Ekadhamma Sutta - The Discourse on One Thing.So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anathapindika’s monastery. There the Buddha addressed the monks:  “Mendicants ! ” -  “ Venerable sir, ” they replied. The Buddha said this:  “Mendicants, when one thing is developed and cultivated it’s very fruitful and beneficial. What one thing ? Mindfulness of breathing. And how is mindfulness of breathing developed and cultivated to be very fruitful and beneficial ? 
( 1 )  It’s when a mendicant has gone to a wilderness, or to the root of a tree, or to an empty hut. They sit down cross-legged, with their body straight, and establish mindfulness right there. 
( 2 )  Just mindful, they breathe in. Mindful, they breathe out.

Pathama Marana Sati Sutta  -  Mindfulness of Death (1st)
At one time the Buddha was staying at Nādika in the brick house. There the Buddha addressed the monks: “ Dear monks ! ” -  “ Venerable sir, ” they replied. The Buddha said this:  “ Dear monks, when mindfulness of death is developed and cultivated, it’s very fruitful and beneficial. It culminates in the deathless and ends with the deathless. But do you develop mindfulness of death?”
( 1 ) When he said this, one of the monks said to the Buddha: “ Sir, I develop mindfulness of death. ” - “ But monk, how do you develop it ? ” - “ In this case, sir, I think:  ‘ Oh, if I’d only live for another day and night, I’d focus on the Buddha’s instructions and I could really achieve a lot. ’  That’s how I develop mindfulness of death. ”

Pachalayana Sutta - Nodding Off - Numerical Discourses of the Buddha.
At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Bhaggas on Crocodile Hill, in the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood. Now at that time, in the land of the Magadhans, Venerable Mahā Moggallāna was nodding off while meditating. The Buddha saw him with his divine eye. Then, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, he vanished from the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood and reappeared in front of Mahā Moggallāna. He sat on the seat spread out and said to Mahā Moggallāna: “ Are you nodding off, Moggallāna ? Are you nodding off ?”  -  “ Yes, sir. ”

Thithi Sutta – The Discourse on Standstill - Numerical Discourses of the Buddha. 

          “ Dear monks, I do not praise even a standstill in good qualities, much less decline. I praise only growth in good qualities, not a standstill or decline.
         And how is there growth - not a standstill or decline - in good qualities ? Here, a monk has a certain degree of faith, virtuous behavior, learning, generosity, wisdom, and discernment. Those qualities of his do not remain the same or decline. This, I say, is growth rather than a standstill or decline in good qualities.
         Dear monks, a monk who is not skilful in the ways of others’ minds should train thus,  ‘I will be skilful in the ways of my own mind.’  It is in this way that you should train yourselves. It is just as if a woman or a man, young, youthful, and fond of ornaments, would look at their own facial reflection in a clean bright mirror or in a bowl of clear water. If they see any dust or blemish there, they will make an effort to remove it. But if they do not see any dust or blemish there, they will be happy about it; and their wish fulfilled, they will think, ‘ How lucky that I’m clean ! ’

Sumana Sutta – To Princess Sumana -  Numerical Discourses of the Buddha. 
Translated from the Pali by Ven. Bhikkhu Bodh Thero. –  Wisdom Publications.
​
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Savatthi in Jeta's Grove, Anthapindika's Park. Then Princess Sumana, accompanied by five hundred chariots and five hundred court girls, approached the Blessed One, paid homage to him, and sat down to one side. Princess Sumana then said to the Blessed One:
"Here, Bhante, there might be two disciples of the Blessed One equal in faith, virtuous behavior, and wisdom, but one is generous while the other is not. With the breakup of the body, after death, they would both be reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world. When they have become devas, would there be any distinction or difference between them?"

          “Monks, suppose a cloth were defiled and stained, and a dyer dipped it in some dye or other, whether blue or yellow or red or pink; it would look poorly dyed and impure in colour. Why is that? Because of the impurity of the cloth. So too, when the mind is defiled, an unhappy destination may be expected.

Vitakka Santhana Sutta - Discourse on Elimination of Negative Thoughts.
Translated from the Pali by Ven. Bhikkhu Bodh Thero. –  Wisdom Publications.
On one occasion the Blessed One was living at Savatthi, He addressed the monks and instructed them that a monk striving to develop the mind to a higher state, periodically, should pay attention to five states of his mind.
       1.      When a monk directs his attention to something, as a result, if unwholesome thoughts of greed, hatred and delusion arise in him, by knowing that thoughts of greed, hatred and delusion have arisen in him, the monk should redirect his attention to something wholesome. As a result of doing this, the unwholesome thoughts arisen in him subside; his mind gets stable, calm, unified and concentrated.  It is just as a carpenter or his apprentice removes a coarse nail by using a sharp nail, the monk eliminates unwholesome thoughts by developing wholesome thoughts.
         2.      If a monk finds that unwholesome thoughts of greed, hatred and delusion arisen in him are not eliminated by redirecting his attention to wholesome thoughts, then he should investigate the dangers of having unwholesome thoughts; the unwholesome thoughts are blameworthy and lead to suffering. As a result of doing this, his mind gets stable, calm, unified and concentrated. As a young man or a woman fond of wearing ornaments get horrified by having to wear a carcass around the neck, the monk get horrified by investigating the dangers of having unwholesome thoughts and eliminates unwholesome thoughts.

