Craving Causes Misery!

Craving for Sense Pleasure always causes Suffering! The Blessed Buddha once said: Truly, due to craving for sense pleasure, conditioned by sensuous craving, compelled by craving for sense pleasure, entirely pushed by craving for sense pleasure, does kings fight with kings, princes fight with princes, priests with priests, citizens with citizens; mother quarrels with son, son with mother; father with son, son with father; brother with brother, brother with sister, sister with brother, a good friend fights even with his best friend. Thus, lost in conflict, quarrelling, and hostilities, they attack one another with fists, sticks, or weapons. And thereby they suffer death or deadly pain. And further, due to this craving for sense pleasure, people break into houses, rob, plunder, pillage whole villages, commit highway robbery, and hot-headed seduce the wives of others.

Review: In the Buddha's Words, by Bhikkhu Bodhi

Image
There are several good translations available of parts of the Pali Canon (Buddhist Scriptures) in English. A recent addition to this growing list of extracts of the Tipitaka (another name for the Pali Canon) is called "In the Buddha's Words" and is the work of the well-known and well-respected American monk Bhikkhu Bodhi. The book typically contains the usual translations of the Buddha's teachings on suffering ( dukkha ), enlightenment ( bodhi ), the Buddhist Path ( magga ) etc. What is distinctive about this latest compilation is that it contains a broad sweep of teachings of the Buddha, not only focusing on renunciation and the ultimate goal of enlightenment, but also featuring subjects such as gaining present life happiness and a decent rebirth. The Venerable Bodhi divides the Blessed One's dispensation into chapters, some of which are called The Human Condition (life without Dharma; living in delusion from life to life), The Bringer of Light (the coming a...
