Dipa ma her Life & Teachings!

Post by Bhikkhu Ariyananda »

It is always inspiring to take notes from the True Sangha who had reached awakening

Dipa ma had been a great example of how we can aspire for enlightenment in this very life and achieve it or can we say to be liberated from suffering!

Here is her interview

Pls post more of her videos, links, stories here may it become the cause for awakening in many.

Thank you for sharing. I am amazed by this:
She never tired of reminding her students: “You must practice to know at least one stage of enlightenment. Otherwise you have not made use of your human life.”

There is a website about her life and teachings:
https://dipama.com/about-dipa-ma/

I recommend the book about her life:
https://dipama.com/book/

It was interesting and inspiring to read her biography.

"I heard and learnt this from the Blessed One's own lips: 'When the Bodhisatta came forth from his mother's womb, then a great immeasurable light surpassing the splendor of the gods appeared in the world with its gods, its Maras, and its Brahmas, in this generation with its recluses and brahmins, with its princes and its people. And even in those abysmal world interspaces of vacancy, gloom, and utter darkness, where the moon and the sun, mighty and powerful as they are, cannot make their light prevail - there too a great immeasurable light surpassing the splendor of the gods appeared. And the beings born there perceived each other by that light: "So other beings, indeed, have appeared here." And this ten-thousandfold world system shook and quaked and trembled, and there too a great immeasurable light surpassing the splendor of the gods appeared.' That when the Bodhisatta came forth from his mother's womb, then a great immeasurable light surpassing the splendor of the gods appeared...this too I remember as a wonderful and marvellous quality of the Blessed One."

Buddha: "That being so, Ananda, remember this too as a wonderful and marvellous quality of the Tathagata: Here, Ananda, for the Tathagata feelings are known as they arise, as they are present, as they disappear; perceptions are known as they arise, as they are present, as they disappear; thoughts are known as they arise, as they are present, as they disappear. Remember this too, Ananda, as a wonderful and marvellous quality of the Tathagata."
