"An anthology of 423 verses spoken by the Buddha, the Dhammapada serves as the perfect compendium of his teachings for study, reflection, and contemplation. This popular edition from the Buddhist Publication Society transmits the spirit and content as well as the style of the original, skillfully combining clarity and vigor of expression with careful fidelity to the meaning. The inclusion of the Pali text gives students of Pali immediate access to the original. A long introduction by Bhikkhu Bodhi describes the structure of the Dhammapada and shows how the work embodies the essential teachings of the Buddha. "Wherever [The Dhammapada] has become known its moral earnestness, realistic understanding of human life, aphoristic wisdom, and stirring message of a way to freedom from suffering has won for it the devotion and veneration of those responsive to the good and the true." from the Introduction"--

Quel chemin suivre à présent ? Tels des tornades, des changements très violents bouleversent notre époque. Ils font et défont les destins, testent nos limites. Où trouver refuge dans le tumulte ? Le monde ne va pas s'arrêter pour nous laisser descendre en marche, alors que faire et quel chemin prendre ? Doit-on plier ou se briser ? La pratique de Vipassana nous permet d'expérimenter le changement, en le comprenant totalement, à chaque instant de notre vie quotidienne.>Le livre est composé de trois parties: Partie A: Vipassana - Méditer sur le changement . Cette partie porte un regard sur l'impact du changement sur nos vies quotidiennes, ce qu'est Vipassana et ce qui se passe lors d'un cours de dix jours. Partie B: Vipassana - Changer le quotidien . Cette partie décrit les différentes manières dont les individus et les organisations appliquent l'enseignement au quotidien, chez eux, avec des amis et dans des cadres aussi divers que l'éducation, les affaires et l'administration, les réformes sociales et la santé.Les annexes fournissent des informations pour ceux qui désirent en savoir plus sur Vipassana et sur les modalités à effectuer pour se rendre à un cours.

I över 40 års tid undervisade S.N. Goenka (1924-2013) i Vipassanameditation, enligt de instruktioner han fått av sin lärare, Sayagyi U Ba Khin (1899-1971). Även efter S.N. Goenkas död deltar varje år hundratusentals människor i meditationskurser enligt den levande tradition han representerar. Satipaṭṭhāna sutta anses av många vara Buddhas viktigaste föredrag om meditation. I denna bok ges Goenkajis tolkning av detta föredrag, baserat på undervisningen på den 7-dagarskurs i Satipaṭṭhāna sutta som ges varje år på Vipassanacenter runtom i varlden. Denna bok bör med fördel läsas tillsammans med häftet Maha-satipaṭṭhāna sutta, som innehåller själva föredraget på pälispråket som talades av Buddha, med en fullständig översättning till svenska. Häftet är kursmaterial på 7-dagars- kursen i Satipaṭṭhāna sutta.

"What was the Buddha like as a human being? How did he relate to others? With great care and an eye for detail, Venerable Dhammika pieces together the life events we can 'read' from very early texts. The result is a truly authoritative biography. It shows that as a man, as well as a teacher, the historical Buddha was remarkable indeed. The chapter headings are refreshingly original: a day in the life of, his humour, his debating style, his background. I really enjoyed thinking about Gotama Buddha simply as a person - and clearly an extraordinary one, as Ven. Dhammika shows us. I recommend this book to anyone who would like a down-to-earth, accurate and readable appraisal of the founder of this great world religion, seen through modern eyes. -Sarah Shaw Oxford, March, 2021"--

The pragmatic nature of the Buddha's teaching makes it perennially relevant to all times, and perhaps especially useful for coping with the difficulties of the present age. Leaving aside metaphysical and theological considerations, the Buddha's teaching focuses on what each person can do here and now to overcome the roots of suffering.The heart of this teaching is meditation, which aims at two goals: the calming down of the restless mind and the arousing of insight into the true nature of existence. The present widely acclaimed book explains the methods of Buddhist meditation in a concise yet complete account according to the oldest Buddhist tradition, that based on the Pali Canon. The aim of the book is essentially practical. While providing all the information necessary to proper understanding, the stress is on the need for practice and personal commitment. This work will both instruct the beginner and inspire the experienced meditator."An excellent reference book ...Will appeal to beginners and non-beginners alike, and will meet the need for a more readable publication in this complex field of spiritual activity."-Buddhist Studies Review

Após os atentados terroristas do 11 de setembro em 2001, eu me peguei refletindo sobre a não violência, suas contribuições, seus limites e seu lugar nos ensinamentos do Buda. Também me surpreendi ao ouvir muitos dos meus conhecidos confundindo, nos ensinamentos do Buda, não violência com pacifismo. Ao confundirem essa diferença, eles acabam rejeitando a não violência de uma forma desesperadamente ingênua e inadvertidamente destrutiva, ou abraçando grupos politizados do pacifismo que imaginam, incorretamente, ser o que o Buda ensinou.

