- 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.

The merit of this Venerable One is IMPOSSIBLE to measure.
A true gift to humanity.
It is great to see the Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi's audio lectures appearing on RUclips. All the discourses taken together bear a uniform and distinctive flavor, revealing the qualities of the illustrious mind from which they sprang.
The American and European monks have rendered a great service to propagate Buddhism. We salute them.
Thank you Bikkhu Bodhi for clarity of delivery.
Niranjan Selvadurai I was about to write the same thing 😉🙏
@ Sirisen
Yes they did and still they do without any superstition, endless rituals or keep to a minimum, avoiding all politics, without any demands for luxuries, in humility as the way Buddha lived and created the Shanga order. These monks only stick to what is written in the texts, whether they are the truth, questionable or acceptable. They do not add more to suite their agenda. Buddha dhamma WILL survive not in the east but in the West and in the hearts and minds of the genuine people who could read, write, reason and follow the path, Metta
@@truthseeker7759 hard to disagree with your appraisal.
@@truthseeker7759 You mean they stick to what Luang Por Chah taught...:):)
This world has become such a beautiful and meaningful place for all sentient beings because of the Buddha, Dhamma & Sangha
There is a TON of Dhamma gold in these lectures. Thank you for taking the time to put them up!
many blessings for the in depth efforts of your gift to this world. the light you light will keep on burning. with metta

¡¡¡POR FAVOR... SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL!!! Pero, no generados automáticamente (son deficientes). ¡Gracias!
Was great until he started talking about the different plains with different beings and one being human and others not. This is some made up crap that I hope the Buddha didnt teach...
Belief in speculations is not Dhamma.
@Swedish Otaku get to the 4th Jhana and experience various planes for yourself with direct knowledge, before that, don't utter bad words about things you can't comprehend. The Buddha never tell a single lie, he always speak the truth and preserve the truth.
Check this discourse of the Buddha to see for yourself the Path: suttacentral.net/mn51/en/sujato
The realms are real. If you are paying attention. Ever see a beggar...hungry ghost. Ever see the greedy who are never satisfied...the stingy--hungry ghost. Think those being tortured are in a heavenly realm or a hell realm? Not so far fetched - if the mind is wide awake to reality -- as opposed to the biases of one’s own limited thinking and ability
@@cariyaputta I was looking for the gem hidden in the pile of shit that is this disputation. Thank you.
