Dhamma Wheel

Very clean appearing website and good design. A brief listening-skim tells me they sound like good recordings read by a pleasant and professional voice. A good selection too and I'm sure more will be added.

Many thanks for providing this resource.

For those experienced with yoga, could you list those poses you know of that lead to knee pain?

The foundation for sila for laypeople is the 5 precepts. Upholding the precepts and being mindful of them is training for sila. If they are easy for someone personally, that is great. But being easy doesn't diminish their worth, importance, and the respect we should afford to them. This is especiall...

Regarding the OP... There's a pattern I've noticed occurring sometimes. When people, especially young men, who are relatively new to taking the Dhamma seriously for themselves come to this forum, they are often enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is great, but on this online forum environment it can very easil...

That's a great sutta that rightviewftw posted in reply to your question. It's AN 4.184. Here is Venerable Sujato's translation: Then the brahmin Jāṇussoṇi went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him.

Hello there, I don't think it has to be either-or. Personally, if it's noisy sometimes I put on my active noise canceling headphones with some deep brown noise to drown everything out (including my heartbeat). Sometimes I'll just meditate with the noise. Either way, I'm putting effort into the pract...

There is a quote on a poster that says something a long the lines of "Do not live in the past or anticipate troubles in the future, live earnestly in the present." Is this a real Buddha quote? Is this quote a good representation of what the Buddha taught? IMO, the best quote that represents what th...

I have a new neighbour whose dog poops on my lawn and he doesn't clean it up. I've put up a sign to say to clean it up. I'll see how it goes. Would it be un-buddhist if I started taking the poo and dumping on his lawn if they don't clean it up from mine? If the sign doesn't work, try talking to the...

Thank you for sharing this.

Which view on DO resonates with you the most?

The one that conduces to avoiding embroilment in arguments about it.

Now, there are two destinations for a person with wrong view, I tell you: either hell or the animal womb. Talaputa Sutta https://www.accesstoinsight.org/ati/tipitaka/sn/sn42/sn42.002.than.html Sure, but then there is also this to consider. MN 136 Maha Kammavibhanga Sutta: The Greater Analysis of Ac...
