Do you want to live 

A blessed life? 

veryone likes to be blessed and live a blessed 

life. In order to be blessed we reach out to 

people or things which we believe to have 

the power to bless us, or we depend on our 

possessions as our blessings. This interpretation 

of ‘blessings’ not only makes us dependent on 

external circumstances but also cause us to ignore 

the consequences of our actions. In other words, 

the view arises that our deeds, good or bad, have 

no effect on our happiness/blessings, as long as 

some higher power blesses us and put things right. 

This common misconception was proven wrong 

when Lord Buddha, explained what blessings are 

in the Maha Maṅgala Sutta. The Lord Buddha 

expounded that blessings are actions you do, and 

their corresponding favourable results, with the 

association of noble friends, culminate in becoming 

an Arahant. 

In last month’s edition of Mahāmegha magazine, 

we discussed 18 blessings in the Mahā Maṅgala 

Sutta, and today we will learn the remaining 20 

blessings explained by the Lord Buddha. But, before 

that, let us recollect what we discussed last month. 

Asevanā ca bālānaṁ - 

Not to associate with the foolish 

Paṅḍitānañ ca sevanā - 

but to associate with the wise 

Pūjā ca pūjanīyānaṁ - 

to honour those worthy of honour 

Patirūpadesavāso ca - 

to live in a suitable locality 

Pubbe ca katapuññatā - 

to have performed meritorious actions in the past 

Attasammāpaṇīdhi ca - 

to set oneself in the right direction 

Bāhusaccañca - well educated in noble Dhamma 

Sippañca - knowledge of the arts and sciences 

Vinayo ca - well-grounded in the discipline 

Susikkhito - listening to advice, and training 

according to the Dhamma 

Subhāsitā ca yā vācā - pleasant speech 

Mātāpitū upaṭṭhānaṁ - 

to support one’s father and mother 

Puttadārassa saṅgaho - 

to provide for one’s wife and children 

Anākulā ca kammantā - 

to be engaged in peaceful occupations 

Dānañca - generosity 

Dhammacariyā ca - righteous conduct 

Ñātakānañ ca saṅgaho - to help one's relatives 

Anavajjāni kammāni - to be blameless in actions 

These are 18 things we can do to create our own 

blessings day and night. Now let us learn the rest of 

the blessings explained in the Maha Maṅgala Sutta. 

19). Ārati virati pāpā – to cease and abstain 

from evil 

We are all aware that the verse beginning with 

‘Sabba pāpassa akaranaṁ…’ explain the Dispensation 

of the Buddha, the Buddha-Sāsana, in a nutshell. 

‘Sabba pāpassa akaranaṁ…’ means, ‘to abstain from 

all evil’. There is no place for evil or wrongdoing in 

the teaching of the Lord Buddha. What is wholesome 

and what is not is clearly explained in the noble 

Dhamma. One method of explanation is the Dasa 

Akusala Kamma– the ten unwholesome actions. 

They are as follows: 

Pānātipātā (killing) 

Adinnādānā (taking what is not given) 

Kāmēsu miccācārā (sexual 

misconduct) 

Musāvāda (lying) 

Pisunāvācā (divisive speech) 

Parusāvācā (harsh speech) 

Sampappalāpā (frivolous speech) 

Abhijjā (covetousness; greed for others’ belongings) 

Vyāpāda (ill-will, hatred) 

Miccā Ditthi (wrong view) 

In another instance the most compassionate 

Buddha explained in the Akusala Rāsi Sutta of 

Aṅguttara Nikāya, that the Five Hindrances are 

entirely unwholesome, they should be known as 

masses of wrong. What are Five Hindrances? 

Kāmacchanda: sensual desire 

Vyāpada: feelings of hostility, resentment and 

hatred 

Thīna middha: being lazy and lethargic in practising 

the noble Dhamma 

Uddhacca kukkucca: regret and restlessness of the 

mind 

Vicikicchā: Lack of conviction or trust in the noble 

Dhamma 

Apart from these five unwholesome states, there 

are the evil actions of Ānantariya kamma — 

The five heinous acts that cause rebirth in hell 

immediately after death. Also, breaking the five 

precepts are unwholesome 

actions. Further, 

Ayōnisōmanasikāra, 

contemplating in a way 

which arouses defilements, is 

wrong. Therefore, we must 

first learn of and then abandon 

the unwholesome as taught by 

the Buddha to be blessed in the 

Dispensation of the Lord Buddha. 

20). Majjapānā ca saññamo - to 

abstain from consuming intoxicating 

drinks & drugs 

With the influence of western 

society, liquor has become a must for 

celebrations. To wish someone good luck, 

they open a bottle of Champagne. To wish 

good fortune at a wedding, they make a 

toast and ask everyone at the wedding to 

join in blessing the new couple by drinking. 

