Traditionally the are 84,000 Dharma Doors - 84,000 ways to get Awakeness. Maybe so; certainly the Buddha taught a large number of practices that lead to Awakeness. This web page attempts to catalogue those found in the Pali Suttas (DN, MN, SN, AN, Ud & Sn 1). There are 3 sections:

The discourses of Buddha are divided into 84,000, as to separate addresses. The division includes all that was spoken by Buddha."I received from Buddha," said Ananda, "82,000 Khandas, and  from the priests 2000; these are 84,000 Khandas maintained by me." They are divided into 275,250, as to the stanzas of the original text, and into 361,550, as to the stanzas of the commentary. All the discourses including both those of Buddha and those of the commentator, are divided  into 2,547 banawaras, containing 737,000 stanzas, and 29,368,000 separate letters.

Kathavatthu Sutta: Topics for Discussion

translated from the Pali by

Thanissaro Bhikkhu

© 2005–2011

"Monks, there are these three topics for discussion. Which three?

"One may talk about the past, saying, 'Thus it was in the past.' One may talk about the future, saying, 'Thus it will be in the future.' Or one may talk about now in the present, saying, 'Thus it is now in the present.'

"Monks, it's through his way of participating in a discussion that a person can be known as fit to talk with or unfit to talk with. If a person, when asked a question, doesn't give a categorical answer to a question deserving a categorical answer, doesn't give an analytical (qualified) answer to a question deserving an analytical answer, doesn't give a counter-question to a question deserving a counter-question, doesn't put aside a question deserving to be put aside, then — that being the case — he is a person unfit to talk with. But if a person, when asked a question, gives a categorical answer to a question deserving a categorical answer, gives an analytical answer to a question deserving an analytical answer, gives a counter-question to a question deserving a counter-question, and puts aside a question deserving to be put aside, then — that being the case — he is a person fit to talk with.

"Monks, it's through his way of participating in a discussion that a person can be known as fit to talk with or unfit to talk with. If a person, when asked a question, doesn't stand by what is possible and impossible, doesn't stand by agreed-upon assumptions, doesn't stand by teachings known to be true,[1] doesn't stand by standard procedure, then — that being the case — he is a person unfit to talk with. But if a person, when asked a question, stands by what is possible and impossible, stands by agreed-upon assumptions, stands by teachings known to be true, stands by standard procedure, then — that being the case — he is a person fit to talk with.

"Monks, it's through his way of participating in a discussion that a person can be known as fit to talk with or unfit to talk with. If a person, when asked a question, wanders from one thing to another, pulls the discussion off the topic, shows anger & aversion and sulks, then — that being the case — he is a person unfit to talk with. But if a person, when asked a question, doesn't wander from one thing to another, doesn't pull the discussion off the topic, doesn't show anger or aversion or sulk, then — that being the case — he is a person fit to talk with.

"Monks, it's through his way of participating in a discussion that a person can be known as fit to talk with or unfit to talk with. If a person, when asked a question, puts down [the questioner], crushes him, ridicules him, grasps at his little mistakes, then — that being the case — he is a person unfit to talk with. But if a person, when asked a question, doesn't put down [the questioner], doesn't crush him, doesn't ridicule him, doesn't grasp at his little mistakes, then — that being the case — he is a person fit to talk with.

"Monks, it's through his way of participating in a discussion that a person can be known as drawing near or not drawing near. One who lends ear draws near; one who doesn't lend ear doesn't draw near. Drawing near, one clearly knows one quality, comprehends one quality, abandons one quality, and realizes one quality.[2] Clearly knowing one quality, comprehending one quality, abandoning one quality, and realizing one quality, one touches right release. For that's the purpose of discussion, that's the purpose of counsel, that's the purpose of drawing near, that's the purpose of lending ear: i.e., the liberation of the mind through no clinging.

Those who discuss

when angered, dogmatic, arrogant,

following what's not the noble ones' way,

seeking to expose each other's faults,

delight in each other's             misspoken word,

slip, stumble, defeat.

Noble ones

don't speak in that way.

If wise people, knowing the right time,

want to speak,

then, words connected with justice,

following the ways of the noble ones:

That's what the enlightened ones speak,

without anger or arrogance,

with a mind not boiling over,

without vehemence, without spite.

Without envy

they speak from right knowledge.

They would delight in what's well-said

and not disparage what's not.

They don't study to find fault,

don't grasp at little mistakes.

don't put down, don't crush,

don't speak random words.

For the purpose of knowledge,

for the purpose of [inspiring] clear confidence,

counsel that's true:

That's how noble ones give counsel,

That's the noble ones' counsel.

Knowing this, the wise

should give counsel without arrogance."

The teachings of Buddha are eternal, but even then Buddha did not proclaim them to be infallible.

