Preface
Over the last few years, several readers have indicated to me that the articles in the Introductory Course in Buddhism were too brief and should be expanded to provide more details. This new book entitled “Buddhism Course” is a carefully researched and upgraded version. It contains 17 chapters dealing with most of the relevant topics on Buddhism, such as: Life of the Buddha, Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Noble Path, Dependent Origin, Law of Kamma, Death and Rebirth, Five Destinations, World Cycles when Buddhas Appear, Ten Bases of Meritorious Action, Buddhist Vipassana Meditation, Recollection of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha and the Three Baskets (Tipitaka) in Buddhism.
In this book, reference material from various has been utilized to provide readers with some new interesting articles on Buddhism. “Death and Rebirth” describes the modes of death and objects presented to the mind before death such as the five visions of a dying person followed by the modes of birth. “Five Destinations (Pancagati)” describes in detail the Thirty-one Planes of Existence or planes of rebirth recognized in Buddhist Cosmology. “World Cycles When Buddhas Appear” describes the conditions for the rare appearance of a Buddha as well as the perfections (parami) that an aspirant has to practise to achieve the status of Pacceka Buddha and Maha Arahant. “Recollection of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha” describes in detail the Nine Supreme Virtue of the Buddha, the Six Virtues of the Dhamma and the Nine Virtues of the Sangha, respectively. Understanding of the virtues of the Triple Gem is a condition for success in the practice of the meditation of Mindfulness of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha.
“Three Baskets (Tipitaka) in Buddhism” is the longest article containing 50 pages chronicling the history of how the Pali Canon was preserved over the last 2500 years of its existence through the Buddhist Councils, starting from the Council of Rajagaha three months after Parinibbana to the Sixth Council in Yangon 2500 years later in 1956. Although a bit lengthy, the author decided to publish it in this book to enable the reader to know, understand and appreciate the crucial role of the Sangha in the preservation, propagation and perpetuation of the Buddha Sasana.
Many articles have been expanded with detailed explanatory notes added, notably in Chapter I – Life of the Buddha, Chapter IV Dependent Origination and Chapter XII – “Transference of Merits to Departed Relatives”.
The compilation of this book was a labour of love and a source of joy. It is hoped that readers will find pleasure in reading the articles and benefit from them.
