Book Synopsis Entering the Stream of Dhamma by : Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo
Download or read book Entering the Stream of Dhamma written by Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo and published by San Fran Dhammaram Temple. This book was released on with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I would like to begin by discussing the meaning of the title, “Entering the Stream of Dhamma,” so that we understand it in the same way. All followers of the Dhamma want to enter the stream of Dhamma, but we may be talking about different things. In fact, there is only one true meaning. My explanation is for you to consider, review and contemplate with wisdom before you decide whether or not it is right. The Noble Ones, from the sotapanna stage on, are those who have entered the stream of Dhamma. Although sotapannas, those reaching the first of the four levels of Noble Ones, have not yet been completely purified, they are enlightened enough to see clearly the right path to Nibbana, the Final Goal or the complete eradication of suffering. In other words, they have undoubtedly entered the stream leading to Nibbana with no turning back, and know this for themselves the first moment they step into this path. At that point they become Stream Enterers, and are regarded as nitaya-puggala, people who are advancing toward Nibbana and will never return to the stage of ordinary people. Even though they may be reborn in this world, they will experience no more than seven lives before attaining Nibbana. The Lord Buddha taught clearly and reasonably how to enter the stream of Dhamma. In his time, his followers practiced in accordance with the Noble Eightfold Path and attained the Noble Fruitions. If we want to reach the same goal, we must strictly follow the Lord Buddha’s teachings, and we will enter the stream of Dhamma just like the people in his time. What the Noble Fruitions were like in the past is still the same now and will continue to be so forever. Phra Acariya Thoon Khippapanno

Book Synopsis U-Turn by : Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo
Download or read book U-Turn written by Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo and published by San Fran Dhammaram Temple. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first time the students of KPYUSA got the opportunity to get together and train in the style of Dhamma taught by Luang Por Thoon Khippapanyo was in 2000. This book is a translation of a transcription of a Dhamma sermon given to Ajarn Passano, the Abbott of Wat Abhayagiri, on July 2, 2000 at the KPYUSA mountain in Redwood Valley, California, USA. The transcribers felt that the information contained within this sermon would be highly beneficial to those who have confusion about proper practice and desire to achieve Nibbana (total enlightenment). Luang Por Thoon was very concerned for the practitioners of Buddhism in our current day and age. He once said that because many people are dedicated and interested in practicing, if they were provided with the right way of practice, they would become enlightened. Unfortunately, the majority of teachings in this day and age only teach the same thing – that is, how to prevent thinking. If you become aware that your chosen method of practice is wrong, will you have the courage to abandon it and try a new method? Once you make that U-turn, you might just find that following a new path is not as hard as you might have thought. At the very least, Luang Por Thoon has already walked this particular path to completion, to Nibbana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, abbot of a forest monastery in northeastern Thailand, has written several books on methods of practice in Buddhism. This one, like his other books, emphasizes the development of wisdom based on Right View and Right Thought, through contemplation of physical and mental processes. He explains how to make use of memories and imaginations in contemplation, especially on death and the body. He stresses that the objective in meditation is to teach the mind with wisdom to truly accept the Three Characteristics ‒ suffering, impermanence, and no-self of the things one considers. He also describes in considerable detail about the rise of “ultimate wisdom” and what follows, at the verge of transcendent mind. A number of initial techniques in walking and sitting meditation for use in conjunction with wisdom development are included in the appendix. A concise glossary of Pali terms used in this book has also been included.
Book Synopsis Moving Against the Stream by : Sangharakshita (Bhikshu)
Download or read book Moving Against the Stream written by Sangharakshita (Bhikshu) and published by Windhorse Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1964 Sangharakshita, the seniormost Buddhist monk of British birth, left India for a visit to the UK. After twenty years in the subcontinent--travelling and lecturing, writing, working among the most deprived, and extending and deepening his knowledge of the Dharma--he had been invited by leading British Buddhists to help resolve tensions in the British Buddhist scene. While he was trying to ease conflicts and create harmony, an unexpected turn of events brought Sangharakshitato a crucial decision. This fourth volume of memoirs, covering the years 1964 to 1967, deals with Sangharakshita's return to Britain and describes the difficulties he encountered in his attempts to unite English Buddhists. We witness the turning point at which he decided to dedicate his life to working 'for the good of Buddhism' in his native land. This culminated in the birth (in a shop basement in central London) of a new Buddhist movement. Thirty-six years later the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order is spreading the Buddha's message in more than twenty-six countries around the globe.