Dear Upasak,

                   much merits to you for sharing such Enlightening views. Most of the educated and well to do Ambedkarites  and other beneficiaries of reservation given by Babasaheb's  constitution are showing disrespect to Babasaheb by not following Buddhism. Venerable Nagasena has mentioned about such  people in Question of Milinda as follows:

Disrespectful  Persons.

There are these twelve kinds of persons, O king who pay no respect- "The lustful man in his lust, the angry man in his malice, the dull man in his stupidity, the puffed-up man in his pride, the bad man in his want of discrimination, the obstinate man in his want of docility, the mean man in his littleness, the talkative man in his vanity, the wicked man in his cruelty, the wretched man in his misery, the gambler overpowered by his greed and the busy man in his search after gain."

 Wish you all Happy Constitution Day.

with metta,

Bhanteji

[mfc_mumbai] My heartiest best wishes to all fellow Indians on occassion of 62nd Republic Day of "The Republic Of India".

My heartiest best wishes to all fellow Indians on occassion of 62nd Republic Day of "The Republic Of India".

The freedom that we celebrate on Republic Day is the liberty to rule ourselves under a Constitution that we have created; one which safeguards our rights and allows us to be good citizens while not trampling over the rights of others.

"India is a peculiar country and her nationalists and patriots are a peculiar people. A patriot and a nationalist in India is one who sees with open eyes his fellow men treated as being less than man. But his humanity does not rise in protest. He knows that men and women for no cause are denied their rights. But it does not prick his civil sense of helpful action. He finds a whole class of people shut out from public employment. But it does not rouse his sense of justice and fair play. Hundreds of evil practices that injure man and society are perceived by him. But they do not sicken him with disgust. The patriot's one cry is power for him and his class. I am glad I do not belong to that class of patriots. I belong to that class which takes its stand on democracy and which seeks to destroy monopoly in every form. Our aim is to realise in practice our ideal of one man one value in all walks of life - political, economical and social."

"Walter Bagehot defined democracy as 'Government by discussion'. Abraham Lincoln defined democracy as ' A Government of the people, by the people and for the people'.

My definition of democracy is - A form and a method of Government whereby revolutionary changes in the social life are brought about without bloodshed. That is the real test. It is perhaps the severest test. But when you are judging the quality of the material you must put it to the severest test."

"Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards our fellow men."

 

 "A democratic form of Government presupposes a democratic form of a society, The formal framework of democracy is of no value and would indeed be a misfit if there was no social democracy. It may not be necessary for a democratic society to be marked by unity, by community of purpose, by loyalty to public ends and by mutuality of sympathy. But it does unmistakably involve two things. The first is an attitude of mind, and attitude of respect and equality towards their fellows. The second is a social organisation free from rigid social barriers. Democracy is incompatible and inconsistent with isolation and exclusiveness resulting in the distinction between the privileged and the unprivileged."

"Without social union, political unity is difficult to be achieved. If achieved, it would be as precarious as a summer sapling, liable to be uprooted by the gust of wind. With mere political unity, India may be a state. But to be a state is not to be a nation and a state which is not a nation has small prospects of survival in the struggle of existence. This is especially true where nationalism - the most dynamic force of modern times, is seeking everywhere to free itself by the destruction and disruption of all mixed states. The danger to a mixed and composite state, therefore lies not so much in external aggression as in the internal resurgence of nationalities which are fragmented, entrapped, suppressed and held against their will."

"Indians today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty, equality and fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies them."

"Constitutional morality is not a natural sentiment. It has to be cultivated. We must realise that our people have yet to learn it. Democracy in India is only a top dressing on an Indian soil which is essentially undemocratic."

"On the 26th January 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality. In politics we will be recognising the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value. In our social and economic life, we shall by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value. How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life? If we continue to deny it for long, we will do so only by putting our political democracy in peril. We must remove this contradiction at the earliest possible moment else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of democracy which this Constituent Assembly has so laboriously built up."

"No Constitution is perfect (but) I feel that it is workable, it is flexible and it is strong enough to hold the country together both in peacetime and in wartime. Indeed, if I may say so, if things go wrong under the new constitution, the reason will not be that we have had a bad constitution. What we will have to say is, that Man was vile."

[ZESTCaste] ‘Check hasty promotions of SC/ST engineers'

http://expressbuzz.com/cities/bangalore/%E2%80%98check-hasty-promotions-of-scst-engineers/242702.html

'Check hasty promotions of SC/ST engineers'

Express News Service
First Published : 27 Jan 2011 02:39:34 AM IST

BANGALORE: A delegation of chief engineers from Public Works and Water
Resources Departments has urged the government to limit the
reservation for promotion of reserve category engineers (SC/ST) as per
an order of Karnataka High Court.

The division bench of Karnataka High Court had on December 23, 2010,
while hearing a writ petition filed by the president of Karnataka
Engineers Association M Nagaraj and several others categorically
stated that the maximum extent of reservation for promotion of reserve
category engineers should not exceed 15 per cent in the case of SCs
and 3 per cent for STs.

