GOOD, EVIL AND BEYOND
KAMMA IN THE BUDDHA’S TEACHING
by Bhikkhu P. A. Payutto
translated by Bruce Evans

The work presented here is based on a single chapter from

Buddhadhamma, by Venerable P. A. Payutto. Buddhadhamma is perhaps the author’s most formal and ambitious book to date, a volume of over one thousand pages dealing with the whole of the Buddha’s teaching. Although the work is scholarly in approach, it renders the Buddhist themes so often misunderstood or considered beyond the scope of the ordinary layman more approachable in practical terms.

The venerable author is one of the foremost Buddhist scholars in Thailand today. His vast output of material ranges from simple explanations of basic Buddhist themes to more substantial Dhamma teachings of a commentarial nature (such as Buddhadhamma) and social analyses from a Buddhist perspective (such as Buddhist Economics). Venerable Payutto is unusually gifted in this regard, having had experience of both Eastern and Western cultures in the course of his scholastic and teaching careers. This, combined with an inquiring mind, exhaustive research, and an intuitive understanding of rare scope, gives the venerable author an outstanding position from which to present the Buddha’s teaching.

Gifts He Left Behind
The Dhamma Legacy of Ajaan Dune Atulo
compiled by Phra Bodhinandamuni
translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu


Many people have asked for Luang Pu's Dhamma talks, out of a desire to read them or listen to them, and I have to confess frankly that Luang Pu's Dhamma talks are extremely rare. This is because he never gave any formal sermons or discoursed at any great length. He simply taught meditation, admonished his students, answered questions, or discussed the Dhamma with other elder monks. He would speak in a way that was brief, careful, and to the point. In addition, he never gave sermons at formal ceremonies.

So in response to the desire and interest that many people have shown in Luang Pu's Dhamma, I have compiled this book of his short teachings — pure truths at the highest level, lessons and admonishments he gave his students, answers to questions, and passages from the Buddha's words in the Canon that he always liked to quote. Because I lived for a long time with him, to the end of his days, I have gathered these passages from memory or from notes in my journal. I have also included the events, locations, and people who were involved, to help make the passages easier to understand and more inviting to read.

Buddhanussati, one of the four protective meditation, is recollections of the qualities of the Buddha, namely, araham (the perfect one who has eliminated all the defilements, or someone who has reached the state of great purity and perfection), Sammasambuddho (fully enlightened), Vijjacarana-sampanno (impeccable in conduct and understanding), Sugato (well farer), Lokavidu (the knower of the worlds), Anuttaro purisadamma-sarathi (who is unrivalled in taming those who are untamed), Sattha deva-manussanam (teacher of gods and humans), buddho (awake) and bhagava (the Blessed One).

His longing for this

& for the next world

can’t be found;

free from longing, unshackled:

he’s what I call

a brahman.

So I have heard. At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are impermanent.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they’re freed, they know they’re freed.

They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’”

SN 22.12 : Aniccasutta

His attachments,

his homes,

can’t be found.

He, through knowing,

is unperplexed,

has gained a footing

in the Deathless:

he’s what I call

a brahman.

Fundamentals of Buddhism
By Dr. Peter D. Santina


Buddhism has long been an important part of the cultural heritage of South East Asia. monuments of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Borobudur in Indonesia are just two of countless testimonies to the former greatness of Buddhism in this region. In Singapore too Buddhism is an important element in the cultural heritage of the people.

The fact that a large section of the Chinese Community as well as the small but influential Srilankan Community acknowledge Buddhism as the primary force shaping their religious ideals and moral values is more than proof of this. Nonetheless, it is certain that if Buddhism is to continue to exercise a positive influence upon present and future generations, it cannot remain content with the achievements of the past. The religious ideals and moral values of Buddhism which have proved so useful to past generations must be transmitted to men and women living in a changing world. In order that this can be accomplished, it is important that the teachings of the Buddha be made available to the largest number of people.

With this objective in mind, the Srilankaramaya Buddhist Temple invited Dr Santina to deliver a series of public lectures. The lectures outlined the fundamentals of Buddhism and were well delivered. As a result, it was decided to produce trannoscriptions of the lectures and publish them in the form of a book to be made freely available. It is also hoped that the publication will contribute in a small degree to the understanding of the genuine teachings of the Buddha.

=============

Please, Kālāmas, don’t go by oral transmission, don’t go by lineage, don’t go by testament, don’t go by canonical authority, don’t rely on logic, don’t rely on inference, don’t go by reasoned train of thought, don’t go by the acceptance of a view after deliberation, don’t go by the appearance of competence, and don’t think ‘The ascetic is our respected teacher.’ But when you know for yourselves: ‘These things are skillful, blameless, praised by sensible people, and when you undertake them, they lead to welfare and happiness’, then you should acquire them and keep them.
