Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dharma or the Religion of Enlightenment an Exposition of Buddhism Dharma means truth, especially religious truth, or briefly, religion. The Dharma taught by the Buddha (the Enlightened One) and held by the Sangha (the Buddhist Brotherhood) is formulated in four statements, called "the four noble truths." The first noble truth is on the existence of suffering. Birth is suffering, old age is suffering, disease is suffering, and death is suffering. Sad it is to be joined with that which we abhor. Sad is the separation from that which we love, and sad is the craving for that which cannot be obtained. The second noble truth is on the origin of suffering. The origin of suffering is desire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new edition of one of the little manuals of Buddhism which Dr. Carus has published at intervals for several years, and of which his "Gospel of Buddha" is probably the best known. The Dharma, which means "The Law," is not a continuous narrative, but a selection of characteristic excerpts, such as the Noble Eightfold Path, the Four Noble Truths, and similar passages, many of which Dr. Carus has turned into verse. We confess, though perhaps ours is a minority view, that we prefer the most literal prose translation in all such works. But it seems that Dr. Carus has been somewhat oppressed with the baldness and dryness of the Pali Buddhist books. It has always seemed to us that most of these books should be compared, not with the books of the New Testament, but with the brain-spun treatises of the medieval Schoolmen; they all show that they have passed through the minds of dried-up ecclesiastics, and we must seek for the source of the religious enthusiasm which made Buddhism a great missionary religion, elsewhere than in these almost algebraic treatises. We are inclined to take exception to Dr. Carus' description of the Vedanta, and especially the Upanishads, as "Brahmanism." Real Brahmanism consisted of the Vedic sacrificial system, lined by ancestorworship. The Upanishads, as they themselves tell us, convey the teaching, not of the Brahmans, but of the Rajputs, and sharply attack the Brahmanical system. So does the Bhagavad Gita, which declares itself to be the doctrine of "the Rajput sages." Buddhism is the third Rajput revelation, and only to be understood in connection with its two predecessors. After all, it seems to us that Edwin Arnold's "Light of Asia" remains, far the truest Western presentation of the religion of "Siddhartha the Compassionate." C.

Download or read book The Nature of Enlightenment written by P. F. Martin and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nature of Enlightenment is a book that shatters the mold of Western religion by challenging what our common definition of religion is and the nature of its practice. P.F. Martin teaches from profound experience arising from over 30 years of unceasing Chan and Zen practice by stating that true enlightenment practice is the highest form of empiricism and cannot be imported into the West just as much as it cannot be totally fabricated in a culture that has been subjected to religious dogma for over a thousand years. There is a pervasive sense of urgency throughout this work. For the first time in recorded history, humanity has the ever-escalating means of self-destruction, and Western mind in the form of science and engineering has been the initial portal of this ominous ability. While embracing science and engineering as essential human tools, Mr. Martin investigates the underlying assumptions that stand them apart from the greatest good for humanity and offers a path that these great disciplines may work in compassionate harmony for the benefit of all of humankind. As an integral part of the work, authentic Dhyana (Chan or Zen) Buddhist practices are introduced from a detailed empirical illumination of the nature of the senses, affliction, thought and volition. Such topics as sudden and gradual enlightenment, hua-tou (koan) practice, samadhi, the authenticity of transmission, finding and working with a master teacher, the difference between Chan and Zen practices, divergent teachings and the practice of ongoing realization are examined in detail. Whether you are just entering a path of enlightenment or have been practicing for decades, The Nature of Enlightenment is an essential addition to your library.
Download or read book THE THIRTY SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF ENLIGHTENMENT written by Translated by Norman Yuan and published by 慈濟人文出版社. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I am very impressed by Dharma Master Cheng Yen.'-- Thich Nhat Hanh 'Dharma Master Cheng Yen is a role model for us all.'--Dalai Lama The Thirty-Seven Principles of Enlightenment contains 7 parts: (1) The Four Right Efforts, (2) The Four Steps Towards Obtaining Supernatural Powers, (3) The Four Considerations, (4) The Five Roots, (5) The Five Strengths, (6) The Seven Factors of Wisdom, and (7) The Noble Eightfold Path. The Buddha reminded us to practice the Thirty-Seven Principles to Enlightenment, which tells us the way to live a wholesome life. We must have right views and correct belief, think in a wholesome way, and earn our living honesty. When we are inspired to do good and serve as a bodhisattva, it takes just the slightest setback to upset us and make us afflicted. Then, we want to quit. When we start to have the intention and conviction to do good, very quickly, our faith in what we're doing wavers and we lose our conviction. It's all because we're upset, or we resent others for not treating us well. So, we really have to be on guard against this and always be vigilant to stop ourselves from developing such a wrong mentality. We need to always check to see whether our good intentions have changed, whether we've slackened or stopped, and whether our convictions are gone. Then we need to ask ourselves whether we have, unintentionally, injured people and made them lose their good intentions or convictions. The Thirty-Seven Principles of Enlightenment teaches us to reflect and realize how the body is unclean, realize that feelings cause suffering, realize our thoughts are impermanent, and realize that all phenomena are empty of a true, permanent self. We must be cautious in all we do. We have to take good care of our heart and mind and stay true to our Buddha nature by removing any wrong that has already started, preventing any wrong from starting, beginning doing good deeds, and continuing to do good deeds. We must never postpone doing good deeds or put off correcting our wrongs because regret is too high a price to pay. We must avoid all that is wrong and do all that is good and wholesome because life is too short. Like the morning dew drop that disappears once the sun rises, life is as fleeting as a dream, and as fragile as a bubble. Since our life is so transient, we should apply such truth in our daily life and think in seconds and not years. A day is made up of 86,400 seconds. Life changing incident can happen any second that means the difference between life and death. To be safe and well at each second, we ought to be very grateful. At every passing second, let us harbor a heart of gratitude and prevent our thoughts from going astray. The Buddha's teachings are a wonderful guide especially when we live in turbulent times and natural disasters are happening at an alarming rate. The Buddha wanted everyone to realize the truth of suffering, its cause and the way to eliminate it, and He exhorted all to faithfully uphold and walk the Eightfold Path. Let us not rely only on knowledge to guide us in life, but wisdom too. When we do what is right, we are using our wisdom. When we refrain from doing what is wrong, we are also using our wisdom. We should learn quickly. That will be a true blessing.
Download or read book Evolving Dharma written by Jay Michaelson and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A no-nonsense guide to the evolution of meditation, mindfulness, and enlightenment in modern-day society—from their religious origins in the East to their more secular incarnations in the West Evolving Dharma is the definitive guide to the meditation revolution. Fearless, unorthodox, and irreverent scholar and activist Jay Michaelson shows how meditation and mindfulness have moved from ashrams and self-help groups to classrooms and hospitals, and offers unusually straight talk about the “Big E”— enlightenment. Michaelson introduces us to maverick brain hackers, postmodern Buddhist monks, and cutting-edge neuroscientists and shares his own stories of months-long silent retreats, powerful mystical experiences, and many pitfalls along the way. Evolving Dharma is a must-read for the next-generation meditator, the spiritually cynical, and the curious adventurer in all of us.