This is because the majority of humans are 

unaware that abstaining from consuming 

liquor and other intoxicants is a blessing to one's 

life. 

21). Appamādo ca dhammesu - to be diligent 

in practising the Dhamma 

Lord Buddha expounds in Anamatagga Saṁyutta 

that this saṁsaric journey is tormenting and that 

we have suffered immensely in it. And when we 

see someone suffering a great deal, Lord Buddha 

advised us to think, I too have suffered like this in 

many births in saṁsāra, and prolonged existence in 

saṁsāra would only bring about similar discomfort. 

Thinking thus helps us become diligent in practising 

the Dhamma. We often hear people say, "I would 

love to practice Dhamma, but I have no leisure 

time." They say so because they are oblivious to the 

danger of wandering in saṁsāra. The Buddha said 

one must hasten to realise the Dhamma just like one 

whose hair is on fire would hasten to put it out. So, 

let us make the blessing of Appamādo ca dhammesu 

close to our lives. 

22). Gāravo ca - paying reverence to those 

who are worthy of reverence. 

Who are the people worthy of reverence? Elders, 

parents, teachers and other virtuous people. It is 

a shame that in present-day society respecting 

elders is often neglected. Buddha preached that a 

person who does not pay reverence to those who 

are worthy of reverence shall after death be reborn 

in a bad destination, if instead, he/she is reborn 

as a human, he/she shall be reborn in a low caste. 

Further Buddha stated a person who is respectful 

of ones worthy of respect he/she shall fare on to a 

heavenly abode and if instead, he/she is reborn as a 

human, it shall be in high caste family. 

23). Nivāto ca – humility 

Being obedient to wise words and pleasant 

speech. Earlier we learned that pleasant speech 

means the Dhamma. Listening and being obedient 

to wise words and noble Dhamma without engaging 

in baseless arguments is a blessing that many do not 

possess, yet we should bear in mind that humility is 

an essential quality to progress in Dhamma. 

24). Santuṭṭhī ca – contentment 

Being content with what you have is a blessing. 

Life becomes easy and happy when we learn to be 

TO page 21...

21 


From page 20... 

Maha Mañgala Sutta .... 

content with what we have. The world we live in 

tempts us with new things every day. This year 

there is a new phone that happens to be the best, 

and next year there is another, which, surprisingly, 

happens to be the best. If in this way we give in 

to our endless desires, turning like a squirrel on a 

wheel, we would have no time to practice Dhamma 

or to spend with family. When we have fewer 

needs, we have more time and the peace of mind to 

practice the Dhamma. 

25). Kataññutā - gratitude 

Lord Buddha once said grateful people are rare 

in the world. So, if you want to be an exceptional 

person, show gratitude; be a person who is thankful 

and recollects others’ help. Most people aspire to be 

unique and recognised, just as film stars, sportsmen, 

scientists, etc. But if you become a person with 

gratitude, then you possess a quality praised by 

the Buddha. Isn’t that a higher recognition than 

anything in the world? 

26). Kālena dhammasavanaṁ - timely 

hearing of the Dhamma 

What is the proper time to hear noble Dhamma? 

Is it when you have finished all your work? When 

you are free of responsibilities and obligations? 

When you have peace of mind? Once you have sort 

out the problems, you are dealing with right now? 

In fact, the best time to hear the Dhamma is now 

because even if we live for 100 years, we shall not 

be able to find an ideal situation for listening to the 

Dhamma. No matter how we feel, we must listen to 

the Dhamma, irrespective of whether we are happy, 

troubled, angry, or sad because Dhamma has the 

power to heal us, to calm us and make us understand 

because it addresses the root cause of all our 

problems — the defiled state of our mind. Therefore, 

if we listen to Dhamma often, we shall be fortunate 

to be blessed with Kālena Dhamma Savanaṁ. 

27). Khantī ca – patience 

The Lord Buddha preached that patience is the 

greatest of virtues. What do we have to endure 

with patience? Heat, cold, hunger, thirst, physical 

suffering, harsh words, etc. Patience helps us 

develop many wholesome qualities essential for 

spiritual development, such as loving-kindness, 

compassion and mindfulness. Further, if we lose 

patience, we may say or do things we might later 

regret. Therefore, being patient is a true blessing for 

an avid practitioner of the Dhamma. 

28). Sovacassatā – obedience 

When we are patient, it paves the way for 

obedience. If a child obeys parents and elders, he 

will succeed in life. Likewise, if we, the disciples 

of Buddha are obedient to his wise words — the 

Dhamma — we shall be successful in this life and in 

the afterlife. 

