D. Lecture
THEREVADA BUDDHISM
Early Developments
Continental southeast Asia had formerly been home to a variety of Brahmanical and Buddhist
traditions including Mahayana and Vajrayana as well as Theravada, but between the 11th and 14th
centuries Theravada became the established religion of Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos.
Schisms and Sects

A series of reform and revival movements led to the establishment of national hierarchies and
multiple ordination lineages in the Theravada countries.
Missions and Expansion

Theravadins have incorporated several indigenous religious traditions as well as Mahayana,
Vajrayana, and Brahmanical elements into their practice of Buddhism.
Exploration and Conquest

Buddhism has become intimately tied to royal authority and national identity in Sri Lanka, Burma,
Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, sometimes in ways that are in tension with Buddhist values of detachment
and non-violence.
Modern Age
Since the 19th century, Theravada has included strong modernist movements emphasizing values
of rationalism, individualism, and ecumenism. Many contemporary leaders promote meditation, including
meditation by laypeople, and attempt to apply Buddhist principles to social and political action.
Beginnings
7
Theravada began as one of many schools of Buddhism that emerged in India in the centuries after
the Buddha's life. Theravada took on its distinctive form in Sri Lanka between the 3rd century B.C.E. and
the 6th century C.E.
Influences
The early Theravada tradition was shaped by debates with other religious groups, especially other
Buddhist schools, and by its relationship with its lay supporters.
Founders
Theravadins claim that their teachings and way of life were set out by the Buddha himself. Central
figures in establishing Theravada as a distinct tradition were the editors of the Pali canon and its
commentaries.
Sacred Texts
The Theravada scriptures are the Pali language recension of the Tipitaka, which consists of the
Vinaya, the rules governing monastic life; the Suttas, the teachings of the Buddha; and the Abhidhamma,
the systematic explanation of the Buddha's teachings.
Historical Perspectives
While some modern scholars accept traditional accounts of Theravada's beginnings as the school of
Buddhism most faithful to the Buddha's original teachings, others argue that there is little reliable
knowledge about the development of Theravada before the 5th and 6th centuries C.E.
8
WORSHIP AND OBSERVANCES

Sacred Time
The most auspicious times are the lifetimes of the Buddhas; second in auspiciousness are periods
like the present in which a Buddha's religion remains in the world. Fortnightly and annual holidays focus on
the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha.
Sacred Space
The sacred geography of the Buddha's north Indian homeland has been recreated in the Theravada
countries through shrines that house relics or images of the Buddha or mark events in the history of
Buddhism in those countries.
Rites and Ceremonies

Central components of Theravada rituals are preaching and chanting by monastics and giving
offerings by laypersons. Rituals include the fortnightly uposatha observance, annual holidays such as
Vesakha, and occasional rituals such as funerals and rites for the dead.
Worship and Devotion in Daily Life

Traditional daily observances for monastics include chanting, meditation, and observing the Vinaya.
Traditional daily observances for laity are to observe the five precepts and to offer food to monastics, and in
recent years meditation and devotional rituals have become regular practices for many laypersons.
Symbolism
The Buddha image, thupa, wheel of the Dhamma, monastic robes and tonsure, bo tree, Buddhist
flag, and other Theravada symbols represent Buddhism as a whole. Many of these symbols have
characteristic regional forms, but not distinctively pan-Theravada
BELIEFS AND DOCTRINES
Sacred Narratives
The most important Theravada stories are about the life of Gotama Buddha and his previous lives;
especially popular is the story of his life as Prince Vessantara. Popular religious stories also include
hagiographies, national histories, and tales of moral instruction.
Ultimate Reality and Divine Beings

In Theravada, nibbana is understood to be real and distinct from samsara. Although most
Theravadins believe in and worship deities, deities are understood to be inferior to the Buddha, who is a
perfected human being and not a god.
Human Nature and the Purpose of Existence

Because Theravadins do not believe in an omnipotent, benevolent deity, the existence of suffering
and evil is not a theological problem but a practical problem to be overcome through loving kindness and
pursuit of the Buddhist path.
Suffering and the Problem of Evil

The human condition is characterized by dissatisfaction, impermanence, and the lack of an
9
independently existing self. In the absence of a supreme deity, humans give purpose to their own lives, and
the highest purpose is to seek nibbana.
Afterlife and Salvation

