Dana and benefits of Generosity

Dana is the first of practice under the 10 Perfections (Parami) and which assist in our practice as a Buddhist. It is not a virtue exclusive to Buddhism, as all other religions approve of generosity as something worthy of practice.
The practice of dana is directly related to the law of kamma. The Buddha had said:

Bhikkhus,
If beings knew as I know the fruit (vipaka) of giving gifts
(danasamvibhagassa), they would not eat without having given, nor would
the taint of stinginess obsess their mind and stay there.

Even if it were their last bite, their last morsel of food, they would not eat
of it without giving a gift, if there were anyone to receive it.

Dhamma for Everyone

Dhamma for Everyone
October 5, 1960
by
Ajaan Lee Dhammadharo
(Phra Suddhidhammaransi Gambhiramedhacariya)
Translated from the Thai by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Source: Transcribed from a file provided by the translator.
Copyright © 2003 Metta Forest Monastery
Access to Insight edition © 2003

Now I'm going to remind you of some of the Buddha's teachings as a way of encouraging you to be intent on practicing correctly in line with the Buddha's instructions. These teachings are called Dhamma. The Dhamma is an ornament for the mind. It's also a means for developing the faculties of the mind. The teachings I'm about to discuss come in the Ovada-Patimokkha, the Patimokkha Exhortation. This is a talk that deals with the duties of those who have ordained in line with the Buddha's instructions, but these practices also apply to lay people as well. Lay people can take these practices and train themselves to be good people, so that they can be eyes and ears, legs, feet, and hands, to help look after the work of the religion and to help it prosper.
These guidelines, which apply to all of us, fall under six headings:

• anupavado - not disparaging
• anupaghato - not injuring
• patimokkhe ca samvaro - restraint in line with the Patimokkha
• mattaññuta ca bhattasmim - moderation in food
• pantañca sayanasanam - dwelling in seclusion
• adhicitte ca ayogo: etam buddhana-sasanam. - commitment to the heightened mind: this is the Buddhas' instruction.

The first guideline: anupavado. Don't go finding fault with one another. In other words, don't say evil things about one another, don't misrepresent one another, don't say anything that will cause people to fall apart from one another. Don't start false reports about one another, and don't encourage them. Don't curse or yell at one another. Instead of finding fault with one another, each of us should look at his or her own faults. This is what's meant by anupavado. You can use this principle anywhere, whether you're ordained or not.

WHERE IS THE BUDDHA?

(By the late Venerable Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda Nayaka Maha Thera. 18th Mar 1919-31st Aug 2006, his last article. The first edition, 31st August 2006 50,000 copies for free distribution)

"................
One day, a Christian priest came to see me with his followers to
discuss about Buddhism and asked, "Actually can you tell me what
Buddhists believe?" Then I told him very frankly that Buddhists do not
'believe' anything. Then he pointed to my book "What Buddhists
Believe" and asked "why did you write this book?" I told him, "That is
why I wrote this book, for you to read it to see whether there is
anything for you to believe." "In that case," he asked, "can you tell
me what Buddhists do?" I told him, the Buddha has given the answer to
that question, Buddha has advised us what to do. Instead of believing,
one must practice pariyatti (learn), patipatti (practice) and pativeda (realize).

There are three ways to practise. First we must try to understand because we must not
blindly believe anything that we cannot understand. The Buddha says
you must first try to understand...................................."

Cultivation of Loving Kindness and Compassion in Daily Life

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are always advised to learn to have love, kindness and compassion towards others, to family members and friends. Further to that, we are also encouraged to show these noble qualities to people we do not know and even to our enemies and also not to forget, towards other beings such as animals.

But how practical is that? How can we overcome the hatred or ill-will feeling and have loving and kind thoughts,speech and action towards others? How do we cultivate loving-kindness and compassion in our daily life when we are dealing with others?

Let us come together and learn more by joining a talk organized by DSG this Wednesday

Compassion & Loving-Kindness

Two very human qualities that are highly regarded in Buddhism are Compassion and Loving-kindness . Together with two other mental qualities, Sympathetic Joy and Equanimity, they are know as the Four Divine Abidings.

The Buddha recommended that we develop these qualities. These attitudes are said to be excellent or sublime because they are the right or ideal way of conduct towards living beings. They provide the answer to all situations arising from social contact. They are the great removers of tension, the great peace-makers in social conflict, and the great healers of wounds suffered in the struggle of existence........

The Blessed Buddha once said:
These six things are to be remembered in order to Unite any Community in Harmony:
Which six?

1: Friendly Behaviour (metta-kaya-kamma=friendly bodily action) both in public and in private.
2: Friendly Speech (metta-vaci-kamma=friendly verbal action) both in public and in private.
3: Friendly Thought (metta-mano-kamma=friendly mental action) both in public and in private.
4: Sharing of Gains (sadharana-bhogi=common wealth) even down to any single lump of food.
5: Moral Harmony (sila-samannagato=uniform morality) all respect the same ethical rules.
6: Harmony in Views (ditthi-samannagato=uniform attitude) all share the same general views.

These 6 things are to be considered & remembered both for individual & social Harmony...

Dhamma Camp

**Below is a publicity of INCOVAR DHAMMA CAMP**


Clarity of Truth, Charity of Joy

Are you busy with commitments, responsibilities and obligations? Has your past achievements, current goals and future plans brought you satisfaction.... or you want more? Happiness - is there a ready answer for it?

In the latest edition of the 25th INCOVAR Dhamma Camp (25IDC), you will be introduced to the essence of the Four Noble Truths - the most fundamental of Buddha's teaching – with the emphasis on understanding what Happiness is.

Well it is through the appreciation of the simplicity in our daily lives that we find the answers. At the heart of a simple life is an emphasis on a harmonious and purposeful living. Being simple in nature will give rise to happiness within oneself, and then share it with others!

Hence the theme of this 25IDC is “Clarity of Truth, Charity of Joy”. It will be held from 29 June – 2 July 2006 in this beautiful Fo Guang Shan Dong Zhen temple in Jenjarom, Selangor.

In the dawn of the 21st century, the centuries-old Buddha's teaching, which is experiential by nature, is becoming ever more practical to us all. You might be thrilled, but we prefer that you just "chill" in the glow of Buddha's insights.
