The Pali Tradition on the Noble Person Who is a “Body-witness” (kāya-sakkhin), and the Nature of “Witnessing”and the “Body” in the Samādhi States in Which They Excel
This article explores the “body-witness” (kāya-sakkhin), one of the types of person who are “noble ones” (ariyas): people with different levels of enlightenment on the noble path. It begins by examining the types of noble ones and how they differ, to focus on what is particular to the body-witness. This is their emphasis on samādhi, meditative concentration, rather than on faith or wisdom. They are seen to excel in the four meditative absorptions…
The Unfolding Logic of the Pali Anatta-Lakkhaṇa Sutta, and the Issue of Control
This article explores how the phases of the Anatta-lakkhaṇa Sutta relate to each other and to those it is said to have been taught to – ascetics who had just become stream-enterers after being taught the Dhamma-cakka-ppavattana Sutta. It is shown not to be about explicitly teaching that “there is no Self” but about inducing a radical letting go of all things taken as “mine”, “what I am” and “my Self”. As its hearers become arahats, the overcoming…
Buddhist Motivation to Support Ihl, From Concern to Minimise Harms Inflicted by Military Action to Both Those Who Suffer Them and Those Who Inflict Them
This article focuses on how Buddhist ethics contains ideas and principles that would urge those in a combat situation to minimise the harm they do to others, within the requirements of their military goal. This international humanitarian law principle is in line with both compassion for others and a concern to limit the bad karmic results to the combatant of their intentional killing and maiming. The motive for an act of killing can worsen or les…
Reducing Suffering During Conflict
This article stems from a project launched by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 2017 to examine the degree to which Buddhism might complement or enhance international humanitarian law (IHL), also known as ‘the law of war’ or ‘the law of armed conflict’. Given that Buddhist teachings discourage violence, scholarship has critiqued Buddhists’ involvement in armed conflict rather than considered how Buddhism might contribute to r…

Four Jh?nas and their Qualities in the Pali Tradition
A strong strand of the scholarship of Lance Cousins focussed on the jh?nas and related matters, and he was also a practitioner and teacher of samatha meditation, which aims at the jh?nas. In this dual tradition, this paper explores subtle questions about the nature of each jh?na as dealt with in the Pali Nik?yas, Abhidhamma and commentaries. Its aim is to help illuminate what it is like to be in any of these jh?nas: what is going on in them, and …

Problem Gambling and Intimate Partner Violence
This study provides a systematic review of the empirical evidence related to the association between problem gambling and intimate partner violence (IPV). We identified 14 available studies in the systematic search (8 for victimisation only, 4 for perpetration only and 2 for both victimisation and perpetration). Although there were some equivocal findings, we found that most of the available research suggests that there is a significant relations…

Management of Historic Shipwrecks Through a Combination of Significance and Conservation Assessments
Corrosion modelling of decay rates of the iron wrecks in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, has enabled an estimation of the speed at which the historic resource of iron shipwrecks is disappearing. Use of the significance ranking of the iron wrecks, based on the Australian National Standards for significance assessment, provides a useful guide to decision-making, but decisions based solely on these criteria can lead to less than optimal results. From th…
The Nature of the Eight-factored Ariya, Lokuttara Magga in the Suttas Compared to the Pali Commentarial Idea of it as Momentary
It is widely recognized that the key practice of Theravada Buddhism is the 'Noble Eightfold Path' (ariya atthangika magga). While this is sometimes loosely seen as encompassing all Theravada Buddhist practices, the developed tradition, as expressed in the Pali commentaries, sees it as a momentary state, the culmination of prior practice, that glimpses the transcendent Nibbana and is immediately followed by the attainment of 'fruit' consciousnesse…

The Sa?gha of Noble S?vakas, with Particular Reference to their Trainee Member, the Person ‘Practising for the Realization of the Stream-entry-fruit’
All Buddhists go to the Buddha, Dhamma and Sa?gha as the ‘three refuges’, but who exactly are the ‘the eight types of persons’ that are referred to in the standard passage on the nature and qualities of the third refuge? Four of these persons are clearly the stream-enterer, once-returner, non-returner, and Arahat, but who are the others, especially the lowest of them, the one practising for the realization of the stream-entry-fruit? This article …

The Four Ariya-saccas as ‘True Realities for the Spiritually Ennobled’- the Painful, its Origin, its Cessation, and the Way Going to This – Rather than ‘Noble Truths’ Concerning These
This paper critiques the standard translation of ariya-sacca as ‘Noble Truth’ and argues that the term refers to four saccas as ‘true realities’, rather than as verbalised ‘truths’ about these realities; the teachings about them are not, as such what the term ariya-sacca refers to. Moreover, only one of the ariya-saccas (the fourth) is itself ever described in the suttas as ‘noble’. The four are ‘true realities for the spiritually ennobled’: the …
Poverty Reduction Strategies
The links between access to safe water and poverty alleviation are multifaceted, but can be realized only if water supplies are sustained. Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) have been developed by many low-income countries in conjunction with the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and describe each country's macroeconomic, structural and social policies and programmes to promote growth and reduce poverty. An analysis of PRSPs in s…

Environmental sanitation programmes are vital for tackling environmental-related disease and ensuring human dignity in emergency situations. If they are to have maximum impact they must be planned in a rapid but systematic manner. An appropriate planning process comprises five key stages: rapid assessment and priority setting; outline programme design; immediate action; detailed programme design; and implementation.

The mind‐body relationship in Pāli Buddhism
The Suttas indicate physical conditions for success in meditation, and also acceptance of a not‐Self life‐principle (primarily viññana) which is (usually) dependent on the mortal physical body. In the Abhidhamma and commentaries, the physical acts on the mental through the senses and through the ‘basis’ for mind‐organ and mind‐consciousness, which came to be seen as the ‘heart‐basis’. Mind acts on the body through two ‘intimations’: fleeting modu…

"A Response to Damien Keown's "Suicide, Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia
In his article, Keown articulates what I see as a basically valid reading of the implications of the texts of the Pali Canon on the issues at hand. I particularly like his formulation, ‘to deny death and cling to life is wrong, but equally wrong is to deny life and seek death.’ As the aging Arahat Sariputta says in the vv. 1002-03: I do not long for death; I do not long for life; I shall lay down this body attentive and mindful. I do not long for…

Le marche de la terre au Moyen Age
IN 1998 the Laboratoire de médiévistique occidentale de Paris (LAMOP) fixed on four themes for close investigation. One of them was the medieval land market, and this book is the product of successive colloquia on the subject. It consists of articles by twenty-one authors, of whom six have made more than one contribution. Eight are in English, most of them on specifically English topics; the remainder are in French, but these include work on Germ…
