  • Without being practical in Dhamma, there will be no experiential recognition,
  • That sandittika, akalika, aehipassika, opanaika, pachhuppana dhamma cannot
    be explained.
  • It was in that book,
    Lord Buddha said so, That monk said so, It was there, it was here, it was said so etc. etc.,
  • Is it Dhamma being spoken ?
  • Even oneself does not know what is being spoken is correct or not !
  • As long as immersed in the darkness of ignorance in the mundane world,
    everyone bound in wrong views and concepts,
  • As long as external world is true, you are in total delusion, You are bound to suffer,
    No freedom from suffering at all.
  • Recognise the truth, Listen carefully.
  • Deep truth that is grasped by the deep wisdom, cannot be seen by the mind.
  • Being free from thoughts, there is an awakening to deep wisdom.
  • Then only we can see the illusion we are in.
  • Really, we are in a prison of maya, the illusion,
  • Whatever we think to be true, is not true,
  • That is why we all are suffering
    So long as Truth is not known, so long as imprisoned in maya, we are bound to
    suffer.
  • Lord Buddha revealed the Truth to the whole world.
  • As a result, Sidhartha thapasa is known as Samma Sambuddha

    Because the supreme truth is recognised & understood by HIS own deep
    wisdom,
  • HE is known as Samma Sambuddha

Buddha’s words for the future: – Aani Sutta
 
  • Lord Buddha revealed that a time would come in future the whole society would be indulging in mundane ritualistic offerings (Amisa puja) 
  • In that, it says future Bikkus will not preach Sunnnatha Patisanukktha discourses
 

Damma replica (Saddamma Prathirupaka) means: 

  1. Discourses indulging ritualistic offerings
  2. Discourses promoting melodious sloka chantings
  3. Discourses promising havens
 
  • These are predominant as Buddhist doctrine in the current society
  • In fact, these are against the Buddhist doctrine
  • No Nibbana path in those
  • Lord Buddha stated 2500 years ago that,
  • A society of mere sloka (hymn) chanting will emerge 
 
That era is today
You should be aware of this!
 
  • There are many things people do not know
  • If Damma is not expounded accurately
  • That is the destruction of the Buddha Sasana 
  • The discourse that we present here is very very important
  • We reveal many matters hidden from society for so long
  • Due to ignorance, You get deceived easily
  • Darkness is in ignorance
  • As long as we do not know Damma, we are blind
  • When You realise the truth
  • That day you will take refuge in the Tripple Gem
  • Until that time there is no much help in Damma
 
  • Therefore, you will seek refuge in the gods
  • You go to Devalaya (temple) and make vows
  • Whom do you take refuge with?
  • Don’t you have any refuge in Damma?
  • Not knowing the Damma, you have lost Triple Gem!
  • You are helpless, aren’t you?
  • When Bikkus in the society do not know pure Damma, how can you have any help or guidance?
  • When you know Damma,
  • Will you take refuge in the gods? No
  • Where did we go wrong?
