Did the Buddha Get Angry?
@smlanka4u:
Avijja (nescience/asymmetry) is like Mara (the lord of death) because a daughter of Mara is Thanha, and Avijja makes Thanha (greed) too. Also, Avijja makes death, and Mara is the lord of death. The 12 links in the chain of dependent origination is the origination of life and death, and it happens during a single mind-moment (3 Khana) called Chitta-Khana. As I know, the word Mara has 5 definitions (like 5 Natures/Swarupa or Types/Aakara).
Truth of Nalanda University || ft. Manish Paul
@smlanka4u:
Kashmir separated Buddhism, and made or developed Mahayana Buddhism. Some reasons have separated Kashmir into two parts with conflicts between them. The 4th Buddhist council held in Kashmir is not reliable. Original Buddhism and Buddhist councils continued in Sri Lanka. The original 4th Buddhist council was held in Sri Lanka between 247 to 207 BCE.

Instant Relaxation: 5-Minute Guided Breathwork for Nervous System Regulation
@smlanka4u:
Breathing meditation is like an observation of feelings (Vedananupassana), and observing the feelings in the body while breathing in and out makes it a both mindfulness (Vipassana) and relaxing/tranquizing (Samatha) meditation. But the consistent state of concentration called Samadhi is like automatic concentrations on a single object. Feelings are the main objects of the breathing meditation. The mind becomes less attached to stressful feelings when it focuses and changes its attention like this: "Breathe in naturally and feel the feelings from nose to the entire body like allowing the mind to feel all the feelings at once. And then, breathe out naturally and feel the feelings at nose. Also, think that feelings are not mine." It helps the mind to take the control of feelings, and reduces painful feelings of addictions and stress. It is very helpful to develop concentration (Samadhi), and prepare the mind for a good rebirth and enlightenment.

The north Indian prince Vijay invaded lanka, and married a Lankan lady (Kuveni) in 6th century BCE. Lankavatara Sutra mentions a Ravana who lived in Lanka during the lifetime of the Buddha. A Jataka tale mentioned Rama without Ravana and Lanka, and it is the real story of Rama the Bodhisattva. Some people have tried to change history with new and modified stories.

(Pali Canon Study Group) The Realms of Existence - Volume 11 - (Chapter 101-110) at Wat Tung Yu
@smlanka4u:
Natural nature is the truth whether we like it or not. The four noble truths help us understand the true nature of life to escape from the cycle of rebirth. If the 31 realms of existence have two separate planes of existence for animals and Humans, then some Humans live in the animal realm. Also, some Pali texts mentioned four continents of four types of Humans. Perhaps, some Humans live in Pretha and Asura realms too. But the intelligence of living beings in those realms would make them a part of the Human world. Thank you so much.

Gotami Yadanar is in Colombo.
Sri Lanka is one of the places that has certainly had a very significant impact on my life, directly and indirectly, despite having visited this country for the first time only today.
In fact, my first contact with Buddhism was through the Sri Lankan Buddhist temples located in Italy, in my hometown. I was lucky to meet, already at a very young age (let's say 18, 19 years old), kind, willing and generous monks in sharing their knowledge and introducing me to the Buddhist world and knowledge. In fact, I don't think I would have been lucky enough to learn about Buddhist wisdom if it weren't for them. For this reason, I have always felt connected to Sri Lanka in the same way that it reunited me with Buddhism (I use the word “reunite” because I firmly believe that in some way I was close to Buddhism in past lives).
I learned Buddhism, learned Sinhalese, learned who I really wanted to be.
In fact, I had already wanted to become a nun since those times, even if I didn't think it was possible in the near future. I thought it was too good to do to be true. Life ultimately reserved some incredible surprises for me. Then, that life moved me and directed me a little further east like Myanmar, is another story. However, the memory of how I became a Buddhist is unforgettable.
Globalization and our inevitable karma makes us so united with each other despite the distances and apparent differences that everything becomes possible in this samsara, including knowing distant people and reconnecting with past people more easily.

Effort and Non Effort in Buddhist Practice
@naywin7097:
Not " ordinary effort" but " Right effort" is the key to open the door of enlightenment. The problem is effort on what and what kind of effort is " Right" . The missing link between " principal" and " practice" of Buddhism. How to combine and corelate with Four Noble Truth and Four foundations of Mindfulness is essential.
@smlanka4u:
The effort (Viriya) to gain ownership comes from views (Ditti) and sensual desires (Kamacchanda) with a pain until we remove the craving to gain ownership of something from our minds. The removal of ownerships from the mind with the help of the four noble truths is the right view.

@smlanka4u:
If the literal meaning of the word Anicca is unlovable (An+Ichcha) due to the misleading greed (Lobha/Thanha) and misleading views (Ditti) in love, then impermanence (Anithya) is only a derived/hidden meaning of the word Anicca.

@Exiide89:
Hitler's symbol was the Christian hooked cross, not Swastika. He wanted to make a pure christian state, not a sanatani state. European christian propagandists mischievously translated hooked cross from german language to Swastika so that the stigma could be passed on to Indians. Watch "The Silence of Swastika" youtube video.

@smlanka4u «Real science must explain the truth even if it is untestable.»

It is not "real science", but "speculative science". The "truth" as a food for parrots. The models (representations) of reality are infinite, and are not equivalent to what they represent.
@smlanka4u:
@voltydequa845, The truths that were discovered and verified don't change with time even if all the discoverers died.
@voltydequa845:
@smlanka4u «The truths that were discovered and verified don't change with time even if all the discoverers died.»

This one of yours does not make sense. There are no "truths", since "discovery" is not a synonym for "truth", and since "discoveries", along with "verification", are (re)interpreted along the spirit of times. "Discoveries" do not "die". You'd better go with metaphysic truths and discoveries.
@smlanka4u:
@voltydequa845, You can believe your interpretation of truths if you want. The great discoverers like supreme Buddha and his great disciples discovered great truths. Check your senses if you can't understand it.
