- Bhikkhu Bodhi (born December 10, 1944), born Jeffrey Block, is an American Theravada Buddhist monk, ordained in Sri Lanka and currently teaching in the New York and New Jersey area. He was appointed the second president of the Buddhist Publication Society and has edited and authored several publications grounded in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
In 1944, Block was born in Brooklyn, New York, from Jewish parents. In 1966, he obtained a B.A. in philosophy from Brooklyn College. In 1972, he obtained a PhD in philosophy from Claremont Graduate University.[2][3]
In 1967, while still a graduate student, Bodhi was ordained as a śrāmaṇera (novitiate) in the Vietnamese Mahayana order. In 1972, after graduation, Bodhi traveled to Sri Lanka where, under Balangoda Ananda Maitreya Thero,[4] he received sāmaṇera ordination in the Theravada school and, in 1973, he received full ordination as a Theravada bhikkhu or monk.
In 1984, succeeding co-founder Nyanaponika Thera, Bodhi was appointed English-language editor of the Buddhist Publication Society (BPS, Sri Lanka) and, in 1988, became its president. In 2002, he retired from the society's editorship while still remaining its president.
In 2000, at the United Nations' first official Vesak celebration, Bodhi gave the keynote address.
In 2002, after retiring as editor of BPS, Bodhi returned to the United States. He currently teaches at Bodhi Monastery (Lafayette Township, New Jersey) and Chuang Yen Monastery (Carmel, New York) and is the chairman of the Yin Shun Foundation.
Bhikkhu Bodhi is founder of the organisation Buddhist Global Relief, which fights hunger across the world.
In the fall of 1979, while living at the Washington Buddhist Vihara, Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi gave a series of lectures on the fundamental teachings of Early Buddhism. Bhante Gunaratana, at the time the President of the Buddhist Vihara Society, suggested he record the lectures so that the Vihara could distribute them as a set of cassette tapes.
In the summer of 1981, Ven. Bodhi recorded his ten lectures in the basement of the Washington Buddhist Vihara, using an ordinary, nonprofessional recorder. An enthusiastic lay supporter had the master copies reproduced in large quantities for expanded distribution. They have continued to be distributed on tape and as CDs for over twenty-five years, and are considered “public domain” for anyone to copy and distribute freely. The one condition is that they must not be sold.
This world has become such a beautiful and meaningful place for all sentient beings because of the Buddha, Dhamma & Sangha

A good gardner is feeding the birds from his heart and they are making his garden a paradise. Is like a good teacher is teaching his student. A good teacher is throwing to your feet a fruit, like a walnut. If a teacher, then you will find the fruit inside. If the teacher is not real, the shell will be empty. But only the snake was the one to say to reach for the fruit. What a teacher would want from his student? I am an enlightened being and they fly around me as birds. Humble bees are getting inside the bees nest, to steel their honey, But they all want and come to eat. All you need is to eat. The evil comes as innocent and loving you greatly from his heart. And it is throwing worms inside water, for you to get the fruit. And it knows what you want and what you need. But all good fruits are on the ground. WHO ARE YOU BHIKKHU BODHI TO REJECT ME FROM A SANGHA? WHAT DID BUDDHA SAY ABOUT THIS? WHO ARE YOU ALLOWED TO REJECT, IF THE ONE HAS THE WISH TO TAKE AND LEARN THE DHAMMA AND JOIN A BUDDHIST SANGHA? IS THIS RIGHT TO REJECT ME?
I really think it could be true, that I am talking to him, he said that is, why he came to me and teaches me, because you are not able to give me the third requirement, for me to take the buddhist path, the SANGHA.
I feed the bird down in the valley , giving her the teaching, and she flies and returns to me freely. And as more as I teach, as higher she can fly. And she always return freely. And as it receives her last teaching, she can reach the highest mountain and never return back.
What?
Moron says what? @@slowdown7276
