Which jhāna Buddha was in when he attained sabbañutañāna

🙏🙏🙏

Dear teacher Punnadhammo: I was there for two weeks cooking. To my surprise Condana told me there was the book of “Buddhist Cosmos” in the library and started reading it. I checked it out and when I left I brought it with me. I already bought one hard cover on Amazon and waiting to receive it by May 15, 2024. The copy I took was the only one in the library, please let me know if it is ok to take it back when I comeback, or to send it by mail once I get my copy from the Internet, or if you want me to send it right away? With profound respect I bow to our dear Teacher Punnadhammo Mahathero. Thank you very much.

This is a real gem. I love the way he speaks about meditation leading to Jhana.

Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu Anumodana. Thank you Ajahn

Thanks for popping up on my TH-cam 🙏😇

Good man yerself!! ☘️🌿

All objective reality is dukha because it must be perpetually fed to remain the object, and it will not be, it will cease. The absolute is inert, complete rest. 🔥

Ajaan Geoff notes that today it does not make much sense to refer to schools of Buddhism. It would be like referring to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as three schools of monotheism; better to see the them as different Buddhist religions.

Thank you, Ajahn for a fascinating glimpse into early Buddhist points of controversy. I have a feeling there is a lot more to learn, but you have very effectively pointed the way if we wish to undertake further study. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

I was moved by this series on the Mahaparinibbana……..thank you Bhante 🙏

If Theravada predated the Mahayana beliefs, then why do scholars say the Mahasamghika has the oldest Vinaya? Why do scholars believe and say almost unanimously that it was the Sthaviravas who wanted to changed the Vinaya, and the Mahasamghika saw them as defects because it was them who wanted to change and "add" rules to the original Vinaya? Scholars believe the Mahasamghikas on this because it both predates the Theravada Vinaya, but it also does have less rules than the Theravada, so Scholars agree it was indeed the Sthaviras who defected. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah%C4%81s%C4%81%E1%B9%83ghika Scholars agree, the 2nd council was an issue of vinaya, and just this mere 116 years after Buddha death they held these beliefs of eternal Buddha etc, Buddha existing in all directions etc.. Then why wasn't the second council an issue over their doctrine? Check the sources in wiki I linked and read, I'm not fabricating anything here. Mahasamghika had these mahayana beliefs a mere 116 years post death, and the council was not anything related to these beliefs at all, but rather a defect group, nor some elders, not all elders, only some of them, a small group of the elders wanted to alter and add to the Vinaya. Those Sthaviras went on to become three other schools, including the sarvastivada, and the other school was Theravada. Scholars agree the Mahasamghika represents the earliest undivided Sangha Vinaya, and that the stheravdas are the defect group from that who wanted to add and change it, and indeed it does have additions to it, not found in the Mahasamghika Vinaya.

These 6 make a wonderful weekend retreat. Do you prefer Walsh to Sister Vajra? What do you think of Mission Accomplshed? AND thank you for this.

This is all too deep for me- I'll just stick with, "Chop wood, carry water".

Thank you, Bhante for your devotional telling of the Buddha’s parinibbana🙏

Thank you, Bhante. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu. I guess the cat had overcome its attachments. =^..^=

I don't think this is True. Couple of errors in Sri Lanken history and buddist history.

I love the video, but as a theologist for 15+ years this is not accurate from a secular scholastic perspective, especially regarding the mahasamghika which you have entirely backwards (from a historical and secular scholastic perspective) it is actually the Mahasamghika who are understood to have the oldest original Vinaya, and the information you have pertaining to this, is actually coming from the Mahasamghika sources themselves which is the oldest evidence we have pertaining to the second council. The oldest living account of the second council schism, is from the Mahasamghika source itself. It is okay to not agree with Mahasamghika, but please do so from a place within your belief system, not from an in accurate historical account. It is indeed understood by modern scholars that Mahasamghika represents the oldest monastic source. Buddhist historical sources mention that the cause for schism was a dispute over vinaya (monastic rule), mainly the desire of certain Sthaviras (elders) to add extra rules to make the vinaya more rigorous.[2] Other sources, especially Sthavira sources (I'm being fair here to add this, although again this is an older source, that came out much later) like those of the Sarvastivada school, argue that the main cause was a doctrinal issue. They blame a figure named Mahadeva with arguing for five divisive points, four of which see arhatship as a lesser kind of spiritual attainment (which still has ignorance and desire).[2] (which is what you've done in this video as well, I am just here to explain from the historical perspective, this is not accurate, as you will read below, mahadeva actually came from within the mahasamghika nikaya much later on, and was admonished by the mahasamghika nikaya. It is not historical accurate to say that Mahadeva existed during the second council, it came up much later) Scholars have generally agreed that the matter of dispute was indeed a matter of vinaya, and have noted that the account of the Mahāsāṃghikas is bolstered by the vinaya texts themselves, as vinayas associated with the Sthaviras do contain more rules than those of the Mahāsāṃghika vinaya.[3] Modern scholarship therefore generally agrees that the Mahāsāṃghika vinaya is the oldest.[3] According to Skilton, future historians may determine that a study of the Mahāsāṃghika school will contribute to a better understanding of the early Dhamma-Vinaya than the Theravāda school.[4] Regarding the issue with Mahadeva's doctrine, this seems to have been a later doctrinal dispute within the Mahāsāṃghika community (which happened after the schism). The followers of Mahadeva seem to have been the precursors of the southern Mahāsāṃghika sects, like the Caitikas.[2] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah%C4%81s%C4%81%E1%B9%83ghika

Thank you, Bhante.

1. Samsara being beginless ( infinite time prior to this present) is not an issue to Anicca, but the Buddha staying for a Kalpa is an issue with Anicca? A Kalpa is not forever, a Kalpa is not eternity, there have been infinite kalpas, beginless kalpas prior to Buddha existing. One Kalpa surely has no contradiction to Anicca. 2. Please tell me the exact time that Matreiya will come. Is it within this Kappa? Where is that written in the cannon? Also, The Buddha said it is impossible for two Buddha to arise together in the same world system. Two sets of causes and conditions that arise to each become a Buddha simultaneously within the same world system at the same time, so even if Maitreya is to exist before the end of this world system and not in the next one, they can both exist simultaneously, the Majjhima Nikaya does not say anything about two Buddha existing at the same time. The sentence is they cannot "arise in the same world system at the same time" the two usage of the words "same" here are very intentional. No hoop jumping. Maitraya and Buddha can definitely be in the same world system together, just not arise together at the same time. Not to mention paccekabuddhas arise as well.

Thank you, Bhante. 🌺🌺🌺

Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines.

Jesus perfected this parami 100%.

Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines.

If there is a hell and it is impermanent then that is a good thing is it not?

For all the sharing, the teaching and the constant source of inspiration and information Bhante..... thanku. The dhamna brings such stillness in what can be such a noisy world.

If enlightenment is achieved through merit, why is it then that the Buddha is the only one who can achieve all the paramis? Shouldn't any arahant through concentration be able to perfect them?

Thank you, Bhante. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.
