Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sumano Tong gives a detailed survey intending to uncover three key characteristics in the everyday objects and situations around us: impermanence, suffering, and selflessness. Failure to recognise these three characteristics is what is identified by the Buddha as the major cause of human suf…fering. Sumano Tong's short 'exercise in wise reflection' should help readers appreciate the humble, practical truth of the Buddha's ancient wisdom. The Buddha taught that all conditioned things have impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and selflessness. Ignorance of these leads to wrong perceptions, actions, and accumulation of karma, keeping us bound to the cycle of birth and death.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The essays in this collection have been written over a period of nearly fifty years. During the first forty years of this I was a house-holder. It is only at the age of sixty-nine that I took to the life of a Buddhist monk. From the age of twenty-five I have been a teacher of Buddhism and th…e P li language at Universities, both here and abroad, and have handled these disciplines all my life for more than forty years.These five essays cover four major areas. Two deal with aesthetic enjoyment and concepts of beauty as envisioned in Buddhism. As one would always discover in my writings, one may see in these two essays some elements of provocative thinking. I am fully conscious of this as I write. But I have also to be sensitive to what I read in the original texts and to come to grips with what they endeavor to communicate. I would rise up even to agree to disagree.Next we take up the very challenging question of the position of women in Buddhism. It is known to be a subject of endless debate. Let us talk about it with a desirable academic detachment and an honest awareness of the purpose of our controversies.Very few people know about Buddhism's concern for social growth and development. We devote one essay for the analytical and evaluative study of human resources. Why should it lie idle or be recklessly used?Finally, we examine the reality of death in life and use it as a source of inspiration and guidance. Collection of essays written over 50 years by a Buddhist monk and teacher. Topics include aesthetic enjoyment, women in Buddhism, social growth, and death as inspiration. Emphasizes provocative thinking and academic detachment in exploring these subjects. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After his ordination as a bhikkhu, the Venerable Maha Kaccana usually resided in his homeland of Avanti, a remote region to the southwest of the Middle Country where the Buddha dwelt, and thus he did not spend as much time in the Blessed One's presence as some of the other great disciples di…d, such as Sariputta, Maha Moggallana, and Ananda. For this reason we do not find, in the records of the Sutta Pitaka, that the Venerable Maha Kaccana figured as prominently in Sangha affairs and in the Buddha's ministry as the aforementioned elders. Nevertheless, on account of the astuteness of his intellect, the profundity of his insight into the Dhamma, and his skill as a speaker, whenever Maha Kaccana did join the Buddha for extended periods, the other monks frequently turned to him for help in illuminating the meaning of brief statements of the Buddha that had been causing them bafflement. Venerable Maha Kaccana, though not always with the Buddha, was highly respected for his intellect, insight into Dhamma, and speaking skills. Other monks sought his help in understanding the Buddha's teachings due to his profound understanding and clarity in explanations.
