Contrary to the views of others who interpret pitaka as 'basket', he interprets it as 'scripture' which is corroborated by the Buddha's use of the word in Kesamutti sutta and other suttas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe has also brought out the physical beauty of the Buddha who had 32 marks of a great man and which attracted some of the disciples to him. But against this perishable physical body (rupa-kaya) he has also shown the imperishable Dhamma-kaya (teachings of the Buddha). Dhamma-k ya is not only imperishable and immortal but also infinite, deep and immeasurable like the sea. It is infinite because it is taught by one whose cravings that make one limited are rooted out in the same way as a palm tree is cut which can never grow again. In this part one of the nine qualities of the Buddha, that he is an arhat, has been explained with many examples culled from the Tipitaka.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 2\u003c\/strong\u003e Goenkaji explains two other qualities of the Buddha with examples from the Sutta pitaka such as, he is Perfectly Enlightened and he is endowed with vijja (wisdom) and acarana (conduct).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 3\u003c\/strong\u003e many more examples are given from the Tipitaka to bring out his great wisdom (vijja) and pure conduct (acarana). That he is sugata i.e. whose physical, vocal and mental actions are pure, faultless and not blameworthy has also been brought out here. The Pali quotations given here from the Tipi aka to illustrate these points have been translated into Hindi so that readers who do not know Pali can enjoy reading the book and understand what Goenkaji wants to say. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 4\u003c\/strong\u003e Goenkaji explains the other three of the nine qualities of the Buddha. The Buddha is a lokavidu i.e. he is a knower of the world. In other words, he does not only know the world but he also knows how it comes into being, how one can transcend it and go beyond it and how it can be eliminated. Besides this, the Buddha is an incomparable charioteer and knows how to tame the people who are to be tamed just as a charioteer trains a horse of good breed. The Buddha trains people in such a way that not only their life becomes virtuous but also they do good to others who come in their contact. He chisels them in such a way that they become very useful for society besides being good for themselves. Goenkaji also explains how the Buddha is a teacher of gods and men and he does not teach them what he has heard from others, nor does he teach them what is irrefutable by logic, but instead he teaches them what he has himself experienced and, therefore, he is a different kind of teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 5\u003c\/strong\u003e Goenkaji continues to explain more of the Buddha s qualities as a teacher of gods and men. Then he explains why he is called the Buddha.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe is called the Buddha because he attained bodhi all by himself, without the help of any teacher and has become cool and quenched. He teaches people to observe noble silence so that they can practice meditation, remove defilements that cause their suffering from their minds, realize impermanence, suffering and no-self, develop non-attachment to all objects of the world and attain peace and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 6\u003c\/strong\u003e Goenkaji provides further explanation as to why the term Buddha is appropriate. Then he explains why Buddha is called Bhagava. He is called Bhagava because he has destroyed all cravings (raga), all aversions (dosa) and all ignorance (moha). He has earned this name by dint of his own efforts. This name has not been given to him by his parents or other relatives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Buddha was a great man who thought good of all. He taught his Dhamma to all in such a way that they enjoyed listening to it and putting it into practice in their life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe also had a sense of humor as is evident from what he said to Akkosaka Bharadvaja. All these aspects of his personality have been highlighted with apt quotations from the Tipi aka along with their Hindi translations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGoenkaji has also brought out one important aspect of Dhamma. The Buddha says that Dhamma should be used just as a raft to cross the ocean of becoming and after crossing, it should not be carried by one on his shoulders. The meaning is that one should not develop attachment even to Dhamma.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this way Goenkaji has highlighted the important aspects of the Buddha with examples he collected from a deep study of the Tipitaka.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll the six parts of the TSS contain Hindi word index, Pali word index, index of sutta, gatha and vatthu and index of proper names.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe way the parts of the \u003ci\u003eTipitaka Mein Samyak Sambuddha\u003c\/i\u003e have been arranged and the quotations from the Tipi aka with their Hindi translations have been given make them a very interesting reading and one can know all important aspects of the personality of the Buddha and his Dhamma from them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eTipitaka Mein Samyak Sambuddha\u003c\/i\u003e divided into six parts can well be said to be an ocean in a pot. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin-left: 350px\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e Professor Angraj Chaudhary\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e     \u003chr\u003e     \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSixth volume\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Introduction to the Tipitaka.

A course in Vipassana meditation is an opportunity to take concrete steps towards liberation. For this reason, in a Vipassana course the emphasis is always on actual practice. No philosophical debates are permitted, no theoretical arguments, no questions that are unrelated to one's own experience. As far as possible, meditators are encouraged to find the answers to their questions within themselves. The teacher provides whatever guidance is needed in the practice, but it is up to each person to implement these guidelines: one has to fight one's own battle, work out one's own salvation. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGiven this emphasis, still some explanation is necessary to provide a context for the practice. Therefore every evening of a course Goenkaji gives a 'Dhamma talk', in order to put into perspective the experiences of that day, and to clarify various aspects of the technique. These discourses, he warns, are not intended as intellectual or emotional entertainment. Their purpose is simply to help meditators understand what to do and why, so that they will work in the proper way and will achieve the proper results.   It is these talks that are presented here in condensed form. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe eleven discourses provide a broad overview of the teaching of the Buddha. The approach to this subject, however, is not scholarly or analytical. Instead the teaching is presented in the way that it unfolds to a meditator: as a dynamic, coherent whole. All its different facets are seen to reveal an underlying unity: the experience of meditation. This experience is the inner fire that gives true life and brilliance to the jewel of the Dhamma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOther Languages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eYou can browse the \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003erelated items\u003c\/span\u003e below for this title in other languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eeBook\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis title is also available as an eBook bundle (ePub, Mobi, PDF).
