Are you looking for a Theravada statue?

Thank you. No, I was just curious aboout these ones (and I am a member of this forum and not Dharma Wheel). But if you know any commercially used Theravada statues the links are all welcome.

Thanks a lot!

And THIS one?

Hi, Everyone, I'd like to ask for your kind help with finding out what kind of Buddha statue is to be seen on THIS video. Is it from a Theravada land? Is it Sakyamuni (or maybe Amitabha)? I do not mean to hurt anyone' with this question, I just could not find a topic where to post this + you surely ...

Hi, Everyone, This phrase is usually translated as 'harming/killing living beings', pāṇin interpreted as 'living being'. My question is if it can refer to a more specific group of 'living beings' for the word itself means (or could mean some time ago) 'breathing entity'. Is there any text (sutta, vi...

I have been also wondering why Ajahn Brahm teaches awareness of the present moment before awareness of the breath, while awareness of the present moment seems to be the goal of awareness of the breath. My guess is, that it is a practical tool to make the meditator used to all the wanderings of the m...

Has been useful (up to now), finding many people (mostly through the FaceBook page) who think of theravada (monastic and lay), social issues (getting involved or not), Aj Brahm etc. simillarly to how I do. A good friend is not only the half of holy life...

I came accross this remark "May I draw your attention to the Sudatta sutta (SN 10.8) in which Buddha teaches the young Anathapindada (or Anathapindika) on creation and creator. Here he’s more than specific: no Creator, no Creation. The Sudatta sutta is part of the Small Vehicle Pali, Agama, and...

Thanks a lot, Retro!

The text comes from a sutta, so the best would be an early Buddhist context.

Thank you for your extremely fast reply. :woohoo: The precepts themselves are in the sutta as well. My question is more about the celebration of these days. What does it mean the 14th, 15th and 8th. The day before and/or after the half moon & full moon nights? What about this "half month&qu...

Dear Dhamma Wheel Readers/Writers, There is a sentence in the Snp 2.14 Dhammika Sutta ( http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/snp/snp.2.14.irel.html ) which puzzles me. Could you please explain what these special days are (e.g. what the difference is between "uposatha" and the "h...
