People like driver bro have since centuries kept saying what they say, I now tell you to learn from others also. I said god didn't come to save, you say buddha didn't save anyone so did shankaracharya save anyone. This is all meaningless. I also enjoy the peace and feeling of protection of a small temple in the middle of the forest where will animals and others roam. But those days have gone past and future is with different sets of hopes and aspirations. I therefore encourage you to accept evolution and pursue teachings. | ||

Friends, in ancient days neighbour tribes contacted each other and learnt from them. Don't stay stubborn, hear others words and feelings. Try to see how buddha or another is teaching about friendliness. Whatever remains, if we all want to preserve then stay away from dissension. Buddha is like a helmet for our mind. Follow noble silence and 5 percepts. These are guiding teachings to keep people from suffering. If possible be humble students towards the world. Without even hearing me you are avoiding. I could not listen to my father, teacher or even the Buddha. For this lack of skill to listen, I brought so much suffering. I want you also to not make the same mistake. I will share a piece of information that will be a help for you all. Have the curiosity to hear me. More than all of you I liked valmiki and Shiva and Vishnu etc. but simply being a fan is the same as fan of movie stars, you try to be as good as they are but only in few things. Remaining things we continue doing our mistakes. In same way we follow god. This gives us a feeling we are sincere bhaktas. But our sincerity is tested when we havebto forgo family and friends to the exclusive relationship with God. This bring a moral and difficult question. Whether we give up family or god. Lack of understanding we give up god because we don't know what is god and we feel for our family members. But don't be like that, don't be Upaka. I don't have a magic by which I share something and you fall into my hold. It's not like that. I just want to share something with you as a member of this land who saw something and wish to share with you. You having an opinion and determined thought to reject or oppose me is not what is kindness or cooperation. You should hear the message, analyse it and then scrutinize and if it helps you then you have to take it or else you can forget it. There is no red pill or blue pill here. It is just a view I saw and wish to share with my country men | ||

Driver science proving god is also funny, there are many atheists and Buddhism has world wide following, because some have driven away buddhism and try to keep telling people follow blind faith is something happening from millennia. The sapta rishis didn't go to any god or hanuman didn't go to God. Budhha scanned the entire universe when he got enlightenmented and didn't find god although he saw longer duration of life span beings. Even the 14 lokas as per hinduism has gods who will also expired after some time, Jainism also is atheistic. Astrology is but unnecessary is already mentioned by buddha. If majority in this db don't have interest fine, still some minority are interested. Same also outside. The teachings go to those interested. Beating people is same as those invaders who destroyed temples and monasteries and libraries. That shows weakness of themselves. Then Ven. Punna went to the Blessed One and on arrival, having bowed down to the Blessed One, sat to one side. As he was sitting there he said to the Blessed One, "It would be good if the Blessed One would teach me the Dhamma in brief so that, having heard the Dhamma from the Blessed One, I might dwell alone in seclusion: heedful, ardent, & resolute." "There are, Punna, forms cognizable via the eye â agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk relishes them, welcomes them, and remains fastened to them, then in him â relishing them, welcoming them, and remaining fastened to them â there arises delight. From the origination of delight, I tell you, comes the origination of suffering and stress. "There are sounds cognizable via the ear... aromas cognizable by the nose... flavors cognizable via the tongue... tactile sensations cognizable via the body... "There are ideas cognizable via the intellect â agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk relishes them, welcomes them, and remains fastened to them, then in him â relishing them, welcoming them, and remaining fastened to them â there arises delight. From the origination of delight, I tell you, comes the origination of suffering and stress. "There are forms cognizable via the eye â agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk does not relish them, welcome them, or remain fastened to them, then in him â not relishing them, not welcoming them, not remaining fastened to them â there arises no delight. From the cessation of delight, I tell you, comes the cessation of suffering and stress. "There are sounds cognizable via the ear... aromas cognizable by the nose... flavors cognizable via the tongue... tactile sensations cognizable via the body... "There are ideas cognizable via the intellect â agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering desire, enticing. If a monk does not relish them, welcome them, or remain fastened to them, then in him â not relishing them, not welcoming them, not remaining fastened to them â there arises no delight. From the cessation of delight, I tell you, comes the cessation of suffering and stress. {By this means, Punna, you are not far from this doctrine and discipline." When this was said, a certain monk said to the Blessed One, "Here is where I am ill at ease, lord, for I don't discern, as they actually are present, the origination, the passing away, the allure, the drawback, and the escape from the six spheres of contact." "Then what do you think, monk. Do you regard that 'The eye is not mine. It is not my self. It is not what I am'?" "Yes, lord." "Very good, monk. When it is well-seen by you with right discernment that 'The eye is not mine. It is not my self. It is not what I am,' then the first sphere of contact will be abandoned by you, for the sake of no further becoming in the future. "Do you regard that 'The ear is not mine... The nose is not mine... The tongue is not mine... The body is not mine... "Do you regard that 'The intellect is not mine. It is not my self. It is not what I am'?" "Yes, lord." "Very good, monk. When it is well-seen by you with right discernment that 'The intellect is not mine. It is not my self. It is not what I am,' then the sixth sphere of contact will be abandoned by you, for the sake of no further becoming in the future.