Dhamma Wheel

There's a Sutta where a Deva laments over a bunch of monks in Meditation saying they're doing something so difficult so hard it's so hard. Then the Buddha explains their resilience to them. I don't remember where in the Samyutta Nikāya it is I'm but I thought it was there but I can't find it. Anyone...

Woah amazing, I got way more than I expected to have, thanks friends.

I found in the Āpadana and the Milinda Pañha mention of the Eighty Minor Marks of the Buddha and found a Sanskrit version of the Eighty Marks in the Āgamas but what are the Eighty Secondary Characteristics of the Buddha in Pāli?

There are more than one way of Practice of Dāna. If you are generous with material goods it is the lowest form of Dāna. A higher form of Dāna is to give fearlessness by agreeing to follow and abide by the precepts. This way you renounce all forms of violence and bad behavior and thus all beings are ...

I wouldn't just state your opinion as if it were factual. If you think this is the case bring Canonical evidence and if there is no Canonical evidence then it can, and will, be rightfully dismissed by anyone else as just being your opinion, which while it feels valuable to you, to one Practicing the...

I'm trying to compile some Suttas in the Pāli Canon and the Agamas where the Buddha is compared to a doctor and gives his disciples advice on Sickness and Pain or heal them with Dhamma talks So far there's most of the Bojjhaṅgā Suttas. One where he visits Mahā Kassapa, One where he is sick and is re...

I don't know what you are talking about, I study a liturgical language and read all the Abhidhamma teachings, and Practice all things a Theravada Buddhist does. Am I still a Theravada Buddhist? Probably, but what does this have to do with self appellation? Some people call themselves that because th...

I will try doing that, thank you very much for your help.

I'm working on attempting to write what I can in Pāli and to use it to strengthen my practice.

I'm writing it myself as a practice so that I may chant it myself when I need to recall my determinations and precept commitments.

Would be silly if I was chanting wrong the whole time!

Is it ok grammatically, though? because I'm sure I made mistakes all around it.

I am sure this is part of it, but I wanted to see if there's any Canonical evidence that it can be done by anyone else.

Uh I'm Practicing Celibacy.

Hence abrahmacariya, as opposed to kamesu micchācara

I'm writing up a set of precepts that are made for me and with some reminders to help get me on the right track mentally but I actually want to try and write them in Pāli but this is a very rough draft and I'm not sure if I've gotten everything that I want fleshed out, so I'm open to suggestions for...

I do like the idea that one can cycle forwards and backwards in Jhāna and if they can be done right away in circumstances you need might be important.
