Sutta on methods of sense restraint?
Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 10:33 pm
Hello daverupa and Cittasanto,
Many thanks for your kind help with my thread Engllish translation of SN20.10/10 Biḷārasuttaṃ ? (http://dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=11503" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). Is "upaṭṭhitāya satiyā" translated as "mindfulness established" or "unremitting mindfulness established"? Would the established mindfulness refer to one of the four mindfulness, likely mindfulness of body (postures/activities or breathing)? If so, in this sutta the Buddha taught us an actual method how to restrain the senses during daily activities.
Question to all friends:
Are there other suttas where the Buddha taught actual method(s) on how to practice sense restraint, in addition to mindfulness of postures/activities and focusing on the drawbacks of sense objects?
Metta to all!
