Cetana Sutta: Intention
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Alternate translation: Walshe
Staying at Savatthi… [the Blessed One said,] “What one intends, what one arranges, and what one obsesses about:[1] This is a support for the stationing of consciousness. There being a support, there is a landing [or: an establishing] of consciousness. When that consciousness lands and grows, there is the production of renewed becoming in the future. When there is the production of renewed becoming in the future, there is future birth, aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair. Such is the origination of this entire mass of suffering & stress.
“If one doesn’t intend and doesn’t arrange, but one still obsesses [about something], this is a support for the stationing of consciousness. There being a support, there is a landing of consciousness. When that consciousness lands and grows, there is the production of renewed becoming in the future. When there is the production of renewed becoming in the future, there is future birth, aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair. Such [too] is the origination of this entire mass of suffering & stress.
“But when one doesn’t intend, arrange, or obsess [about anything], there is no support for the stationing of consciousness. There being no support, there is no landing of consciousness. When that consciousness doesn’t land & grow, there is no production of renewed becoming in the future. When there is no production of renewed becoming in the future, there is no future birth, aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, or despair. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of suffering & stress.”
Notes
1.
The seven obsessions are: the obsession of sensual passion, the obsession of resistance, the obsession of views, the obsession of uncertainty, the obsession of conceit, the obsession of passion for becoming, and the obsession of ignorance

Wisdom through Mindfulness
A model- how the mind works and more…
These are two preliminary models designed by me after researching Buddhists texts (suttas). I am open to any suggestions to edit these models. I may keep editing these models as I go along researching more Suttas. The model#1 shows how a mind works in an ordinary person. Yellow bubbles in Model#2 shows the points of applicationof TheFoundations of Mindfulness: (Satipatthana Sutta) and how it may work in a fully enlightened being. The green bubble shows The Three Basic Facts of Existence (The Three Characteristics (ti-lakkha.na), Impermanence (Anicca),Suffering or Unsatisfactoriness (dukkha) and Not-self or Insubstantiality (anattaa). This is the final common pathway of contemplation to insight (vipassana).
( Please see labels for more posts on these subjects)
Please Note:
Wise attention (Yoniso manasikara) is a critical point in the flow chart in the model. The wordYoniso manasikara translated in English as wise attention. However I think there is a deeper meaning to this word. Yoniso refers to birth (yoni=birth canal/vagina). Mansikara I think is made of fusion wordManasi+Akara.Manasi means the mind. Akara means method/mechanism (how the mind works). So if you take the entire wordYoniso manasikara this will mean the birth (origin) of how the mind works. This is reason for the name I chose for my model “the mind works.”
Buddha has treated dependent origination many ways. In some suttas has started examining it from the middle. In my flow chart too I am not using the conventional 12 step formula. However I am treating the organism as is and start I from the 6 sense bases as they are ones that connect us to the external world. Please see other posts for detail examinations of dependent origination (se labels on dependent origination)

Awakeness Practices
All 84,000 Khandas As Found in the Pali Suttas
|
Traditionally the are 84,000 Dharma Doors - 84,000 ways to get Awakeness. Maybe so; certainly the Buddha taught a large number of practices that lead to Awakeness. This web page attempts to catalogue those found in the Pali Suttas (DN, MN, SN, AN, Ud & Sn 1). There are 3 sections: |
The discourses of Buddha are divided into 84,000, as to separate addresses. The division includes all that was spoken by Buddha.βI received from Buddha,β said Ananda, β82,000 Khandas, and from the priests 2000; these are 84,000 Khandas maintained by me.β They are divided into 275,250, as to the stanzas of the original text, and into 361,550, as to the stanzas of the commentary. All the discourses including both those of Buddha and those of the commentator, are divided into 2,547 banawaras, containing 737,000 stanzas, and 29,368,000 separate letters.

The Free ONLINE e-NΔlandΔ Research and Practice University has been re-organized to function through the following Schools of Learning :
Buddhaβs Sangha Practiced His Dhamma Free of cost, hence the Free- e-NΔlandΔ Research and Practice University follows suit
As the Original NΔlandΔ University did not offer any Degree, so also the Free e-NΔlandΔ Research and Practice University.
The teachings of Buddha are eternal, but even then Buddha did not proclaim them to be infallible. The religion of Buddha has the capacity to change according to times, a quality which no other religion can claim to haveβ¦Now what is the basis of Buddhism? If you study carefully, you will see that Buddhism is based on reason. There is an element of flexibility inherent in it, which is not found in any other religion.