"Bhante, It would be good if the Blessed One would clear up the meaning of this statement. Having heard it from him, the monks will retain it in mind." - "Then listen, monks, and attend closely. I will speak." - "Yes, Bhante," - " Monks, you should answer them as follows”.

On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Savatthi in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then the householder Anathapindika approached the Blessed One, paid homage to him, and sat down to one side. The Blessed One asked him: "Are alms given in your family, householder?" "Alms are given in my family, Bhante, but they consist of broken rice accompanied by rice gruel."
"If, householder, whether coarse or excellent,
(1) one gives alms respectfully,
(2) gives considerately,
(3) gives with one's own hand,
(4) gives what would not be discarded,
(5) gives with a view of future consequences, then wherever the result of that gift is produced for one, one's mind inclines toward the enjoyment of superb food, toward the enjoyment of superb clothing, toward the enjoyment of superb vehicles, toward the enjoyment of whatever is superb among the five objects of sensual pleasure. Also, one's children and wives, and one's slaves, servants, and workers, want to listen to one, lend an ear, and apply their minds to understand. For what reason? Just this is the result of actions that are done respectfully".

" Monks, this is how Nanda guards the doors of the sense faculties:  If he needs to look to the east, he does so after he has fully considered the matter and clearly comprehends it thus: ‘When I look to the east, bad unwholesome states of longing and dejection will not flow in upon me.’ If he needs to look to the west … to the north … to the south … to look up … to look down … to survey the intermediate directions, he does so after he has fully considered the matter and clearly comprehends it thus: ‘When I look to the intermediate directions, bad unwholesome states of longing and dejection will not flow in upon me.’ That is how Nanda guards the doors of the sense faculties.

BACK GROUND STORY OF THINSAMATTA SUTTA.

Once upon a time when the Buddha was alive, thirty princes wanted to have fun in camping in a forest. Hunting, fishing, making barbeques, swimming in the river, playing water sports, drinking, singing dancing so on. They had 29 princesses except one. So they wanted to hire a woman for the prince who didn't have a girl. She was a beautiful woman but she was a prostitute. To play everybody jumped into the river keeping their golden royal ornaments on the river bank. While they were playing in the river, the prostitute stole all the jewellery and fled away. The princes sent all the princesses back to the palace and started looking for the thief. 
By now you probably know the Buddha gets up early in the morning and looks at the world opening his divine eye to see the lucky ones who need the help understand the Dharma. That day he noticed all these 30 princes are really fortunate to realize the noble Dharma. But they are still negligent. Buddha went to the forest and sat down under a shade of a tree the princes were running in search of the thief. They found the Buddha under the tree and went closer. And asked "Dear sir, did you see a women running away this way?  She has stolen our ornaments. We are looking for her." Buddha looked really calm and peaceful and mindful. Buddha opened his eyes and in a peaceful way, And then he questioned back. ‘Dear Princes, .... Which is more important,   Which is better...? Being curious about yourself? Or Being curious about others?’

THE  NUMARICAL DISCOURSES  OF  THE  BUDDHA.Dutiya Aghata Pativinaya  Sutta - Removing Resentment - ii 
Translated from the Pali by Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi
​
(From the previous lesson.....)

(3) "How, friends, should resentment be removed toward the person whose bodily behavior and verbal behavior are impure but who from time to time gains an opening of the mind, placidity of mind?"
"Suppose there is a little water in a puddle. Then a person might arrive, afflicted and oppressed by the heat, weary, thirsty, and parched. He would think: ‘This little bit of water is in the puddle. If I try to drink it with my cupped hands or a vessel, I will stir it up, disturb it, and make it undrinkable. Let me get down on all fours, suck it up like a cow, and depart.’ He then gets down on all fours, sucks the water up like a cow, and departs. So too, when a person's bodily behavior and verbal behavior are impure but from time to time he gains an opening of the mind, placidity of mind, on that occasion one should not attend to the impurity of his bodily and verbal behavior, but should instead attend to the opening of the mind, the placidity of mind, he gains from time to time. In this way resentment toward that person should be removed."

