The
Ten Contemplations
are
Daily Buddhist Routine!
The Blessed
Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus
and friends:
There is one contemplation, which when often practised and developed
leads to the complete turning away from the world, to detachment, to stilling, to ceasing, to
Peace, to final penetrating knowledge, to
Enlightenment, and thus to
Nibbāna...
Any Noble Disciple, who by progress has understood the Dhamma dwells frequently in this state.
What is that unique contemplation? It is reflecting over the qualities of the
Noble
Sangha thus:
"Perfectly training is this
Noble
Sangha
community of the
Buddha's
Noble Disciples.
They are
training the right way, the true way, the good way, the direct way! Therefore do these
8 kinds
of individuals, these four
Noble pairs, deserve both gifts, self-sacrifice, offerings, hospitality,
and reverential salutation with joined palms, since this
Noble
Sangha
community of the
Buddha's
Noble disciples, is indeed an unsurpassable,
and forever unsurpassed field of merit, in this world,
for this world, to honour, support, uphold, respect, and protect..."