Hon’ble Chief Minister ji decides to implement ambitious Manyawar Sri Kanshiram ji Shahri SC/ST Bahulya Basti Samgra Vikas Yojana to improve living conditions of these dwellings
About Rs. 2000 crore to be spent on the scheme
250 SC/ST dominated urban bastis to be selected in descending order
Lucknow : 11 March 2011
The Honβble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Ms. Mayawati ji, with
a view to improving the living conditions of the SC/ST dominated bastis
of urban areas, has decided to implement Manyawar Sri Kanshiram ji
Shahri SC/ST Bahulya Basti Samgra Vikas Yojana. About Rs. 2000 crore
would be spent under this scheme.
Giving this information here today, the Cabinet Secretary Mr.
Shashank Shekhar Singh said that during the surprise inspection
conducted by the Hon’ble Chief Minister ji recently, she felt that the
urban SC/STs and poor had not got their dues so far. He said that the
Hon’ble Chief Minister ji from time to time has repeated that the SC/STs,
backwards and other deprived sections had been totally ignored for
centuries under the unequal social system prevalent in the country,
but under the Indian Constitution, framed by Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao
Ambedkar, these sections got legal rights to get the benefit of
development for the first time.
The Cabinet Secretary said that the Hon’ble Chief Minister ji
giving serious thought to the poor condition of the SC/STs and other
deprived sections, at first decided to implement Dr. Ambedkar Gram
Sabha Vikas Yojana for the all-round development of dalit dominated
villages of the State. Several development schemes were being
implemented under this scheme in the rural areas.
Likewise, the Hon’ble Chief Minister ji decided to implement
various schemes like Manyawar Sri Kanshiram ji Shahri Samgra Vikas
Yojana, Sarvjan Hitay Shahri Garib Makan (Slum area) Malikana Haq
Yojana and Manyawar Sri Kanshiram ji Shahri Garib Avas Yojana for
the benefit of SC/STs residing in urban areas. He said that the Hon’ble
U.P. Chief Minister ji is the only Chief Minister of the Country who has
conducted surprise inspection of all the districts of the State.
The Cabinet Secretary said that under the scheme these bastis
would be saturated with all the 18 programmes in a phased and timely
manner. He said that the master plan of the selected bastis would be
prepared by the Chief Town Planner. Under the scheme, 250 SC/ST
dominated urban bastis would be selected which had 50 per cent or
above SC/ST population in a descending order during the first phase. A
provision of Rs. 3 crore has been made for C.C. roads only for the
bastis falling within the limits of Nagar Nigam areas. The selection of
the bastis would be made by the committee headed by DM/Division
Commissioner.
Mr. Singh said that the review of the financial and physical
progress of various programmes to be implemented under the
schemes would be made at division and district level on regular basis.
He said that these bastis would also be benefited by various schemes
and facilities being implemented previously. He said that under the
scheme, facilities like drinking water supply, sewerage, drains, solid
waste management (waste management), construction of C.C. roads
and closed drains in selected SC/ST bastis, electrification/street lighting
etc would be provided. Besides, these bastis would also be covered by
various pension schemes like, old age pension, family benefit scheme,
aid to destitute widows and disabled pension. Moreover, mother and
child welfare health centres would also be set up and various health
schemes which include setting up of health centres, vaccination,
mother and child welfare, birth-death registration, blindness control,
T.B. control and leprosy eradication programme etc. would also be
implemented. He said that primary schools would also be set up in the
selected bastis and students belonging to SC/ST, backward caste,
minorities, general category and disabled students would be covered
under the scholarship scheme. He said that the eligible persons would
be provided ration cards and housing facilities. Besides, the eligible
persons would also be covered under employment schemes like Swarn
Jayanti Shahri Rozgar Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Rozgar Yojana, Saghan
Mini Dairy Yojana (wherever applicable), Khadi Gramodyog, minorities,
backward classes and SC/ST employment programmes. They would
also be benefited by Swachchhkar Vimukti Yojana. Besides, community
centres would also be constructed and beautification of parks would
also be undertaken. Moreover, schemes like Savitri Bai Phule Shiksha
Madad Yojana, U.P. Mukhyamantri Mahamaya Garib Arthik Madad
Yojana and Mahamaya Garib Balika Ashirwad Yojana would also be
implemented.
