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.

3. Attànam ce tathà kayirà
yathaññamanusàsati
Sudanto vata dammetha
attà hi kira duddamo. 159.
ACT AS YOU INSTRUCT
3. As he instructs others so should he himself act. Himself fully controlled, he should control (others); for oneself, indeed, is difficult to control. 159.
Story
A monk advised others to practise meditation with earnestness, but he himself was heedless, sleeping in the night as he liked. The Buddha advised instructors to act according to their own instruction.

Nibbana From Every Angle
By Bhikkhu Buddhadasa
“Today, we’ll take a comprehensive look at nibbāna and try to build some understanding of this commonly misunderstood concept. To keep it brief we can limit ourselves to just two main points: the nibbāna that the ordinary individual knows, and that which they don’t. ‘Ordinary individual’ refers to everyday people, those with an everyday level of learning. Putting it bluntly, there’s the nibbāna the ignorant know, and there’s the nibbāna that they don’t know. The first kind, which everyday people know about, is the nibbāna which has almost no meaning at all and isn’t really the concern of Buddhism.”

“Mendicants, in some past lives the Realized One was reborn as a human being. ... Due to performing those deeds he was reborn in a heavenly realm. When he came back to this place he obtained this mark: he is golden colored; his skin shines like lustrous gold.
On this it is said:
“Fixated on good will, he gave gifts. In an earlier life he poured forth cloth fine and soft to touch, like a god pouring rain on this broad earth.
So doing he passed from here to heaven, where he enjoyed the fruits of deeds well done. Here he wins a figure shining like honey-yellow gold, like Indra, the finest of gods.
If that man stays in the house, not wishing to go forth, he conquers and rules this vast, broad earth. He obtains abundant excellent cloth, so fine and soft to touch.
He receives robes, cloth, and the finest garments. if he chooses the life gone forth. For he still partakes of past deed’s fruit; what’s been done is never lost.”
Partial excerpts from DN 30 : Pathikavagga
