And again, monks, a monk when going, knows "I am going"; when standing, he knows "I am standing"; when sitting, he knows "I am sitting"; when lying down, he knows "I am lying down"; Or he knows any other positions of the body. Thus he dwells practising body – contemplation on the body internally, or externally, or both internally and externally. He dwells contemplating origination factors in the body, or he dwells contemplating dissolution factors in the body, or he dwells contemplating both

Thus have I heard. At one time the Blessed One was living among the Kurus, at Kammasadamma, a market town of the Kuru people. There the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhu thus: "Monks," and they replied to him, "Venerable Sir."

This is a recording of a public talk given to the Kettering Buddhist Group during Rohatsu Week - the commemoration of the Buddha's Enlightenment. This talk centres on the three temptations of Māra, the Lord of Samsara who was the final obstacle the Great Bodhisattva who sat under the Bodhi Tree had to face prior to his Enlightenment. The character of Māra is important in both early and developed Buddhism. In the Mahayana sutras he is converted to Buddhism but does not lose his character rather

This time: I am finding it harder to get myself to sit meditation and I don’t know why? In this talk we look at the sort of reasons why some people find it difficult to meditate? We can end up fighting with ourselves to get onto the meditation seat, which is in the end counterproductive. Instead we can take the opportunity to gain insight into our own hearts and minds - which is the purpose of meditation in the first place.

Subhuti, what do you think? May the Tathagata be perceived by the thirty-two marks [of a great man]? Subhuti answered: Yes, certainly the Tathagata may be perceived thereby. Then Buddha said: Subhuti, if the Tathagata may be perceived by such marks any great imperial ruler is the same as the Tathagata. Subhuti then said to Buddha: World-honoured One, as I understand the meaning of Buddha’s words the Tathagata may not be perceived by the thirty-two marks.

If I didn’t obey my hunger I would starve. Animals obey their instincts in order to survive. Why did the Buddha link desire to unhappiness and dissatisfaction? This, O Monks, is the Truth of the Arising of Suffering. It is this thirst or craving (tṛṣṇā) which gives rise to rebirth.which is bound up with passionate delight and which seeks fresh pleasure now here and now there in the form of thirst for sensual pleasure, thirst for existence, and thirst for non-existence.

1. Bare-chested and bare-footed he enters the market, Face streaked with dust and head covered with ashes, But a mighty laugh spreads from cheek to cheek. Without troubling himself to work miracles, suddenly dead trees break into bloom. 2. In friendly fashion this fellow comes from a foreign race, with features like those of a horse, or again like a donkey. But on shaking his iron staff, all of a sudden All gates and doors fly wide open for him. 3. From out of his sleeve the iron rod
