Lately, my own practice is moving more and more into the monastic world. As I teach out of that nourishment, I find people hungry for the traditional, solid forms of the Dharma. I see people's lives changing when they engage in these forms. Certainly, as I deepen my own Sutta study, I find the traditional ideas so helpful it encourages me to delve further. In this, I am learning how to ride the edge of a question, instead of reaching for answers. When I let the question hang there, as a livi ...

Aí Sim! No budismo o conceito de Amor-Bondade é muito caro. Entende-se que a bondade amorosa é a forma perfeita de se relacionar com todos os outros seres que nos cercam. Mais do que meramente compaixão, esse é um atributo ativo que pode ser empregue em qualquer circunstância em que se esteja. Mas, enquanto alguém que pratica a bondade amorosa enxe…

When cultivating bhāvanā (meditation), naturally we have to be mindful of and focussed upon our meditation object; for instance 'Buddho', or the breath, or mettā; and so on...

Bhante Jinaratana explains how we can starve the 5 hindrances ('anāhāra pañca-nīvaraṇa') in order to gradually weaken and overcome their obstructive influence on our mental development. Like all sankhāras, the five hindrances are conditioned, i.e. they depend on some form of nutriment for their existence. If we reduce the nutriment that's feeding t…

It grew from a conviction that people with an interest in religion should not remain imprisoned withi…

After the meditation session, Ajahn Dhammasiha offers reflections on the realationship of Samatha/Samādhi (Calmness/Concentration) & Vipassana (Insight).

It all began in late 2008, amidst Abhinav Das' GATE exam. In a pivotal moment of realization, he abandoned the exam midway, recognizing that pursuing a master's degree wasn't his true calling.

Right before the Buddha’s enlightenment, a single memory from his childhood apparently not only led him to nirvana, but to the profound teachings of the Middle Way – the whole thing.
