06_satipatthana_sutta_02.pdf02 Satipatthana Sutta3014 viewsDuring this course we have looked at how different interpretative communities read the Nikayas. Among these are contemporary communities formed by the experience of modernity, practitioners who are attempting to apply the teachings found in the Nikayas to their daily lives in the contemporary world. Locating ourselves within such a community, we can see that our reading is a form of practitioner criticism. We have sought to make sense of this alien literature firstly by acknowledging that it is not a literature at all, but a collection of oral performances. We have examined how these performances are both made up of and linked by patterns of repetition lists of lists within lists. The lists function like tables in individual databases, and the teaching as a whole - the dhamma - functions as a relational database which exists, not within any given sutta, but as a network of relationships which underlies and unites all the suttas.

10_ways_of_making_merit.pdfTen Ways of Making Merit5114 viewsThe Buddha taught that merit-making is a formidable antidote to overcome the many vicissitudes faced in our day-to-day lives. Hence He declared: ‘Do not fear merit-making. “Merit-making†is a term denoting happiness, what is desirable, pleasant, dear and charming. For I recall in my mind very well that after making merit for a long time, I experienced desirable, pleasant, dear and charming results for a long time. Let therefore a man train himself in merit-making that yields long-lasting happiness. Let him cultivate the practice of giving, virtuous conduct and a mind of metta. By cultivating these qualities the wise man arrives in untroubled and happy states.

13_Track_13.mp3RIGHT ACTION2074 viewsFirm in our purpose we have act,
Our feet in Wisdom’s Way;
Nor shall the transient things of earth,
Our resolution sway.
We spurn the lure of fame or gold,
The lust for things of sense;
And find purity and peace,
Our ample recompense.
Unselfish love to all that live,
Our lives shall manifest;
In thought, in word, in action show,
Its inspiration blest.
Though steep and toilsome be the path,
We shall but strive the more;
Nirvana’s holy realm to gain,
And peace forevermore.

18_Track_18.mp3TRUTH WITHIN YOU1908 viewsCome my brothers get together,
Sing the praise of your Lord,
He bath found the cure of sadness,
Gladly hearken to His word.
He bath taught the Law triumphant,
And this law shall set you free,
In His universal Sangha,
Ye shall find true liberty.
One are you with all that liveth,
Race and caste no more shell bind,
Brotherhood without distinction,
In the Buddha’s Greed you’ll find.
Mediate upon His Dharma,
In your lives these teachings show,
That the nations all around you,
May the Buddha’s greatness know.
Cultivate the Truth within you,
It will bring you joy and peace,
And the strife that are around you,
From them you shell find release.
Realise your Buddha nature,
And Nirvana you shall see,
In its tranquil peace undying,
You shall live eternally.

Each subject is discussed with humour, liveliness and compassion. She has the great gift of showing how to put the Dharma into every part of our everyday lives. Born in London in 1993, Tenzin Palmo traveled to India and was ordained as a Buddhist nun in 1964.
