Ajahn buddhadasa biography of william shakespeare

  • To claim a life worth living, Buddhist teacher, Ajahn Buddhadasa suggests that we “don't do anything that takes you away from your body.” Mindful awareness is.
  • In this thesis we will use Bhikkhu Buddhadasa's interpretations, teachings, translations and works as a hermeneutic tool for examining ecological restoration.
  • I heard Buddhadasa teach about fifty times in person.

    Learning meditation from the Buddha: a meeting with Ven Analayo

    I met German-born Analayo some years ago when he was living a life of intensive meditation and study in a small retreat centre in Sri Lanka. He told me how his study of the Buddha’s original meditation teaching had led him to question established approaches to practice.

    Since then, he has published an acclaimed work on the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha’s main teaching on mindfulness, taken full Bhikkhu ordination, published many groundbreaking essays on Pali Buddhism, especially comparisons between the Pali Suttas and the Chinese versions, the Agamas and become a widely respected scholar and academic. As this interview shows, he is above all a deeply devoted Dharma practitioner

    Vishvapani: How do you come to be living as a Buddhist monk here in Sri Lanka?

    Analayo: I studied martial arts in Berlin and I found that the discipline offered a way to express and contain my anger, but it didn’t address the root of the problem. Along with martial arts I also learned Soto Zen meditation, and when I found that through practising that some of my anger no longer arose I became very interested in meditation. I travelled to Asia and ended up in Thailand where I did a course in mindfulness of breathing with Ajah
