I sometime feel so shame to write big big things because I can’t practice them in my life. At times I feel shame to share borrowed knowledge. Again, I feel, hey, there could be people out there who can take advantage of my borrowed knowledge; after all things start from श्रुतमयी प्रज्ञा. How can they reach to भावनामयी प्रज्ञा if they don’t hear from someone? I also am not a man of just श्रुत and चिन्तन only. I also have practiced भावना as well even though it is little. I always have this type of conflict. At this time the conflict is at its height. I can’t write anymore until it gets settled. Please forgive me; for the time being I got to leave Sajha, if I return, I will start right from Here Now I think it’s time to describe : सिल (Discipline) समाधी (Awareness) प्रज्ञा (Wisdom) in more detail. Buddha divided these three into eight parts and told the path as -अरियो अठ्ठङगिको मग्गो – आर्य अष्ठाङ्गिक मार्ग – The eight fold noble path. सिल (Discipline) 1. सम्मा बाचा (Right speech) 2. सम्मा कम्मन्तो (Right action) 3. सम्मा आजिबो (Right livelihood) समाधी (Awareness) 4. सम्मा वायामो (Right exercise) 5. सम्मा सति (Right awareness) 6. सम्मा समाधी (Right concentration) प्रज्ञा (Wisdom) 7. सम्मा दिठ्ठी (Right view) 8. सम्मा संकप्पो (Right thought)
