wdYap¾fhka imsreKq Borobudur
bkaÿkSishdfõ fndafrdanqÿ¾'''' in Indonesia….
Borobudur, is a 9th century Mahayana Buddhist temple
in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, as well as the world's
largest Buddhist temple, and also one of the greatest Buddhist
monuments in the world. The temple consists of nine stacked
platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central
dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and
504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72
Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa.
Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra
Dynasty, the temple was designed in Javanese Buddhist
architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult
of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining
Nirvana.
The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha
and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims
begins at the base of the monument and follows a path
around the monument and ascends to the top through three
levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology Kāmadhātu (the world
of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu
(the world of formlessness).
The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive
system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief
panels on the walls and the balustrades. Borobudur has the
largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the
world.
Borobudur has since been preserved through several
restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken
between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and
UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year,
Buddhists in Indonesia celebrates Vesak at the monument,
and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist
attraction.

School Outreach Program
Since the year 1996, CYBA has been actively involved
in giving public talks at the schools and tertiary institutions
20 I fu;a;djf,dalkh I úfYaI fjila l,dmh I 2017
across the island. CYBA reaches out to students studying in
Taiwan. Through lively and humorous talks, we were able to
reach out to our schooling youths.
In this so-called e-generation, the youth are busy with
technology to pursue entertainment, lifestyle and fashion.
The goals of these talks are to establish morality, good
interpersonal interaction skills, concern for others, altruism
and voluntarism in our youths. Our efforts have received
acknowledgements from various schools around the island.
Prison Counseling
From 1991, CYBA has been organizing prison outreach
and counseling on a monthly basis. Monks and nuns living in
the vicinity such institutions are invited to provide care and
counseling for the detainees and inmates. Our efforts have
been warmly received and were given encouraging reviews
from both the prison superintendents and inmates alike.
In the dark confines of the prison, under the gloom of
the overcast hearts, CYBA brings to them the light of Buddha’s
compassion and loving-kindness, radiating and brightening
their lives.
Social Services
Employing ethics, encouraging good cultural and
traditional values as a tool to uplift the mentality of our
youth, CYBA organizes the Chinese Calligraphy and Literature
Competition, Tang Dynasty Poetry & Songs Contest. These
activities are intended as a way to learn while enjoying and
entertaining oneself. They have helped youths with behavioral
problems to progress.
We have organizes blood donation drives & to relief
those under emotional distress, CYBA conducts ceremonies
such as sutra chanting for the victims of the earthquake either
in domestic and foreign. CYBA had also set up the fund raising
for Si-Chuan (China), Haiti and Japan for helping recovering
from earthquake damage.
Concern for the Youths
CYBA has organized more than 50 summer & winter
holiday camps for those studying in tertiary institutions.
Within these camps, the participants were given instructions
in living and leadership skills as well as to inculcate Buddha’s
compassion within their hearts.
International Relations
CYBA is a member of World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth
(WFBY). We try to leaping across international boundaries,
connecting us with the world; we are establishing the bridge
of friendship and goodwill to all. Let loving-kindness and
compassionate spirit extends freely all living in this global
village.
Prospection
In the spirit of Buddha’s Compassion to serve the world;
CYBA has for a long time worked with the youths focusing
on “education” & “re-education” of our society & to correct
social ills. Through the application of Buddha’s wisdom &
compassion in one’s heart & using that to transform the
society into an orderly & peaceful environment.
The future of CYBA is in providing social reform, education
& counseling for all. CYBA is always ready to collaborate with
other organizations to spread peace & harmony in the society
and to transform our world into a Pure land.

In 1991, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero was admitted to
Wolsung. Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero devoted in his self to
Dongguk University, founded by the Jogye Order, to major in
Buddhism at Sungkwansa, with his master till the summer of
Buddhism. On the second year of college, Sung Jin Thero was

spring of 1993.
The first thing Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero did as an
abbot was finding a small place in the town and building a
student union to teach Dharma to students. Then Venerable
Sung Jin Thero worked with a local high school to create a
scholarship named with his mentor’s nom de plume and
started the first Buddhist club at the school.
