Bija Sutta: Means of Propagation
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
At Savatthi. There the Blessed One addressed the monks: “Monks.”
“Yes, lord,” the monks responded.
The Blessed One said: “Monks, there are these five means of propagation. Which five? Root-propagation, stem-propagation, joint-propagation, cutting-propagation, & seed-propagation as the fifth. And if these five means of propagation are not broken, not rotten, not damaged by wind & sun, mature, and well-buried, but there is no earth and no water, would they exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation?”
“No, lord.”
“And if these five means of propagation are broken, rotten, damaged by wind & sun, immature, and poorly-buried, but there is earth & water, would they exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation?”
“No, lord.”
“And if these five means of propagation are not broken, not rotten, not damaged by wind & sun, mature, and well-buried, and there is earth & water, would they exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation?”
“Yes, lord.”
“Like the earth property, monks, is how the four standing-spots for consciousness should be seen. Like the liquid property is how delight & passion should be seen. Like the five means of propagation is how consciousness together with its nutriment should be seen.
“Should consciousness, when taking a stance, stand attached to (a physical) form, supported by form,[1] established on form, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation.
“Should consciousness, when taking a stance, stand attached to feeling, supported by feeling, established on feeling, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation.
“Should consciousness, when taking a stance, stand attached to perception, supported by perception, established on perception, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation.
“Should consciousness, when taking a stance, stand attached to fabrications, supported by fabrications, established on fabrications, watered with delight, it would exhibit growth, increase, & proliferation.
“Were someone to say, ‘I will describe a coming, a going, a passing away, an arising, a growth, an increase, or a proliferation of consciousness apart from form, from feeling, from perception, from fabrications,’ that would be impossible.
“If a monk abandons passion for the property of form…
“If a monk abandons passion for the property of feeling…
“If a monk abandons passion for the property of perception…
“If a monk abandons passion for the property of fabrications…
“If a monk abandons passion for the property of consciousness, then owing to the abandonment of passion, the support is cut off, and there is no base for consciousness. Consciousness, thus unestablished, not proliferating, not performing any function, is released. Owing to its release, it is steady. Owing to its steadiness, it is contented. Owing to its contentment, it is not agitated. Not agitated, he (the monk) is totally unbound right within. He discerns that ‘Birth is ended, the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world.’”
Notes
1.
“Supported by form”: I.e., having form as its object. Similarly for feeling, perception, and fabrications.

This year the party has decided to hold district- level functions to commemorate the occasion and has directed all the leaders to propagate the achievements of the BSP government besides highlighting the schemes and projects on the name of the SC/ST leaders, including Kanshi Ram ji.
Cut-outs of several SC/ST leaders have been erected on the roads of the state capital while the streets near the Chief Minister’s residence are flanked by blue flags.

