| | Buddhaghosa History Summary |
| | This probably was the cause of Buddhaghosa's departure from Sri Lanka and the reason he did not complete commentaries on all the canonical texts. | | | Participating in the Buddhist heritage as it neared completion of its first millennium, Buddhaghosa is most acclaimed for providing a commentarial and interpretive structure for the Theravāda tradition. | | | It was against this historical background that Buddhaghosa wrote in Pali the Visuddhimagga (The path of purity), his first literary effort in Sri Lanka. |

| | Buddhaghosa explains that if, in his ignorance, he should, by chance, declare the good to be good, he will be puffed up by the approval of the wise. | | | Buddhaghosa says they made a god appear in the mirror and answer questions put. | | | The fact is all these expressions are technical terms for acts of astrology or sorcery, they none of them occur elsewhere either in Pâli or Sanskrit, and the tradition preserved by Buddhaghosa may be at fault in those cases in which the use of the word had not survived to later times. |

| | Boddhagosa Thera 1 |
| | Because his speech was profound, like that of the Buddha, and because his words spread throughout the world (like those of the Buddha), he came to be called Buddhaghosa. | | | Besides the above mentioned works of Buddhaghosa, we have also the Samantapásádiká and the Kankhávitaraní on the Vinaya Pitaka; the Sumangalavilásiní, the Papañcasúdaní, the Sáratthappakásiní and the Manorathapúraní on the Sutta Pitaka. | | | One day he met a monk, named Revata, and on being defeated by him in controversy, entered the Order to learn the Buddha's teachings. |

| | The Questions of King Milinda (SBE35): Introduction |
| | It follows that the greatest of all Buddhist writers known to us by name regarded the 'Questions of Milinda' as a work of so great authority that an opinion put by its author into the mouth of Nâgasena should be taken as decisive. | | | And this is not only the only book, outside the Pâli Pitakas, which Buddhaghosa defers to in this way, it is the only book, except the previous commentaries, which he is known even to refer to at all. | | | The former of these two was mentioned in a letter to the 'Academy' of the 12th November, 1881. |

| | Beyond the Tipitaka |
| | The Visuddhimagga's emphasis on meditation practices that are scarcely mentioned in the suttas (the kasina meditations) fueled a controversy concerning the relationship between jhana and vipassana that persists to this day. | | | CE, when the Indian monk Buddhaghosa began the laborious task of collating the ancient Sinhala commentaries and translating them into Pali, that these books first became accessible to non-Sinhala speakers around the Buddhist world. | | | Most of these texts were written in Sinhala, the language of Sri Lanka, but because Pali — not Sinhala — was the lingua franca of Theravada, few Buddhist scholars outside Sri Lanka could study them. |

| | The result of this, because Buddhaghosa summarizes the Buddha's teaching and then takes each of his summaries as the original, is that his analysis grows more and more distant from what the Buddha actually taught. | | | The main thrust of Kalupahana's argument is that Buddhaghosa then takes the liberty of redefining these six sub-paths as three: morality, concentration and insight. | | | Kalupahana states that Buddhaghosa explains that there is one goal but apparently several paths. |

| | The ṭīkā writer's first comment on Buddhaghosa's explanation of kusala is to ask why the sense of cheka "skilled" is not given as a sixth meaning. | | | In fact the fourth: "freedom from distress" is rather unusual and seems to be dropped by the later commentarial tradition. | | | Here I shall look first at the commentarial account and then turn to the earlier sources. |

| | Ashin Buddhaghosa points out that the Buddha instructed the bhikkhus to use the Triple Refuge as a formula for ordination.[1] This was soon after the Buddha began teaching, when he sent out the first sixty disciples to teach the Dhamma. | | | Ashin Buddhaghosa says that the first of these qualities (the Dhamma is well taught by the Blessed One) refers to both the Teachings found in the canon and to the supramundane Dhamma. | | | Refuge may be taken by devoting oneself to the Triple Gem, just as a meditator devotes himself to his meditation subject. |

| | In the discourse the Buddha is addressing the bhikkhus but the same dangers exist for laymen as well.[1] The Buddha described in seven vivid images the dangers of a bhikkhu breaking his virtue and, as an unvirtuous man accepting and using the requisites given by laymen. | | | Ashin Buddhaghosa, for example, cites a discourse given by the Buddha on the dangers of immoral actions. | | | The bhikkhu with immaculate virtue gives pleasure and inspires trust in wearing his robes and carrying his bowl. |

| | It should be noted that although this is sometimes described as "passive euthanasia" this is a misnomer, since there is only euthanasia when death is willed directly as a means or an end. | | | Miraculously the monk survived but the basket maker tragically died. | | | The root text and his comments on it are relevant to the contemporary debate on euthanasia, and this paper considers what light Buddhist jurisprudence can shed on this moral dilemma. |