Although nibbana is their ultimate goal, most Theravadins' aspiration for their next life is to have a
good rebirth as a human or deity. Many Theravadins hope to be reborn in the Tusita heaven and later to
reborn on earth at the time of Buddha Metteyya. The Buddha's first sermon after his enlightenment
centered on the Four Noble Truths, which are the foundation of Buddhism. One way to understand the
concept is to view the Truths as hypotheses, and Buddhism as the process of verifying those hypotheses,
or realizing the truth of the Truths.
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS

A common, sloppy rendering of the Truths tells us that life is suffering; suffering is caused by greed;
suffering ends when we stop being greedy; the way to do that is to follow something called the Eightfold
Path.
In a more formal setting, the Truths read:

The truth of suffering (dukkha)
The truth of the cause of suffering (samudaya)
The truth of the end of suffering (nirhodha)
The truth of the path that frees us from suffering (magga)
Quite often, people get hung up on "life is suffering" and decide Buddhism isn't for them. However, if
you take the time to appreciate what the Four Noble Truths are really about, everything else about
Buddhism will be much clearer. Let's look at them one at a time.
THE FIRST NOBLE TRUTH

The First Noble Truth is often translated as "life is suffering." This is not as dire as it sounds; it's
actually quite the opposite, which is why it can be confusing.
Much confusion is due to the English translation of the Pali/Sanskrit word dukkha as "suffering."
According to the Ven. Ajahn Sumedho, a Theravadin monk and scholar, the word actually means
"incapable of satisfying" or "not able to bear or withstand anything." Other scholars replace "suffering" with
"stressful."
Dukkha also refers to anything that is temporary, conditional, or compounded of other things. Even
something precious and enjoyable is dukkha because it will end.
Further, the Buddha was not saying that everything about life is relentlessly awful. In other sermons,
he spoke of many types of happiness, such as the happiness of family life. But as we look more closely at
dukkha, we see that it touches everything in our lives, including good fortune and happy times.
Among other things, the Buddha taught that the skandhas are dukkha. The skandhas are the
components of a living human being: form, senses, ideas, predilections, and consciousness. In other
words, the animated body you identify as yourself is dukkha because it is impermanent and it will eventually
perish.
THE SECOND NOBLE TRUTH

The Second Noble Truth teaches that the cause of suffering is greed or desire. The actual word
10
from the early scriptures is tanha, and this is more accurately translated as "thirst" or "craving."
We continually search for something outside ourselves to make us happy. But no matter how
successful we are, we never remain satisfied. The Second Truth is not telling us that we must give up
everything we love to find happiness. The real issue here is subtler; it's the attachment to what we desire
that gets us into trouble.
The Buddha taught that this thirst grows from ignorance of the self. We go through life grabbing one
thing after another to get a sense of security about ourselves. We attach not only to physical things but also
to ideas and opinions about ourselves and the world around us. Then we grow frustrated when the world
doesn't behave the way we think it should and our lives don't conform to our expectations.
Buddhist practice brings about a radical change in perspective. Our tendency to divide the universe
into "me" and "everything else" fades away. In time, the practitioner is better able to enjoy life's experiences
without judgment, bias, manipulation, or any of the other mental barriers we erect between ourselves and
what's real.
The Buddha's teachings on karma and rebirth are closely related to the Second Noble Truth.
THE THIRD NOBLE TRUTH

The Buddha's teachings on the Four Noble Truths are sometimes compared to a physician
diagnosing an illness and prescribing a treatment. The first truth tells us what the illness is and the second
truth tells us what causes the illness. The Third Noble Truth holds out hope for a cure.
The solution to dukkha is to stop clinging and attaching. But how do we do that? The fact is that it
cannot be accomplished by an act of will. It's impossible to just vow to yourself, from now on I won't crave
anything. This doesn't work because the conditions that give rise to craving will still be present.
The Second Noble Truth tells us that we cling to things we believe will make us happy or keep us
safe. Grasping for one ephemeral thing after another never satisfies us for long because it's all
impermanent. It is only when we see this for ourselves that we can stop grasping. When we do see it, the
letting go is easy. The craving will seem to disappear of its own accord.
The Buddha taught that through diligent practice, we can put an end to craving. Ending the hamster
wheel-chase after satisfaction is enlightenment (bodhi, "awakened"). The enlightened being exists in a state
called nirvana.
THE FOURTH NOBLE TRUTH

