Mahāparinibbāna Sutta{excerpts}— The last instructions —[mahā-parinibbāna] (The Mirror of the Dhamma)
This sutta gathers various instructions the Buddha gave for the sake of his followers after his passing away, which makes it be a very

important set of instructions for us nowadays.I will expound the discourse on the Dhamma which is called Dhammādāsa, possessed
of which the ariyasāvaka, if he so desires, can declare of himself: ‘For me, there is no more niraya, no more tiracchāna-yoni, no more

pettivisaya, no more state of unhappiness, of misfortune, of misery, I am a sotāpanna, by nature free from states of misery, certain of
being destined to sambodhi. And what, Ānanda, is that discourse on the Dhamma which is called Dhammādāsa, possessed of which

the ariyasāvaka, if he so desires, can declare of himself: For me, there is no more niraya, no more tiracchāna-yoni, no more pettivisaya,
no more state of unhappiness, of misfortune, of misery, I am a sotāpanna, by nature free from states of misery, certain of being

destined to sambodhi? Here, Ānanda, an ariyasāvaka is endowed with Buddhe aveccappasāda:

The Sutta Pitaka

surface of a pond

A Taste of Salt

The Sutta Pitaka
was written down in the Pali language over 2,000 years ago. The Sutta
Pitaka is made of five collections of suttas; the Digha Nikaya, the
Majjima Nikaya, the Samyutta Nikaya, the Anguttara Nikaya, and the
Khuddaka Nikaya. These texts remain the most complete record of early
Buddhist teachings. The suttas fill thousands of pages, and it is a
daunting task for most readers to read through the many volumes. A Taste of Salt
draws 350 pages containing the central teachings of the Buddha from the
roughly 5,000 pages of the Sutta Pitaka. The purpose of this collection
is to make these essential texts more accessible to meditators and
students of Buddhism.

Special thanks are given to the translators who have made this
timeless wisdom available on the Internet for free distribution. They
ask that any copies of this material be distributed at no cost.
Otherwise all materials are subject to copyright laws.

Of the happiness that comes with craving’s end.

Today’s Featured Passage

Maha-satipatthana Sutta

Maha-satipatthana Sutta
offers comprehensive practical instructions on the development of
mindfulness in meditation. The Buddha describes how the development of
continuous mindfulness of the four satipatthana (”foundations of
mindfulness” or “frames of reference”), mindfulness of the body, of
feelings, of the mind, and of mind-objects, can lead ultimately to full
Awakening.

Satipatthana Sutta is oftertime referred in the broad conception
of Buddhist meditation in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. Satipatthana
is a way of implementing the right mindfulness and, less directly, the
right concentration parts of the Noble Eightfold Path. Satipatthana
meditation goes hand-in-hand with vipassana, samatha or calming
meditation, and anapana meditation. Satipatthana is practiced with the
aims of vipassana and most often in the context of Theravada Buddhism
although the principles are also practiced in most traditions of
Buddhism which emphasize meditation such as the Zen or Soto Zen
tradition.

There is also Satipatthana Sutta or sutra which is also known as the Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness. This sutta explains how to systematically cultivate mindful awareness or sati.

Dhammapada

The Dhammapada
is an ancient and revered text in Buddhism, especially in Theravada
Buddhism. It is one of the most loved and the most cited passages in the
Tipitaka because it is one of the more approachable texts in the
Buddist canon.

Dhammapada is highly regarded as both poetry and moral teaching. It is one of the texts in the Khuddaka Nikaya (the “Minor Collection”), which is one of the five collections in the Sutta Pitaka. The Sutta Pitaka is one of the three “baskets” of texts in the Tipitaka, the great Pali corpus of Buddhist texts, among the oldest extant Buddhist writings.

Also, Dhammapada contains many short sayings of the Buddha. Many mottos of many Buddhist schools in Thailand are from Dhammapada.
