In 1994 while I was staying in Shwe Taungong Paṇḍitārāma, Yangon, I wrote an article in answer to a question posed by a Malaysian nun, Sister Vivekanandī, who was then meditating there. It was later published in 1995 as a booklet by Buddhist Wisdom Centre, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, entitled Cessation Experiences and the Notion of Enlightenment: Tentative Findings of a Preliminary Research.
Āyasmā Aggacitta cites passages from the Pāli suttas to highlight several misconceptions about Gotama's search for awakening and the nature of the jhānas and āruppas. As usual his well structured arguments are solidly based on the Pāli suttas and practical experience, with significant impact on Dhamma practice.
Pindacāra, the practice of collecting alms-food, is observed by Theravada Buddhist monks who have gone forth from ‘home-life’ to ‘homelessness’. A Buddhist monk is known in Pāli Language as a ‘bhikkhu’ – meaning ‘one who lives on alms’.
In Buddhist countries such as Thailand and Myanmar, it is a daily ritual for monks to go onPindacāra, where they walk through a village from one household to another, allowing devotees to make food offerings.
