25 -31-3-2021 LESSON 3636 Buddha-Sasana-“The restraint of effluents related to the present life”
“The prevention of effluents … to the next life”
Buddha-Sasana-“The restraint of effluents related to the present life”“The prevention of effluents … to the next life”
These
two aims, alone among the ten, refer to the results of actual
practicetoward Awakening. Effluents are unwholesome tendencies and
views, thetaints from which the human character is purified on the Path.
The Sanghafunctions in this regard by securing for itself the life most
conducive toupholding Buddhist principles, a life so barren of any
opportunity for personaladvantage that a self can scarcely find root,
except in the mind. Into its steadflow the wisdom and compassion that,
liberated from the tyranny of personalneediness, burst here and there
into various stages of Awakening. In this waythe Sangha, as long as it
follows the discipline scrupulously, producesrelatively effectively
Noble Ones from among its ranks.

Monastics are allowed by their vows to do almost nothing for themselves.
They
are permitted no livelihood, nor trade, and are isolated from
theconventional exchange economy. Their material needs are offered
entirely bythe laity. Monastics are proscribed, except in exceptional
circumstances, fromasking for anything, that is, they do not beg, but
only offer the opportunity togive. On alms rounds they are not to prefer
one house (the wealthy one, or thehome of the French chef) over
another. They are not even allowed to endearthemselves through charm and
wit to families with the intent of garneringbetter or greater
offerings, nor are they allowed to show off any specialpsychic powers
nor talk about attainments to gain in reputation. They can
buildthemselves a dwelling or sew robes for themselves, but if they do
so thesemust be limited in size and quality. They also curtail frivolous
speech, showsand entertainments and self-beautification, they observe
limits on what theycan own or store, and they do not eat after noon. Of
course curtailing sexualactivity is foundational to monasticism,
obviating the most reliable and well-worn route to entanglement in
Samsara.

On the other
hand there are almost no restrictions on what a monastic can dofor
others: on teaching, pastoral care, good works, advice, even physical
labor,as long as it is not compensated. Interestingly, the restrictions
on themonastics’ aid to others for the most part apply to traditional
priestly functions,such as predicting the future, healing or appealing
to the mercy of deities. TheBuddha created an order of renunciates, role
models and teachers, not ofpriests.

Virtually
all of the progress one (lay or monastic) is likely to make on
theBuddhist Path will be directly correlated with what is given up,
physicallyand/or mentally: the physical trappings of life, relations and
obligations likedebt and car ownership, behaviors like partying
flirtatiously or imbibingliberally, needy emotions of lust, greed, envy,
pride, avarice, aversive emotionsof anger, hatred, fear, jealousy,
denial and confusion, the distortion of self-view and having to be
somebody. The Buddhist Path entails a long process ofdisentanglement
strand by strand from soap-operatic existence, ofrenunciation. The power
of the monastic life is in setting high standards ofphysical
renunciation and offering virtually no channel for the
practicalexpression of the afflictive mental factors that refuse to let
go and generallyassault, for a time, even the most dedicated monastic
heart. Within themonastic container, meditation and study quickly
develop ripe and plump fruit.

The
analogous discipline of science develops a different kind of quality in
itspractitioners: talent for research. It implements policies that
provide very highstandards for assessing its quality, for publicizing
results and for allocatingresearch funding and employment where future
results prove most promising.Through continuous discourse at
conferences, in published journals and in informal contexts, research
results are continually refined and reevaluatedcooperatively within the
community to improve their quality. Peer review, andstandards for hiring
professors, granting tenure, awarding research grants, etc.also provide
other forms of constraint and encouragement.
