Simple Dhamma

  • What is Dhamma?
  • Why am I so much fond of it? ....
There are 6 perfect reasons worth about the Dhamma.
  1. It's perfectly explained by the Buddha ( Here you may take the Buddha as a professor specialised in the study of the minds and matters existed insights of human beings)
  2. It can be taught, learnt, understood and practiced by any layperson regardless of age, sex or race.
  3. One can be enlightened from Dhamma at any time or any occasion with a cause of reasonable mindfulness or practice.
  4. Dhamma invites and attracts to see and feel more and more when one is seeking deeply into it.
  5. Everyone should keep Dhamma visions and wisdoms in minds in their day to day living.
  6. Dhamma roots out our impurities of minds and bodily cravings, and it brings absolute peacefulness.
  • Dhamma ... how can I know more about Dhamma?
Dhamma can be simple if you think or follow it simply.
Dhamma can be very deeply understandable if you think or follow it deeply.

Dhamma is not created but it is all existances in the law of nature.
We follow Buddha who discovered Dhamma from the law of nature. Buddha is not a creater.
Scope of the Dhamma actually is very wide.
There are about 84,000 Dhamma explainations or Dhamma matters to learn.
Buddhists keep it all in 3 Pitakats.

  • Esaiest and simplest way to stay with Dhamma is -
To be mindful yourself at all times.
You don't need to think, create or imagine what you don't know or understand about.
As simple as that!


To be mindful yourself is just to . . .
  • know what you'r physical body inside and outside is happening ...
  • know when you're talking ...
  • know when you're thinking ...
  • right at the time of present continuously.

In the other way . . .
  • think, know, be mindful
  • see, know, be mindful
  • hear, know, be mindful
  • smell, know, be mindful
  • taste, know, be mindful
  • touch, know, be mindful (hti, thi, tha-ti)

  • You may ask, What are the benefit doing so?
You will know what you're doing is correct or not, should or not.
Other people would not be troublesome due to your misdeeds.
People become to like you and love you as you are are not troublesome
and helpful in your society.

Dhamma has the nature of being contented. It is likely to be detached.
And, it is aginst the selfishness.

Usually, Dhamma lovers or devotees always become the victims of selfish people and rulers in the histories.
But they have inner peace for the rest of their lives and gain afterlife
benefits or in the correct direction to the footpath to the Nirvirna.


Nivirna can also be explained easily.
To get to the Nivirna you give up everything.
You will reach to the Nivirna when you don't even want the Nivirna!
