. "Mindfulness is the Path to the Deathless" ...a short Dhamma article by Ajahn Amaro. Excerpt: When the Buddha said that ‘… the mindful do not die’, he did not mean that the body of a mindful person is never going to stop breathing and rot away. No. The Buddha’s body died, just like anyone else’s. ...

. Ajahn Amaro discusses superstition, karma, and the Buddha's teaching on causality in a little booklet "Who is Pulling the Strings?" Excerpt from the beginning of Ch 2 : ‘Is This Principle of “Karmic Fate” What The Buddha Taught?’ If you look at the Buddha’s teachings, you’ll see that he spent a lo...

I'm not arguing in favour of rebirth, and personally I'm agnostic about it. What puzzles me is the degree of aversion that some people have to the idea, and the lengths they go to in their attempts to "prove" that the Buddha didn't teach it, or didn't really believe it, or whatever. It could be tha...

You could say that suffering arises due to the thought of "my body", "my aging", "my death", and so on, but that doesn't negate the reality of these biological processes. And given that we are physical beings, the idea of samsara as a continuity of "physical" existence seems to make sense. It doesn...

Oops, deleted because I was repeating a quote I made earlier in the topic!

non-monogamous relationship forms like polyamory are increasingly common and personally I think love shared is love multiplied. Are they?

:namaste: How do you deal with persistent thoughts, not necessarily during meditation but during regular hours as well? A certain thought pattern keeps surfacing over and over. Do you keep ignoring it? What exactly do you do with such thoughts (not random thoughts)? :anjali: Hi alfa, The Buddha's w...

Nibbana is an experience, so I don't think it can be compared with devas or kamma or rebirth. As an experience, nibbana is not a claim that some specific entity exists only no one can prove it. In that sense it is much less problematic than indeed kamma, rebirth and devas. The first chapter of "The...

and Shambhala offers a family summer camp. Absolutely no offence to you intended, Justsit, but in view of all the recent scandals involving the Tibetan Buddhist Shambala organisation,their family summer camp would definately not be a place I'd recommend to anyone myself! https://religionnews.com/20...

Hi everyone! I am reading the Sutta's, and there are a whole lot of 'attainments'. I feel that I have a lot of work to do, but should I aim for these levels, such as the Jhanas, which are mentioned most frequently, or just keep on meditating and they will come naturally? I don't want to get too fix...

Isn't "amata" the Pali word for deathless ? (rather than "amara")
