Title

PRACTICING SILA (VIRTUE) IN DAILY LIFE: A PANACEA FOR PEACEFUL LIFE

Abstract

The essence of the Buddha’s teaching can be summed up in two principles - the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold path. The former embraces the side of doctrine and foremost response it elicits is understanding: the latter comprises the side of discipline and the pre-requisite is practice. These two are called Dhamma Vinaya, the doctrine and discipline: in short, the Dhamma. The last noble truth is the truth of the way - the noble eightfold path, while the first factor of the noble eightfold path is “right view” that is understanding the Four Noble Truths. In this way, the two principles penetrate and include one, the formula of the four noble truths containing the eightfold path and the noble eightfold path containing the four truths (Ven Bhikkhu Bodi 1999). To follow the noble eightfold path is a matter of practice rather than intellectual knowledge but to apply the path correctly, it has to be properly understood. In fact, right understanding of the path is itself a part of the practice. More than 200 centuries is the world, seven hundred crores population and seamlessly, a variety of complex human personalities, attitudes, behaviors, value system, belief system, socio - cultural background, religious, economic, academic, physical, psychological, emotional and other backgrounds. The world is filled with saints and sinners, beauty and ugly, healthy and ill - health, rich and poor, urban and rural, literates and illiterates, men and women. Human beings are undergoing transitory, pleasant experiences and a lot of suffering. They are searching and searching eternal happiness whether they succeed certainly not. One gains a lot, just to lose at the end. Suffering is the corner stone of Buddha’s teaching. Un-satisfactoriness is running through our lives, the lives of all but the enlightened one. This Dukkha erupts into open as sorrow, grief, disappointment or despair, fear and frustrations. The real satisfaction seems somehow always out of reach, just beyond the next horizon. In the end, one has to die, give-up his or her identity built over whole life, leave behind everything and everyone we love. But even death, the Buddha teaches, does not bring us to the end of Dukkha, for the life process does not stop with death. When life ends in one place, with one body, the “mental continuum”, the individual stream of consciousness springs up again elsewhere with a new body as its physical support. Thus, the cycle goes on over and over - birth, ageing and death driven by the thirst for more existence. The Buddha calls it as the round of rebirths – called samsara “the wandering”.