The Buddha spent the last 45 or so years of his life giving sermons on aspects of the Four Noble
Truths. The majority of these were about the Fourth Truth: the path (magga).
In the Fourth Noble Truth, the Buddha as a physician prescribes the treatment for our illness: The
Eightfold Path. Unlike in many other religions, Buddhism has no particular benefit to merely believing in a
doctrine. Instead, the emphasis is on living the doctrine and walking the path.
The path is eight broad areas of practice that touches every part of our lives. It ranges from study to
ethical conduct to what you do for a living to moment-to-moment mindfulness. Every action of body,
speech, and mind are addressed by the path. It is a path of exploration and discipline to be walked for the
rest of one's life.
Without the path, the first three Truths would just be a theory. The practice of the Eightfold Path
brings the dharma into one's life and makes it bloom.

THE EIGHT-FOLD PATH
The eightfold path, although referred to as steps on a path, is not meant as a sequential learning
process, but as eight aspects of life, all of which are to be integrated in everyday life. Thus the environment
is created to move closer to the Buddhist path.
The eightfold path is at the heart of the middle way, which turns from extremes, and encourages us
to seek the simple approach.
The eightfold path is Right Understanding, Right Intent, Right Speech, Right Action, Right
Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration.
No doubt all of you are aware of the moral codes in other religious groups such as Christianity, the
Jews, and Muslims. While there is a degree of correspondence across these groups, the interpretation of
the code in each philosophy is different. In the example of the Ten Commandments, there is an
authoritarian feeling of decree, of a direct order that these be fulfilled.
In Buddhism, the eightfold path is meant as a guideline, to be considered, to be contemplated, and
to be taken on when, and only when each step is fully accepted as part of the life you seek. Buddhism
never asks for blind faith, it seeks to promote learning and a process of self-discovery.
The meaning of Right has several aspects, and includes an ethical, and a balanced, or middle way.
When things go "right", we often experience a special feeling inside which confirms that this is the correct
decision or action.
Right Understanding:
The first step of the eightfold path is Right Understanding or Right View.
This is a significant step on the path as it relates to seeing the world and everything in it as it really
is, not as we believe it to be or want it to be. Just as you may read the directions on a map, and then make
the journey, studying, reading and examining the information is important, but only the preparation for the
journey. At a deeper level, direct personal experience will then lead us to Right Understanding.
In his book " Old Path, White Clouds" , Thich Nhat Hanh tells the story of the Buddha. The Buddha
says "my teaching is not a dogma or a doctrine, but no doubt some people will take it as such." The Buddha
goes on to say "I must state clearly that my teaching is a method to experience reality and not reality itself,
just as a finger pointing at the moon is not the moon itself. A thinking person makes use of the finger to see
the moon. A person who only looks at the finger and mistakes it for the moon will never see the real moon."
Knowing reality is of very little value if we don’t put it to personal use in our lives.
Right Intent:
The second step on the Eightfold Path is Right Intent. This is the step where we become committed
to the path. Right Understanding shows us what life really is and what life’s problems are composed of,
Right Intent urges us to decide what our heart wants.
Right Intent must come from the heart and involves recognizing the equality of all life and
12
compassion for all that life, beginning with yourself. Right Intent means persistence and a passion for the
journey. Setting out to climb a high mountain means you must understand the lay of the land and the
pitfalls, the other team members, and the equipment you need. This is similar to Right Understanding. But
you will only climb the mountain if you really want to and have a passion for the climb. This is Right Intent.
The mountain we climb here is our journey through life.
To summarize, Right Understanding will eliminate ignorance. With Right Intent and correct
understanding, we then remove desire, which in turn causes the suffering defined in the Four Noble Truths.
Right Speech:
Right Speech is the next step of the Path. We tend to underestimate the power of the spoken word,
and often regret words said in haste. Each of us has experienced the disappointment associated with harsh
criticism, whether justified or not, and we also are likely to have felt good when kind words encouraged us.
Right speech involves recognition of the truth, and also an awareness of the impact of idle gossip
and of repeating rumors. Communicating thoughtfully helps to unite others, and can heal dissention. By
resolving never to speak unkindly, or in anger, a spirit of consideration evolves which moves us closer to
