01_Inspiration.mp31. Golden Chain Of Love (Songs)2012 viewsThe Buddha is the greatest role model in the history of mankind. As the Exalted One, His boundless love is in comparable to any other. He is the All-knowing One with the ability to communicate even the most complex concept in the universe into simple and easily understood phrases. Endowed with knowledge and virtue, the Buddha reminds us to against perpetrating any unwholesome deeds and encourages us to perform wholesome deeds. With firm morals, the mind can then be set free from all forms of distractions.

bps-essay_39.pdfLifestyles and Spiritual Progress2004 viewsNew comers to Buddhism often ask whether a person’s lifestyle has any special bearing on their ability to progress along the Buddha’s path, and in particular whether the Buddha had a compelling reason for establishing a monastic order governed by guidelines quite different from those that hold sway over the lay Buddhist community. If we suspend concern for questions of status and superiority and simply consider the two modes of life in their ideal expression, the conclusion would have to follow that the monastic life, lived in the way envisioned by the Buddha, is the one that conduces more effectively to the final goal.

Wings_of_Awakening.pdfThe Wings to Awakening - An Anthology from the Pali Canon1997 viewsMany anthologies of the Buddha's teachings have appeared in English, but this is the first to be organized around the set of teachings that the Buddha himself said formed the heart of his message: the Wings to Awakening. The material is arranged in three parts, preceded by a long Introduction. The Introduction tries to define the concept of Awakening so as to give a clear sense of where the Wings to Awakening are headed. It does this by discussing the Buddha's accounts of his own Awakening, with special focus on the way in which the principle of skilful kamma formed both the “how" and the \what" of that Awakening: The Buddha was able to reach Awakening only by developing skilful kamma this is the “how"; his understanding of the process of developing skilful kamma is what sparked the insights that constituted Awakening - this is the “what."

craft.pdfThe Craft of the Heart, by Ajaan Lee Dhammadharo1993 viewsThis book, Ajaan Lee’s first, is like a catalog. In it, he gives the full range of his teachings on the practice of the Buddha’s craft, from the observance of the five precepts to the attainment of total liberation. Thus the different parts are written for different people at different stages in the practice, and the reader is advised to read, not judgmentally, but judiciously - taking whatever is useful for his or her own practice, and leaving the rest for others.

BT05B.MP3Lecture 5. (b) Rebirth and Kamma1992 viewsThe lectures explain the Dhamma from the perspective of Theravada Buddhism, the oldest continuous Buddhist school, whose scriptures, the Pali canon, give the most accurate picture of what the historical Buddha himself actually taught. The lectures are intended to be basic enough to be of value to beginners without previous study of the Dhamma, and deep and through enough to be of interest to long-term students seeking to extend and clarify their understanding.
