LESSON 254
Bija Sutta: Means of Propagation
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.’”

Concern
over impact of Internet control rules on free speech

“These
rules give government the ability to gag free speech and block any website it
deems fit”
“Though
there is no dispute on content monitoring, there are grey areas in the rules”
NEW
DELHI: Cyber activists, bloggers and legal experts are crying foul over the new
rules and guidelines under the Information Technology Amendment Act 2008, that
lay additional focus on content regulation and information security, besides
dealing with cyber terrorism and data protection.
They have
termed it an attempt to gag free speech by giving intermediaries like Internet
Service Providers, web hosting companies, search engines and cyber cafes the
right to control content. The new rules require hosts or owners of websites to
take action against “objectionable content” that is considered “disparaging,”
“harassing,” “blasphemous” or “hateful.”
Also
included is anything that “threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or
sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign countries, or public
order.”
And if an
intermediary fails to act on a complaint within 36 hours of receiving it, the
firm’s top management is liable to face civil or criminal proceedings that
could involve huge penalties and even imprisonment.
Denying
any move to restrict free speech, the government claims “canards” are being
spread by “vested interests” that thrive on misuse of the Internet.
But
Nikhil Pahwa, Editor and Publisher of the news and analysis website, MediaNama,
is not convinced.
“These
rules give the Indian government the ability to gag free speech, and block any
website it deems fit, without publicly disclosing why sites have been blocked,
who took the decision to block it, and, just as importantly, providing adequate
recourse to blogs, sites and online and mobile businesses, for getting the
block removed. These rules are applicable to intermediaries, through whom
access to content will be controlled,” Mr. Pahwa points out.
Similarly,
Pavan Duggal, a Supreme Court lawyer and expert on cyber laws, says the
government’s entire approach is flawed.
“Though
there is no dispute on the proposition of content monitoring, there are huge
grey areas in the rules. For instance, there are various categories of
intermediaries where a one-size-fits-all approach cannot be applied… We need to
frame separate guidelines for separate categories or there will be huge
practical problems while implementing the rules,” Mr. Duggal says.
On his
part, Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot says all valid
views and suggestions of the stakeholders were incorporated in the new rules.
“There is
no question of gagging free speech… the government is all for freedom of
expression. India is an open society and it also has one of the world’s best
systems of jurisprudence. If anybody thinks he has been wronged, he has all the
right to take legal recourse,” Mr. Pilot told TheHindu.
The
Department of IT insists that critics’ fears about this new rule — and another
which allows an individual’s sensitive personal information to be handed over
to government agencies — are unfounded.
Pointing
out that a fair open house discussion was held by the IT department before
framing the rules, Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers’
Association of India (ISPAI), says that with broadband penetration growing
fast, it is all the more important to regulate and monitor content.
“It is in
everybody’s interest. Whosoever is putting content on the Internet needs to
exercise self-control and self-restriction. Bloggers and celebrities who have a
huge online following have a responsibility to ensure that their comments do
not hurt anybody’s sentiments,” Mr. Chharia says.
Mr.
Duggal, however, disagrees, insisting that the new rules will adversely affect
legitimate free speech and also press freedom. “The sufferer will be the
content generator as he will not be heard, while intermediaries will take no
chance while dealing with complaints, be they legitimate or illegitimate,” he
says.

NEW DELHI: Cyber activists, bloggers and authorised experts are in tears

They have termed it an endeavor to silence giveaway debate by giving
intermediaries similar to Internet Service Providers, web hosting companies,

require hosts or owners of websites to take action against “objectionable
content” that is deliberate “disparaging,” “harassing,” “blasphemous” or
“hateful.”
Also enclosed is anything that “threatens the unity, integrity, defence,
safety or sovereignty of India, kind family with unfamiliar countries, or open
order.”
And if an surrogate fails to deed on a censure inside of 36 hours of
reception it, the firm’s top administration is probable to face polite or crook
trial that could engage outrageous penalties and even imprisonment.
Denying any pierce to limit giveaway speech, the supervision claims
“canards” are being expansion by “vested interests” that flourish on injustice
of the Internet.
But Nikhil Pahwa, Editor and Publisher of the headlines and review website,
MediaNama, is not convinced.
“These manners give the Indian supervision the aptitude to silence giveaway
speech, and inhibit any website it deems fit, without publicly disclosing
because sites have been blocked, who took the preference to inhibit it, and,
only as importantly, providing competent chance to blogs, sites and online and
mobile businesses, for getting the inhibit removed. These manners are germane
to intermediaries, by whom access to calm will be controlled,” Mr. Pahwa points
out.
Similarly, Pavan Duggal, a Supreme Court counsel and consultant on cyber
laws, says the government’s whole draw close is flawed.
“Though there is no disagreement on the tender of calm monitoring, there are
outrageous dull areas in the rules. For instance, there are assorted categories
of intermediaries where a one-size-fits-all draw close cannot be applied… We
must be support well-defined discipline for well-defined categories or there
will be outrageous functional problems whilst implementing the rules,” Mr.
Duggal says.
On his part, Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot says
all current views and suggestions of the stakeholders were incorporated in the
new rules.
“There is no subject of gagging giveaway speech… the supervision is all for
liberty of expression. India is an open the public and it moreover has a of the
world’s most appropriate systems of jurisprudence. If any person thinks he has
been wronged, he has all the correct to take authorised recourse,” Mr. Pilot
told TheHindu.
The Department of IT insists that critics’ fears about this new order – and
other that allows an individual’s sensitive personal data to be handed over to
supervision agencies – are unfounded.
Pointing out that a satisfactory open residence deliberation was hold by the
IT subdepartment before framing the rules, Rajesh Chharia, boss of the Internet
Service Providers’ Association of India (ISPAI), says that with broadband
invasion flourishing fast, it is all the more critical to systematize and guard
content.
“It is in everybody’s interest. Whosoever is putting calm on the Internet
needs to exercise stoicism and self-restriction. Bloggers and celebrities who
have a outrageous online subsequent to have a shortcoming to make sure that
their explanation do not harm anybody’s sentiments,” Mr. Chharia says.
Mr. Duggal, however, disagrees, insisting that the new manners will
adversely start bona fide giveaway debate and moreover press freedom. “The case
will be the calm generator of electric power as he will not be heard, whilst
intermediaries will take no chance whilst traffic with complaints, be they bona
fide or illegitimate,” he says.