} "Well then, Punna. Now that I have instructed you with a brief instruction, in which country are you going to live?" "Lord, there is a country called Sunaparanta. I am going to live there." "Punna, the Sunaparanta people are fierce. They are rough. If they insult and ridicule you, what will you think?" "If they insult and ridicule me, I will think, 'These Sunaparanta people are civilized, very civilized, in that they don't hit me with their hands.' That is what I will think, O Blessed One. That is what I will think, O One Well-gone." "But if they hit you with their hands, what will you think?" "...I will think, 'These Sunaparanta people are civilized, very civilized, in that they don't hit me with a clod.'..." "But if they hit you with a clod...?" "...I will think, 'These Sunaparanta people are civilized, very civilized, in that they don't hit me with a stick.'..." "But if they hit you with a stick...?" "...I will think, 'These Sunaparanta people are civilized, very civilized, in that they don't hit me with a knife.'..." "But if they hit you with a knife...?" "...I will think, 'These Sunaparanta people are civilized, very civilized, in that they don't take my life with a sharp knife.'..." "But if they take your life with a sharp knife...?" "If they take my life with a sharp knife, I will think, 'There are disciples of the Blessed One who â horrified, humiliated, and disgusted by the body and by life â have sought for an assassin, but here I have met my assassin without searching for him.' [1] That is what I will think, O Blessed One. That is what I will think, O One Well-gone." "Good, Punna, very good. Possessing such calm and self-control you are fit to dwell among the Sunaparantans. Now it is time to do as you see fit." Then Ven. Punna, delighting and rejoicing in the Blessed One's words, rising from his seat, bowed down to the Blessed One and left, keeping him on his right side. Setting his dwelling in order and taking his robe and bowl, he set out for the Sunaparanta country and, after wandering stage by stage, he arrived there. There he lived. During that Rains retreat he established 500 male and 500 female lay followers in the practice, while he realized the three knowledges and then attained total (final) Unbinding. Then a large number of monks went to the Blessed One and on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one side. As they were sitting there, they said to him, "Lord, the clansman named Punna, whom the Blessed One instructed with a brief instruction, has died. What is his destination? What is his future state?" "Monks, the clansman Punna was wise. He practiced the Dhamma in accordance with the Dhamma and did not pester me with issues related to the Dhamma. The clansman Punna is totally unbound." | ||

Friends I have some deep experience I want to share, whatever the Buddha says about friendship, I am always trying to be like that and I have no agenda towards Hindus or Buddhists or another. My only agenda is that you hear my experience and see if it benefits us because I came to hear of a way to be friendly towards each other and also everyone outside. Once in youth when I used to see the faction murders I too felt hurt someone from my clan were taken away. Today I see immaturity in consolidating the negetive aspects we came across with others instead of focusing on the positives. And unable to look into positives we justify ourselves with caste pride etc | ||

You have no respect to the Buddha, his words or teachings, you neither have an interest to comprehend what the passages say. When the Buddha says he has no teacher, you say he has a teacher. When the Buddha says he is above gods, you say I am fraud. You have no interest nor capacity to analyse the words of the Buddha but feel very good to say all of these passages coming from buddha as junk. You are very illiterate. Not making the effort to understand others is a big let down. Because you are illiterate you can't see the answer from buddhas very own words. Worse than Upaka going his way, you block and keep saying answer me after it has already been answered. Upaka was the first to meet buddha after enlightenment but his journey in history ended there. | ||

Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Baraá¹asi in the Deer Park at Isipatana. There the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus of the group of five thus: âBhikkhus, these two extremes should not be followed by one who has gone forth into homelessness. What two? The pursuit of sensual happiness in sensual pleasures, which is low, vulgar, the way of worldlings, ignoble, unbeneficial; and the pursuit of self-mortification, which is painful, ignoble, unbeneficial. Without veering towards either of these extremes, the Tathagata has awakened to the middle way, which gives rise to vision, which gives rise to knowledge, which leads to peace, to direct knowledge, to enlightenment, to NibbÄna. âAnd what, bhikkhus, is that middle way awakened to by the Tathagata, which gives rise to vision ⦠which leads to NibbÄna? It is this Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. This, bhikkhus, is that middle way awakened to by the Tathagata, which gives rise to vision, which gives rise to knowledge, which leads to peace, to direct knowledge, to enlightenment, to NibbÄna. âNow this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering. âNow this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: it is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there; that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination. âNow this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, nonreliance on it. âNow this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering: it is this Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view ⦠right concentration. ââThis is the noble truth of sufferingâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of suffering is to be fully understoodâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of suffering has been fully understoodâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis is the noble truth of the origin of sufferingâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of the origin of suffering is to be abandonedâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of the origin of suffering has been abandonedâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis is the noble truth of the cessation of sufferingâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of the cessation of suffering is to be realizedâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of the cessation of suffering has been realizedâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of sufferingâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering is to be developedâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. ââThis noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering has been developedâ: thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. âSo long, bhikkhus, as my knowledge and vision of these Four Noble Truths as they really are in their three phases and twelve aspects was not thoroughly purified in this way, I did not claim to have awakened to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in this world with its devas, Mara, and Brahma, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, its devas and humans. But when my knowledge and vision of these Four Noble Truths as they really are in their three phases and twelve aspects was thoroughly purified in this way, then I claimed to have awakened to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in this world with its devas, Mara, and Brahma, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, its devas and humans. The knowledge and vision arose in me: âUnshakable is the liberation of my mind. This is my last birth. Now there is no more renewed existence.ââ This is what the Blessed One said. Elated, the bhikkhus of the group of five delighted in the Blessed Oneâs statement. And while this discourse was being spoken, there arose in the Venerable Kondañña the dust-free, stainless vision of the Dhamma: âWhatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.â And when the Wheel of the Dhamma had been set in motion by the Blessed One, the earth-dwelling devas raised a cry: âAt Baraá¹asi, in the Deer Park at Isipatana, this unsurpassed Wheel of the Dhamma has been set in motion by the Blessed One, which cannot be stopped by any ascetic or brahmin or deva or Mara or Brahma or by anyone in the world.â Having heard the cry of the earth-dwelling devas, the devas of the realm of the Four Great Kings raised a cry: âAt Baraá¹asi ⦠this unsurpassed Wheel of the Dhamma has been set in motion by the Blessed One, which cannot be stopped ⦠by anyone in the world.â Having heard the cry of the devas of the realm of the Four Great Kings, the Tavatiá¹sa devas ⦠the Yama devas ⦠the Tusita devas ⦠the Nimmanarati devas ⦠the Paranimmitavasavatti devas ⦠the devas of Brahmaâs company raised a cry: âAt Baraá¹asi, in the Deer Park at Isipatana, this unsurpassed Wheel of the Dhamma has been set in motion by the Blessed One, which cannot be stopped by any ascetic or brahmin or deva or Mara or Brahma or by anyone in the world.â Thus at that moment, at that instant, at that second, the cry spread as far as the brahma world, and this ten thousandfold world system shook, quaked, and trembled, and an immeasurable glorious radiance appeared in the world surpassing the divine majesty of the devas. Then the Blessed One uttered this inspired utterance: âKoá¹á¸añña has indeed understood! Koá¹á¸añña has indeed understood!â In this way the Venerable Koá¹á¸añña acquired the name âAñña Koá¹á¸aññaâKoá¹á¸añña Who Has Understood.â | ||

Then, having stayed at Uruvela as long as I liked, I set out to wander by stages to Varanasi. Upaka the Ajivaka saw me on the road between Gaya and the (place of) Awakening, and on seeing me said to me, 'Clear, my friend, are your faculties. Pure your complexion, and bright. On whose account have you gone forth? Who is your teacher? In whose Dhamma do you delight?' "When this was said, I replied to Upaka the Ajivaka in verses: 'All-vanquishing, all-knowing am I, with regard to all things, unadhering. All-abandoning, released in the ending of craving: having fully known on my own, to whom should I point as my teacher? [4] I have no teacher, and one like me can't be found. In the world with its devas, I have no counterpart. For I am an arahant in the world; I, the unexcelled teacher. I, alone, am rightly self-awakened. Cooled am I, unbound. To set rolling the wheel of Dhamma I go to the city of Kasi. In a world become blind, I beat the drum of the Deathless.' "'From your claims, my friend, you must be an infinite conqueror.' 'Conquerors are those like me who have reached fermentations' end. I've conquered evil qualities, and so, Upaka, I'm a conqueror.'

