Book Synopsis Buddhist Pali Chants by : Brian F Taylor
Download or read book Buddhist Pali Chants written by Brian F Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhist Pali chants with English translations for use by students in Meditation Retreats. Pali is an Indo-Aryan language, current in Northern India at the time the Buddha was teaching and used by him. It is the language in which his teaching is preserved in the Tipi aka, the sacred texts of Theravada Buddhism. It was an oral language. It had no alphabet of its own.The Buddha's teachings were not written down until the Fourth Buddhist Council in Sri Lanka in 29 BCE, in Sinhala script approximately four hundred and fifty-four years after the death of Gautama Buddha. Pali was also written in Brahmi script as in the rock-cut edicts of Asoka in north-central India, dated to 250-232 B.C. Pali has been transliterated into the alphabets of many languages. I have used the Roman transliteration used by the compilers of the first Pali Dictionary for the Pali Text Society. "

Book Synopsis TRADITIONAL PALI CHANTS BOOK IN ENGLISH by : Wat Luang Phor Sodh Dhammakāyārām
Download or read book TRADITIONAL PALI CHANTS BOOK IN ENGLISH written by Wat Luang Phor Sodh Dhammakāyārām and published by Dhammakaya.tv เรารักวัดหลวงพ่อสด. This book was released on with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Buddha’s teachings have been preserved for centuries through oral transmission by means of recitation. Since the Dhamma were not recorded in writing, disciples assembled regularly to recite together in concord. Variations in individual memories were not allowed to obscure the Buddha’s words. While chanting, devotees contemplate the Dhamma with peaceful minds, free from other tasks. Chanting also requires deep concentration. It is part of daily Dhamma practice. Thus, monks in every monastery routinely assemble to chant the words of the Buddha together in group recitation. I am extremely delighted to have this ‘Traditional Pali Chants in English’ Book. It will permit international Dhamma devotees to take part in the recitation and to contemplate and help preserve the teachings of the Buddha. Because of the English translations, the book conveys the meaning as well as the sound of Lord Buddha’s teachings. I would like to profoundly thank everyone who participated in the gargantuan mission to publish this book for their many varied contributions. I enthusiastically congratulate them all on this extremely successful achievement. They include Phra Yossaphat Khantidhammo, Watcharapol Daengsubha and Saranviphat Svetanan, to mention only a few. May Lord Buddha bless them all for their highly meritorious efforts http://dhammacenter.org/ https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5reTWVk2cAZRFpHZGlmbzdRdm8
Book Synopsis Buddho by : Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo
Download or read book Buddho written by Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo and published by San Fran Dhammaram Temple. This book was released on with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have written this book, Buddho, so that readers will come to understand the correct meaning and use of the word “Buddho.” There are those who wrongly believe that by just reciting the word “Buddho” they are able to rid defilements and cravings (kilesa) from their minds, then expecting wisdom to arise which will enable them to realize how thing really are (the Truth). However, just reciting repetitiously the parikamma word “Buddho” does not make one reach purity of mind (citta) and gain Noble Fruitions, and Nibbana. The use of the word “Buddho” has two distinct applications in these Dhamma practices: Samatha (tranquility meditation) Vipassana (gaining wisdom) These two types of Dhamma practice, samatha and vipassana, have different purposes and ways to practice. You will know and understand those differences by reading this book. Please read with rational discernment and come to the correct understanding. Once you understand the correct meaning and use of “Buddho,” Dhamma practice will not be confusing. In your present life, if you have accumulated sufficient merit and virtue (parami), you shall reach one of the four stages of Noble Fruitions. If not, you will reincarnate in the era of the next Lord Buddha, Buddha Metteyya.” You will listen to his Dhamma, develop wisdom and see the Truth. You will reach the ultimate state of Nibbana, becoming an arahant. In the present life, consider yourself as a lucky person to become a Buddhist disciple. Do not let this good opportunity go by. Put forth great effort to practice Dhamma and strive to accumulate merit and virtue. If you miss this good opportunity in the present life, it is uncertain that you will reincarnate to become a Buddhist again as in the present life. In this life, you have responsibilities and work to do, so just keep doing them as your duty. As your special task, keep practicing Dhamma and accumulate virtue and merit, for these will go with you when you pass away from this world. It will be the benefit of life and your real treasure. Finally, my wish for you is that you gain discernment and wisdom to see the real view of the Truth in this present life. Phra Acariya Thoon Khippapanno