Later, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero decided to study
English because he felt the need to learn the language to be
able to communicate with the younger generations of the
world and spent a few years in New Zealand and the United
Kingdom.
Afterward, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero practiced
Seon in Baekyangsa Unmoon Seonwon which is one of very
famous meditation monastery for 3 years and later took a
position as a director in Jogyesa, the head temple of the Jogye
Order in Korea.
During Venerable Sung Jin Thero time in Jogyesa, He also
took up a role as a manager for the college student club and the
young adult club and pondered upon how they should reach
out to the younger generations. With the college student club,
they ran a fundraiser and created an international volunteer
group within Jogyesa.

Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero stayed with the young
adults in Jogyesa for seven years and learned the hardships
that today’s younger generations face in everyday life and also
realized that it is monks’ duty to help them find wisdom and
energy within themselves to overcome the hardships.
Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero have been using various
mass media to communicate with more people and to
propagate Dharma. For the past 3 years, Most Venerable Sung
Jin Thero had hosted the faith counselling radio program on
BBS (Buddhism Broadcasting System).
Since March.2016, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero has
lectured easily how to practice and apply Dharma in our daily
life on BBS TV program. The program name is “Happiness
Gongyanggan”. It is a name of a kitchen of a Buddhist
monastery.
Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero believe getting to work
with “Paramita” Youth Association, which was created by
the Jogye Order for the sole purpose of serving the younger
generations was Buddha’s blessing.
Also, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero gained a tremendous
hope and courage for the future of our younger generations of
the world that the members of Sangha and lay people around
the world could come together during 2016 WFBY Convention
under Buddha’s mercy.
Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero currently preparing for
the “Paramita” International Youth Camp in Ulsan Korea for
the first time as an executive director. Most Venerable Sung Jin
Thero determined to devote by himself to the congregation so
that the youth of the world gather around and communicate
with each other regardless of ethnicity and nationality and
coordinate towards a better future through the peaceful mind.
Also, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero wish that the
members of World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth (WFBY) could
collaborate to create an annual international youth volunteer
gathering to help other Buddhist nations in need.
Lastly, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero would like to
emphasize that propagation of Dharma is essential for monks
through a quote in Samyutta Nikaya that he give to newly
ordained monks.
According to the Samyutta Nikaya, “Teach, O bhikkhus,
the Dhamma that is good in the beginning, good in the middle,
good in the end, with the right meaning and phrasing. Reveal
the perfectly complete and purified holy life. There are beings
with little dust in their eyes that are falling away because
they do not hear the Dhamma. There will be those who will
understand the Dhamma.”
The Buddha said:
“Pamojjabahulo Bhikku - Pasanno Buddhasasane
Adhigacche Padam Santam -Sankharupasamam Sukham”
(Bhikku Vaggo - Dhammapadaya)
The Bhikkhu who is full of delight and is pleased in the
Dhamma will realize that blissful State - the happiness that is
born of the cessation of conditioned things.
“Mettavalokanaya”, as the Sri Lankan leading monthly
Buddhist Magazine, wish to Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero
for his brighter future success as a Buddhist High Monk in
the Buddhism. “Sukai Deegauko Bawa” - Live long life full of
health, happiness & success..!!

The Vortex
(Diya Suliya)
A vortex or a whirlpool is formed in a river or in the sea
when a current flowing at high velocity comes against fluid
that is stationary. One can see these in the sea or in any river
that is flowing down. There is visible rotation in the whirlpool
or the vortex. Increase in speed of the current results in
the increasing of centrifugal force and thus suction and the
downward spiral motion of the whirlpool.
In the dependent arising (Patichcha Samupppada) which
is the very foundation of cause & effect explanation, the
consciousness and the name & form (nama & rupa) are said to
lean against each other akin to two bundles of bamboo, each
supporting the other. In the NALA KALAPA Sutta this is well
explained by Arahath Saripuththa. If one bundle is removed
the other one will fall and vice versa. If a person works to find
the path to take off the illustration of the name & form from
the consciousness then that itself is the ultimate liberation or
Nirvana.
