{"product_id":"1724","title":"Lion's Roar :  Sihanada Suttas","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the Pāli Canon, the Buddha describes his proclamation of the Dhamma as his \"lion's roar,\" a designation that the commentaries say implies the qualities of supremacy, fearlessness, and unchallengability. This 42-page booklet is an English translation of two suttas originally translated by the eminent English scholar monk Bhikkhu Ñ  amoli, which have been edited and revised by Bhikkhu Bodhi, who has also provided introductions and notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first sutta (\u003cstrong\u003eThe Shorter Discourse on the Lion's Roar\u003c\/strong\u003e, MN11) deals with the delicate question of whether different spiritual paths all lead to the same ultimate goal. The second sutta (\u003cstrong\u003eThe Great Discourse on the Lion's Roar\u003c\/strong\u003e, MN12) is a text of great scope and power in which the Buddha discloses the loftiness of his spiritual endowments. Spoken as a rebuttal to the charges of a renegade disciple, the sutta has had such a powerful impact that in ancient times it was also known as \"The Hair-Raising Discourse.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"50. I would plunge into some awe-inspiring grove and dwell there a grove so awe-inspiring that normally it would make a man's hair stand up if he were not free from lust. When those cold wintry nights came I would dwell by night in the open and by day in the grove. In the last month of the hot season I would dwell by day in the open and by night in the grove. And there came to me spontaneously this stanza never heard before:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Chilled by night and scorched by day, Alone in awe-inspiring groves, Naked, no fire to sit beside, The sage yet pursues his quest.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"51. I would make my bed in a charnel ground with the bones of the dead for a pillow. And cowherd boys came up and spat on me, urinated on me, threw dirt at me, and poked sticks in my ears. Yet I do not recall that I ever aroused an evil mind (of hate) against them. Such was my abiding equanimity.\" (pp. 35-36)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can find a PDF eBook of this title for free \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bps.lk\/googlesearch.php\"\u003eon the BPS site\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere are a total of 447 Wheels published by the Buddhist Publication Society (BPS), with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.pariyatti.org\/Wheel-Publications_c_386.html\"\u003e222 titles listed on our website\u003c\/a\u003e.
