Reading Dhamma Pada

1. In everything be thoughtful; in everything be mindful; in all things be earnest and bold.


2. This is the Buddhist Way of Life.
3. All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of your thoughts. If
a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness
follows him. Therefore pure thoughts are important.
4. Be not thoughtless, watch your thought! Draw yourself out of the evil way, like an elephant sunk in mud.
5. Let the wise man guard his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, very artful, and they rush whenever they list;
thoughts well-guarded bring happiness.
6. As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unreflecting mind.
7. As rain does not break through a well-thatched house, passion will not break through a well-reflecting mind.
8. This mind of mine went formerly wandering about as it liked, as it listed, as it pleased; but I shall now hold it in
thoroughly, as the Elder who holds the hook holds the furious elephant.
9. It is good to tame the mind, which is difficult to hold in and tightly, rushing wherever it listeth; a tamed mind brings
happiness.
10. Those who bridle their mind which travels far, will be free from the bonds of temptation.
11. If a man's faith is unsteady, if he does not know the true Dhamma, if his peace of mind is troubled, his knowledge
will never be perfect.
12. Whatever a hater may do to a hater, or an enemy to an enemy, a wrongly directed mind will do him greater
mischief.
13. Not a mother, not a father will do so much, nor any other relatives. as a well directed mind will do [for] us.

Five Ways Of Performing Dna - Part (2)


Thirdly, donating according to the timely need, such as offering robes at the
beginning of Vassa, offeringKahina robes at the end of Vassa, offering meals at the
daily suitable time, offering drinks in the afternoon, those who understand this, those
who are skillful at offering whatever is required at the necessary time;
their Kusala will come to fruition at their early ages. They will have plentiful of
money at their early youthful age; they can enjoy their wealth early too. The good
fortune comes at the age where they can do things with the full faculty of youth. They
have plenty of time to expand their wealth, and so, they can donate, they can support
the Ssana well to their hearts content. They can be successful at their Dhamma
missions. This is called Kla Dna, doing suitable Dna at the right time. Audience
here, you all have done that too, right? At mid day in hot summer time, you all might
have offered candle lights to Buddha. In wintertime, you might have offered water
bath to the Buddha, too. Doing remedial Dna, Tuesday born offering water bath
early in the morning at the Tuesday corner of the Cetiya. Lucky you do that to the
Buddha; if it were to human, I think the person would be trembling with cold! Do you
think it will be considered as Kla Dna? I do not think so. When the weather is hot,
offering cool air by waving a fan will be more appropriate, dont you think?
When Shwe Ceti Sayadaw went to India, when he reached the place where Buddha
passed away entering Parinibbna, he had tears in his eyes. He missed Buddha much.
As though Buddha were alive and there in his presence, as he would attend to the
Buddha, respectfully he offered kneading as massage therapy. He respectfully bent
down and paid homage to the Buddha. So, attending to the needs at the required time
is Kla Dna. This type of donor will reap benefits at the early age.
Some people got mansions, cars, three sets of television only when they were old and
senile, only when they were near their deathbed. One television is enough, isnt it?
Even if someone came and gave ten televisions, it is of no use. Hearing is not so good,
eyesight is not so clear, but you still want some fun despite of your aging, isnt it? May be, fun wanting has still not aged yet, has it?
They were told Buddha doesnt like it, the wasting of time with television. They replied that the television was for the children. But,
old grand fathers and old grand mothers were never far from the television. PhoneGyi (an appropriate form of self-expression used in
the place of I or me in Myanmar for monks) cannot understand that. Television must have so much attraction power. If they sit in
front of Buddha instead, imagine the amount of benefit they may have accumulated. It is pitiful. What those foreigners said could be
true. When Taung Pulu Sayadaw went to America on overseas mission about 30 years ago, he left behind one of his disciples, a
competent foreigner monk to teach Dhamma there for over a year. His American students inquired the monk whether television had
reached Burma. He told them that there began some trial introductions in the capital, it had not spread to all parts of the country yet.
They exclaimed that Oh, you all will be corrupted soon! Can we say that having television leads us to moral decline? It seems there
is progress, so much cars now, they are very hard to avoid. One devotee told me, there are so much cars that they have to wait two
traffic light changes to get pass a junction. That much development. But the foreigners said their country has already gone, our
country has started down the path of moral corruption. Things start from there. What gets corrupted? Moral characters get corrupted.
Children love that kind of education from television. Fighting, killing, they are very good with detailed simulations, detailed
descriptions of fights. I heard that if one gave lift to a stranger on the road, one would get robbed and be killed, his car would be
stolen. One devotee told me that people got killed for a necklace. Why not just take the necklace, leave the man alive? OK, that
subject is enough for now.
Let us get back to Kla Dna, such benefits. Even then, the fact that I want to remind you all, is - It is not as suitable, it is not as
sufficient to do all these Dna all day, wasting time this way. The best way would be to go to bed at night, building Buddha in your
heart. You all know how to build Buddha in your heart, right? How tall should the Cetiya be? 15 feet tall? The Cetiya taller than 15
feet is also possible. When the time for Buddha to enter Parinibbna was drawing nearer, Ashin nanda was much despondent.
Buddha knew (realized) that, and so he told Ashin nanda nanda, why are you so distressed? You have been looking after me for
over 20 years. It is not a small amount of Kusala. I have exhorted 84,000 numbers of Dhamma Khandha; I have established 84,000