What makes the whirlpool? The two, Nama & rupa
with consciousness co-dependent on each other forms the
whirlpool. This is well explained in the last stanza of Jata Sutta.
A god came to see Buddha and asked the following, “Knotted
inside & outside, the worldly are tied in knots. I ask you Buddha
a question, how can the knots be untied?” The Enlightened
One replied,” Steeped in total virtue, of concentration and
mind of wisdom, striving and skilled the Bhikku will unravel
the knot.”
Where the craving, anger and ignorance are no more,
the Arahath cleansed of defiling has untied the knot.” Where
nama & rupa, contact and form-perception are eradicated,
38 I fu;a;djf,dalkh I úfYaI fjila l,dmh I 2017
there the knot is totally untied.” It may be noted that in
explaining what non-illustrated consciousness is, it is stated
that where the name & form does not exist even a trace of
it, the consciousness is non-illustrated (the consciousness of
Arahath).
The name (nama) is explained as feeling, perception,
intention, contact and attention. Rupa is that formed of the
four maha bhutha and is the form-perception. Due to worldly
beings lacking in wisdom, perceives in the four bhuthas and
arising from those four bhuthas perceives form. Thus the form
itself is form-perception (rupa sanna).
To a question by one god as to where the current will
cease, and where will the whirlpool stop rotating and where
will the nama & rupa be not illustrated without a trace the
Enlightened One replied that when the four bhuthas are not
registered there the current will cease to flow and the nama
& rupa no more illustrated.
Thus this samsara itself is this continuum of this cycle of
consciousness and name & form leaning against each other
and going round. In the whirlpool the centrifugal force will
suck in all the debris around it in the water and one will see
churning debris. The whirlpool will not be in the same place
all the time but in motion and may well be seen in a different
place sans the debris originally taken in but with new debris.
It is not the same whirlpool nor is it a different one and the
earlier collected debris will now be just floating while the new
debris is now in the vortex.
In a similar way, the vortex of name & form and
consciousness moves from place to place (neither same
nor different), the time frame of having the debris between
birth & death the lifespan and the continuous going around
the sansara of cycles of birth & death. In each existence the
force of the two will collect the debris of four bhuthas and in
humans & other animals it is this somatic body.
In the dwyathanupassana sutta this is further explained.
www.meththawalokanaya.com
The time span between birth & death is this life. Rotating
between birth and death is the samsara. Being as this and as
that is the nature of ignorance. Having overcome this great
delusion of ignorance and with arising of wisdom they will not
come to birth again (nibbana).
The worldly beings are not aware of this and believe in
the somatic body as the self. Thus the whole life is often spent
on caring for the somatic body. We wash it, paint, decorate,
put in all kinds of dresses and apply all the perfumes and look
after it with great care. Thus we are embedded in this somatic
body and that itself leads to personality view (Sakkaya Ditti).
With passage of time we relentlessly build the personality
view.
A person is neither a lowly nor an exalted being (Wasala
& Brahmin) by birth. At birth our defilements are dormant
and we do not assimilate new until we grow up. However the
unskilled beings with passage of time assimilate defilements
and soil the mind and thus are the Wasalas. However those
who achieve the sublime liberation from all kilesas will neither
have any left and will not assimilate new kilesas. Such are the
liberated Arahaths and Buddha termed them as Brahmins.
We may illustrate our consciousness with good actions
or bad actions. Yet as the Enlightened One said, a mind that
is not leaky or perplexed and where both Punaya and Papa
Karma are eradicated then such person will no longer have the
fear of this continuum of sansara.
However what do the worldly people do all their life? A
drive from Colombo to Kandy will reveal it all. On both sides
of the road are shops full of clothing of all types for men and
women, bakeries and restaurants with all types of food and
drinks, places where the hair is done, dyed or straightened,
places where the skin will be made beautiful and shiny, places
where you will be dressed up by professionals, places where
your body will be shaped to look great, signage and hoardings
telling folks about products that can make one handsome &
beautiful.
