Mon, 31 Jul 2023 - 43min - 144 - Saka Dawa Day Speach 2023
Saka Dawa, is an important Buddhist holiday that commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana (passing away) of the Buddha. In Tibetan, ‘Saka’ refers to the lunar month, which falls during May or June; while ‘Dawa’ is the Tibetan word for ‘month’. Therefore, Saka Dawa represents the "Month of Saka" or the lunar month of observance. Traditionally, during the month of Saka Dawa, it’s said that any merit gained is amplified 100,000 times. Merit is generated through study, practice, reciting sutras and mantras, engaging in pilgrimages, circumambulating monasteries and holy sites, and by performing acts of altruism and generosity. SBT, following the western calendar, celebrates Saka Dawa throughout the month of June, culminating with our Day of Observance online retreat on the final Sunday, which is today. For SBT, Saka Dawa is a time to focus deeply on our spiritual growth and awakening, through study, practice, and engaging with sangha.

Mind-training is a Mahayana Buddhist practice focused on the cultivation of altruism, understanding, and compassion. Mind-training, or more appropriately ‘heart-training’, is a practice utilized by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. First brought to Tibet by the Indian Buddhist Master Atisha in the eleventh century CE, mind-training is a practice with the aim of cultivating and attaining bodhichitta, defined as the altruistic mind of awakening. The term bodhichitta is comprised of two words, bodhi (Skt.) meaning awakened, and citta (Skt.) meaning mind; together they are commonly translated as, awakened mind or mind of enlightenment.

SBT - Sutra Studies - The Dhammapada The Dhammapada(verses of buddhadharma) is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best-known Buddhist scriptures. The original version of the Dhammapada is in the Khuddaka Nikaya, a division of the Pali canon of Theravada Buddhism. The Buddhist scholar and commentator Buddhaghosa explains that each saying in the collection was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community. His translation of the commentary, the Dhammapada Atthakatha, presents the details of these events and is a rich source of legend for the life and times of the Buddha. The Dhammapada contains 423 verses in 26 chapters. We’ll be covering its 26 chapters within 26 weeks.

Sat, 05 Nov 2022 - 48min - 75 - The Six Perfections
The ‘the six perfections’ and ‘the perfection of wisdom’ although being a renowned practice of the Mahayana traditions, actually has its roots in original Nikaya Buddhist tradition and can be found in the Pali cannon, taught as ten perfections. However, within the Mahayana, the perfections become foundational, and the central practice of the bodhisattva. The Mahayana’s unique presentation of the perfections originates from the Prajnaparamita or Perfection of Wisdom Sutras. Mahayanists assert the perfections as the only practice or training which leads to full buddhahood. Because of this, the perfections are often referred to as ‘the great mother’ or ‘the mother of the buddhas’, portraying the perfections as the ‘source’ or ‘womb’ of buddhahood.
