"Theravada Buddhism: A Social History from Ancient Benares to Modern Colombo" - By R Gombrich

"Mindfulness in Plain English" by H Gunaratana

Context

  • One general accepted theory is that by the end of the first century CE, a distinct form of Buddhism emerged that was different from what is known as Theravada. This new form is termed Mahayana (Greater Vehicle).

  • Mahayana is a developed form of Theravada. Key differences include: new sutras (writings), a focus on both karuna (compassion) and prajna (wisdom), and belief that everyone has the tathagatagarbha (Buddha-nature) within.

  • Mahayana Buddhism viewed Theravada as being based only on the Buddha’s teaching for his original audience. Mahayana’s teachings had prajnaparamita (perfect wisdom) – that is deeper truths available for more people. 

  • A major difference between Theravada and Mahayana concerns the ultimate spiritual status of a Buddhist. In Theravada, it is to be an arhat (noble/worthy one) and in Mahayana it is to be a bodhisattva (enlightened being). In Mahayana, the best-known bodhisattvas are Avalokitesvara and Manjushri. Bodhisattvas are Buddha but continue to assist sentient beings in samsara. Mahayana’s complex cosmology describes multiple universes with multiple Buddhas and bodhisattvas

Origins - Nikaya Buddhism 

Theravada is significance as the only surviving form of  "Nikaya Buddhism".  

  • 'Nikaya' translate to 'Common vehicle'- reflects the fact that its teachings form the basis for all others. The term Nikāya Buddhism was coined by Masatoshi Nagatomi (c.1926-2000CE) as a non-derogatory substitute for Hinayana to be used in RS / Buddhist studies, meaning the early Buddhist schools. 

  • "Theravada Buddhism" developed  from the Second Council- which splits Buddhism into minority Sthavira conservatives and Mahasamghikas liberals; Sthaviras unify under Asoka at 3rd council, renamed Vibhajyavada; that splits into 4 schools, Tamraparniya spreads to Sri Lanka.

  • Vishuddhimagga 5th cCE- preserves Pali Language, progressive interpretation of tipitaka

  • Nanamoli describe the Vishudhimagga- "the hub of a complete and coherent method of exegesis of the Tipitaka"

  • The main splits in Buddhism around the time of the 3rd Council/Asoka's reign-were the Pre-Theravadins- Puritan adherence to scripture and Pre-Mahayanas- Relaxed rules, weaker monastic order, worship of Saints

  • Theravadins claim identity with original Sthavira school which would mean their teachings are pure, however just because they lead from one to the other that does not mean the teachings remained the same.

  • Keown argues in response to Theravadin heritage claims "There is no historical evidence that the Theravada school rose until after the Great Schism"

  • Dipavisimya respond to Theravadin heritage- "Like a great banyan tree, the Theravada is supreme“; "the other sects arose like thorns on the tree"

  • Emperor Asoka-Ruler who united India, patron of Buddhism- hosted third council and send missionaries all over the place to spread the good word

  • The significance of Theravadans being on Sri Lanka- Isolated- little Hindu/Tibetan influence unlike Indian Mahayana; Dominant- little debate and challenging of teaching so teachings remain 'pure'

Theravada rejection of the idea of the Three Vehicles.  

THE THREE VEHICLES/THREE RAFTS?

  • This is a hMahayanan categorisation of Buddhism rejected by Theravada. Mahayana say Theravda is Hiniyana- the 'lesser vehicle’, while Mahayana- is teh the greater 'Great vehicle’, (Tibetian Buddhism is a Third Vechile called Vajrayana- 'diamond vehicle'- this course does not focus on this)

  • Theravadins reject the 3 vehicles- Accepting of what they see as heresies and perversion or cupportion of the teachings of the Buddha.  

  • Theravada believe in "realism" i.e. they believe the parts fs  vs M idealist philosophy;  Pali Canon vs M Prajnaparamita

  • Theravadins reject the term 'Hiniyana’ Means "lesser vehicle"- bit derisive and does not reflect purer teaching.

  • Gombrich "Since Theravadins adhere to a pre-Mahayana view of Buddhism they are... Hiniyana“ Gombrich on  the name 'Theravada’  "The title thus claims conservatism"

  • The focus of Theravada Buddhism- Cultivation of wisdom through 4NT/8FP; Emphasis on monastic life; Monks must be chaste and not have material possessions


The centrality of Buddha Gautama, especially in their use of images and stupas.  

