The Thorn in Your Heart (Attadaṇḍa #Sutta)
Fear is born from arming oneself.
Just see how many people fight!
I’ll tell you about the dreadful fear
that caused me to shake all over:
Seeing creatures flopping around,
Like fish in water too shallow,
So hostile to one another!
—Seeing this, I became afraid.

This world completely lacks essence;
It trembles in all directions.
I longed to find myself a place
Unscathed—but I could not see it.

Is it wrong to stop label people as evil? People are conditioned to be good or bad. That means a person can change with the right condition. If we believe people are permanently evil than we don’t need prison cause it would be wasteful.

Another super problematic passage in the #PaliCanon is the #sutta where the #Buddha teaches the monks that they can overcome #sexual #lust if, when they see a honey in the village, to visualize her as a dead rotting corpse.

I get the point, the bodily pleasures aren’t worthwhile because of human mortality and blah blah blah

This is #Buddhist temple of Mahayana tradition. I know the founder of this temple also teach #sutta. If you like to learn about #meditation checkout this place. It is FREE

“We will develop and cultivate the liberation of mind by lovingkindness, make it our vehicle, make it our basis, stabilize it, exercise ourselves in it, and fully perfect it.” ~ Buddha

I noticed in Buddhist circle we idolized our teachers a lot. It seems like they are above the Buddha. Is this very healthy for us to practice Buddhism? In Asia, sometimes we even label some teachers as "Living Buddha". Is that right?

“There are these five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained. Which five?
“‘I am subject to aging, have not gone beyond aging.’
“‘I am subject to illness, have not gone beyond illness’.…
“‘I am subject to death, have not gone beyond death’….

Slipping Away
Heraññakāni Thera
Thag 145

accayanti ahorattā,
jīvitaṃ uparujjhati,
āyu khīyati maccānaṃ
kunnadīnaṃ va odakaṃ.

Days and nights go hurtling by
Till our lifetime comes to an end.
the life of mortals slips away
—Like the water of tiny streams.

Mother Rain
S 1:80

vuṭṭhi alasam analasañca
mātā puttaṃ va posati
vuṭṭhibhūtā upajīvanti
ye pāṇā pathaviṃ sitā ti

The rain pours down on weak and strong
As a mother nurtures her child.
The spirits of the rain sustain
All creatures who dwell on the earth.

Voici un extrait de l’une de nos dernières traductions, où le Bouddha dit au Vénérable Sandha de méditer comme un pur-sang plutôt que comme un poulain sauvage.

Dans ce Sutta, le Bouddha compare les dangers du monde à un hameçon de pêcheur. Il explique que les formes, les sons et les phénomènes mentaux qui sont désirables et séduisants peuvent agir comme des hameçons qui apportent calamité et désastre si on les recherche. Cependant, si l'on ne recherche pas ces choses séduisantes, on peut éviter les hameçons et le Maléfique ne pourra pas en faire ce qu'il veut.

Le Mettasutta est un texte bouddhiste qui présente les enseignements du Bouddha sur la pratique de la bienveillance, également appelée "metta" en pali, qui signifie "amour bienveillant" ou "compassion".

Small victory 😄

Got a first model out, maxing out at ~30% accuracy. A second iteration tweaking the learning rate seems on a better trajectory.

For this #LanguageModel I used the entire #Sutta Nipata both as training and evaluation sets, so there's a chance the model is memorizing more than learning. I'll test it out on the Vinaya just to see how it generalizes.

But when in the world of darkness Buddhas arise to make things bright, They present this profound teaching Which brings suffering to an end. Vipallasa Sutta: Distortions of the Mind.
