Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa ! Homage to the Blessed One, the Worthy One, the Supremely Enlightened One! Anuruddha Sutta – Eight Thoughts of a Great Person. (The Supreme Buddha Preached this discourse to Venerable Anuruddha first and then to Bhikkus.) (1) " Bhikkhus, this Dhamma is for one with few desires, not for one with strong desires. Here, when a bhikkhu is one with few desires, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be one with few desires.’ When he is content, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be one who is content.’ When he resorts to solitude, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be one who resorts to solitude.’ When he is energetic, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be energetic.’ When he is mindful, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be mindful.’ When he is concentrated, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be concentrated.’ When he is wise, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be wise.’ When he delights in non-proliferation, he does not desire: ‘Let people know me to be one who delights in non-proliferation.

Namothassa Bhagawato Arahato Samma Sambuddassa.... Homage to the Blessed One. The Worthy One. The Supremely Enlightened One. Creeping - Discourses of Sansappanipariyaya ND-216 "Bhikkhus, I will teach you an exposition of the Dhamma on creeping. Listen and attend closely. I will speak." "Yes, Bhante," those bhikkhus replied. The Blessed One said this: "And what, bhikkhus, is that exposition of the Dhamma on creeping? Bhikkhus, beings are the owners of their kamma, the heirs of their kamma; they have kamma as their origin, kamma as their relative, kamma as their resort; whatever kamma they do, good or bad, they are its heirs. (1) "Here, someone destroys life; he is murderous, bloody-handed, given to blows and violence, merciless to living beings. He creeps along by body, speech, and mind. His bodily kamma is crooked; his verbal kamma is crooked; his mental kamma is crooked. His destination is crooked; his rebirth is crooked. But for one with a crooked destination and rebirth, I say, there is one of two destinations: either the exclusively painful hells or a species of creeping animal. And what are the species of creeping animals? The snake, the scorpion, the centipede, the mongoose, the cat, the mouse, and the owl, or any other animals that creep away when they see people. Thus a being is reborn from a being; one is reborn through one's deeds. When one has been reborn, contacts affect one. It is in this way, I say, that beings are the heirs of their kamma.

Mahāsatipaṭṭhāna Sutta The Greater Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness(DN22) Thus have I heard. Once the Lord was staying among the Kurus. There is a market-town of theirs called Kammāsadhamma. And there the Lord addressed the monks: ‘Monks!’ ‘Lord’, they replied, and the Lord said: ‘There is, monks, this one way to the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and distress, for the disappearance of pain and sadness, for the gaining of the right path, for the realisation of Nibbāna: - that is to say the four foundations of mindfulness. ‘What are the four? Here, monks, a monk abides contemplating body as body, ardent, clearly aware and mindful, having put aside hankering and fretting for the world; he abides contemplating feelings as feelings ... ; he abides contemplating mind as mind ... ; he abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects, ardent, clearly aware and mindful, having put aside hankering and fretting for the world.’

Here, detached from sensual pleasures, detached from unwholesome states, a monk enters upon and abides in the first jhana, which is accompanied by applied and sustained thought, with rapture and pleasure born of seclusion. With the stilling of applied and sustained thought. he enters upon and abides in the second jhana, which has self – confidence and singleness of mind, without applied and sustained thought, with rapture and pleasure born of concentration. With the fading away as well of rapture, he abides in equanimity, and mindful and fully aware, still feeling pleasure with the body. he enters upon and abides in the third jhana, on account of which noble ones announce: 'He has a pleasant abiding who has equanimity and is mindful.' With the abandoning of pleasure and pain, and with the earlier disappearance of joy and grief. he enters upon and abides in the fourth jhana, which has neither – pain, nor – pleasure and purity of mindfulness and equanimity.

"Venerable sir, the great earth is more. The little bit of soil that the Blessed One has taken up in his fingernail is trifling. Compared to the great earth, the little bit of soil that the Blessed One has taken up in his fingernail is not calculable, does not bear comparison, does not amount even to a fraction."

In what way is a noble disciple one of right view, whose view is straight, who has unwavering confidence in the Dhamma, and has arrived at this true Dhamma?" "Indeed, friend, we would come from far away to learn from the venerable Sāriputta the meaning of this statement. It would be good if the venerable Sāriputta would explain the meaning of this statement. Having heard it from him, the bhikkhus will remember it." "Then, friends, listen and attend closely to what I shall say." "Yes, friend," the bhikkhus replied. The venerable Sāriputta said this: The Wholesome and the Unwholesome "When, friends, a noble disciple understands the unwholesome and the root of the unwholesome, the wholesome and the root of the wholesome, in that way he is one of right view, whose view is straight, who has unwavering confidence in the Dhamma and has arrived at this true Dhamma. "And what, friends, is the unwholesome, what is the root of the unwholesome, what is the wholesome, what is the root of the wholesome? Killing living beings is unwholesome; taking what is not given is unwholesome; misconduct in sensual pleasures is unwholesome; false speech is unwholesome; malicious speech is unwholesome; harsh speech is unwholesome; gossip is unwholesome; covetousness is unwholesome; ill will is unwholesome; wrong view is unwholesome.

There is addiction to indulgence in sense-pleasures, which is low, coarse, and the way of ordinary people, not practised by nobel ones, and is unbeneficial; And there is addiction to self-mortification, which is painful not practised by nobel ones, and unbeneficial. Avoiding both these extremes, monks, the Tathāgata has realized the Middle Path which gives vision, give knowledge; and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment, and to Nibbana.