everyday compassionate living.
Right Action:
Right Action recognizes the need to take the ethical approach in life, to consider others and the
world we live in. This includes not taking what is not given to us, and having respect for the agreements we
make both in our private and business lives.
Right Action also encompasses the five precepts which were given by the Buddha, not to kill, steal,
lie, to avoid sexual misconduct, and not to take drugs or other intoxicants.
This step on the path also includes a whole approach to the environment, with Right Action being
taken whenever possible to safeguard the world for future generations.
Right Livelihood:
The next on the Eightfold Path follows on from Right Action, and this is Right Livelihood. If your
work has a lack of respect for life, then it will be a barrier to progress on the spiritual path. Buddhism
promotes the principle of equality of all living beings and respect for all life.
Certain types of work were discouraged by the Buddha, in particular those where you deal in
harmful drugs and intoxicants, those dealing in weapons, and those harmful to animal or human life. So a
dedicated Buddhist would not be recommended to have a liquor store, own a gun shop, or be a butcher. In
his time, he also discouraged the slave trade, which dealt in human workers. And he was also against the
practice of fortune telling as this made assumptions about a fixed future, where his teaching stresses that
the future is created by what we do today.
Right Livelihood also implies that a Buddhist who is able, will undertake some work, either as part of
a Buddhist community, or in the workplace, or, alternatively, do home based or community service. Many
communities of monks ensure that each member has daily chores, which remind him of this step on the
Eightfold Path.
13
Right Effort:
Right Effort means cultivating an enthusiasm, a positive attitude in a balanced way. Like the strings
of a musical instrument, the amount of effort should not be too tense or too impatient, as well as not too
slack or too laid back. Right Effort should produce an attitude of steady and cheerful determination.
In order to produce Right Effort, clear and honest thoughts should be welcomed, and feelings of
jealousy and anger left behind. Right Effort equates to positive thinking, followed by focused action.
The Buddha was well ahead of his time on this one, and many books have been written about the
power of the right attitude.
Right Mindfulness:
While Right Effort is a very easy concept for most of us, Right Mindfulness is somewhat trickier to
grasp, and may involve quite a change of thinking.
I suggest that you take a short break, stand up and walk (or cruise if you are mobile) around the
room or house, and then come back here before reading on.
Right Mindfulness means being aware of the moment, and being focused in that moment. When we
travel somewhere, we are hearing noises, seeing buildings, trees, advertising, feeling the movement,
thinking of those we left behind, thinking of our destination. So it is with most moments of our lives.
Right Mindfulness asks us to be aware of the journey at that moment, and to be clear and
undistracted at that moment. Right Mindfulness is closely linked with meditation and forms the basis of
meditation.
Right Mindfulness is not an attempt to exclude the world, in fact, the opposite. Right Mindfulness
asks us to be aware of the moment, and of our actions at that moment. By being aware, we are able to see
how old patterns and habits control us. In this awareness, we may see how fears of possible futures limit
our present actions.
Now, having read this, try the same walk as before but with a focused mind, which now
concentrates only on the action of the walking. Observe your thoughts before reading on.
Sometimes you may be absorbed in what you are doing. Music, art, sport can trigger these
moments. Have you ever done anything where your mind is only with that activity? At that moment, you are
mindful, and the Buddha showed how to integrate that awareness into our everyday lives.
Right Concentration:
Once the mind is uncluttered, it may then be concentrated to achieve whatever is desired. Right
Concentration is turning the mind to focus on an object, such as a flower, or a lit candle, or a concept such
as loving compassion. This forms the next part of the meditation process.
Right concentration implies that we select worthy directions for the concentration of the mind,
although everything in nature, beautiful and ugly, may be useful for concentration. At deeper levels, no
object or concept may be necessary for further development.
The benefits of Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration are significant as they teach the mind to
see things, not as we are conditioned to seeing them, but as they really are. At the same time, they also
14
lead to a feeling of calm and peace with the world. By being in the moment and being able to concentrate
effectively, a sense of joy in the moment is felt. Release from the control of past pains and future mind
games takes us closer to freedom from suffering.
