They showed me one of the Royal projects that was encouraging the Hill Tribes to stop prod...

Practise Brahma-vihara, explore The 4 Noble truths and associate with Theravada Buddhist co-workers according to me. :smile: How do you spend...

Re: Sutta-style jhanas: A Western phenomenon?
From Pa Auk Forest Monastery Teaching: •Mindfulness-of-Breathing (ānāpānassati) - to develop absorption concentration (the four jhānas) •Most of the 40 Samatha subjects taught by The Buddha - including loving-kindness (mettā) meditation, the thirty-two parts of the body, the ten kasiṇas and the four...

Re: The Role of Lay People in Theravāda
I must have misunderstood the 5 Precepts in Theravāda. Within monastic context, I thought the 3rd precept meant abstinence (I'm married) and the 5th precept meant intoxicants including medication (I take an anti-seizure med that binds to gamma aminobutyric acid much like alcohol does, although I do...

Until you understand grief in its diversity and effect no one understands the full reality of the First Noble truth.

Re: the great vegetarian debate
It is fairly rational to argue in support of vegan theory. After all, it is clear that eating meat indirectly provokes the butchers to kill more animals. Even the dumbest people understand it without a hitch. But I think Buddha, the enlightened one was not so dumb at all. When devadatta asked for p...
