As I understand, the muni (silent sage) ideal of having no views ultimately means having no perceptions: not distinguishing between objects, or between subjects and objects, just experiencing raw sensation. Going from there to objectless awareness means also closing the 'sense doors', like consciously falling asleep.

'As a flame overthrown by the force of the wind
goes to an end
that cannot be classified [as essence, annihilation, etc],
so the sage freed from the name-body [ie, all mentation]
goes to an end
that cannot be classified' (Sn 5.6, Ṭhānissaro's trans).https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/KN/StNp/StNp5_6.html

Lay Buddhism is closer to Hinduism, in that Hinduism believes pūjā/sīla (rituals and virtues) alone can lead to Nibbāna (eg, that devas can grant liberation). Many lay Buddhists still hold that view, and some think the point of being a monk/nun is just to make lots of merit.

Interesting fact: the Jaya Srī Mahā Bodhi tree in Anurādhapura, Srī Laṅkā was grown from a cutting of the original Bodhi tree, which was brought by Emperor Asoka's daughter, Saṅghamittā, in the 3rd c BCE. It is THE SAME ORGANISM as the original Bodhi tree. If only it could speak.

Ven Sāriputta: 'Just that is the pleasure… there is nothing felt. …attention to perceptions dealing with sensuality… directed thought… [etc] is an affliction'
(AN 9:34, Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu's translation).

#Clinging – or #upādāna – is a central concept in #Buddhism, representing the intensified attachment that arises from #craving (#tanhā). Understanding upādāna is crucial for grasping the nature of suffering (#dukkha) and the path to liberation (#nibbāna). In this post, we explore its meaning, implications, and role in Buddhist practice:

Guy – dhammazaadjes – De Patimokkha
‘Het kwade vermijden. Het goede ontwikkelen. De geest zuiveren—dit is de leer van de Boeddha’s.
De Boeddha’s zeggen dat nibbana het Hoogste is.
Wie de thuisloosheid is ingetrokken, doet anderen geen kwaad. Wie anderen schaadt kan zich geen samana noemen.
Niet schelden. Niemand kwaad berokkenen. Beheerst de Patimokkha beoefenen.
Zich matigen in het tot zich nemen van voedsel.
Zich afzonderen.
Zich wijden aan hogere spirituele ontwikkeling—dit is de Leer van de Boeddha’s.’

Guy – dhammazaadjes – Voorkeur en afkeer
‘Voorkeur’ en ‘afkeer’ zijn twee begrippen waar de sutta’s van de Pali-canon van doordrongen zijn.
Voorkeur of verlangen (P. tanha, lobha) en afkeer (P. tanha, lobha) verwijzen rechtstreeks naar de oorzaak van het menselijk lijden (P. dukkha). Dit is de tweede Edele Waarheid (P. samudaya sacca).
Waarom is dit zo?
Omdat verlangen en afkeer onherroepelijk tot ‘worden’ (P. bhava) leiden. Dit permanente ‘worden’ onderstut het illusoire ‘ik’. Bhava wordt in de Pali-canon metaforisch omschreven als ‘wedergeboorte’.
De betekenis van ‘wedergeboorte’ is: steeds hetzelfde stramien doorlopen. Altijd hetzelfde doen en toch een andere uitkomst verwachten. Steeds in diezelfde val trappen. De kringloop van het vastklampen. Rondjes lopen. Samsara.
Door het loslaten van verlangen en afkeer (en onwetendheid) breekt de dhammanuvatti uit de cirkel van zijn bestendig ‘worden’. Door het vuur van de sankhara’s van verlangen en afkeer te doven bevrijdt hij/zij zichzelf. Stopt hij/zij dit ‘worden’ (P. anabhava). Komt hij/zij tot Zelfrealisatie. Nibbana.
Nibbana is dus geen plaats, geen sfeer of ’toestand’. Nibbana is de vernietiging van verlangen en afkeer (en onwetendheid), waardoor de beoefenaar tot bevrijding (P. vimutti) en tot innerlijke rust (P. shanti) komt. In dít leven.
Belangrijk in dit verband zijn ‘de acht wereldse of samsarische dhamma’s’: dit zijn acht drijfveren voor handelingen die de mens in samsara gevangen houden.
Het zijn vier dichotomieën die geënt zijn op verlangen naar en aversie van, namelijk: (a) verlangen naar winst, resp. afkeer voor verlies; (b) verlangen naar lof, resp. afkeer voor blaam; (c) verlangen naar roem, resp. afkeer voor onbekendheid; (d) verlangen naar geluk, resp. afkeer voor lijden.
Deze acht wereldse dhamma’s vernietigen het Edele Achtvoudige Pad. Wanneer de puthujjana deze dingen najaagt (verlangen) of verwerpt (afkeer) zal hij nooit de stroom betreden.
De acht wereldse dhamma’s enerzijds en het Edele Achtvoudige Pad anderzijds verdelen de mensheid in twee (ongelijke) helften: ‘Tous les hommes n’habitent pas le monde de la même façon’ (Jean-Paul Dubois).

Guy – dhammazaadjes – Het substraat van bestaan (P. upadhi)
Upadhi betekent het ‘substraat van bestaan’; het ‘substraat van wedergeboorte’. Upadhi verklaart zowel het fundament als het resultaat dat eruit voortvloeit.
Enerzijds is upadhi het fundament, de basis, het substraat dat tot wedergeboorte, tot ‘worden’ (P. bhava) leidt. Het is de grond waarop ‘worden’ gedijt. Het is de biotoop waarin samsara zich kan ontwikkelen.
Anderzijds is upadhi het zich vastklampen, het zich vastkleven aan, het zich identificeren met het voorwerp of met de gedachte; er één mee worden (P. upadana).
In de Commentaren op de Pali-canon worden vier soorten upadhi vermeld, namelijk: de vijf componenten die het ‘ik’ vormen (P. panca khandha’s); zintuiglijk verlangen (P. kama); mentale bezoedelingen (P. kilesa’s) en intentionele handelingen (P. kamma).
In relatie tot nibbana wordt het woord upadhi gebruikt als: ‘sabbupadhi-patinissagga’, wat neerkomt op het loslaten van alle substrata. Anders gezegd: wil de beoefenaar nibbana bereiken moet hij al deze soorten upadhi loslaten.

In today's Daily #Sutta, the #Buddha compassionately tells people how to properly obtain #wealth, #reputation, #health, and good #rebirth. This goes directly against the popular narrative that he only taught about #nibbana.
But when we see how we can get these things, the list looks very familiar: #faith, #generosity, #virtue, and #wisdom. All of which also lead to nibbana.
Finally, he teaches how this wealth should be used.
