Buddhadhammasanghaguna - Virtues Of The Triple Gem - MN7 Excerpt

6/26/2012

0 Comments

 
One gains confirmed confidence in the Buddha through reflecting upon him in this way - Thus it is declaired that he, the fortunate, worthy, Completely Upright Enlightened One; is accomplished in conduct & understanding; happy; Knower of the World; Without a superior; Guiding those who are to be trained; Teacher of divine and human beings; awake & fortunate.

One gains confirmed confidence in the trachings through reflecting upon them in this way - The Dhamma is taught well by the Fortunate One; Visible here and now; Not pertinent to any one time; Open for all to test; Leading to nibbana; To be understood individually by wise people.

One gains confirmed confidence in the Sangha through reflecting upon them in this way - The Fortunate One’s assembly of disciples are those who have thoroughly entered upon the path; The Fortunate One’s assembly of disciples are those who have reaching for the straight path; The Fortunate One’s assembly of disciples are those who have following the right method; The Fortunate One’s assembly of disciples are those who have entered the proper course - That is the four pairs & eight kinds of noble being - These are the Fortunate One’s assembly of disciples. They are worthy of offerings; Worthy of hospitality; Worthy of gifts; And ought to be respected; as they are the best place where skilful qualities can be found in the world.

    Please read translations by other translators who are far more skilled in the Pali language such as Thanissaro Bhikkhu (Ajahn Geoff) or Ven. Bhikkhu Bhodhi.

    Current Projects

    The Dhammapada -
    I started this project a little while ago, although it was mainly Gathas used in chanting, or for Calligraphy Projects.

    Apart from these I have finished the first 15 chapters. Updates with translations being done both in general and specific projects will be shared on the calendar.
