Re: Revisiting The Buddha's Ethnicity
The ethnicity (or skin colour) of the Buddha is certainly not an issue at all for those who follow the Dharma (such as the four noble truths). But if considering the various cultural aspects of early Buddhist history, one may be interested in the ethnicity of the Buddhism founder, the Buddha. Accor...

Re: What is a dhammā exactly?
SN 55.28-29 and their counterparts SA 845-846 provide information on the specific contents of Dhamma and morality (sīla), which are the second and fourth of the four qualities, i.e. Buddha, Dhamma, Saṅgha, Sīla in the teachings of Stream-entry: The Sotāpatti Saṃyutta of SN/SA. Regarding the content ...

Re: What is a dhammā exactly?
I am unable to see the Gethin’s argument on Dhamma is the Buddha Dhamma at all (particularly based on the core teachings of SN/SA suttas).

Re: Ahara Sutta, Son's Flesh
Pulsar wrote SN 47 is the Satipatthana Samyutta. Nevertheless, the content of SN 47.42 is clearly about the arising and cessation of the four ahara s (SA 371-378 = SN 12.11-12, 63-64), not about sati. Saṁyutta Nikāya 47.42. Origination: “Bhikkhus, I will teach you the origination and the passing aw...

Re: Revisiting The Buddha's Ethnicity
All my posts are backed by genetics...Northern Europe has more steppe ancestry than other parts of Europe. What this view has to do with the Buddha's ethnicity? I think the Buddha very likely looks like vasala or caṇḍāla . https://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?p=748791#p748791 So the "lion...

Re: Ahara Sutta, Son's Flesh
SA 373 (三七三) 子肉 如是我聞: 一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四食資益眾生,令得住世攝受長養。云何為四?謂一、麤摶食,二、細觸食,三、意思食,四、識食。 「云何比丘觀察摶食?譬如有夫婦二人,唯有一子,愛念將養,欲度曠野嶮道難處,糧食乏盡,飢餓困極,計無濟理,作是議言:『正有一子,極所愛念,若食其肉,可得度難,莫令在此三人俱死。』作是計已,即殺其子,含悲垂淚,強食其肉,得度曠野。云何?比丘!彼人夫婦共食子肉,寧取其味,貪嗜美樂與不?」 答曰:「不也,世尊!」 復問:「比丘!彼強食其肉,為度曠野嶮道與不?」 答言:「如是,世尊!」 佛告比丘:「凡食摶食,當如是...

Re: Ahara Sutta, Son's Flesh
The practice of sati in SN/SA suttas is mainly about 'awareness' (sampajana). See SA 622 = SN 47.2 (pp. 215-6 in The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism ). Regarding the above-mentioned sati practice in SN/SA suttas, see the PDF whole section pp. 215-218 below. Note: SA 622 presents 'awareness'...
