🌿 Theravāda Buddhism 101 Focus: Your own direct practice to reach enlightenment with emphasize of mindfulness, impermanence, and direct insight.

Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is. The future has not yet come. Looking deeply at life as it is in the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom. We must be diligent today. To wait till tomorrow is too late. — Bhaddekaratta Sutta

A graphic representation of a lotus with text describing the pleasant results of telling the truth and the unpleasant results of telling lies. Taken from the text of the Majjima Nikaya no 61 - Advice to Rāhula at Ambalaṭṭhika. Four similes: a practitioner who tells a lie ... 1. Tosses one’s recluseship (of a samañña) away (like a little bit of water in a dipper) 2. Turns one’s recluseship upside down (like a water dipper) 3. Makes one’s recluseship empty and hollow (like an empty water dipper) 4. There is no evil that one would not do if one is not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie (like a charging war elephant) Truthful actions of body, speech and mind result in - PLEASANT Self, Others, or Both WHOLESOME Pleasant Stay mentally refreshed Untruthful actions of body, speech and mind result in AFFLICTS Self, Others, or Both UNWHOLESOME Painful Confess if painful Therefore recluses & brahmins purified bodily, verbal or mental actions in the past by repeatedly reflecting thus. They will do so in the future and in the present! Link to printable PDF - https://zenfluenced.life/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Sutta-61-Graphic.pdf
I made for a sutra study group that I was part of before the pandemic. The Buddha’s teaching on lying given to his son Rahula. An appropriate reminder these days.
Majjima Nikaya 61.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: I regularly sat close by good people and learnt the teaching. What I learned, I practiced, the direct route that culminates in the deathless. I’ve slain the desire to be reborn, it won’t be found in me again. It was not, and it won’t be in me, and it isn’t found in me now. — Kanhadinna (Theragatha 2.30)
