“So they said to the Buddha …” Class 3 of 4
Recorded on 2024-05-21
The Buddha’s teachings come alive in conversation. His teachings were created in the moment, in his encounters with the diverse people and ideas of his time. Summaries of his teachings focus on *what* he said, but for this course we will focus on *how* he said it. Engaging in a meaningful conversation is not just being able to state correct facts, but to listen with empathy for people’s needs and values. This four week course selects memorable moments from the early Buddhist texts and reflects on them as encounters in a personal and social context.
This dāna program is offered freely by the Sati Center. Our events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students. Please support us in this time honored tradition by considering a donation. sati.org/donate/

A Story of the First Buddhist Women with Vanessa Sasson
Переглядів 369Місяць тому
Recorded on 3/30/24 After the Buddha achieved awakening, he welcomed men to join him in his practice. One day, the Buddha’s stepmother, Mahapajapati Gotami, approached the Buddha and asked if she too - along with the women who stood behind her - might join him in the monastic life. The story becomes a bit more complicated from there. Vanessa R. Sasson, professor of Religious Studies at Marianop...

    Thank you for offering this practice. I'm curious to know if there are any discourses within the Pali canon in which the Buddha teaches this approach to modifying the breath, rather than being mindful of it as it is. In my experience, the instruction regarding the breath is usually to simply be with it as it is, and there is often an explicit injunction to not modify the breath, as "mindfulness is not a breathing exercise like prana yoga," etc. One observation from doing this guided practice is that after performing the steps in one area and then moving to the next, when one now modifies the pattern of breathing according to what feels best in that area, it negates the pattern of breath that was established in the previous body area. So I'm a bit cloudy as to the purpose of this element of the practice, other than the progressive establishment of embodied mindfulness, as with any "body scan". Is that the idea - to add this as a further grounding and deepening step incorporated into body scan, or is there another (possibly sutta-based) basis for this approach? Thank you.

    Ive thought a lot about the thing how if there is no self then what gets reborn question. ive heard ajahn brahm and you talk about it. would another way to say whats going on with that be that because of the delusion of a self, and attachment to a self is the reason why you get reborn at all? i feel like i bet both of you have already said this before but my attachment to a self caused me to forget.

    Previous comment should read that women’s life traditionally in that culture and in many to this very day were seen as meaningless unless married. Women were not particularly safe even in the their families or their marriages, so living under a tree in the forest meditating may not have been very physically safe. Of course there was and is mysogeny but do think the declining of women joining the monastics was because the Buddha was mysogenistic but because the culture for women was unsafe. They would have needed as requisites pepper spray, whistles. Given how people saw unmarried women it would be a wonder if they were given alms food.

  • @annshawhan9827
    @annshawhan9827 Місяць тому

    Women have been vulnerable physically for far longer than Buddhas existence. Buddhists Monks lived solitary often meditating alone in the forest. Plus just because one is wearing robes does not mean they are fully enlightened. The Buddha has said that the there is nothing dearer to a man than the sound of a woman’s voice and nothing dearer to a woman than the sound of a man’s voice. Also the near enemy of love is lust. People leave the worldly life to divest themselves of the seductive power of the sensual world. So to put men and women together in a monastic situation, is to very much thicken the plot of monastic life. The Catholics have done it and there are many stories of monks and nuns defrocking to marry. Or not. I had the same reaction to what seemed mysogonism coming from the Buddha. He was extremely lucid and most of the rules of the Viniya were developed as a result of the behavior of the unenlightened monastics. Some people even if wearing robes do not behave with common sense so rules were made. They were not all made at once. I have alway seen the Buddha as looking at human nature as a reason to decline women. Not because women were not capable but men’s reaction to women who not only distract men but put women at risk. It is a culture where women’s lives meaning in their own parents eyes unless they were married. Anyway, I do not think the Buddha was anti woman. He was not in control of everyone’s conditioning. He was wanting to keep complications in the monastic Sangha to a minimum.
