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 Entering the Stream to Enlightenment by : Yuki Sirimane
Download or read book Entering the Stream to Enlightenment written by Yuki Sirimane and published by Equinox Publishing (UK). This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study on the nature and effects of the Theravāda Buddhist religious experiences of the four supramundane fruits of the Noble Eightfold Path - the experience of the fruit which is stream-entry, once returning, non-returning and Arahanthship - with special focus on the experience of stream-entry. It represents the first time within Theravāda Buddhist studies that a serious textual study has been combined with a substantial field research. Despite disciplinary rules which virtually prohibit a monk with higher ordination from discussing their personal religious experiences, this book presents seven comprehensive anonymous interviews conducted mainly with forest monks on their meditative experiences. The study presents a definition for the 'supramundane fruit' of the path and an alternate framework to discuss and evaluate Theravāda Buddhist religious experiences. It then uses this framework to address some longstanding debates around the Theravāda path and its fruits thus bringing experience back to the centre stage of these debates.

Book Synopsis Buddhism for Beginners by : Thubten Chodron
Download or read book Buddhism for Beginners written by Thubten Chodron and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This easy-to-understand introduction to Buddhism is “written for people wanting to understand basic Buddhist principles and how to integrate them into their lives” (H.H. the Dalai Lama) This user’s guide to Buddhist basics takes the most commonly asked questions—beginning with “What is the essence of the Buddha’s teachings?”—and provides simple answers in plain English. Thubten Chodron’s responses to the questions that always seem to arise among people approaching Buddhism make this an exceptionally complete and accessible introduction—as well as a manual for living a more peaceful, mindful, and satisfying Life. Buddhism for Beginners is an ideal first book on the subject for anyone, but it’s also a wonderful resource for seasoned students, since the question-and-answer format makes it easy to find just the topic you’re looking for, such as: • What is the goal of the Buddhist path? • What is karma? • If all phenomena are empty, does that mean nothing exists? • How can we deal with fear? • How do I establish a regular meditation practice? • What are the qualities I should look for in a teacher? • What is Buddha-nature? • Why can't we remember our past lives?
Book Synopsis Cutting Off The Stream by : Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo
Download or read book Cutting Off The Stream written by Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo and published by San Fran Dhammaram Temple. This book was released on with total page 62 pages. 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 What the Buddha Taught by : Walpola Rahula
Download or read book What the Buddha Taught written by Walpola Rahula and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A terrific introduction to the Buddha’s teachings.” —Paul Blairon, California Literary Review This indispensable volume is a lucid and faithful account of the Buddha’s teachings. “For years,” says the Journal of the Buddhist Society, “the newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahula’s What the Buddha Taught fills the need as only could be done by one having a firm grasp of the vast material to be sifted. It is a model of what a book should be that is addressed first of all to ‘the educated and intelligent reader.’ Authoritative and clear, logical and sober, this study is as comprehensive as it is masterly.” This edition contains a selection of illustrative texts from the Suttas and the Dhammapada (specially translated by the author), sixteen illustrations, and a bibliography, glossary, and index. “[Rahula’s] succinct, clear overview of Buddhist concepts has never been surpassed. It is the standard.” —Library Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teachings beyond ordinary views of Dhamma are rare, and those who wish to pursue the disciple route to reach a Stream Entry and gain benefit for themselves will need to reflect wisely and understand the teachings beyond ordinary views. Those who will hear and will practice Dhamma beyond common ways will gain a precious opportunity to enter the Stream-entry state, to develop higher knowledge, and to enter into Nibbana. Consequently, they will be able to stop experiencing stress and samsara for themselves. The easiest way to develop vision leading to Nibbana is hearing Dhamma from someone who has already developed right understanding across four stages of Nibbana. Nibbana that is hard to see can be seen for those who develop internal qualities and wisdom to see dhamma beyond ordinary views. The purpose of this book is to clarify the teachings of Buddha leading to Nibbana beyond common views. Such clarification will be helpful for practitioners to develop an understanding of Nibbana beyond common views to develop an understanding of a Stream Winner.

