from Yogachara Buddhism). Read the lecture transcription. Course Description: More than 2,500 years ago, a man decided to find out why there is suffering, and how to overcome it. He succeeded, and became known as "The Buddha," which means, "One who is awake." Since then, there have emerged many variations and interpretations of what he taught, with some believing that his teachings were something he invented or created on his own. Contrary to this belief, he said, "I have seen an ancient path, an ancient road traversed by the rightly enlightened ones of former times. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road? It is just this noble eight-fold path." - Buddha Shakyamuni, Samyutta Nikaya ii.106 Therefore, his knowledge — what in Greek is called Gnosis — existed before he did, and he only taught what he understood of that ancient knowledge. This course examines Gnosis through the lens of the Buddhist Dharma. These lectures were originally given live and unscripted on Gnostic Radio.
