A BLUE PRINT FOR LIFE
ON LOVING KINDNESS
AND COMPASSION
THE WAY OF AFFINITY
In
a saying:”Benevolence is unmatched”.
In the words of Buddhism, “Loving – kindness and
Compassion have no match”. Loving –kindness and
Compassion can overcome all negativity. Ine thought of
Loving – kindness and compassion can eliminate greed, anger,
Arrogance and fear. In this modern age of scientific
Development, it has been found that human communication
Is far more important than all the discoveries of science

Technology. How can there be perfect communication among
People? It can only happen through the practice of loving –
Kindness, compassion and the four means of embracing
Virtues: giving charity, affectionate speech, conduct
Beneficially to others, and cooperation with others and
Adaptation of oneself to others to lead them to the truth.
Only
When people consider all sentient beings with eyes, words,
Expression, voice, and mind of loving – kindness and
Compassion and create affinities with all sentient beings

The Wind and the Moon
[Friendship]
Once upon a time, there were two very good
friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one
was a lion and one was a tiger. They had met when they were too young to know
the difference between lions and tigers. So they did not think their friendship
was at all unusual. Besides, it was a peaceful part of the mountains, possibly
due to the influence of a gentle forest monk who lived nearby. He was a hermit,
one who lives far away from other people.
For some unknown reason, one day the two
friends got into a silly argument. The tiger said, “Everyone knows the
cold comes when the moon wanes from full to new!” The lion said,
“Where did you hear such nonsense? Everyone knows the cold comes when the
moon waxes from new to full!”
The argument got stronger and stronger.
Neither could convince the other. They could not reach any conclusion to
resolve the growing dispute. They even started calling each other names!
Fearing for their friendship, they decided to go ask the learned forest monk,
who would surely know about such things.
Visiting the peaceful hermit, the lion and
tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk
thought for a while and then gave his answer. “It can be cold in any phase
of the moon, from new to full and back to new again. It is the wind that brings
the cold, whether from west or north or east. Therefore, in a way, you are both
right! And neither of you is defeated by the other. The most important thing is
to live without conflict, to remain united. Unity is best by all means.”
The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit.
They were happy to still be friends.
The moral is: Weather comes and weather goes, but friendship
remains.

To,
Respected Radhavallabh
Tripathi
Kind attention Dr. Shukla Mukherjee
I wish to state that I am regularly
posting COMPREHENSIVE PĀLI COURSE in my website http://sarvaj.ambedkar.org.
Abstract in English
“COMPREHENCIVE
P ĀLI COURSE
THE PALI LANGUAGE
Pāḷi
means “Buddha Vacanam”, the word of the
Buddha
consisting the texts of the Tipitaka, the sacred Buddhist Canon,
containing the original teachings
of the Buddha. Pāḷi also means
“Protection”Hence we come across
the phrase, “Imaṁ tāva pāliyaṁ, aṭṭhakathāyaṁ
pana” which occur in the texts of Tipitaka. In the commentaries however …”.
In Pāḷi lexicon the definition of Pāḷi
is given thus: “Pa-paleti,
rakkhati ti Pāḷi: since it
preserves the the ‘Buddha Vacana’ in the
form of the sacred texts. It is called Pāḷi.
As to the origin of Pāḷi,
Emperor Ashoka has left
an evidence in his Bhabhri edict, “Imāni bhante
Dhammapaliyāyāni: These, Venerable Sir, are the texts
of the Dhamma.” In course of time, paliyāyā
became Pāḷi, an elliptical form. The home of Pāḷi is
That is why it is also known as
Māgadhi.
“Sammāsambuddhene vuttappakāra
māgadhiko vohāro
–
The
Māgadhi medium used by the Supremely
Awakened
One.” The Māgadhi language was the
lingua
franca of region comprising
Pradesh,
and area otherwise called Gangetic plain,
washed and
fertilized by two river systems,
and Yamuna.
The
Buddha purposely did not speak in Chandas,
the language of Vedas, also called as
Vedic Sanskrit. He
spoke in the language of the common
people.
“Anujānāmi bhikkhave sakāyaniruttiā Buddhavacanaṁ
pariyāpunitaṁ - Monks, I instruct that the words of the
Buddha are learnt in the standard vernacular
of the masses.”
It is quiet obvious that
had the Buddha given
instructions in Vedic Sanskrit, Buddhism would have
become distorted and turned into another Theistic
doctrine beyond the grasp of common people, accessible
only to the elite class. This is one reason, why Pāḷi is
subjected to step-motherly treatment
by sanskritists.
In
the interest of Sanskrit, at least classical Sanskrit,
which is widely studied today. Pāḷi
should be propagated
as a sister discipline. This apart,
chronologically, Pāḷi is
decidedly older than modern classical
Sanskrit.
It
is hoped that in the age of science and technology
when language studies are becoming more and
more
objective, Pāḷi
should be studied widely as a discipline
inseparable from other classical
languages of Prabuddha Bharath.”
I
