In true Buddhist tradition we wish to welcome all comers; of any or no faith at all. 


This may go against some traditions but we would like to offer those that might be either curious or like myself trying very hard to live by the Dharma but struggle to meet their own expectations the opportunity improve their practice without the worry of being over whelmed by a multitude of established Buddhist practitioners.


We also welcome those who are established in their practice, and invite those that would be generous, to offer their guidance. 

There are plenty of things we need as human beings, but one of the most neglected, is peace and quiet. Or more specifically, an absence of distraction and stimulation. We live in a frantic society, where we are constantly bombarded by news, media, gadgets, family, friends, telephones, computers, television and work.

Space and silence are important and rare. And like anything that is rare, they need protecting and nurturing. As our lives become noisier and busier the value of silence and solitude, difficult as it may be to find, becomes even greater. Perhaps visiting a Retreat is the perfect opportunity to try making space for quiet, to reclaim some silence and see whether it makes any difference to you.

By finding some time to look deep within yourself to find peace and tranquility, you are giving your mind, body, and soul the time to revitalise itself and help you look, feel, and be a happier and healthier and more controlled person.

O que é uma Sangha? Uma Sangha é uma comunidade de amigos praticando o Dharma juntos de forma a fazer acontecer e manter a consciência. A essência da Sangha é consciência, entendimento, aceitação, harmonia e amor. Quando você não vê isto em uma comunidade, não é uma verdadeira Sangha e você deveria ter a coragem de dizer. Mas quando você encontra esses elementos presentes em uma comunidade, sabe que tem a felicidade e a sorte de estar em uma Sangha real.

Notes and Events:

Dear Dhamma - Vinaya friend,

sangham.net "Virtual Dhamma - Vinaya Vihara" is a laity project and a try to erect a virtual Vihara (a monastery which is useable to set out Vinaya procedures) and should be offered to the monastic Sangha later on.

Next to this maybe particular intention this board should be an unforced place to discover Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha and a place to practice, exchange knowledge and experience as well as to study the teachings. After all the main focus is lesser to create something special outwardly but to support each other in regard of the training.

In regard of the general idea on virtuall Vihara, you may find a "general concept" as attached file, which is open to use how ever one wishes to do (the english translation is not very well yet!)

Please in no way hesitate to participate, criticize and contribute!

May all this work here always be free of strong defilement.

Much mudita
Johann



Objectives of sangham.net


I thought it would be good to mention general attributes to characterise the objectives of this community and the project as objectively as possible. Those collection might be generally useful for everything in relation with all work here:

I try to offer the opposite (what is should not have as objective) as well, as this might be useful to transport the meaning better.

Please feel invited to develop the objectives further as well as to talk about it. Please add if a significant objective is missing. It would be great if we could develop a short introduction for the objectives of "sangham.net" and the virtual Vihara here or support the frame for it.

Objectives (most in relation with the first):
Nibbana - not the world
open - not excluded
independent - not depended
discovering - not covering
exposing - not hiding
accessible - not nonaccessible
supportive - not obstructive
exemplary - not imitative
concomitantly - not authoritarian
circulating - not pocketing
welcoming - not exclusive
uniting - not separative
simple - not luxurious

maybe inspiring in addition:

Zitat
Recollecting the Sangha

"At any time when a disciple of the noble ones is recollecting the Sangha, his mind is not overcome with passion, not overcome with aversion, not overcome with delusion. His mind heads straight, based on the Sangha. And when the mind is headed straight, the disciple of the noble ones gains a sense of the goal, gains a sense of the Dhamma, gains joy connected with the Dhamma. In one who is joyful, rapture arises. In one who is rapturous, the body grows calm. One whose body is calmed experiences ease. In one at ease, the mind becomes concentrated."

— AN 11.12

"When you recollect the Sangha, monks, any fear, terror, or horripilation you may have will be abandoned."

