Siddhi Thero: The Supreme Buddha preached a practical teaching (Dhamma). It is something to be applied practically in our everyday lives. For anyone following this teaching, they absolutely need the tools to live within the Dhamma practically. What does that mean? It means we have to live. It is in the midst of living that we encounter life's experiences. Can we practice this practically without going through anything? Suppose I tell you to live practically today. How can you live practically by doing nothing, or without a thought? Disciple...

Practitioner: My question today is this: As I sit here now, Venerable Sir, having been someone who observed thoughts as they arose for so long, I suddenly realized today... no, all of this is happening with me... It feels like an edited film, moving scene by scene across the screen. I realized that all this time, I was the one who "edited" it. I understood that. I used to think, "Thoughts should be like this," "It must be this way," "I must do this," "I must do that." But now I understand that if I am merely acti...

මුල් සිංහල වීඩියෝව සඳහා Play කරන්න The Illusion of Consciousness  | Dhamma Siddhi Thero A Note on the Source Text: This translation was prepared from a transcript of the original video recording.

If we are unable to control the mind, the events occurring through the other sense bases will happen regardless. Is it not the mind that collates these stories and weaves them together? If someone feels, "I must do this," it is because that thought has become real to them. If it feels real, I act upon it. Consider a dream: within the dream, everything happens—even natural functions like urinating—and within that context, it is not a problem; it is simply what is destined to happen in that realm. There are things that are destined to unfold. If Prince Siddhart...

මුල් සිංහල වීඩියෝව සඳහා Play කරන්න Beyond the Extremes of 'Is' and 'Isn't'  | Dhamma Siddhi Thero   A Note on the Source Text: This translation was prepared from a transcript of the original video recording. As the source transcript may have contained inaccuracies, there may be variations between this text and the original audio, particularly in the spelling of personal names, the titles of Suttas, and the rendering of Pali verses. Disciple: Venerable Sir, these two extremes of 'outside' and 'inside'—are they both ultimately created through this very process of attention (manasikāra)? Siddhi Thero: Yes.   Disciple: As perceptions (saññā) arise, one can see that two sides have been formed. Siddhi Thero: Yes, an 'outside' and an 'inside' do not exist anywhere in reality. This needs to be properly understood. When I explain this, I speak of two things: the internal (ajjhatta) and the external (bahiddha)—or 'inside' and 'outs...

මුල් සිංහල වීඩියෝව සඳහා Play කරන්න The Art of Mastering the Mind  | Dhamma Siddhi Thero   Disciple: Now, Venerable Sir, I have understood from various explanations that it is through the state of our mind that we perceive the physical world. Siddhi Thero: Yes, that is what the Buddha also taught. When he said, ‘Cetanāhaṃ, bhikkhave, kammaṃ vadāmi’ Disciple: and in similar teachings, he was pointing to this: to develop virtue (sīla) and keep the mind free. [Inaudible] Siddhi Thero: So, is that something that can actually be done? These things you mention, like keeping the mind free… Can they really be done? Is it like being told to keep your house clean or to keep your yard swept? Is it something a person can just do? Wouldn't you want that? Don't you dislike it when your mind isn't free? Wouldn't anyone who desires a free mind just do it if they could? No one would need to tell them. What I am asking is, can this actually be done? Disciple: Yes, it is difficult, Venerab...

මුල් සිංහල වීඩියෝව සඳහා Play කරන්න For Everyone Who Seeks | About the Cover  | Dhamma Siddhi Thero Monk: The word Peta has several meanings. The main one is, what we talk about as Peta is not what people generally talk…. Disciple: Not about as a ghost (preta)? Monk: That is, what people talk about, the Peta mentioned in the Tirokudda Sutta, it says they are at the doorframes, in the drains, right? That they are in all those places in the houses. People believe a ghost story that the dead come and are born and live in those places. But what the commentaries (Atuva) explain as Peta is that when someone among us dies, they are all peto. Ito peto. Ito means from this place, pecca means to another place, and gato means the one who has gone. That means the collective term for those who were alive with us and then died is Peta. That's why the Petavatthu and Vimanavatthu are two parts included in the Tipitaka. It's like this, after everything has been properly organized, let's sa...