Book Synopsis Rebirth in Early Buddhism and Current Research by : Bhikkhu Analayo
Download or read book Rebirth in Early Buddhism and Current Research written by Bhikkhu Analayo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join a rigorous scholar and Buddhist monk on a brisk tour of rebirth from ancient doctrine to contemporary debates. German Buddhist monk and university professor Bhikkhu Analayo had not given much attention to the topic of rebirth before some friends asked him to explore the treatment of the issue in early Buddhist texts. This succinct volume presents his findings, approaching the topic from four directions. The first chapter examines the doctrine of rebirth as it is presented in the earliest Buddhist sources and the way it relates to core doctrinal principles. The second chapter reviews debates about rebirth throughout Buddhist history and up to modern times, noting the role of confirmation bias in evaluation of evidence. Chapter 3 reviews the merits of current research on rebirth, including near-death experience, past-life regression, and children who recall previous lives. The chapter concludes with an examination of xenoglossy, the ability to speak languages one has not learned previously, and chapter 4 examines the particular case of Dhammaruwan, a Sri Lankan boy who chants Pali texts that he does not appear to have learned in his present life. Rebirth in Early Buddhism and Current Research brings together the many strands of the debate on rebirth in one place, making it both comprehensive and compact. It is not a polemic but an interrogation of the evidence, and it leaves readers to come to their own conclusions.

Book Synopsis Establishments of Mindfulness by : Kiribathgoda Gnanananda
Download or read book Establishments of Mindfulness written by Kiribathgoda Gnanananda and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before this publication, I wrote a comprehensive commentary on the Maha Satipatthana Sutta (The Great Discourse on the Establishments of Mindfulness) based on excerpts from various suttas. The book was published under the title The Supreme Bliss of Nibbana, and gained recognition from pious Buddhist Devotees. Though devotees have for quite some time been requesting that I furnish a book that is suited for chanting the Maha Satipatthana Sutta in both Pali and Sinhala languages, so far it was delayed as I was busy. This publication is in response to the request made by those devotees. If a person melodiously chants this Pali-Sinhala Maha Satipatthana Discourse in a peaceful place in his home, in a stupa compound or under the shade of a Bodhi-tree, or any other suitable location, by doing so they can accrue both the great merit of chanting the Dhamma of the Tatagatha and the great merit of contemplating on the Dhamma. To make the chanting easier for you, places you are supposed to pause are marked with the / sign. By chanting this Maha Satipatthana Sutta, you have the fortune of getting a clear interpretation of the Four Noble Truths from the words of the Buddha himself. Therefore I bless you to accrue exquisite merit by melodiously chanting this Maha Satipatthana Sutta with a pleasant mind, contemplating on its meaning. By the influence of the merits thus gained, may you realise the Four Noble Truths in this Gauthama Buddha's Dispensation! (This book is a translation of Buddhist scriptures found in the Sutta Pitaka, preserved in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.)
Book Synopsis Developing a Life Practice by : David L Roylance
Download or read book Developing a Life Practice written by David L Roylance and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gotama Buddha's teachings are not based in belief. His teachings need to be learned and practiced with guidance so that you can independently observe the truth in his teachings to acquire wisdom. It is this new found wisdom that the mind starts to gradually function in the world differently to attain a peaceful, calm, serene, and content mind with joy....the Enlightened mind.Since everything we do is experienced through the mind if the mind is peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy, one will experience a life that is also peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy.Attaining Enlightenment, also known as Nibbana, is a mind that has attained peace, calm, serenity, and contentedness with joy that is permanent. The mind can be trained to completely eliminate such discontent feelings as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, loneliness, boredom, shyness, jealousy, and all other negative feelings that cause the mind to be discontent and experience suffering.This book, "Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Nibbana" provides the reader in-depth teachings and guidance to walk The Path to Enlightenment. Resources are provided, at no cost, that sync up with this book to allow the reader the opportunity to more fully explore these teachings through Youtube Videos, Podcasts, Online Courses, In-Person Courses/Retreats, and an Online Community where you can seek guidance in learning and practicing these teachings directly from the author of this book.This book is well suited for beginning through to advanced practitioners to learn and practice the teachings of "The Buddha" to include developing a meditation practice as taught by Gotama Buddha. It is a book that you will read and re-read countless times as a guide on The Path to Enlightenment and you will have the ability to seek clarification of the teachings directly from the author at no cost.