— SN 11.3

Liebe Dhamma - Vinaya Freunde,


sangham.net "Virtual Dhamma Vinaya Vihara" ist derzeit ein Laienprojekt und der Versuch ein virtuelles Vihara (ein Kloster, das zur Abhaltung von Vinayaverfahren geeignet ist) zu errichten und in späterer Folge der klösterlichen Sangha zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Neben dieser vielleicht spezielleren Absicht, dient das Forum allen an Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha interessierten als eine ungezwungener Platz zu praktizieren, sich austauschen und die Lehren zu studieren. Bei alle dem liegt er Fokus aber weniger darin etwas großartiges äusserliches zu gestalten, sondern in der Unterstützung in der Praxis.

Zur generellen Idee des virtuellen Viharas, finden Sie als Anlage ein "generelles Konzept", welches wie alles hier zur freien Verfügung und Weiterverwednung zur Verfügung steht. (die englische enthaltene Übersetzung ist noch sehr mangelhaft)

Bitte in keiner Art und Weise das Einbringen, Kritisieren und Mitarbeiten scheuen!

Mögen diese Arbeiten hier immer stets frei von starken Veruntrübungen sein.

Viel mudita
Johann



Ausrichtung von sangham.net

Ich dachte, es sei vielleicht gut die generellen Eigenschaften anzuführen, um die Ausrichtung dieser Gemeinschaft und des Projektes so objectiv wie möglich zu beschreiben. Diese Sammlung mag vielleicht für alles im Zusammenhang mit der Arbeit hier nützlich sein:

Ich versuche auch stets das Gegenteil, was es nicht als Ausrichtung haben sollte, anzuführen, um die Bedeutung besser zu beschreiben.
Bitte fühlen sie sich eingeladen die Ausrichtung weiter zu entwickeln und diese zu besprechen. Bitte fügen Sie bedeutende Ausrichtungen hinzu, wenn welche fehlen. Es wäre schön hier eine kurze Vorstellung der Ausrichtung von "sangham.net" und dem virtuellen Vihara entwickeln könnten oder hier für einen Rahmen.

Ausrichtung (die meisten im Zusammenhang mit der Einleitenden):
Nibbana - nicht Welt
offen - nicht ausgrenzend
unabhängig - nicht abhängig
aufdeckend - nicht verdeckend
freilegend - nicht versteckend
zugänglich - nicht unzugänglich
unterstützend - nicht versperrend
vorbildlich - nicht nachahmend
begleitend - nicht autoritär
ausgebend - nicht einsteckend
einladend - nicht ausschließend
einend - nicht trennend
einfach - nicht verschwenderisch

Zitat
Sich die Sangha in den Gedanken rufen

 Zu einer Zeit aber, wenn der Schüler der Noblen der Sangha gedenkt, da ist sein Geist weder von Gier umsponnen, noch von Haß und Verblendung umsponnen; und angesichts der Sangha ist sein Geist zu solcher Zeit recht gerichtet. Recht gerichteten Geistes aber,  gewinnt der Schüler der Noblen Begeisterung für das Ziel, Begeisterung für die Lehre, gewinnt er Freude an der Lehre. Im Freudigen aber erhebt sich Verzückung; verzückten Geistes beruhigt sich das Innere; im Inneren beruhigt, empfindet er Glück, und des Glücklichen Geist sammelt sich.

AN 11.12

Denn wenn ihr an die Gemeinde denkt, ihr Bhikkhus, wird Angst oder Zittern oder Hautschaudern, das euch befällt, schwinden.

Sarana International Buddhist Center (SIBC), In Tukwila, Washington is truly international. Its altar includes Buddha statues and paintings from Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Burma, and India. One of the resident monks, Venerable Pra Mahamuni Lim Sovann, and many of those who attend the large gatherings at the temple near Sea-Tac airport are Cambodian. But, the abbot, Bhante Polwatte Pagnananda hails from Sri Lanka. SIBC, which was established in 1998, is open to anyone who wants to learn about Buddhism or practice Buddhist meditation. Regular religious services are held every Sunday morning starting at 9 a.m.

