www.accesstoins... ( Beyond Coping )
Read " What Buddha Taught" by Walpola Rahula , www.accesstoins... (End Of suffering),
Books by Bhikkhu Bodhi are highly recommend
2) How I studied Buddhism :
Start listening to the Buddhist mp3s ( Specially Suttas ) When you commute( Or anytime you can) . Get an mp3 player or a phone, Download audio files from the provided links, transfer to your mp3 device, get some good headphones ( HD 202 ,ep630 ) , Start listening and understanding the theorems and its applications. Taking notes is encouraged. I listen average 2 hours Mon-Fri. This is the fastest way to study Dhamma. You got to think attentively & logically about what you learn. It took me around 6 months to get the basics.
3) Practice the materials you learnt. Simply be virtuous , develop concentration and wisdom by doing Samata, Vipassana, Metta loving Kindness meditations. Only you can purify your mind & achieve the highest happiness nibbana. There is work to be done by you. You can always reach monks or me for help. Try meditating at least 2hours a day total in morning and night.
Sure. Thanks for the tip. So far Ajahn Brahm's talks are the only talks I've listened to. He makes aspects of Buddhism easy for a westerner like me to grasp!
No, somebody just sent me some info on Vipassana. They didn't have clear insight into nature of my question :-) . I don't believe the circumstances that led to the Buddha discovering Vipassana are well understood. He knew and had practiced Samatha since his youth, but little is said about how he came to discover Vipassana. That is the nature of my question and not what Vipassana means. Which by comparison is a simple question to find the answer to.
Thank you for your reply but that didn't answer my question. My question was not , "What does Vipassana mean." That answer is very easy to come by. My question is .... What are the circumstance that help lead the Buddha to discover Vipassana? I believe it is an important question because prior to the Buddha nobody was practicing it.
I am curious, too. Did you ever find your answer?
Can somebody tell me what were the exact circumstance that led to the Buddha discoving vipasanna? I have been searching for the answer to this question for a while. For any helpful input-- Let me thank you in advanced.