Sakka's praises reported by Pañcasikha Once Pañcasikha, a celestial musician, messenger, and attendant on the deva planes, appeared before the Buddha. He reported that Sakka, king of the gods of the Thirty-three, especially honored the following qualities of the Buddha and his teaching: 1. The Lord has striven out of compassion for beings, like no other teacher they can find. 2. The doctrine he teaches is "well proclaimed by the Blessed One, visible here and now, immediately effective, inviting inspection, onward leading, to be experienced by the wise for themselves." 3. He distinguishes and proclaims what is good and what is bad. 4. He explains the path to Nibbana. 5. He has taught beings to become learners (i.e., stream-enterers, once-returners, and non-returners) and arahants. 6. Gifts to the Buddha are well-given (because they bear great fruit) and are accepted by him without any conceit. 7. He practices what he teaches and teaches what he practices. There are absolutely no contradictions between his verbal and physical actions. 8. The Lord has gone beyond all doubt and accomplished his aim in regard to the goal and the supreme holy life. | ||

Sakka's questions Sakka, king of the devas in the heaven of the Thirty-three, played many roles in the Buddha's mission. He attended on the Bodhisatta at his final birth and at the Great Renunciation, visited the Buddha under the Bodhi Tree, and several times proclaimed his confidence in his unique qualities. A discourse called Sakka's Questions (DN 21) took place after he had been a serious disciple of the Buddha for some time. The sutta records a long audience he had with the Blessed One which culminated in his attainment of stream-entry. Their conversation is an excellent example of the Buddha as "teacher of devas," and shows all beings how to work for Nibbana. For these reasons we will study Sakka's Questions in depth to see what message it has for us today.[7] From his vantage point in the Tavatimsa plane, Sakka was a keen observer of the behavior of humans and other beings. He saw that while beings would like to live with each other peacefully, they rarely succeed. Thus his opening question to the Buddha attempted to unravel this contradiction: "By what fetters, sir, are beings bound â gods, humans, asuras, nagas, gandhabbas, and whatever other kinds there may be â whereby, although they wish to live without hate, harming, hostility or malignity, and in peace, they yet live in hate, harming one another, hostile and malign?" The Buddha explained that two mental factors â jealousy and avarice â cause all this trouble; from these two qualities almost all the aggression in the world arises. In this way the Buddha began a step-by-step lesson in Buddhist psychology: causes and conditions govern everything that happens in the universe. Sakka next asked about the origin of jealousy and avarice. Behind jealousy and avarice, the Buddha said, lie liking and disliking, and the source of both liking and disliking is desire. As this is such a basic problem, Sakka wanted to understand even more deeply the causes of desire. The Buddha told him that desire is triggered by thinking. Although he did not specify what sort of thinking, he must have been referring to unsystematic mental activity, the random thoughts in which the untrained mind indulges. When Sakka asked about the cause of thinking, the Buddha said it is the "tendency to mental proliferation." This is what brings about random thinking, which leads to desire, which in turn culminates in like and dislike. These in turn condition jealousy and avarice, from which arise the conflicts in our daily lives. Sakka next shifted to a more directly practical issue: "How does one destroy this sequence that leads to so much misery?" He requested the Buddha to explain what should be done to eliminate this tendency to endless proliferation of mental activity. The Buddha replied that one should not blindly follow after every feeling that arises in the mind. Rather, meditators should pursue a feeling â whether it be a pleasant, painful, or neutral one â only if doing so contributes to the growth of wholesome qualities. If we are alert to our reactions and see that pursuing a feeling strengthens unwholesome tendencies, then we should relinquish that feeling. We will not get carried away by desire for more enjoyable feelings or by aversion towards pain and unhappiness. Sakka once again was very appreciative of the Buddha's words and he next asked more specifically about the practice of bhikkhus. The deva knew that monks practice the Dhamma to the highest degree, in the purest form. As a god he could not become a monk, but he wanted to discover how monks acquire the restraint required by the monastic disciplinary code. The Buddha replied that the good bhikkhu pursues only bodily conduct, conversation, and goals which are conducive to the growth of wholesome qualities, to the attainment of Nibbana. He rigorously restrains himself from everything detrimental to these aims. Sakka had one more question about mind training: "How do bhikkhus control their senses?" Again the Buddha spoke of avoiding whatever leads to evil while cultivating the positive, this time referring to all kinds of