LESSON 207
Course Programs
Anopama, the Millionaire’s Daughter
Born in a high-ranking family
with much property, great wealth,
consummate in complexion & figure,
I was the daughter of Majjha, the treasurer.
Sons of kings sought for me,
sons of rich merchants
longed for me.
One of them sent my father a messenger,
saying, “Give me Anopama.
I will give in return
eight times her weight
in jewels & gold.”
But I, having seen
the One Self-awakened,
unsurpassed, excelling the world,
paid homage to his feet,
sat down to one side.
He, Gotama, from sympathy,
taught me the Dhamma.
And as I sat in that very seat,
I attained the third fruit
[of non-return.]
Then I cut off my hair,
and went forth into homelessness.
Today is the seventh day
since I made craving
wither away.

POLITICS is SACRED with GOOD GOVERNANCE
All the doles
announced to more than 85 % of the poor by Political Parties amounts to less
than 15% of the total budget of the state. More than 85% of the budget will be
enjoyed by 15% population of rich politicians and capitalists after cornering
votes from the poor and the black money will be deposited in Foreign Banks to
benefit those countries. For equal distribution of wealth, vote BSP.

With its poll promises, the AIADMK also launched a full frontal attack on archrivals DMK by promising to retrieve for the original owner any land that had been grabbed by DMK patriarch M Karunanidhiโs family, DMK ministers or their henchmen. Giving the assurance that all schemes promised by the AIADMK would be implemenยญted, along with continuing all existing welfare schemes, party general secretary J Jayalalithaa released the manifesto in Tiruchirapalli. The AIADMK went one step ahead of the DMK on the question of benefits for the people, promising four goats to the poorest of BPL families, and also three cents of land to build a house, for those among them who do not have one. Invoking the cable TV policy from its 2001-2006 stint in power, the AIADMK promisยญed to end the monopoly in the business. Cable TV services would be provided by the government at reduced rates, the manifesto promised. The party also hit a key election issue, promising to control rising prices by striking down on blackmarketing, hoarding and price fixing. Setting eyes on rural voters, the manifesto promised uninterrupted power supply, besides three-phase connections across the state in four years. Solar power generation too will be vastly improved. Farm production will be doubled and nine percent agricultural growth ensured. Annual rice production will be improved from 8.6 million tonnes to 13.45 million tonnes. High quality seeds and farm equipment will be provided and 30,000 hectares of farmland would be brought under a special micro irrigation scheme. The youth, backward classes, minorities and self help groups were wooed with a slew of measures and promises of new SEZs.

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.โI received from Buddha,โ said Ananda, โ82,000 Khandas, and from the priests 2000; these are 84,000 Khandas maintained by me.โ 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-Nฤlandฤ Research and Practice University has been re-organized to function through the following Schools of Learning :
Buddhaโs Sangha Practiced His Dhamma Free of cost, hence the Free- e-Nฤlandฤ Research and Practice University follows suit
As the Original Nฤlandฤ University did not offer any Degree, so also the Free e-Nฤlandฤ 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 haveโฆNow 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.
