In the discourses the Buddha is often depicted taking up the topic of recitation when explaining to monks the proper way to learn the teachings, and make these teachings the vessel within which their own wisdom can grow.
Many of the audios and videos found on this page are the result of late Luangpor Dhammavuddho’s thousands of hours of study and practice of the Buddha’s Words found in the Sutta and Vinaya.
Luangpor Dhammavuddho has enlivened these Suttas in his talks and made the Dhamma strikingly accessible. The Buddha’s teachings found in the Suttas are invaluable, and no amount of gold can come close to its worth!
The gems are found here, especially in the Sutta talks. Herein lies the heartwood, so to speak.
'Calm is his thought,
calm his speech, and
calm his deed,
who, truly knowing,
is wholly freed,
perfectly tranquil and wise.'
- Dhammapada Verse 96
'Should a person do good,
let him do it again and again.
Let him find pleasure therein,
for blissful is the accumulation of good.'
'Puññaṃ ce puriso
kayirā kayirāthetaṃ punappunaṃ
Tamhi chandaṃ kayirātha
sukho puññassa uccayo.'
- Dhammapada Verse 118
A Dhamma Sharing
by Āyasmā Aggacittaon 8 July 2017
at Buddhist Gem Fellowship, Selangor.
Asalha Puja commemorates the Buddha's first teaching: 'the Turning of the Wheel of Dhamma' (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) to the five ascetics at the Deer Park (Sarnath) near Benares, India, on the full moon day of the 8th lunar month according to the old Indian calendar.
Theravada (pronounced — more or less — "terra-VAH-dah"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the Tipitaka, or Pali canon, which scholars generally agree contains the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings. For many centuries, Theravada has been the predominant religion of continental Southeast Asia (Thailand, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, and Laos) and Sri Lanka. Today Theravada Buddhists number well over 100 million worldwide. In recent decades Theravada has begun to take root in the West.