Nagaraj and others had gone to the court, challenging 85th
Constitutional Amendment Act, 2001, for providing accelerated
promotion and consequential seniority for reserve category engineers.
While the court upheld the government's policy of providing
reservation in promotion, it had made it clear that the reservation
should not cross the prescribed limit.

Armed with the high court order, a delegation of probationers and
general category engineers had recently met PWD Minister C M Udasi and
PWD Principal Secretary S V Ranganath, demanding restriction of
reservation in promotions.

According to them, the extent of promotion given to the SCs and STs in
all cadres at present has exceeded the prescribed limit. While 52 per
cent of the posts were occupied by the reserved category engineers in
the cadre of executive engineers, the extent of reservation given in
superintending engineer and chief engineer cadres is 30.49 per cent
and 25.45 per cent respectively, they claimed.

"This is against the court verdict and we are demanding to set this
right," an engineer told Express on condition of anonymity. "We are
not seeking the immediate reversal of excessive promotions of reserved
category engineers but asking the government not to give them the
benefit of accelerated promotions till the time prescribed quota of
reservation is maintained," he added.

They also demanded that the government publish a fresh seniority list
in all cadres of engineers.

[ZESTCaste] Mirchpur residents' eleven-day agitation ends

Mirchpur residents' eleven-day agitation ends

Press Trust of India, Updated: January 26, 2011 20:22 IST

Jind: The eleven-day long agitation by residents of Mirchpur and
adjoining villages protesting for a fresh probe into the killing of
two Dalits today ended after talks between leaders of the protesters
and Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda concluded on a positive note.

The agitation resolved after talks between Bhag Singh Jalabh, convenor
of the 41 member committee constituted by Sarvjatiya Sarvkhap
Mahapanchayat, and Hooda, in Kaithal last night.

Jalabh said the meeting with the chief minister was held in a cordial
atmosphere and they had decided to lift the blockades at Jind and
other places.

Members of the pre-dominant Jat community had been sitting on the
tracks at Julani village near Jind railway station since January 15,
disrupting railway traffic on the Jind-Jakhal section of the
Delhi-Ferozepur route.

Following the truce, the agitators removed barricades they had used to
block the national highways and important road links here. They also
vacated the Delhi Ferozepur rail line in the evening, which they had
occupied since the last 11 days.

Jalabh said he had full faith in the system of delivery of justice and
assured full cooperation to the government and the administration in
maintaining peace and brotherhood, adding if the government failed to
act on its assurance, the agitation would be relaunched.

The villagers were protesting against the booking of 98 members of
their community in a case relating to the killing of 70-year-old Dalit
Tara Chand and his teenaged daughter Suman in Hisar district's
Mirchpur village on April 21 last year.

Rail traffic on various sections, including Jind-Rohtak and
Hissar-Bhiwani is expected to be restored soon after inspection of the
tracks, railway sources said.

The locked depot of the Haryana Roadways here was also reopened and
bus services would be restored soon, officials said.

A Delhi court on January 9 had directed the Haryana Government to move
all the 98 accused from Hisar jail to Tihar prison since their trial
was transferred to a court in Delhi following a Supreme Court order,
after the aggrieved party had moved the apex court claiming that a
fair trial was not possible in Haryana.

The protesters have been demanding that the probe be held by a Special
Investigation Team (SIT) either at Rohtak or Hisar and the accused be
lodged in either of the two jails.

Republic Day was celebrated on Wednesday across the city with festive
fervour. Seminars, flag hoisting ceremonies and other events marked
the occasion.

Jnanpith awardee U.R. Ananthamurthy called upon Dalits to pressure the
Government to provide them reservation in employment in multinational
companies (MNCs) that are coming to Bangalore.

Inaugurating a seminar on 'B. Basavalingappa rajakaranada kendra
sthanakke Dalita shakti', organised here by Dalit Sangharsh Samiti,
Dalit Students Federation and Dalit Women's Federation, the writer
suggested that the Dalits not only seek reservation, but also learn
English and seek employment in MNCs as equals.

A bike rally and a seminar seeking implementation of the ideals of the
Constitution was organised by the Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samiti.

The seminar sought to address issues of universal literacy and
disregard to the ideals set by the founding fathers in the
Constitution by successive governments.

Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court J.S. Khehar unfurled the
National Flag on the High Court premises.

The Bangalore Division of Southern Railways organised Republic Day
celebrations at the Railway Institute Grounds.

Three platoons of Railway Protection Force, St. John's Ambulance
Brigade, Bharat Scouts and Guides, Students of Kendriya Vidyalaya,
Shama Vidyashala and St. Philomina's High School took part in the
parade.

The former Minister Katta Subramanya Naidu, participating in the
Republic Day function at the Postal Colony Welfare Association in
Sanjaynagar, said more industries should come to Karnataka.
Association president S. Jayaram submitted a memorandum seeking a
playground and a rangamandira in the colony.