29). Samaṇānañca dassanaṁ - meeting 

venerable monks 

Meeting venerable monks gives us the 

opportunity to hear the Dhamma. Sunīta was born in 

the untouchable caste in India during the time of the 

Buddha, and his job was to clean the toilets of rich 

people. He had to ring a bell to notify of his presence 

so that others could get out of his way because 

he was an outcast carrying buckets of human 

excrement and smelled foul and dirty. One day, 

Sunīta seeing the Buddha coming towards him tried 

to veer off the road to make way, but the Buddha 

came straight to Sunīta and addressed him with 

kind words, asking if he would like to be ordained. 

Bewildered, yet drawn by Buddha’s compassion, 

Sunīta ordained as a monk and practising ardently, 

soon became an Arahant. Later, even Mahā-Brahma 

came to pay homage to great Arahant Sunīta. How 

did Sunīta, the untouchable, the outcast, become a 

person worthy of such reverence? It is because he 

met the greatest Samaṇa, the Lord Buddha. Today, 

we have the noble Dhamma explained to us by the 

venerable Saṅgha. If we wish to live a blessed life, 

we should meet the venerable monks and learn 

noble Dhamma. 

30). Kālena dhammasākacchā - timely 

discussions on the Dhamma 

A diligent practitioner should meet venerable 

monks time and again to resolve problems he 

might have about virtue, samādhi, or any other 

aspect of the practice, and to obtain clarification 

and guidance through timely discussions on the 

Dhamma. 

31). Tapo ca – suppressing evil 

Practising the Noble Eightfold Path leads 

to suppressing evil and thus abandoning the 

unwholesome and developing the wholesome 

through the gradual development of virtue, 

concentration and wisdom. As pious disciples of 

Buddha, we should strive to suppress evil and purify 

our mind of defilements. 

32). Brahmacariyañca – chastity 

A layperson who possesses all the Blessings 

we have discussed so far is suitable to leave the 

household life and join the order of Sangha. Then 

his/her life is blessed with brahmacariya: refraining 

from all types of sexual activities and being 

committed to practising the Noble Eightfold Path. 

Even lay people observe the precept of abstaining 

from sexual activities on Poya days. If you still have 

not made this blessing a part of your life, you must 

hasten to do so. 

33). Ariyasaccānadassanaṁ - understanding 

the Noble Truths 

There is no greater blessing than realising the 

Four Noble Truths. Once a person realises the Four 

Noble Truths completely, he becomes an Arahant, 

a fully enlightened being. From here onwards the 

blessings explained are of the life of an enlightened 

one. 

34). Nibbāṇasacchikiriyā ca - the realisation 

of Nibbāna 

This is the fulfilment of the third Noble Truth, 

realising Nibbāna. What is Nibbāna? The Lord 

Buddha said the abolishing of desire is Nibbāna. Only 

a Buddha reveals Nibbāna and the path to Nibbāna. 

35). Phuṭṭhassa lokadhammehi, Cittaṁ 

yassa na kampati – The mind that is not 

touched by the ups and downs of life 

There are eight worldly conditions we 

face in life: gain-loss, fame-defame, praiseblame, 

happiness-pain. While arahants are unmoved 

by these worldly conditions, our minds are quickly 

overwhelmed by these. Thus, what a blessing it must 

be to have a mind unruffled by the ups and downs of 

life. 

36). Asokaṁ - the mind that is free from 

sorrow 

We hardly spend an entire day without being sad 

or without having an incident that invokes sorrow 

in us. As long as we have defilements, even our 

happiness is not without its defects. We do not know 

what it would be like to be free from sorrow, but it is 

the wish of all beings. 

37). Virajaṁ - taintless 

Not having any defilement is called virajaṁ. 

As said before, many of our actions are based on 

defilements stemming from greed, hatred and 

delusion. It is not our fault rather it is the nature of 

our existence. Our failure is not making use of the 

rare opportunity we have gotten to rid ourselves of 

these defilements or taints. 

38). Khemaṁ - fearless 

An Arahant's mind is fearless. Whereas we can 

be scared easily, this is because we harbour the 

fetter of self-view which give rise to a feeling of 

insecurity that cannot be subdued. According to the 

Dhamma preached by the Buddha the mind that 

has not realised the Noble Truths is in complete 

and utter darkness, just like a place without the sun 

or the moon or stars. Which means we do not see 

things for what they really are; we are living in a 

hallucination, and this state of existence in saṁsāra 

is fearsome for someone who has not realised the 

Four Noble Truths as he is not safe from being 

reborn in the hell worlds. Therefore, we should 

abide by the teachings of Buddha to free ourselves 

from this predicament. 

These are the 38 supreme blessings expounded 

by the Lord Buddha. Let us try to remember the 

meanings of each of these blessing and be diligent in 

developing our practice in the noble Dhamma. Let 

us try to be blessed with these true blessings which 

lead us to Ariyasaccānadassanaṁ — Seeing and 

realising the Four Noble Truths.