BELIEFS ABOUT THE BUDDHA 

  • Human like us, dead and gone

  • The Dhammapada verse which has a summary of all 3 schools Verse 183: "To do no harm whatsoever (T); to cultivate perfect good to perfection (M); to tame this mind of ours (V)"

  • Theravada on death and the afterlife- Death leads to rebirth via cycle of samsara; Parinibbana- "eternal bliss", what happens to a dead arhat

  • The philosophy of Theravada- Realistic ontology- object and perception exist simultaneously, however there is only dependent reality

  • Dukkha: "blazing masses of fuel" (fire analogy)


Arhat + Nibanna

Arhat

The goal and central teaching of theravada Buddhists to to achieve nibbana and parinibbana alongside an emphasis on renunciation. This means to be enlightended you must complete the four stages to becoming an arahant.  

  • In Theravada, a bhikku following the Eightfold Path goes through four stages in their  spiritual progress: (1) sotapanna (stream-enterer), (2) sakadagami (once-returner), (3) anagama (non-returner) and (4) arhat.

  • Each stage is marked by the bhikku becoming increasingly free of “chains/fetters”, which  limit spiritual progress such as ignorance, ill will, pride, craving, attachment to rituals.

  • Ultimately this is a solitary path and may take a number of lifetimes to complete. Once a bhikku becomes an arhat, he has attained nibbana in this life, which means that his mind is detached from his body and bodily experiences such as pain and his actions are free  from karma


WHAT ARE THE 4 STAGES OF BECOMING AN ARHAT?

1: 'Stream-enterer'- first direct insight, eliminates illusion

2: 'Once-returner'- Another insight, furthers anatta

3: 'Never-returner'- Hindrances completely gone, tranquility

4: 'Arhat'- Achieved Nirvana  


What does each stage mean?

  • A stream enterer- Understanding of the 3 marks and the 3 refuges, in addition to faith in the moral and ascetic path to enlightenment

  • Aonce-returner - Enlightenment after only one more rebirth; Requires a lack of attachment to sensual desire and ill will

  • A non returner- Complete removal of sensual desire and ill will, rebirth in the pure abodes

  • An arhat "perfected person“


Nibanna

  • Liberation after individual enlightenment

  • What is a quote from the Fire Sermon that demonstrates the Theravada nirvana ideal  "be ye lamps unto yourselves"

  • Nirvana described in the samyutta nikaya?  "It is, o bhikkhus, the extinction of desire, the extinction of hatred, the extinction of illusion"

  • How does Bhikkhu Bodhi describe nirvana- "the ultimate goal"

Beliefs and Practices

The distinctive teachings of Theravada; their interpretation and application in light of the life and teachings of the Buddha and other traditions of Buddhism and their different emphases.  

  • The Theravada view on Gods- No ultimate creator as no evidence, so why pray to one- Gods exist but are limited, can help with smaller issues but not nirvana

  • Dukkha in Theravada Emphasis on the physical "refers to the experience of the body" (Bodhi), suffering is real in that it is a change in our condition (realist)

  • Tanha in Theravada-  Desire for sensuality, existence causes karmic 'seeds’; part of conditioned reality

  • Nirodha in Theravada- Nirvana is escaping samsara; Insight into 4NT is salvation; Based off of Buddha's teachings but he himself is dead and gone

    • Gunaratana on the focus of Theravada ontology "Don't cling to anything and don't reject anything"

    • Gombrich on  the focus of Theravada- "hallmarks of Theravāda Buddhism are the use of Pali as its main sacred language and dependence on the Pali version of the Buddhist Canon as its sacred scripture"

    • Gunaratana on  the emphasis of Theravada teaching- "Theravada Buddhism places additional value on liberation when it accompanied by jhanas and skill in the modes of enlightenment"


PRACTICES

  • Gunaratana on  Theravada Buddhist practice- "by silencing the mind, we can experience real peace“;  "the purpose... is personal transformation“; "when you have learned compassion for yourself, compassion for others is automatic"

  • Gombrich describe Theravada enlightenment- "Nirvana is the abolition of passion".


NIBANNA

  • ‘Nibbana is not situated in any place nor is it a sort of heaven where a transcendental ego resides. It is a state which is dependent upon this body itself. It is an attainment which is within the reach of all.’ (Narada Thera)
