Re: Which Pagoda or Cetiya contains Lord Buddha's relics?
Xuanzang wrote about various stupas and sites he encountered during his travels. Maybe you could find something useful in there. But I'm guessing a lot of those sites are underground at this point.

Re: Sugar
If you can stop eating sugar cold turkey, do it. But if this proves overly difficult for you, as it has for me, you can try substituting for it. I find a small piece of dark chocolate (70%+) satisfies my craving for dessert while keeping sugar consumption down. Carbonated water substitutes for soda...

Re: I need help with remembering...
My understanding is that the questioner is referring to a Mahayana text not available in the Pali, but rather in the Canon available in Vietnamese. Or it's a practice commentary. If it is in the Pali, then this is a fine place to ask about it.

Re: Kathavatthu
Yes, I've read some of the PTS print edition at my local temple. I could not understand what it was trying to convey. A fully annotated version with historical context would be a great resource for me.

Re: VLOG#29: The Ultimate Comeback Kid
Thank you, Bhante. I'll keep doing research on this. There is another sutta referenced in the video: the Buddha tells a brahmin that the reason for not remembering what was memorized in the past was restlessness and remorse. I'm not sure if the venerable is using standard translations, as searching ...

Re: I need help with remembering...
Thanks for your question. This is not a Mahayana forum. It will not be the best place to get information on the Agamas / sutras. You should ask a respected member of your community for advice on this topic.

Re: Kathavatthu
What specifically did you find useful about this text? I'll be using a print version if I read it again.I find it very interesting and certainly educational. If anyone interested to know how Theravada is different from other Buddhist schools and what orthodox view is, Kathāvatthu is a must.

Sugar
How can one overcome the tendency to eat too much sugar? Usually, I indulge in eating too much sugar because I feel overwhelmed or disappointed.

Thanks. I'm not a bodhisatta and haven't attained ceto-vimutti through metta, but I stand corrected.

Re: Protection against demons in Theravada Buddhism?
And the Theravada teachings don't mention dreams at all really, except for a short part of the Milindapanha. Otherwise, I haven't found anything.I suppose all of them have such ability to affect one's dreams.