- ()

Buddhas, the 84,000 Dhamma Vinayas (teachings of Buddha in its completeness). These 84,000 buddhas in the form of Dhamma
Vinaya , will be your counsel, will be your admonisher. Do not feel sad. Do not feel despondent. Be calm and composed. Cultivate
your meditation calmly and peacefully. You will come to comprehend the Dhamma that you have been longing for. Buddha made
preordainment of that event. Soon Buddha entered Parinibbna, and later the funeral pyre of the Buddha spontaneously burst into
flames. Whenever people saw Ashin nanda, as they were disappointed and unhappy, they surrounded Ashin nanda and asked,
Ashin nanda, where have you left the Buddha? How come we did not get to pay our respects to the Buddha? What have you done?
What has happened? People were engulfed with anguish. Ashin nanda had to pacify them. There was a forest Dev, who guarded
the forest that he went to meditate. The Dev scold him Your Venerable, do not be unmindful like this, you will never understand
Dhamma this way. But our Buddha had explained to Ashin nanda that he must not despair. All these 84,000 Dhamma Vinayas,
these 84,000 Dhamma Khandhas, all these 84,000 Buddhas were there to counsel him, there to teach him. Therefore, we all must
understand that Dhammas are Buddhas. Buddha, having understood Dhamma, that he had become Buddha. Since Buddha had passed
away, his teachings, the Dhammas stand in his stead as Buddha. Having comprehended whatever is needed to be comprehended, he
had become Buddha. So, our way of building Buddha in our heart indeed means to learn to understand whatever is there to
understand. Whenever Rpa arises, we must know that Rpa arises. By knowing whenever Citta arises, knowing every
time Nma arises, knowing every time feeling arises, we are building Buddha in our hearts a Dhamma Cetiya.

"Seeking Ultimate Peacefulness from the Ultimate Truths"


[A Simple definition of Vipassana Meditation]

Imagine anyone at your neighborhood who stays simple and ordinary way of life, and compare him or her with the one

who used to live by lies and cheating on others. Who would be a peaceful one? And to whom would you choose to make
a friend of you? Without doubt, the answer would be the first one.
In the same way, do think of any real TRUTH you knew, and keep yourself up staying with it by awareness and

concentrating on it while knowing it (as it is), then your mind would become sharpened, cool and calm, and peaceful.

If you don't know what is the TRUTH mentioned above, a good example to be given is "YOUR OWN BREATHS" which is
always with you whenever you breath in and out thro' your nostril while closing your mouth. There are many of such a
truths to be listed.

Would it be acceptable if we say -

It is true that the air goes in thro' the nostril.

It is true that the air goes out from the nostril.

We can say the existance of the breaths is really true "NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH"
What we need to do is -to be aware of the breaths and being mindful on it only.The longer you can stay with the TRUTH
with awareness and mindfulness on it then the better your mind would get to a peaceful state.

This technique or method is called or defined as "Meditation" which you might have known and heard many times. To
name it more precisely and correctly, it is called "Samahta Meditation" in the terms of Buddha's Teaching.

This is actually the basic concept of how Buddhists get a peacful, purified, and concentrated mind in practical way. The
objective of the practice of the Buddhist's meditation is to seek the ultimate truthsand ultimate peacefulness.
When it comes to seeking the ULTIMATE TRUTHS, and ULTIMATE PEACEFULNES then it is
called "VIPASSANA MEDITATION"

The Choice

Happiness of the -shall we say -- outward life.


Having what you desire,
living as you wish.
Wealth, fame and power
wit, strength or beauty,
All at your pleasure
and you basking in glory.

Happiness of the -shall we say -- inward life.


Where contentment is wealth
and love is beauty.
Where wisdom is power

- ()

28
and tolerance is strength.
All that you nurture
to live in harmony.

Between happiness of the two,


material and spiritual.
If asked to choose
which
would you rather lose?
