the name of the sutra?
Could you tell me the name of the sutra, which explains "listening, thinking, meditating", please.

So if you wanted me to quote one sutta that would be "Adze Handle or the Ship". Or if you wanted me to quote a second sutta that would be "Putramansa" the most dramatic sutta in the canon...
That however does not mention the words "listening, thinking, meditating". But if you did not resort
to such, one would not even comprehend the drama involved in this sutta, a one page sutta
that leads one out of suffering.

One sutra??? I am under the impression whole of Dhamma (Many suttas)the name of the sutra, which explains "listening, thinking, meditating", please.
- is about "listening" also can be interpreted as paying attention,
- thinking, may also be interpreted as Dhammavicaya
and
- meditating (every sutta that contains 8-fold path or ten) since each includes Samma Sati and Samma Samadhi.

Re: the name of the sutra?
I do not know any "sutra" however there is possibly these suttas, among many others:
Thus associating with good persons, becoming full, fills up hearing the good Dhamma. Hearing the good Dhamma, becoming full, fills up faith. Faith, becoming full, fills up careful attention. Careful attention, becoming full, fills up mindfulness and clear comprehension. Mindfulness and clear comprehension, becoming full, fill up restraint of the sense faculties. Restraint of the sense faculties, becoming full, fills up the three kinds of good conduct. The three kinds of good conduct, becoming full, fill up the four establishments of mindfulness. The four establishments of mindfulness, becoming full, fill up the seven factors of enlightenment. The seven factors of enlightenment, becoming full, fill up true knowledge and liberation. Thus there is nutriment for true knowledge and liberation, and in this way they become full.

When he has investigated him and has seen that he is purified from states based on delusion, then he places faith in him; filled with faith he visits him and pays respect to him; having paid respect to him, he gives ear; when he gives ear, he hears the Dhamma; having heard the Dhamma, he memorises it and examines the meaning of the teachings he has memorised; when he examines their meaning, he gains a reflective acceptance of those teachings; when he has gained a reflective acceptance of those teachings, zeal springs up; when zeal has sprung up, he applies his will; having applied his will, he scrutinises; having scrutinised, he strives; resolutely striving, he realises with the body the supreme truth and sees it by penetrating it with wisdom. In this way, Bhāradvāja, there is the discovery of truth; in this way one discovers truth; in this way we describe the discovery of truth. But as yet there is no final arrival at truth.”
“The final arrival at truth, Bhāradvāja, lies in the repetition, development, and cultivation of those same things. In this way, Bhāradvāja, there is the final arrival at truth; in this way one finally arrives at truth; in this way we describe the final arrival at truth.”

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Re: the name of the sutra?
Is there no such matrix in its pure form in the whole Theravada (sutras, abhidhamma, shastras)?
Re: the name of the sutra?
OP asked
Does anyone else know? As for Theravada pure form? do you mean the content of Sutta pitaka? Theravadins consider Sutta Pitaka as based on Buddha's teaching. Is it pure? I have no idea, certainly good enuf to show the way out of suffering.
After so many years of the passing away of the Founder, it is the best we have.
Sutta pitaka's parallels which Mahayanists favor? are very similar to what is in the sutta pitaka, except
sometimes they indicate a minuscule bias, based on the folks who compiled those.
Let me ask you "Is there such a matrix in its pure form in the whole Mahayana (sutras, abhidhamma, shastras)?
I am just curious.
Be Well

Re: the name of the sutra?
Shastra is a Sanskrit word meaning "precept, rules, manual, compendium, book or treatise" in a general sense. The word is generally used as a suffix for technical or specialized knowledge in Indian literature. In this sense, there are many Theravada commentaries that could be called shastras if you were using Sanskrit. I don't know what general term, if any, is used in Pali
Re: the name of the sutra?
It appears u disapproved of my answer? Were not the suttas I quoted suitable?

Isn't it weird that the word hearing is used here instead of "listening to"?

Re: the name of the sutra?
No... he gives ear (sotaṃ odahat), he hears the Dhamma...
Let those with ears to hear decide their faith.

Their disciples do want to listen. They pay attention and apply their minds to understand. They don’t proceed having turned away from the teacher’s instruction.
Tassa sāvakā sussūsanti, sotaṃ odahanti, aññā cittaṃ upaṭṭhapenti, na ca vokkamma satthusāsanā vattanti.

Re: the name of the sutra?
I think you may be referring to:-
(1) wisdom through listening/learning - sutamaya paññā
(2) wisdom through thinking - cintāmaya paññā
(3) wisdom through meditation - bhāvanāmaya paññā
Saṅgītisutta
Aparāpi tisso paññā
Another three kinds of wisdom:
cintāmayā paññā, sutamayā paññā, bhāvanāmayā paññā.
— wisdom produced by thought, learning, and meditation.
A true master of knowledge has passed beyond all that is known and become dispassionate towards all vedanās.

Re: the name of the sutra?
Does listening generate thinking and thinking generate meditation? Or does listening generate wisdom through listening? Then what is this wisdom through listening?skandha wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 11:42 amI think you may be referring to:-
