Light Of Buddhadharma Foundation International

Chanting the Tipitaka – A Revival of an Ancient Tradition

The Light of Buddhadharma Foundation announces the date for the
eleventh International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony in Bodhgaya, India.
This major gathering of ten countries will take place from December 2nd –
13th, 2015.

For over one thousand years, the teachings of the Buddha were chanted
daily at the Mahabodhi Mahavihara; the great temple that marks the
place where the Buddha achieved enlightenment in the 5th century BCE.
The temple was abandoned in the fourteenth century and only rebuilt five
hundred years later. Now, as part of a revival of interest in Buddhist
culture both in India and across the world, the tradition of chanting
from the Pali Tipitaka at the place of enlightenment has been restarted,
and a series of great gatherings are held over the winter months every
year.

For
the eleventh ceremony, over 4000 monks and their followers from
Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos PDR, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka,
Thailand and Vietnam will join monks from India in chanting from the
Pali Canon in a great assembly under the Bodhi Tree, the central focus
of the temple. The opening ceremony on December 2nd is particularly
colorful, with lay people in the national dress of the countries present
escorting their monks in a procession to the main temple, where the
whole assembly receives offerings and chants the first sermon of the
Buddha in unison. The Sangharajas (Chief of National Sangha) of
Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh and India will be in attendance, along
with four Tripirakadharas, monks who have learnt the 45 volumes of the
Pali Canon by heart. This is the first time in 700 years that the
Theravada Sangha have returned to chant the precious teaching and
perhaps the first time where the International Sangha have chanted
together since the Buddha’s time.

Dharma
talks are given every night of the event under the Bodhi Tree,
translated into English and Hindi, and screened live on the Internet. On
the final day, the assembly will be inaugurating the first of a set of
Dharma walks that are planned to directly link Bodhgaya with the ancient
capital of Magadha at Rajgir. The ancient pathway skirts a line of
hills that join the two sites, and 1000 monks and their followers will
walk from the Jethian Valley, the valley where the Buddha met King
Bimbisara and walked to his ancient capital, to Javika Mango Grove. This
14km walk will happen on December 13th, and will also be attended by
thousands of villagers from the surrounding area.

This resurgence in activity has lead to a remarkable increase in
visitors to the Buddhist sites of India. Indeed it is now estimated that
one in six visitors to India visit Bodhgaya (source: Indian Ministry of
Tourism), and many of these visitors go on to visit the other great
sites that formed the ancient pilgrimage circuit. The state of Bihar
alone has over 1,600 accredited Buddhist sites, many in a very good
state of preservation, and substantial Buddhist remains are spread
across every state in Northern India. These large visitor numbers have
important economic and social consequences, and initiatives have been
launched at both state and federal level to further promote the
pilgrimage circuit within the ancient landscape of northern India.

The Light of Buddhadharma Foundation, a California based charity, is
dedicated to rebuilding the Buddhist culture of India, and has been the
primary sponsor of the International Tipitaka Chanting Ceremony since
its inception in 2006 working to promote the chanting ceremony in Nagpur
and in Sri Lanka, the beautification of the ancient sites and the
training of monks.

As Director Wangmo Dixey explains:

“In Bringing the international sanghas of monks and lay followers
together in this way, the Foundation has been active in supporting the
Buddhist culture of India, and in demonstrating the vitality and
relevance of this ancient religion in the modern world. We feel very
inspired by the growing interest in the role of India as the homeland of
the teachings of the Buddha, and the positive economic, social and
political consequences that will follow a full-scale revival of Buddhism
in the land of its origin. Buddhism is the third largest world
religion, and a unifying force in South East Asia and the Far East. To
see the great country of India playing a role in its development will be
a great benefit, both for the region and the entire world.”

You
know how rich the business men are in Dubai? Well watch this video
because it is utterly amazing technology being displayed . . . at a mall.
It also shows you the capability of this technology if you are richer
than Tony Stark. Many people in the blogosphere were awaiting a certain
“Project  Blue Beam” event that did not happen. They need only to travel
to this mall in Dubai and they can experience Blue Beam 2.0.

