Dhammas Relative Arising Phenomena-1 – Anagarika_Tevijjo

Most modern-day philosophers and scientists would be reluctant to accept that the Buddha and his followers (both in the Buddhist era and in later commentaries) had explained and clarified the causal dependent arising of all conditioned phenomena, for the simple reason that the cause and effect explanations and relations outlined in the Abhidhamma wholly transcend the logical and rational capacity of the methodology of modern science.

In this compendium of related-articles on the dhammas and arising phenomena, we shall be quoting from a number of erudite authors and scholars who will break-down and discuss the ultimate paradox of seemingly permanent and fixed phenomena being fleeting accumulations of miniscule dhammas ─ which are instantaneously coming-together in momentarily arising phenomena which, at the very same time, are irrevocably (and irreplaceably) falling apart and
disappearing once again.

The Path in Harmony – Ven Ajahn Chah Thero

Ven Ajahn Chah
The Path in Harmony

Today I would like to ask you all. ”Are you sure yet, are you certain in your meditation practice?” I ask because these days there are many people teaching meditation, both monks and lay people, and I’m afraid you may be subject to wavering and doubt.

If we understand clearly, we will be able to make the mind peaceful and firm.You should understand the eightfold path as morality, concentration and wisdom. The path comes together as simply this. Our practice is to make this path arise within us.

Destructive Side of Nature – Mr.David Dale Holmes

compress_tree_Everything breakdown into particles.

Everything falls into dissolution.

Breaks down into particles. Into Emptiness.

Destructive force of a windstorm that can come in  and rip up 100 tress.

Totally destroy a garden which is taken 20 yeas to cultivate similar to a man’s life.

London Buddhist Vihara -War Years: 1939-1945

Anagarika Dharmapala

The War Years: 1939-1945

Just as a pan-European Buddhist Movement was taking shape, hostilities commenced in Europe on 1 September 1938, and Buddhist activities everywhere were consequently disrupted. The 13th and final Annual General Meeting of the British Mahabodhi Society was held on 5 November.The premises at 41 Gloucester Road were closed and compulsorily purchased by the municipal authority, although weekly meetings continued to be held in rented halls. Severely damaged by bombing in the summer of 1941, the last links with No. 41 were only severed as late as 1965 when Camden Borough Council sold the building back to the Mahabodhi Society of Ceylon. This transaction was made to offset the cost of the new Vihara in Chiswick, which had already been acquired the previous year upon the expiration of the lease at 10 Ovington Gardens, Knightsbridge.
