Awakeness Practices

All 84,000 Khandas As Found in the Pali Suttas

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.

Pañhapuccha Sutta: On Asking Questions

translated from the Pali by

Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Then Ven. Sariputta addressed the monks: "Friend monks."

"Yes, friend," the monks responded to him.

Ven. Sariputta said: "All those who ask questions of another do so from any one of five motivations. Which five?

"One asks a question of another through stupidity & bewilderment. One asks a question of another through evil desires & overwhelmed with greed. One asks a question of another through contempt. One asks a question of another when desiring knowledge. Or one asks a question with this thought,[1] 'If, when asked, he answers correctly, well & good. If not, then I will answer correctly [for him].'

"All those who ask questions of another do so from any one of these five motivations. And as for me, when I ask a question of another, it's with this thought: 'If, when asked, he answers correctly, well & good. If not, then I will answer correctly [for him].'

BUDDHA (EDUCATE)!    DHAMMA (MEDITATE)!  SANGHA (ORGANISE)!

WISDOM IS POWER

Awakened One Shows the Path to Attain Eternal Bliss

Using such an instrument

The Free ONLINE e-Nālandā Research and Practice University has been re-organized to function through the following Schools of Learning :

Buddha's Sangha Practiced His Dhamma Free of cost, hence the Free- e-Nālandā Research and Practice University follows suit

As the Original Nālandā University did not offer any Degree, so also the Free  e-Nālandā Research and Practice University.

The teachings of Buddha are eternal, but even then Buddha did not proclaim them to be infallible. The religion of Buddha has the capacity to change according to times, a quality which no other religion can claim to have…Now what is the basis of Buddhism? If you study carefully, you will see that Buddhism is based on reason. There is an element of flexibility inherent in it, which is not found in any other religion.

Programmes highlighted feeling of Unity and Integrity

Lucknow : 26 January 2011

The Republic Day was celebrated with fervour in the state

capital Lucknow here yesterday. The main function was organised in

front of Vidhan Bhavan, where the Governor Mr. B.L. Joshi took

salute of the parade. Earlier, the Hon'ble Chief Minister Ms.

Mayawati ji welcomed the Governor and greeted him on the

occasion of Republic Day.

The grand parade, organised at the Republic Day function, was

led by Col. Samar Singh Pundeer in which various units of para

military forces, civil police, home guards, NCC jawans and students

of various schools participated. The T-72 M tank, VMP-1 and VMP-2,

105 MM light field gun, PMS bridge, AM-50 bridge with modern

facilities and missile mounted vehicle (ATGM Milan) of Indian Army

were also displayed on the occasion.

The contingents of 3/11 Gorkha Rifles, 16 Sikh Light Infantry,

Central Reserve Police Force, ITBP, SSB, PAC 32nd Battalion, UP

Police and Home Guards presented attractive march past at the

parade. The NCC cadets and students of Sainik school, Lucknow

Public school, Rajajipuram and City Montessori School Rajajipuram

and RDSO branches also presented excellent march past which

indicated that they had prepared hard for the Republic Day

celebrations.

Centre, Garhwal Regimental Centre, 39 GTC, Rajput Regiment, 19

Garhwal Rifles, First Jack, ASC Centre North, CRPF, SSB, PAC 35th

Battalion, Home Guard, Sainik School and CMS (Kanpur Road)

martyrs of the country and the students of the CMS Mahanagar

presentations were highly appreciated by the spectators.

The tableaux taken out by various government departments

and schools, on one hand presented a glimpse of various welfare

schemes being carried out by the state government for the

development of weaker sections of Sarv Samaj, while on the other

it also depicted the efforts of the state government being made for

the development of U.P. The various memorials, museums built in

Lucknow in the honour of saints, gurus and great men, who made

historic contribution to usher in social change, were depicted as new

tourism centres of the state. Besides, energy conservation and

linking of villages of the state with pucca roads were also shown in

the tableaux.

The tableau of the State Information and Public Relations

Department titled "Buddham Sharnam Gachchhami" attractively

presented the life of Lord Buddha and the places related with him.

It may be recalled that Gautam Buddha delivered his first sermon

after getting enlightenment at Sarnath and his Mahaparinirvana

took place at Kushi Nagar. Because of it, these places of the state

were famous all over the world. Depicting the state government's

efforts to immortalise the memory of Lord Buddha, one tableau

showed him receiving water from the hands of a dalit woman. Thus,

the message of this tableau was not to discriminate between the

human beings.

LDA, Forest Department, U.P. Power Corporation, Aminabad Inter

College, CMS, Social Welfare Department, Horticulture and Food

Processing Department and Rajya Soochana Shiksha Sanchar

of government and administration and a large number of prominent

citizens were present on the occasion.
