Building Bridges for the Buddha
By Bhante Shravasti Dhammika
Some years ago while visiting my younger brother in France he, his family and I made a day trip to the small town of Vaison-la-Romaine in the south-east of the country. The river that divides the town is spanned by a bridge built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, the first Roman bridge I have ever seen. This remarkable structure still takes traffic just as it has done for 2000 years, remarkable evidence of the skill of Roman engineering. The bridge got me thinking along these lines – Roman, Chinese and Islamic cultures were all bridge-building civilizations, but what about the civilizations shaped by Buddhism? Is it true, as is often said, that while some religions encouraged social engagement Buddhism acted as a damper to such impulses, or at least did nothing to encourage them. I knew that in the Samyutta Nikaya the Buddha said; “Those who would lay out a park or an orchard, construct a bridge, a place to drink, dig a well, or build a shelter, their merit always increases by day and by night. Established in Dhamma and endowed with virtue, they will go to heaven.” Of course I also knew that in the Jataka the Bodhisattva is said to have repaired roads, dug wells along wilderness thoroughfares, constructed bridges and established rest houses for the benefit of travellers. But did these words have any impact on later generations?

Chapter 12
Atta Vagga
The Self
(Text and Translation by Ven. Nàrada)
1. Attànao ce piyam jaññà
rakkheyya nam surakkhitam
Tiuuam aññataram yàmam
pañijaggeyya paudito. 157.
BE VIGILANT
1. If one holds oneself 1 dear, one should protect oneself well. During every one of the three watches the wise man should keep vigil. 157.
Story
A royal couple was childless. The Buddha declared that their childlessness was due to their not having led a harmless and heedful life in a previous birth. Advising them to be vigilant, He uttered this verse.

The Buddha said this:
“Mendicants, if wanderers of other religions were to ask: ‘Reverends, all things have what as their root? What produces them? What is their origin? What is their meeting place? What is their chief? What is their ruler? What is their overseer? What is their core?’ You should answer them: ‘Reverends, all things are rooted in desire. They are produced by application of mind. Contact is their origin. Feeling is their meeting place. Immersion is their chief. Mindfulness is their ruler. Wisdom is their overseer. Freedom is their core.’ When questioned by wanderers of other religions, that’s how you should answer them.”
Partial excerpts from AN 8.83 Mūlakasutta: Rooted

The Deliverance of the Heart Through Universal Love
Metta-cetovimutti
By Bhikkhu Katukurunde Nanananda
The deliverance of the heart through mettā made known by the Buddha is a simple meditation, which even a child can practice. A child yet unfamiliar with the conventional names of directions could radiate the six directions with mettā as ‘in front’ and ‘behind’, ‘to the left’ and ‘to the right’ and ‘above’ and ‘below’, or else simpler still, as ‘above, below and around’ (‘uddhaṁ adho ca tiriyañcā’). The Buddha’s advice is that all men, women and children should practice this Deliverance of the Heart through universal love.

2. Attànam eva pañhamam
patãrupe nivesaye
Ath'aññam anusàseyya
na kilisseyya paudito. 158.
ADVISERS SHOULD SET THE EXAMPLE FIRST
2. Let one first establish oneself in what is proper, and then instruct others. Such a wise man will not be defiled. 2 158.
Story
A greedy monk who was a good preacher went from monastery to monastery, preaching the Dhamma and greedily gathering the gifts offered to him. One day two young monks could not divide between themselves two robes and a costly blanket. This greedy preacher settled the dispute by giving a robe to either of them and himself taking the blanket. The matter was reported to the Buddha. Thereupon the Buddha spoke on the desirability of the advisers themselves setting the example first.
