These three words give completeness to Buddha’s teaching. Buddha never ever talked more than these three words. He delivered 84000 discourses during his 45 years of ministry, and never talked beyond these three words. All discourses were given to describe these three words …Discipline…..Awareness …. Wisdom. All 84,000 discourses are different but all of them clarify these three words: …Discipline…..Awareness …. Wisdom. In his language: सिल (Discipline) समाधी (Awareness) प्रज्ञा (Wisdom) Discipline is necessary for awareness and awareness generates wisdom. If you are not well disciplined, your mind wonders here and there and you can not be attentive and if you can not be attentive you can not understand. In his words if there is no सिल, there is no समाधी, and if there is no समाधी there is no प्रज्ञा. सिल (Discipline) समाधी (Awareness) प्रज्ञा (Wisdom) सिल (Discipline) समाधी (Awareness) प्रज्ञा (Wisdom) सिल (Discipline) समाधी (Awareness) प्रज्ञा (Wisdom) These are the three words which completes Buddha’s teaching. Not only Buddha’s teaching but any teaching in the universe. He said “ केबलं परिपुर्णं, केवलं परिशुद्दं।“ Meaning: it is absolutely complete and it is ultra pure. It means you can not add or subtract anything on them. सिल (Discipline) समाधी (Awareness) प्रज्ञा (Wisdom), are complete and ultra pure qualities to explore oneself. They make a complete path to explore oneself. Conclusion: Buddha’s teaching is to explore yourself with the tools of सिल (Discipline), समाधी (Awareness), and प्रज्ञा (Wisdom). I will describe सिल (Discipline), समाधी (Awareness), and प्रज्ञा (Wisdom), in more detail.