objects â forms, sounds, odors, tastes, tactile objects, and ideas. This is a basic Dhamma theme: always avoid unwholesome actions while one works to create wholesome kamma. Sakka wanted to take full advantage of his lengthy audience with the Blessed One, so he embarked on another series of queries. These deal with the variety of religious teachers he had seen in the world. Even a deva can be confused by the range of doctrines taught by "holy" people. He genuinely sought to learn: (1) if these teachers all taught the same thing, and (2) if they are all liberated. How often do we hear today, "All paths lead to the same goal," or "All spiritual teachings are the same beneath their superficial differences." But the Buddha, the Fully Self-Awakened One, replied negatively to both of Sakka's questions. He explained that spiritual teachers do not all teach the same thing because they have different perceptions of the truth. From this it logically follows that they cannot all be fully liberated. Proclaiming where true liberation lies, the Buddha instructed Sakka that only those "who are liberated by the destruction of craving are fully proficient, freed from the bonds, perfect in the holy life." When evaluating spiritual teachers, bear in mind that liberation means destroying desire. Sakka approved of the Buddha's statement and remarked that passion pulls beings to repeated rebirth in happy or unhappy circumstances. Sakka was so at ease with his Teacher that he then related a story which shows an unexpected aspect of deity-human relationships. Long ago he had gone to various human ascetics for advice on these matters with utterly unilluminating results. None of the yogis that Sakka had hoped to learn from had told him anything. In fact, as soon as they realized he was the king of the devas, one and all decided to become his disciples. Ironically, Sakka found himself in the awkward position of having to tell them what little Dhamma he understood at the time. They had no teachings to give him. Sakka had been delighted with this whole conversation. He declared that it had given him a unique happiness and satisfaction "conducive to dispassion, detachment, cessation, peace, higher knowledge, enlightenment, Nibbana." This was the direction he had longed to travel, literally for ages. He had at last made substantial progress with the guidance of the Blessed One. Inviting Sakka to delve further into his mental processes, the Buddha then asked him what thoughts contribute to this great satisfaction. In his final reply, Sakka declared he was joyful because he foresaw six facts about his future: (1) As king of the devas he had gained "fresh potency of life." (2) At the end of this life, he would mindfully choose where to be reborn, in a human or higher realm. (3) In that future life too, he would follow the Buddha-Dhamma with wisdom, clear comprehension, and mindfulness. (4) He might attain arahantship in that existence. (5) But if not, he would become a non-returner (anagami) and, after dying there, be reborn in the highest Pure Abode. (6) Finally Sakka knew that that existence would be his last; before it ended he would become an arahant.[8] The king of the devas then spoke a verse in gratitude to the Buddha: "I've seen the Buddha, and my doubts Are all dispelled, my fears are allayed, And now to the Enlightened One I pay Homage due, to him who's drawn the dart Of craving, to the Buddha, peerless Lord, Mighty hero, kinsman of the Sun!" The sutta then indicates that Sakka gained the stainless "vision of the Dhamma" by which he became a stream-enterer. All his uncertainties about the path to final awakening had been dispelled by the Buddha's masterly replies to his questions, and his own past merits bore their proper fruit. There is another discourse with Sakka as questioner (MN 37). It is set later on, at the monastery built by the woman lay devotee Visakha for the Buddha in Savatthi. This time Sakka asked the Buddha: "How in brief is a bhikkhu liberated by the destruction of craving... one who is foremost among gods and humans?" In reply, the Buddha summarized the sequence that leads a bhikkhu to liberation: "A bhikkhu has heard that nothing is worth adhering to. When a bhikkhu has heard that nothing is worth adhering to, he directly knows everything... he fully understands everything... whatever feeling he feels, whether pleasant or painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant, he abides contemplating impermanence in those feelings, contemplating fading away, contemplating cessation, contemplating relinquishment. Contemplating thus, he does not cling to anything in the world. When he does not cling he is not agitated... he personally attains Nibbana. He understands 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.'" The cycle of dependent origination (paticca-samuppada) explains that contact leads to feeling which in turn conditions craving, and craving causes clinging, which leads to rebirth and suffering. So by contemplating feeling and by seeing it as impermanent, unsatisfactory, and non-self, the bhikkhu gives up all craving and clinging. That is Nibbana here and now. Delighted, Sakka paid respects to the Buddha and returned to the Tavatimsa deva plane |
