Book excerpt: Gotama Buddha's teachings are not based in belief. His teachings need to be learned and practiced with guidance so that you can independently observe the truth in his teachings to acquire wisdom. It is this new found wisdom that the mind starts to gradually function in the world differently to attain a peaceful, calm, serene, and content mind with joy....the Enlightened mind.Since everything we do is experienced through the mind if the mind is peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy, one will experience a life that is also peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy.Attaining Enlightenment, also known as Nibbana, is a mind that has attained peace, calm, serenity, and contentedness with joy that is permanent. The mind can be trained to completely eliminate such discontent feelings as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, loneliness, boredom, shyness, jealousy, and all other negative feelings that cause the mind to be discontent and experience suffering.This book, "Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Nibbana" provides the reader in-depth teachings and guidance to walk The Path to Enlightenment. Resources are provided, at no cost, that sync up with this book to allow the reader the opportunity to more fully explore these teachings through Youtube Videos, Podcasts, Online Courses, In-Person Courses/Retreats, and an Online Community where you can seek guidance in learning and practicing these teachings directly from the author of this book.This book is well suited for beginning through to advanced practitioners to learn and practice the teachings of "The Buddha" to include developing a meditation practice as taught by Gotama Buddha. It is a book that you will read and re-read countless times as a guide on The Path to Enlightenment and you will have the ability to seek clarification of the teachings directly from the author at no cost.

If you have practiced meditation for a while and are looking for a clear path to liberation-Nibbāna, this book may have the information you seek. I have been on this journey most of my adult life. Unfortunately, I often felt like I was walking in a circle, without a clear path to my end goal. This is all too common among people who try meditating, perhaps relying on advice from books, YouTube, or the internet. This story has a happy ending for me: liberation-Nibbāna-eternal bliss. I hope this book helps you find freedom, peace, and the happiness of liberation-Nibbāna in this life.

Download or read book After Buddhism written by Stephen Batchelor and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some twenty-five centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts? Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha’s teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age. After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen, and Theravada traditions, is his attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach. Combining critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha’s inner circle, Batchelor depicts the Buddha as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician. He envisions Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening whose long survival is due to its capacity to reinvent itself and interact creatively with each society it encounters. This original and provocative book presents a new framework for understanding the remarkable spread of Buddhism in today’s globalized world. It also reminds us of what was so startling about the Buddha’s vision of human flourishing.
Download or read book Practising the Dhamma with a View to Nibb na written by Radhika Abeysekera and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is divided into two parts that I have called "THE WHY" and "THE HOW". Part I shows you WHY you should practise the Dhamma with a view to Nibbana. It is designed to make you understand how rare is the appearance of a Buddha and how very fortunate you are to be born at a time when the teachings of a Buddha are available. It also shows you how difficult and rare it is to be born as a human being. It is designed to encourage you to strive on with diligence and concentrated, continuous effort. Part II concentrates on "HOW" one practises the Dhamma with a view to Nibbana. Once you have realized the urgency of practising the Dhamma, it is important to know how to practise the Dhamma with a view to Nibbana. "THE HOW" begins by introducing you to Nibbana and the characteristics that must be destroyed to attain it, and then goes on to show how one destroys or eradicates each of these characteristics. It is designed to introduce the reader to the practice of the Dhamma with a view to enlightenment."--Author's preface

Download or read book In the Hope of Nibbana written by Winston King and published by Pariyatti Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words “in the hope of nibbana” are often found printed on invitations to anniversaries or festival meals, sent by the Burmese to their friends. Early in the morning, monks are fed, followed by other invited friends who arrive for a good social meal together. All of this is done, as the invitation reassures, “in the hope of nibbana”. Thus does the ordinary Buddhist, himself far from nibbana, honor those who are striving, humbly hoping that his modest charitable efforts will somehow by the process of kammic multiplication add up to a nibbanic sum in the end. Such words characterize the Buddhist ethical endeavor.In the Hope of Nibbana offers a glimpse into the process of a "religion" and a culture struggling to align ethical values with the realities of the modern world. Buddhism is deeply woven into the fabric of life in Burma, now called Myanmar, and the country's insular history has made it an ideal place to experience Buddhism's influence on a culture and people.

Download or read book The Selfless Mind written by Peter Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This careful analysis of early Buddhist thought opens out a perspective in which no permanent Self is accepted, but a rich analysis of changing and potent mental processes is developed. It explores issues relating to the not-Self teaching: self-development, moral responsibility, the between-lives period, and the 'undetermined questions' on the world, on the 'life principle' and on the liberated one after death. It examines the 'person' as a flowing continuity centred on consciousness or discernment (vinnana) configured in changing minds-sets (cittas). The resting state of this is seen as 'brightly shining' - like the 'Buddha nature' of Mahayana thought - so as to represent the potential for Nirvana. Nirvana is then shown to be a state in which consciousness transcends all objects, and thus participates in a timeless, unconditioned realm.