BAHUJAN SAMAJ PARTY
Karnataka State
The 77th Birth Anniversary of Manyavar Kanshi Ramji
The Messiah who instilled courage among the Bahujan Samaj of India to dream big and taught them to speak the language of winners
Date: 15.03.2011 Time: 11.00 am
Place: Bahujan Samaj Party State Office, Shivajinagar, Bangalore.
Dear Bahujan Brothers and Sisters,
Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar made all the provisions required for the Bahujan Samaj (SC/ST/OBC & Religious Minorities) to liberate itself from the Brahminical Social Order and lead a life of self-respect. He gave the Constitution based on the principles of Equality, Liberty and Fraternity, parliamentary democracy to implement that Constitution and finally he advised the Bahujan Samaj to form its own national party and unite under one leader. Everything was made easy for the Bahujan Samaj to become the ruling samaj. But we, the Bahujan Samaj, have remained in slavery suffering all sorts of injustice and discrimination even to this day! Why? Are we not willing to end our slavery?
Babasaheb Ambedkar has brought a revolutionary change in law and political system creating ample opportunities for us to rise. But the Bahujan Samaj was unwilling to change its mindset to avail the new opportunities in the changed circumstances. (Ofcourse, Manuvadis too have not changed their mindset and we cannot even expect them to change!) The people who have no desire to change, have no courage to dream big, have no determination to realize such dreams and not willing to take the responsibility in that direction will be destined to remain in slavery despite living amidst opportunities!
Manyawar Kanshi Ram Saheb, the Messiah of Bahujan Samaj, was the one who instilled courage to the frustrated communities to dream big, strong determination to realize that dream and made them to take responsibility for their liberation. He taught us the language of power politics and led us from the front towards the sublime goal of liberation.
The greatness of Dadasaheb Kanshi Ramji lies in his ability to make the Bahujan Samaj speak the LANGUAGE OF WINNERS. His famous slogan “vote hamara raj tumhara, nahin chalega nahin chalega” has been considered as one of the ten powerful slogans that changed the political face of India. When he said, “votonvale jeethega, notonvale haarega” the penniless Bahujan Samaj gathered courage and confidence to challenge the money, mafia and media forces in politics. The crafty Manuvadis were capable of keeping the Bahujan Samaj divided and instigating one against the other in independent India. But their attempts were ended in frustration when the Bahujan Samaj followed its Messiah’s advise, “ Jat chodo samaj jodo”! Today Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the only political party of Bahujan Samaj, is the third biggest national party for the hitherto gullible masses who have learnt to follow its Leader’s command, “Jo bahujan ki baath karega woh delhi pe raj karega”!
Kanshi Ramji, born in an ordinary farmer’s family, has joined the line of greatest leaders of the world who changed the history of mankind.
Manyavar Kanshi Ramji was born on March 15, 1934 to the Sikh Ramdasia couple Hari Singh and Bishan Kaur in Khawaspur village of Ropar District of Punjab State. He, having obtained B.Sc. degree, joined as a Junior Scientist in Central Institute of Military Explosives (CISE). In 1964 he had to protest the management’s refusal to declare the holiday for Dr.Ambedkar Jayanti. He succeeded in getting the holiday declared for Ambedkar Jayanti and this event made him to shoulder the responsibility of running the Ambedkarite movement. He dedicated his life to make the Bahujan Samaj into a ruling samaj as envisioned by Dr.Ambedkar. It was an uphill task demanding an extraordinary sacrifice. Kanshi Ramji did not go back from his decision. He decided not to get married, not to acquire property of his own and not go back to his native place till he fulfill the dream of Dr.Ambedkar. He went round the whole country to educate and organize the Bahujan Samaj in this direction.
Today, as a result of the incessant struggle and sacrifice of Kanshi Ramji, BSP the party he founded on April 14, 1984 is ruling Uttar Pradesh,the largely populated state of India, for the fourth time creating unforeseen socio-economic change under the leadership of Iron Lady Behen Mayawatiji. The leadership of BSP, the fastest growing party of India, is taking every section of Bahujan Samaj into its fold across the caste, creed, religion, region and language barriers. Now the Manuvadis have resorted to all sorts of nataks to fool the Bahujan Samaj. But the awakened Bahujan Samaj is marching towards Delhi saying “ UP to hamari hai, ab Delhi ki bari hai”!
Babasaheb Ambedkar got us the right to vote and Dadasaheb Kanshi Ram showed us the true power of vote!
The Bahujan Samaj of India is saluting its Messiah Kanshi Ramji for his incomparable struggle and sacrifice. His 77th birth anniversary is being celebrated as the “Bahujan Samaj Din” all over the nation. We request you to take part in this countrywide celebration to work towards building “Prabuddha Bharat”, the Awakened India. Jaibhim, Jaibharath.

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.”I received from Buddha,” said Ananda, “82,000 Khandas, and from the priests 2000; these are 84,000 Khandas maintained by me.” 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.
BUDDHA (EDUCATE)! DHAMMA (MEDITATE)! SANGHA (ORGANISE)!
WISDOM IS POWER
Awakened One Shows the Path to Attain Eternal Bliss
Using such an instrument
The Free ONLINE e-Nālandā Research and Practice University has been re-organized to function through the following Schools of Learning :
Buddha’s Sangha Practiced His Dhamma Free of cost, hence the Free- e-Nālandā Research and Practice University follows suit
As the Original Nālandā University did not offer any Degree, so also the Free e-Nālandā 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 have…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.
