Dhammakathiko Sutta The Teacher of
the Dhamma
The Pali title of this sutta is based
on the PTS (Feer) edition.
[A monk said:]
“‘Dhamma-teacher, Dhamma-teacher’ they say, Lord.”
“If, monk,
anyone teaches a doctrine of disenchantment[1]
with decay-and-death, of dispassion[2]
[leading to] its cessation, that suffices for him to be called a monk
who teaches Dhamma.[3]
“If anyone has
trained himself in this disenchantment with decay-and-death, in dispassion[4]
[leading to] its cessation, that suffices for him to be called a monk
who is trained in what is in conformity with Dhamma.[5]
“If anyone,
through disenchantment with decay-and-death, through dispassion [leading to]
its cessation, is liberated from grasping, that suffices for him to be called
one who has attained Nibbaana in this life.”[6]
[The same three
distinctions are made in respect of birth… ignorance]
POLITICS is SACRED with HIGHLY PROMISING BEST GOVERNANCE of MAYAWATI JI
UPA, Opposition target Scheduled Caste (Untouchable) rule: Mayawati
BSP supporters greet Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati as she
arrives to inagurate the partyβs office in Mumbai on Saturday.
U P C M Mayawati on Saturday hit out at the Congress-led (UPA) and the
Opp. parties for sensationalising and politicising criminal incidents in the
State,while serious crimes take place in other States too, in a bid to
discredit a govt headed by a SC. She was speaking here after inaugurating the
Bahujan Samaj Party’s (BSP) State office in Mumbai.
βA
judicial inquiry in Deputy Chief Medical
Officer Y.S. Sachan, is going on. It would not be appropriate to comment before
its completion,β she said.
Ms.
Mayawati said heinous crimes were taking place in other States too, but the
respective governments were silent on them.
βIn
Mirchpur, Haryana, SCs have not been allowed to stay in their homes despite the
intervention of the Supreme Court. There are many serious matters in
Congress-ruled Haryana and even in Delhi, as in the BJP-ruled States. Why can’t
the State governments, the Centre’s Ministry of Home Affairs and the State
commissions take note of those?β she asked.
She cited
the Mirchpur caste violence, the Khairlanji killings, the gruesome murder of
Additional Collector Yashwant Sonawane and senior journalist J. Dey, and rape
and murder cases in Maharashtra.
βEver
since the BSP started forming the government in U.P. under the leadership of a
SC ki beti [SC’s daughter], Opposition parties have not been able to digest
this fact. Our party came to power on its own strength and on full majority.
Embittered by this, the Opposition gives a political colour to any incident
that takes place in U.P. and tries to sully our party’s image,β Ms. Mayawati
said.
βBid to corner U.P.β
She
alleged there was an attempt to corner the U.P. government. βSince the past few
days, the situation is such that if there is any criminal incident in U.P., the
Centre quickly jumps into the fray and starts a charade of sending notices
through its State commission,β Ms. Mayawati said in a veiled reference to the
Uttar Pradesh Human Rights Commission’s notice on Dr. Sachan’ death.
The
Centre also manipulated the media, using it to generate a bad image of her
government. These attempts thus clearly pointed to the βanti-SC/ST mentalityβ
of the Congress and the Opposition, she said.
Inflation
Ms. Mayawati came down heavily on the UnitedProgressive Alliance for the recent fuel price hike and its βbad economic
policiesβ that aimed at βbenefiting the rich.β
Rally
On
Sunday, Ms. Mayawati will be addressing a meeting of party workers from
Maharashtra and Gujarat in Mumbai. Addressing the Mumbai media, she condemned
the murder of J. Dey and expressed condolences to his family.
