Pali Term: pāṇātipāta
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...

Re: Brahm's Basic Method of Meditation
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...

Re: Bhikkhuni Ordination performed - by Ajahn Brahmavamso

Re: The universe is without a refuge, without a Supreme God.
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...

Re: Dhammika Sutta - Uposatha and other special days
Thanks a lot, Retro!