The
question is how portable is this technology? If this is also a space
based technology there are other variables to consider such as weather
and terrain. The mall is a stable canvas to project the interlacing
images on and the sound is from mounted speakers. There are many other
factors to consider projecting from space. The real downfall to
holographic technology is the images are not solid. Meaning you can pass
through them.

Many
conspiracist expect a fake alien invasion using holographic technology
including the return of the Messiah. The problem is they will not be
solid images but we must remember Christ was solid upon his return. This
was evident when Thomas put his fingers into the wounds of Yeshua. So
at the end of the day, how effective is holographic technology when all
it really creates is a glorified spectre?

In
closing, this technology is amazing to experience. It shows us the
capabilities of commercial technology in the realm of holograms. We have
seen a working demonstration in closed rooms. I have seen similar
technology in Japan outdoors in the water but it is not as impressive.
We should keep this technology on our watchlist. I will recommend
against anyone watching these shows on magic mushrooms . . . it will not
end well.

Tipitaka

Tipitaka (Pali, “tatu,” + pitaka, “vikapu”),
au canon ya Pali, ni mkusanyiko wa maandiko ya lugha ya msingi ya Pali ambayo
fanya msingi wa mafundisho ya Buddha ya Theravada. Tipitaka na
maandishi ya Paracanonical Pali (maoni, historia, nk) pamoja ni mwili kamili wa maandiko ya Theravada.

Ya
Pali Canon ni mwili mkubwa wa vitabu: tafsiri ya Kiingereza the
maandiko huongeza hadi maelfu ya kurasa zilizochapishwa. Wengi (lakini si wote) wa
Canon tayari imechapishwa kwa Kiingereza zaidi ya miaka. Ingawa
sehemu ndogo ndogo ya maandiko haya inapatikana kwenye tovuti hii, hii
ukusanyaji unaweza kuwa mahali pazuri kuanza.

Migawanyiko matatu ya Tipitaka ni:

Vinaya Pitaka
    Mkusanyiko wa maandiko kuhusu sheria za maadili zinazosimamia
mambo ya kila siku ndani ya Sangha - jumuiya ya bhikkhus (watawala
waliowekwa rasmi) na bhikkhunis (waliowekwa
    wasomi). Mbali zaidi ya orodha tu ya sheria, Vinaya Pitaka pia
    inajumuisha hadithi nyuma ya asili ya kila utawala, kutoa
    maelezo ya kina ya ufumbuzi wa Buddha kwa swali la jinsi ya
    kudumisha umoja wa jumuiya ndani ya kiroho kubwa na tofauti
    jumuiya.
Sutta Pitaka
    Ya
    ukusanyaji wa sutta, au mazungumzo, yaliyotokana na Buddha na wachache
    wa wanafunzi wake wa karibu, yaliyo na mafundisho yote ya kati ya
    Buddha ya Theravada. (Tafsiri zaidi ya elfu moja ya sutta ni
    inapatikana kwenye tovuti hii.) Suttas imegawanywa kati ya nikayas tano (makusanyo):

        Digha Nikaya - “mkusanyiko mrefu”
        Majjhima Nikaya - “ukusanyaji wa urefu wa katikati”
        Samyutta Nikaya - “ukusanyaji wa makundi”
        Anguttara Nikaya - “mkusanyiko wa zaidi”
        Khuddaka Nikaya - “ukusanyaji wa maandiko madogo”:
            Khuddakapatha
            Dhammapada
            Udana
            Itivuttaka
            Sutta Nipata
            Vimanavatthu
            Petavatthu
            Theragatha
            Therigatha
            Jataka
            Niddesa
            Patisambhidamagga
            Apadana
            Buddhavamsa
            Cariyapitaka
            Nettippakarana (ni pamoja na tu katika toleo la Kiburma la Tipitaka)
            Petakopadesa (”")
            Milindapañha (”")

Abhidhamma Pitaka
    Ya
    ukusanyaji wa maandiko ambayo misingi ya mafundisho ya msingi
    iliyotolewa katika Pitta ya Sutta inafanywa upya na kuandaliwa upya katika
    mfumo wa utaratibu ambao unaweza kutumika kwa uchunguzi katika
    

asili ya akili na suala.
