About Me
- Shravasti Dhammika
- I am not the 5th or 9th reincarnation of a great lama, I have not recived any empowerments or initiations, I am not the holder of any lineage, I am yet to attain any of the jhanas, I am not a widely respected teacher, I am not a stream enterer (at least I don't feel like one)and I do not have many disciples. Nontheless, you may find some of my observations and musings interesting. I have been a Buddhist monk for 32 years and am the spiritual advisor to the Buddha Dhamma Mandala Society in Singapore.

Is it ok if you post the transcript online? Thanks!
This in an important topic. Thank you for posting it, Bhante. In my five years of on-again/off-again practice, I have found metitation frustrating or not helpful and have been guilty of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. This talk is a good reminder not to give up on the Dhamma nor discount the other six parts of the path. Indeed, I have experienced more happiness and joy practicing real-life metta and Dana than I have every derived from only meditation. I know that meditation is important and I continue to work on that. It's good to hear your voice!
I remember somewhere in the Sutta-pitaka, the Buddha says the Dhamma practioners MUST practice Metta. It seems, somewhere in the Anguttara-nikaya as you mentioned in your talks? Could you help point to the Pali source, Bhante? Thanks!
How soothing and reassuring. Thank you. Metta, always...

"he did not teach the Noble 1 fold path"
Quite Nice to hear.
I wish they would invite you to more places to deliver Lectures.
Even i like some others, have Experimented More on Samatha Meditation Types, found it quite an Exiting Experience and when i tried to Simulate it again could not get it, Finally realising that I am Craving for one type of sensation.
My Mistakes have not Ceased even now, where iam trying to attach more importance to Vipassana & Mindfullness.
Your Lecture is a Good food For thought.
However i feel in India since there are many Hindus, in genral Lay people of all religions naturally tend to attach less Importance to Aspects of Mediation and more on the other Rights , such as Right Livley hood, Right Speech , Right Action etc.
This is Precisley the Reason why i see in Goenkajis Retreats they insists on Practise & More Practise.
Many thanks for this talk. I have been very confused how to place sexual relationships in the context Buddhist practice. On the one hand sexual relationships appeared to be an impediment to spiritual development. My personal experience seemed to bear that out. I experienced my sexuality as a craving. On the other hand people who inspired me and were obviously leading a spiritual life were in sexual relationships. I guess I take things too literally perhaps. Your talk helped me realize that one's sexuality can be a force good in the right context. And many thanks for reminding us of the importance of the other 6 parts to the Dharma! (more talks please)
the mp3s can't be found anymore..are there any alternative sources ?
Thanks..
I was also looking for the lecture in mp3. I thought it was very interesting the first time I heard it. Hope to be able to listen to it again.
