The story of Bhikkhu Sok
The story of Bhikkhu Sok
Many year ago, there was a great famine in Kampuchea. A Phnong man called Chow Phnong Gruu came down from his mountain village to the town Senmonorom to try to find food for his family.

The Economy of Gifts
According to the Buddhist monastic code, monks and nuns are not allowed to accept money or even to engage in barter or trade with lay people. They live entirely in an economy of gifts.

No Strings Attached - The Buddha's Culture of Generosity
“How can I ever repay you for your teaching?”
Good meditation teachers often hear this question from their students, and the best answer I know for it is one that my teacher, Ajaan Fuang, gave every time:
“By being intent on practicing.”
Each time he gave this answer, I was struck by how noble and gracious it…

Emptiness and Pure Awareness
GOTAMA BUDDHA SAID, when he was an old man, “This body is like an old cart, held together by straps; this body only keeps going by makeshift repairs. The only way I can feel comfortable is to absorb my mind into signless concentration.”
For all of us, the Buddha included, we are faced with the inevitable presence…

Buddhism in the Modern Day Cambodia
Dwindling congregations, a weakened grasp on the young generation and a clergy tainted by scandal. The Catholic Church might be the first association to come to mind. Yet similar challenges confront faiths all around the world, and Buddhism is no exception.

Looking Back like a Noble Tusker
186. Then the Bhagava, rearranging his robes in the morning time, took alms-bowl and great robe and went into Vesali for alms-food.
After the alms-round and after the meal, when he left (the place of the meal), the Bhagava (turned around bodily and) looked back towards Vesali like an…

Buddhism in our daily life
In last week's discussion of the concept of birth and death, the one-life theory and the multi-life theory were introduced.

Buddhism in modern life
by Ananda W.P. Guruge
The topic as it stands has several parts to it: What is modern life? What is Buddhism? And what role has Buddhism to play in modem life? Modem life in itself is very difficult to define.

The Buddhist Conception of an Ecological Self
Traditional Buddhist sources have little to say about Nature in the often abstract and romanticized sense in which we use the word today, and still less to say about ecology understood in contemporary scientific terms.
