Venerable Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda, a Sri Lanka Buddhist scholar monk. I attended his lecture for few times in Malaysia. His book: "What Buddhist Believe" is a very good one for research about Buddhism.
If anyone in the world wants to find out what real Buddhism is, please listen to the sermons of Ven. K. Sri Dhammananda....... His demise is a great loss to the whole world of spiritual seekers....... 🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏
Our mind is in the dark...but as long as I realize this...the enlightening comes even in spite of that through these dhamma teachings, so one tormented soul less
The solution to fear and anxiety is the relationship with Jesus Christ. Receive him into your hearts. Bible says, for God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.
Hi! I'm new to Buddhism. Religare and religio really mean to bond and obligation. but Religion meant "life under monastic vows" (middle english. My source is the google etymology of the word). And aren't Buddhist monks obligated and bonded to their rules? No sex, no alcohol and so on?... And didn't the Buddha give out the rules for this type of life? Or am I supposed to see the Buddhist monk life as an effort to release oneself from human and divine bonds like hunger and anger and so on?
My understanding is that each monastic rule has been established as a response to a specific incident during the Buddha's time. Monks and nuns are bound by their rules. And there are different penalties for breaking different rules. The most grievous ones result in the expulsion from the order of monks/nuns. Ideally, a monk/nun takes on these rules as a part of an effort to find release from suffering. The rules are meant to cultivate the ability to let go. However, the Buddha has given permission for monks to change minor rules after his death, but monks decided early on to keep the rules unchanged because it might be difficult to reach a consensus. But at least in theory, monks have the power to change their rules according to the place and time that they live in. So, in a sense, the rules are not so rigid.But in another sense they are rigid because they can be quite detailed and they can put strict regulations on how a monk can interact with the rest of the world. But at the end of the day, being a monk is a choice.
To live without fear and worry, we need justice and fair share for all of us. No religion has ever provided that to the society, certainly not Buddhism..... the gospel of Gouthama was " Dasa naa pabbaje thabbo" (Slaves are not allowed to be a bhikku) and hundreds of dicriminatory anti social dharmas......such as varna dharma, kula dharma, jati dharma, gunas dharma...karma pala, you name it .....certainly we need justice through fair play...... not through iron age nonsense.
I am a Sri Lankan and you are obviously from Sri Lanka too. I am sad that you are mis-interpreting the Dhamma preached by Lord Buddha, the compassionate one who preached against all forms of discrimination. You have taken the word 'Slave" in the simple form it is used. The Buddha's meant those who are enslaved by "Loba, Dosa and Moha" - those who are still attached to vices like anger, hatred, greed, etc are not suited for monkhood. You should study Buddhism in depth before you make such stupid comments.
+Janaka Rabukwella It is too bad that such concepts are at the core of Buddhism. When I see a content monk, in a blissful state, being forgiving, patient, virtuous, all the good qualities. I cannot help but think how to idea of being reborn in a better life contributes to those qualities. In other words, what is the effect of the firm belief in reincarnation? This is something I cannot judge, for I cannot have that firm belief in such concepts as a science enthusiast. From my perspective of the world, I cannot judge or understand the magnitude of the effect of a belief in reincarnation. I cannot know how that alters my perception and hence my actions. So the question remains for me: What part of the effect of Buddhism is caused by the rebirth ideas and what part is caused by the practice of Buddhist logic and action. This is where my mind shuts down and the study and practice of Buddhism becomes clouded with hesitation.
+Paretozen - "how to idea of being reborn in a better life contributes to those qualities" What do you mean by better life? Give some examples of what you think a better life is. Thanks
Karl BHX Maybe for monks that idea would be more insight into their mind, closer to their perceived truth. For me personally it would be a life with fewer compulsions, more focused and disciplined. And then for another laymen group it could be a life out of poverty. It seems that this is related to ones current situation. In any case, it would seem to be an improvement over ones current life with respect to the qualities that the buddha teaches. Which would be something to look forward to, to anticipate, to prepare for, to take action on, to feel something about, to have influence in your way of thinking.
Actually, Einstein said that science without religion is lame and that religion without science is blind. This alleged guru should get his quotations right if he wants to be taken seriously. And to those listening to this guru, they should understand that there is a critical difference between what this guru said Einstein said and what Einstein actually said.
This speech is not regarding Einstein or his quotes, Try to understand the intention of the speech as a whole, you're just worrying only about a one sentence while there're still so many things in his speech you could add to your life. Practice to see good in things also rather than finding only mistakes and bad. God Bless You !

Ven. Dhammananda gave me samanerahood. I am thanking his great kindness that he gave me long ago. May he be at peace!
I just read this book, and in my own opinion, this is a golden book for human. It let us know how to live with harmony and happiness during our life.
K. Sri Dhammananda (18 March 1919 - 31 August 2006) was a Sri Lankan Buddhist monk and scholar.
A gifted teacher of the Dhamma....
