Re: The citta as a permanent self?
I remember that on his book "Samana", he says that citta, fire, water and the another elements don't die. Earth just come back to earth, water just come back to water, "citta just come back to citta". So, I think this must be considered. It seems that he is saying that when we at...

Re: Right way to cultivate samma sankappa?
It was interesting that the first post talked about the detachment from beautiful things like snow and sky. There is a happiness when we see the arising of the Sun or the rain, but if we are not intelligent with this, this happiness won't have much value at all. I remember of a Dhamma talk of Ajahn ...

Ajahn Brahm teachings - are they really different of Ajahn Chah's and other teachers?
I was Reading some discussions here and I found a lot of debates between methods of Buddhism, as doubts about the teachings of Ajahn Brahmavamso, when some arguments surprised me, because when I read Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Chah, Maha Boowa, Ajahn Akincano and some other masters of Thai Forest Tradition ...

Re: There is neither atta nor anatta?
Thanks for your comments, now I can see the arguments of Ajahn Thanissaro better... After all, I think that all they said is the same thing in different words, what shows how Dhamma must be completely understood in practice. It seems to me that "self" as a soul is invention of ours, so, it...

There is neither atta nor anatta?
I would like to know your opinions about the way that some famous monks talked about Anatta, not-self. I was reading about this for a long time, and it would be good to hear the opinion of others now. But it is clear that it is speculation, because we must see it in our practices, but I think we mus...

Hage from Brazil
Hi everyone! :hello: My last name is Hage, and I'm from Brazil - so, forgive me if I am changing the order of the words or if I am writing something wrong, I have studied English just for 2 years. Then, besides improving my English (lol), I hope I can know a lot of people here and discuss about Budd...