"The Buddha traces the entire progress of a disciple from the first step on the path to the attainment of Nibbana in this second sutta of the Sutta Pitaka, one of the most elevating of the Buddha's discourses. On a full-moon night in Autumn, in reply to a question asked by King Ajatasattu of Magadha, the Buddha expounds the visible fruits of the Buddhist monk's life, sketching the progress of the disciple. "...the Samannaphala Sutta sounds a triumphant and lyrical proclamation of the fruitfulness of the course of spiritual training founded upon right view. It is the Buddha's announcement to the world that the life of renunciation he adopted for himself and opened up to humanity by founding the sangha brings immediately visible benefits in each of its stages. It is 'good in the beginning' through the bliss of blamelessness that comes with the purification of conduct; 'good in the middle' in yielding an exalted joy and bliss through the seclusion of the mind from the sensual hindrances; and 'good in the end' because it culminates in the highest wisdom and peace by transcending all mundane bonds." (From the translator's Preface) The work is not only a great spiritual classic, but also a literary gem distinguished by its beauty of poetic imagery"--

The Pāli word mettā is a multi-significant term meaning loving kindness, friendliness, goodwill, benevolence, fellowship, amity, concord, inoffensiveness and non-violence. The Pāli commentators define mettā as the strong wish for the welfare and happiness of others (parahita-parasukha-karana). Essentially mettā is an altruistic attitude of love and friendliness as distinguished from mere amiability based on self-interest. Through mettā one refuses to be offensive and renounces bitterness, resentment and animosity of every kind, developing instead a mind of friendliness, accommodativeness and benevolence which seeks the well-being and happiness of others. True mettā is devoid of self-interest. It evokes within a warm-hearted feeling of fellowship, sympathy and love, which grows boundless with practice and overcomes all social, religious, racial, political and economic barriers. Mettā is indeed a universal, unselfish and all-embracing love. Mettā makes one a pure font of well-being and safety for others. Just as a mother gives her own life to protect her child, so mettā only gives and never wants anything in return. To promote one's own interest is a primordial motivation of human nature. When this urge is transformed into the desire to promote the interest and happiness of others, not only is the basic urge of self-happiness of others, not only is the basic urge of self-seeking overcome, but the mind becomes universal by identifying its own interest with the interest of all. By making this change one also promotes one's own well-being in the best possible manner. Mettā is the protective and immensely patient attitude of a mother who forbears all difficulties for the sake of her child and ever protects it despite its misbehaviour. Metta is also the attitude of a friend who wants to give one the best to further one's well-being. If these qualities of mettā are sufficiently cultivated through mettā-bhāvanā-the meditation on universal love-the result is the acquisition of a tremendous inner power which preserves, protects and heals both oneself and others.Apart from its higher implications, today mettā is a pragmatic necessity. In a world menaced by all kinds of destructiveness, mettā in deed, word and thought is the only constructive means to bring concord, peace and mutual understanding. Indeed, mettā is the supreme means, for it forms the fundamental tenet of all the higher religions as well as the basis for all benevolent activities intended to promote human well-being.The present booklet aims at exploring various facets of mettā both in theory and in practice. The examination of the doctrinal and ethical side of mettā will proceed through a study of the popular Karanīya Mettā Sutta, the Buddha's "Hymn of Universal Love". In connection with this theme we will also look at several other short texts dealing with mettā. The explanation of mettā-bhāvanā, the meditation on universal love, will give the practical directions for developing this type of contemplation as set forth in the main meditation texts of the Theravāda Buddhist tradition, the Visuddhimagga, the Vimuttimagga and the Patisambhidamagga.

"Introduction to Dhammaçngaònåi The Dhammasaçngaònåi, or Collection of Dhammas, is the first of the seven texts of the Abhidhamma Piòtaka. This introduction in a way may be regarded as a brief introduction to the Abhidhamma Piòtaka as a whole. The first part of this work is about Abhidhamma; the second part is about Dhammasaçngaònåi. The Dhammasaçngaònåiis divided into four divisions: - Cittupåada Kaònòda, Division on Mind and Mental Concomitants. - Råupa Kaònòda, Division Concerning Corporeality. - Nikkhepa Kaònòda, Division of Summarized Analytical Statements about all the tikas and the dukas without elaborate treatment. - Aòtòthakathåa Kaònòda is a very short division but it is very important because it contains additional explanation of certain terms, by means of enumeration. The Dhammasaçngaònåibegins with the Måatikåa which is a list of subjects for analytical treatment in the text and grouped in triads and dyads. There are twenty-two ways of grouping the dhammåa (ultimate realities) into triads (tikas) and a hundred ways of grouping it into dyads (dukas). The Dhammasaçngaònåiis divided into four divisions: - Cittupåada Kaònòda, on Mind and Mental Concomitants. - Råupa Kaònòda, Concerning Corporeality. - Nikkhepa Kaònòda, of Summarized Analytical Statements about all the tikas and the dukas without elaborate treatment. - Aòtòthakathåa Kaònòda, containing an additional explanation of certain terms, by means of enumeration"--

The way to inner peace is illuminated in this accessible guide to tending one's inner landscape. The lives of outstanding figures such as the Buddha, Walt Whitman, and Gandhi are used to connect the ideal of inner peace with how real people cultivate peace in their everyday lives. Peacefulness as dynamic, selective, and egoless is shown through the constructive act of choosing different ways of life, such as having a smaller family or a more modest career. A message of hope and inspiration permeates this pragmatic approach and is exemplified by the author's own practice of meditation. (Note: This title was previously published under ISBN 9781928706250.
