Commentary on the Dhammapada–by Swami Nirmalananda GiriOver and over in the teachings of Buddha we find that he is giving us only that which can be applied in our daily lives in order to fit ourselves for freedom from all that bind us. Never does he waste a single moment of our time with metaphysics that, by their abstract nature, have no practical use. Again and again we see from his words that Dharma is a matter of…Continue

Commentary on the Dhammapada–by Swami Nirmalananda GiriHistory of the DhammapadaThe Dhammapada is not a transcription of a single talk by Gautama the Buddha. Rather, it is a collection of his words on the most important subjects for those seeking Nirvana. It was compiled only three months after his passing away by his enlightened disciples (arhats), who gave it the name Dhammapada, which means "Portions of the…Continue

Commentary on the Dhammapada–by Swami Nirmalananda GiriHe the gods hold dear“When a man’s senses have come to peace, like horses well broken by the trainer, when he is rid of conceit and without inflowing thoughts–even devas envy such a well set man” (Dhammapada 94). Narada Thera renders it better: “He whose senses are subdued, like steeds well-trained by a charioteer, he whose pride is destroyed and is free from the…Continue

Commentary on the Dhammapada–by Swami Nirmalananda GiriIn India from time immemorial swans have been symbols of the liberated spirits. They fly easily through the boundless sky, and upon earth they can extract milk from a mixture of milk and water. They do this by means of an acid in their mouths which they expel into the water. The acid makes the milk coagulate, and the swans eat the solidified milk, leaving the water…Continue
