Produktbeschreibung

The Buddha delivered his last speech 2500 years ago, before dying away. This Dharma lecture was recorded in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra (Maha Parinibbana Sutta -Great Passing Discourse) and is part of the Pali Canon, Buddhism's great texts. The Buddha taught sentient beings numerous lessons on how to achieve the road of freedom throughout his 45 years of preaching. The Buddha wished to underscore to his pupils towards the conclusion of his life the importance of putting his teachings into practice. When Ananda, a devout student and cousin of the Buddha, expressed his desire for the Buddha to pass on his last teachings to the monks and nuns in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, the Buddha replied that he did not hold anything "in the fist like a teacher desires to keep anything." And the Buddha warned his followers not to put their faith in him. "Be your own oasis, Ananda, dwell in yourself, do not seek shelter elsewhere; consider the Dharma to be your oasis, consider the Dharma to be your habitation."My students, Ananda, who know how to take shelter in their own oasis now or after I pass away, know how to view the Dharma as their oasis and take refuge in the Dharma," the Buddha said. If they commit themselves to practice, individuals who live in France will achieve the peerless, righteous road, true enlightenment."

The twenty-four Dharma discourses in this book are presented in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra's spirit, with an emphasis on personal practice. 'Consider the Dharma to be one's own sanctuary, one's own oasis.' These Dharma speeches aim to explain the Buddha's teachings by depending primarily on the suttas, or the Buddha's responses to the crowds. The first chapter explains what it means to "take shelter" in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha for Buddhists. The second chapter opens with a poem praising the Buddhadharma and then on to explore other techniques of inner development, understanding, and insight without relying on anything external to ourselves. Both of these chapters are included at the beginning of the book as a gift to the reader, who may read them if they so want. Alternatively, we may complete the other chapters and then return to the first two, where we could find them more significant. Readers may only find a few of chapters helpful at this time. If that's all there is to it, it's a good start, since the magical Dharma of Buddha has now become a part of our spiritual life, from which it may expand and flourish till the end of time. We are completely immersed in Buddhism. I'd want to express my gratitude to all the nuns, sadi-nis, laity men and women who have always attended my Dharma presentations. These tunes" would not have been possible without them. unheard, and it's possible that this book was never written. My friends deserve special appreciation for always understanding and generously supporting my work and the release of this book. The Buddhists transcribed their notes from the taped lectures. These individuals have contributed their time, effort, and compassion to the Buddhadharma's propagation.
