Our teacher, the wisest of all, realized this Dhamma without any teachers. It is something that could only be done by a Supreme Buddha. Buddha is our teacher. We are his disciples.

The most Fortunate One taught us that the one who sees Dhamma definitely sees him, and the one who sees him actually sees Dhamma (Yo Dhamman passati, so man passati. Yo man passati, so man passati.). Thus, we will identify who exactly the Buddha was when we realize his teachings. Dhamma can be realized accurately and fully by practicing meditation. Therefore, we will be able to understand who the Supreme Buddha was from meditation. This does not mean that the Buddha’s figure will show up when we meditate, but the recognition of Buddha with respect to his great qualities via Dhamma [...]

Time of day is not important in developing your mind. It can be at night or in the morning. Therefore, start to meditate right now without wasting time on thinking about best times for meditation.

However, the disciple who realized Nibbana will free from all illnesses, aging, death, and also from the long journey of birth and death (the Sansara) because Nibbana [...]

Supreme Buddha asked us to consider his teachings, the Dhamma, as the teacher of us after his passing away. Therefore, if there is a teacher for your meditation practices, then he should also teach you what Buddha taught us. That means, you can meditate according to Dhamma by your own after learning it properly. Dhamma is the best teacher for you. In fact, all the books and sermons that are going to be provided via this website will include Buddha’s pure teachings. You can use them and learn Dhamma perfectly.

It is mentioned in Mettanisansa Sutta in Anguttara Nikaya that the loving-kindness meditation has eleven auspicious outcomes. They are, having a good sleep, waking up well, dreaming no nightmares, becoming pleasant for humans, prevention of harms by demons, protection of deities, life without any harms from fire, poison, or weapons, attainment of mind concentration quickly when meditating, a beautiful face, a good death without losing the mind, a birth in a world of higher-level beings called ‘Babhalowa’ if the Nibbana was not realized in this life.

We all like if no one hates us, feel jealous about us, or harm us. We also like to be treated with compassion. Similarly, everyone else feel the same way. No one likes to be hated, felt jealous about, or harmed. The loving-kindness meditation is the best medicine for people with such hopes. With this meditation, one first creates a mind with free of hatred, jealousy, and destruction. Then, he spreads his mind’s serenity towards others hoping its formation in the hearts of everyone else of the entire world. For this to be worked properly, we need to follow the exact [...]

The Dhamma taught by Supreme Buddha needs to be realized according to the wisdom the disciple has. There were disciples who could realize the Noble Dhamma just after listening to one sentence of Buddha’s teachings in the past. There were also some other disciples who attained the Nibbana after practicing Dhamma and meditating for a long time. However, the most fortunate one said in Maha Satara Satipatthana Sutta (the Great Satipatthana Suttta) as follows: If someone practices these four types of meditations (Satara Satipatthana) prominently, then that person will become an Arahant within at least seven days or a year to [...]