​Aghata Pativinaya  Suttas - Removing Resentment - i and ii 
Translated from the Pali by Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi

Removing Resentment - (1)
"Bhikkhus, there are these five ways of removing resentment by which a bhikkhu should entirely remove resentment when it has arisen toward anyone. What five?
(1) One should develop loving-kindness for the person one resents; in this way one should remove the resentment toward that person.
(2) One should develop compassion for the person one resents; in this way one should remove the resentment toward that person.
(3) One should develop equanimity toward the person one resents; in this way one should remove the resentment toward that person.  
(4) One should disregard the person one resents and pay no attention to him; in this way one should remove the resentment toward that person.
(5) One should apply the idea of the ownership of karma to the person one resents, thus: ‘This venerable one is the owner of his karma, the heir of his karma; he has karma as his origin, karma as his relative, karma as his resort; he will be the heir of any karma he does, good or bad.’ In this way one should remove the resentment toward that person.
These are the five ways of removing resentment by which a bhikkhu should entirely remove resentment when it has arisen toward anyone."

Cunda  Sutta – A Discourse on the Establishments of Mindfulness         On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Savatthi in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Now on that occasion the Venerable Sariputta was dwelling among the Magadhans at Nalakagama—sick, afflicted, gravely ill—and the novice Cunda was his attendant. Then, because of that illness, the Venerable Sariputta attained final Nibbana.
       The novice Cunda, taking the Venerable Sariputta's bowl and robe, went to Savatthi, to Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. There he approached the Venerable Ananda, paid homage to him, sat down to one side, and said to him: "Venerable sir, the Venerable Sariputta has attained final Nibbana. This is his bowl and robe."
       "Friend Cunda, we should see the Blessed One about this piece of news. Come, friend Cunda, let us go to the Blessed One and report this matter to him." - "Yes, venerable sir," the novice Cunda replied.
       Then the Venerable Ananda and the novice Cunda approached the Blessed One, paid homage to him, and sat down to one side. The Venerable Ananda then said to the Blessed One: "This novice Cunda, venerable sir, says that the Venerable Sariputta has attained final Nibbana, and this is his bowl and robe. Venerable sir, since I heard that the Venerable Sariputta has attained final Nibbana, my body seems as if it has been drugged, I have become disoriented, the teachings are no longer clear to me."

He went to the Blessed One, and after going and prostrating himself with his head at the Blessed One's feet, he said this to the Blessed One: "Let the Blessed One preach the Dharma to me, reverend Sir, let the Fortunate One preach the Dharma, that will be for my benefit and happiness for a long time." "It is the wrong time for you, Bahiya, we have entered among the houses for alms." "But it is hard to know, reverend Sir, the dangers to the Blessed One's life, or the dangers to my life! Let the Blessed One preach the Dharma to me, reverend Sir, let the Fortunate One preach the Dharma, that will be for my benefit and happiness for a long time."

Numerical Discourses of the Budda – Lonapala sutta  - Discourses of  A Lump of Salt (ND3-100)
"Monks, if one were to say thus: ‘A person experiences kamma in precisely(exactly) the same way that he created it,’ in such a case there could be no living of the spiritual life and no opportunity would be seen for completely making an end of suffering.
 
 But if one were to say thus: ‘When a person creates kamma that is to be experienced in a particular way, he experiences its result precisely in that way,’ in such a case the living of the spiritual life is possible and an opportunity is seen for completely making an end of suffering. 

"Here, bhikkhus(monks), some person has created trifling bad kamma yet it leads him to hell, while some other person here has created exactly the same trifling kamma yet it is to be experienced in this very life, without even a slight residue being seen, much less abundant residue. 

"What kind of person creates trifling bad kamma that leads him to hell? Here, some person is undeveloped in body, virtuous behavior, mind, and wisdom; he is limited and has a mean character, and he dwells in suffering. When such a person creates trifling bad kamma, it leads him to hell. 

"What kind of person creates exactly the same trifling bad kamma and yet it is to be experienced in this very life, without even a slight residue being seen, much less abundant residue? Here, some person is developed in body, virtuous behavior, mind, and wisdom. He is unlimited and has a lofty character, and he dwells without measure. When such a person creates exactly the same trifling bad kamma, it is to be experienced in this very life, without even a slight residue being seen, much less abundant residue. ​

"It is volition, bhikkhus, that I call kamma. For having willed, one acts by body, speech, or mind. (Cetanāhaṁ, bhikkhave, kammaṁ vadāmi. Cetayitvākammaṁ karoti–  kāyena vācāya manasā )
"And what is the source and origin of kamma? Contact is its source and origin.
"And what is the diversity of kamma? There is kamma to be experienced in hell; there is kamma to be experienced in the animal realm; there is kamma to be experienced in the realm of afflicted spirits; there is kamma to be experienced in the human world; and there is kamma to be experienced in the deva world. This is called the diversity of kamma.
