Devadaha Sutta with Bro Charlie Chia on 25th Sept
September 22, 2009 by admin
Filed under Announcements, Dhamma Talks, General
In the Devadaha sutta, Buddha refuted the teaching of the Niganthas, that whatsoever the individual experience, it comes from former actions. The sutta also gives ten beliefs of the Niganthas, which, the Buddha says, are to be condemned. In contrast to these, ten statements are made respecting the Tathagata, which are intrinsically true about Kamma and how to end pain and suffering.

Friday Sutta Study with Uncle Vijaya: Paticca-samuppada
September 8, 2009 by admin
Filed under Announcements, Dhamma Talks
Event : Sutta Study with Uncle Vijaya
Date : 11 September 2009 Friday
Time : 8pm -10pm
Brief outline of the sutta : Paticca Samuppada
A key concept in Buddhism, variously translated—e.g. ‘dependent origination’, ‘conditioned genesis’, ‘interconnected arising’, ‘causal nexus’. It states that all physical and mental manifestations which constitute individual appearances are interdependent and condition or affect one another, in a constant process of arising (samudaya) and ceasing to be (nirodha). The analysis is laid out in, e.g., Samyutta Nikaya 2. 1–133 and Digha Nikaya 2. 55–71. The ‘knitting-together’ which constructs appearances and activities in the realm of samsara is the twelve-link (nidana) chain of paticca-samuppada, which leads inevitably to entanglement and dukkha (the cessation of dukkha being the unravelling of the chain in reverse order): (i) ignorance, avidya leads to (ii) constructing activities, samskara, to (iii) consciousness leading into another appearance/birth, vijñana, to (iv) nama-rupa, name and form of a new appearance, to (v) the sense awareness of the six object realms, to (vi) contact with those environments, to (vii) sensation and feeling, vedana (see SKANDHA), to (viii) craving, tanha, to (ix) clinging on to life and further life in a new womb, upadana, to (x) further becoming and appearance, bhava, to (xi) birth, jati, to (xii) old age, senility, and death.