Book Synopsis Going Against the Stream by : Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo
Download or read book Going Against the Stream written by Venerable Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo and published by San Fran Dhammaram Temple. This book was released on with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides practical methods for practicing Dhamma. There have been eight previous publications of this book, but the supply has been insufficient to provide enough copies to my followers and to others who are interested. However, because there are many followers who subscribe to my Dhamma teaching and support my efforts to teach others, they have provided the encouragement and the financial support to publish this English language version of the book. The tranquility meditation methods described are basically the same as those described in the previous versions of this book. The method for developing wisdom, however, may not be exactly the same, because I have added some additional information about the process. The method used for wisdom development is wide ranging in scope and though I have added some information, I have still attempted to narrow the scope, so that it is easier for Dhamma practicers to comprehend and practice. In terms of practicing methods, you will learn distinct walking meditation methods for tranquility or “calm mind” meditation, and the method for wisdom development (vipassana). As a result, the comprehension of these distinct methods will eliminate doubt and confusion between tranquility method and method for wisdom development. Otherwise, practicers might become confused about ending or beginning. Moreover, they might wrongly recognize a tranquility method as being a method for wisdom development. I have asked many Dhamma practicers, both monks and lay persons, how they practiced Dhamma. They answer that they develop vipassana. Then I asked further about how they develop vipassana. They answered that they practice anapana-sati, focusing on breathing going in and out. Some said that they practice watching inflation going up and deflation going down. Some said they practice reciting the parikammawords, “samma araham.” Some say that they perceive the condition of emptiness. So, in order to make the correct understanding among Dhamma practicers, I have developed Dhamma practicing methods in categories of samatha and vipassana. Dhamma practicers will be able to discern the correct method as to its use and significance. Finally, I would like to give thanks to all my supporters who arranged for this book publication. I bless you all to have wisdom enabling you to know and to see all Dhamma and the Truth as a result of your practice and your earnest intention. May this blessing happen. Phra Acariya Thoon Khippapanno
Book Synopsis Practising the Dhamma with a View to Nibbāna by : Radhika Abeysekera
Download or read book Practising the Dhamma with a View to Nibbāna written by Radhika Abeysekera and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is divided into two parts that I have called "THE WHY" and "THE HOW". Part I shows you WHY you should practise the Dhamma with a view to Nibbana. It is designed to make you understand how rare is the appearance of a Buddha and how very fortunate you are to be born at a time when the teachings of a Buddha are available. It also shows you how difficult and rare it is to be born as a human being. It is designed to encourage you to strive on with diligence and concentrated, continuous effort. Part II concentrates on "HOW" one practises the Dhamma with a view to Nibbana. Once you have realized the urgency of practising the Dhamma, it is important to know how to practise the Dhamma with a view to Nibbana. "THE HOW" begins by introducing you to Nibbana and the characteristics that must be destroyed to attain it, and then goes on to show how one destroys or eradicates each of these characteristics. It is designed to introduce the reader to the practice of the Dhamma with a view to enlightenment."--Author's preface
Book Synopsis Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha by : Daniel Ingram
Download or read book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha written by Daniel Ingram and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.
Book Synopsis The Noble Eightfold Path by : Bhikkhu Bodhi
Download or read book The Noble Eightfold Path written by Bhikkhu Bodhi and published by Buddhist Publication Society. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Buddha's teachings center around two basic principles. One is the Four Noble Truths, in which the Buddha diagnoses the problem of suffering and indicates the treatment necessary to remedy this problem. The other is the Noble Eightfold Path, the practical discipline he prescribes to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying causes of suffering. The present book offers, in simple and clear language, a concise yet thorough explanation of the Eightfold Path. Basing himself solidly upon the Buddha's own words, the author examines each factor of the path to determine exactly what it implies in the way of practical training. Finally, in the concluding chapter, he shows how all eight factors of the path function in unison to bring about the realization of the Buddhist goal: enlightenment and liberation.
