Maha Mangala Sutta (Life's Highest Blessings) Buddha Chant Pali English

child care near me - The Maha Mangala Sutta presents a poetic yet practical recital of 38 actions Buddha considered to confer the greatest blessings to both givers and recipients. Knowing and understanding this sutta allows us to walk our life's path with confidence; with virtue, mental discipline and wisdom. We should associate with the wise in thought, speech and deed. Our gratitude is due to those who gave us life, care for us, & continue to strengthen our moral & spiritual lives.

• Mangala: Popularly it means lucky sign, omen good or evil, auspicious or inauspicious, or a blessing. In all countries and times there have been superstitions about these things and this is as true of western technological societies (the increasing dependence upon astrology), as it was of India in the Buddha's days. Though people now may not divine auspices from the shapes of cloth nibbled by rats, they have plenty of other signs of fortune and misfortune. For some reason or other, signs of fortune are few now in English tradition and offhand the writer could think of only one: it is lucky to pick up pins. But unlucky signs, and actions to ward off misfortune, are many. For instance, a few years ago a sister in an English hospital insisted that flowers of other colors be mixed in with my mother's red and white carnations - "or we shall have a death in the ward." In Australia in the showbiz world, to whistle in the dressing room before putting on an act will bring misfortune which can only be averted by leaving the room, turning round three times and swearing! Another generally unlucky sign is for a black cat to cross one's path. In Nepal, though, they consider an overturned shoe to be very inauspicious when one is setting out on a journey. And sailors the world over are well known for their attachment to good signs and dread of ill omens. Less specialized examples can be found in crossing one's fingers and in "touching wood" against disaster, and in the practice of throwing salt over the left shoulder (into the Devil's eye) whenever salt is spilt. (Did salt manufactures have anything to do with this?)
• The Glorious Sutta Superstitions and selfish desires weave a pattern of mind which interprets objective and subjective happenings in life as forebodings of personal weal and woe. Thus, if on waking up in the morning, or on the start of a trip, or in the course of a long journey, or the beginning of an enterprise, or during a sacred ceremony, one meets with what is taken to be a sign of good fortune, such as a flower in bloom, a smiling face, good news or even something at first sight offensive but potentially considered good, some people feel assured of success in the subsequent course of events. An autosuggestion like this might be of some use but to place complete reliance on it, neglecting the action necessary for the fulfillment of success, would be too much of wishful thinking, bound to result in frustration or failure. So much importance is attached by some people to such omens of what is supposed to be auspicious that a sort of pseudo-science has grown up playing an undesirable role in the lives of those people by choking their initiative, by sustaining their fears, by suppressing self-confidence and by the promotion of irrational attitudes in them. In the time of the Buddha such a belief was as much in evidence as today, and as he was opposed to anything that fettered the healthy growth of the human mind he raised his voice against such superstitions. He denounced "luck" or "fortune" or "auspiciousness" and proclaimed instead human behavior, associations and activities as the real origins of "fortune" or "misfortune." Thus the emphasis was shifted from unhealthy fears and fettering superstitions to individual responsibility, rational thinking, social obligations and self-confidence. This had far-reaching effects in improving both human relationships and the efficiency of the human mind. In Indian society in the Buddha's time (as in our own), people were addicted to superstitions about omens of good and bad luck besides being divided on their nature and im
• The Mahaa Mangala Sutta is included in that ancient anthology of the Paali Canon called "A Collection of Discourses" (Sutta-nipaata). This work contains a great variety of discourses, some upon basic subjects suitable for lay people, while others which have great depth are addressed to those who practice Dhamma all the time. The Sutta-Nipaata is the fifth item of the Minor Collection (Khuddaka-nikaaya) and is divided into five sections. The Mahaa Mangala Sutta is the fourth sutta of the second of these, called the Lesser Section. The contents of this sutta also appear in the first item of the Minor Collection, known as the Minor Readings (Khuddaka-paatha), called there simply "Mangala Sutta." It is interesting to note that the tenth item of the same collection, the Jaataka (birth stories) which has 547 chapters, each relating a previous life of the Buddha, has as the titles of the 87th and 453rd Jaatakas, the Mangala Jaataka and the Mahaa Mangala Jaataka respectively. These stories, though their contents are different, are interesting supplements to the sutta because the same spirit runs through all these texts. The following table clearly indicates the exact location in the scriptures, of the Mangala Sutta, the Mahaa Mangala Sutta, the Mangala Jaataka and the Mahaa Mangala Jaataka.
• The title "Mahaa Mangala Sutta" has three parts, namely, "Maha," "Mangala" and "Sutta." "Mahaa" means "great," used as a prefix it enlarges and emphasizes the meaning of the word or expression to which it is attached. Thus "Mahaadhana" (great wealth), "Mahaakarunaa" (great compassion), "Mahaapatha" (high road), "Mahaapurisa" (great being), "Mahaaraaja" (great king or emperor). Other examples are Mahaabodhi and Mahaavihaara, etc. The prefix "Mahaa" added to the title of a book or chapter adds weight and importance to the contents. The use of the prefix in this sutta is an indication of its precious worth besides suggesting the recognition of this worth by the arahants who compiled the suttas in the First Council. The component "Mangala" means an "omen," good luck, an auspice, etc. The word also signifies "auspicious ceremony" e.g., "vivaha-mangala.m" (marriage ceremony), "naama karana-mangala" (name-giving ceremony). Such uses of the word are still common in India and reflect the popular and more or less superstitious ideas that the Buddha tried to supplant. The Paali commentators have derived the term "Mangala" from "mam" (woeful condition) and "ga-la" (driving away and cutting off): therefore it means "that which is obstructive to woe." In practice it has the positive significance "conducive to weal." "Mangala," though at times used in a spiritual sense, usually has worldly associations. It generally stands for conditions making for satisfaction, happiness and prosperity. Thus it is the most yearned-for thing in worldly happiness and domestic welfare. No wonder any sign or omen, any mangala believed to point the way to such happiness is eagerly seized upon. When it is so much of a blessing, people will eagerly seek and look for it in physical omens and material signs which they think lead to it.
• Thus have I heard: Once while the Blessed One was staying in the vicinity of Saavatthi, in the Jeta Grove, in Anaathapi.n.dika's monastery, a certain deity, whose surpassing brilliance and beauty illumined the entire Jeta Grove, late one night came to the presence of the Blessed One; having come to him and offered profound salutations he stood on one side and spoke to him reverently in the following verse: I Many deities and human beings Have pondered what are blessings, Which they hope will bring them safety: Declare to them, Sir, the Highest Blessing.
