the Master took that of the wrathful ‘Victorious over the Three Worlds’ and instantly, magically, he arrived in Trimala, in the south. As soon as he got there he drove it with one blow into the trunk of a tree next to the linga, 2/ #Buddhism #Guru #Rinpoche #Phurbu #Tales

Most of the offerings made to Otantapuri used to come from Trimala, and many negative influences, coming from that self-arisen linga, were experienced there." It seems Tirthikas were attacking the Buddhists of Trimala for supporting the famous Odantapuri Vihara. 4/ #Buddhism

In a study of the psychological implications of awakening, Johansson* concludes that when “arahants are tempted . . . by Māra,” this means that “although their conscious life perhaps was completely purified, the deeper and unconscious layers in their personality were not so. 2/

When Arahants Are Temted: "When Māra challenges a bhikkhunī or even the Buddha, according to Barua* this means that the bhikkhunī had a “momentary weakness”; in fact “even Lord Buddha had his moments of gloom or weariness which invaded him in the midst of his spiritual work.” 1/

Guard The Conquest With The Sword Of Wisdom: Realizing that this body is as fragile as a clay pot, and fortifying this mind like a well-fortified city, fight out Mara with the sword of wisdom. Then, guarding the conquest, remain unattached. - Dhammapada #Buddhism #Philosophy

[Ratnagunasamucayagatha] specifically identifies the primary environment of the renunciant bodhisattva: he may “practise quite detached from villages or cities in a mountain cave, in a remote forest, or in isolated woods”, dangerous environments where wild beasts roam." 4/

Forest Dwelling Yogin-Bodhisattva: "To begin with, the ideal in this text [Ratnagunasamucayagatha] is most often termed bodhisattva. The bodhisattva may be either a renunciant or a layperson, and the text takes into account both ideals, making it clear that either is valid. 1/

永久に延期し続けているインドの最高裁。 今年こそ判決が出るか注目したい。 なんで仏教の聖地をヒンズー教が管理するのだと聞くと、仏教はヒンズー教の一部だからと言われました。なんじゃそれ。
中村龍海@1905mobydick

「1949年ブッダガヤ寺院法」では、寺院の管理委員会がヒンズー教徒が最大5人、仏教徒4人という構成になっていて、仏教徒が自らの聖地を自律的に管理できない状況にあります。 そこで、仏教徒による管理権を求める運動の中心にいるのが、半世紀以上インドで仏教復興運動を続けてきた佐々井秀嶺さんです

Last Bastion: Decline and downfall of Pala hegemons from political prominence in the eastern Indian theater provided a perfect opportunity for Brahminism, festering in the background, to implement and impose itself on the social consciousness of people in eastern regions. (1/2)