There are meditation and Yoga classes every Wednesday 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. A new vipassana hall was opened in March of 2005, and the Northwest Vipassana Society conducts all-day workshops from 8:00 a.m to 4:30 p.m. on the last Saturday of every month. The annual vassa (rainy season retreat) for monks lasts for three months, beginning on July 24 and continuing through October.

The retreat period ends on October 30, 2005 with the colorful Kathina ceremony during which lay supporters offer new robes, flowers, food, and other donations to the monks. All are welcome to take part in these ceremonies.

Sarana\\\'s Abbot, Bhante Polwatte Pagnananda, entered the order of bhikkus in 1965 in Sri Lanka under the patronage of Venerable Mullegama Seelananda and Labugama Lankananda Maha Thero, and received his higher ordination in 1974 from Akurana Pannaransi Maha Thero, the Sanghanayake (leader) of the Raigama Korale (Siamese sect-Kotte chapter). He received his early education from Paravahera Pagnnananda Maha Thero at Dharmaduta Buddhist Seminary in Colombo, and later studied at Vidyaratana Affiliated University Parivena. In 1977 he completed the GCE Advanced Level Examination, in 1981 the First Examination of the Pracina Panditha degree, and in 1983 received a Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Kelaniya. He was active in various religious and social activities in the Horana area from 1986 to 1994, and was eventually appointment as the chief incumbent of the Boddalgoda Sri Devarakshita Temple.

In 1996 Bhante Pagnananda was invited to come to the United States on a Dhammaduta (missionary) mission by a devoted Sri Lankan physician in New York. He stayed at the Maitri Viharan in Los Angeles and the came to Seattle in 1977. He was determined to establish a Theravada Buddhist center, and the next year founded the Sarana International Buddhist Center in Tukwila with the generous support of Buddhist devotees from different ethnic groups. The Sarana International Buddhist Center is located at 15241 . 51st Ave South in Tukwila, just northeast of Sea-Tac Airport.

Welcoming diversity, the practice of Zen is available to people of every race, religion, nationality, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical ability.

ZEN
Zen Wisdom is thought to be the most refined spiritual possession of Asia, with its origin in India, its development in China, and its practical application in Japan. Wherever there is poetic action, a religious aspiration, a heroic thought, there is Zen. Zen is direct- goes straight to the point- requires no mediator. It is the greatest gift the Orient can make to the Occident.

ZAZEN: Formal Zen meditation.
Meditation has been said to occupy in Buddhism the place of prayer in other religious. In a sense this is true- except that Zen meditation is not prayer, makes no assumptions at all about God, and has been practiced by adherents of many major religions.

Zen meditation is not a dreamy reverie. Nor does it seek to apply the mind to any formulated problems of philosophy, ethics, or theology. Rather, the object of meditation is to force the participant beyond the sphere where words can be used, into the realm of immediacy where Ultimate Truth can be realized.

To put it simply, Zen meditation is to be approached as an end in itself. Greater Wisdom is not its aim but is an incidental results. It is extremely practical and penetrates all phases of daily life.

Who can participate?
Anyone who desires to progress in mind, body, and spirit may benefit by attending the Zen center. Among attendants have been practitioners of Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and secular ethical philosophies, as well as other Buddhists. The only requirements are a sincere purpose and a clean body.

Application to life.
The late Reverend Dr. Soyu Matsuoka-roshi said: "Many people have inquired about the life that a Zen person should lead. As you grow in Zen, you will find that you no longer have to think about how to act, or how to live, because the life of Zen will have matured in you, and your actions will be in complete harmony with your inner spirit."

Where to Begin?

1. Study.

2. Reflection.

3. Meditation.

4. Finding spiritual friends.