But one will not be able to find a place on either side
of the road which says that they will cleanse the defiled
mind of mundane people. We never place any emphasis on
cleansing our defilements barring a very small percentage
of the population. Yet we spend large sums of money and
much of our time cleaning and brightening this collection of
debris, our body. For the slightest body illness we rush to the
nearest doctor or the hospital but will not think of cleansing
our defilements as and when they arise and instead will churn
those in our mindset.
As one Venerable Bhikku in a recent Dhamma discourse
said, that the textile trade will put up the fashions for April
New Year from the beginning of the year and soon after the
April New Year festivities will put up the fashion wear for the
Vesak Month. This was an indication of how much we adorn
this collection of debris which in any case we will leave behind.
How do we put an end to this whirlpool? The aforesaid
does not mean that one must give up caring for this somatic
body. On the contrary should live well, dress well, use the
cosmetics and perfumes, have good home, eat good food
and have other possessions such as motor car and even aero
planes or a yacht. But deep inside the person must realize that
all these are temporary and with that strive all the time to
cleanse our mindset. This can be done while working or doing
business or driving a car or walking along the road etc & how?
Firstly one must start on Mindfulness Meditation to
www.meththawalokanaya.com
bring the ability to have presence of mind. For this the best
meditation technique as I note is breathing meditation. One
need not go to a retreat for this meditation but can practice
while being at home. All one needs is to wake up at least one
hour before the usual time. We must all remember that in
this sansara each one of us would have slept trillions of years
with no positive result. Keeping that in mind (please refer to
Achchara Sanghatha Sutta in Samyuththa Nikaya) we should
attempt to place emphasis on mindfulness meditation to
develop mindfulness.
Mindfulness is the precursor to insight. Possessed
with mindfulness one can progress forward towards insight
(Vipassana). It is all about being in the now and being aware of
what one is doing. It may be working in office or at home, may
be eating food or drinking water, getting dressed up, driving to
work in a motor vehicle or travelling in public transport, taking
a bath or brushing teeth etc. At each moment one must be
mindful and aware of the actions and also of the mind.
Be aware when a thought of hate arise and mindfully be
aware of it ceasing. It can also be thought of craving, delusion,
enmity, anger, desire etc. one must be aware of these arising
and ceasing and not give any value to these thoughts. It
is only when you start giving value these that the thought
process moves forward with ultimate negative results. These
in turn illustrate our consciousness and the name & form and
consciousness continues to lean on each other and keep on
each other as in a whirlpool.
So how does the name & form is together? When there
is a Nama of a nature, of a characteristic, of a sign and of a
topic then that gives to host of words describing the Rupa.
When there is a Rupa of a nature, of a characteristic, of a sign
and of a topic then it gives rise to friction in the Nama. When
of a nature, of a characteristic, of a sign and of a topic there
is Nama & Rupa then there is host of words of description
and ensuing friction. When there is no Nama/Rupa there is no
contact (Passa).
In the stanza on the six touch agencies, the Enlightened
One said the world is formed of the six touch-agencies, the six
are the ones that associate everything, having grasped it all
with the six touch-agencies, the worldly beings lament on the
six touch-agencies. Thus this world is not that the one outside
but of our six touch-agencies.
Meditation and introspection of Dhamma and its
application to one’s life enables that person to slowly and
surely overcome the burden of nama/rupa. In the Maha
Nidhana Sutta Enlightened One has shown how the beings
go in this sansara due to their inability to comprehend this
dependent arising, of nama/rupa and that of nama/rupa and
consciousness. So the path is vividly clear. Go fort and strive to
end this inglorious sansara.
One has broken the cycle, attained freedom from desire.
The dried-up stream no longer flows. The whirlpool broken no
longer turns. This is the end of Dhukka. (Udana 7.62)

Amazing Buddhist Heritage
in Myanmar….
Buddhism in Myanmar is predominantly of
the  Theravada  tradition, practiced by 89% of the country's
population. It is the most religious Buddhist country in terms
of the proportion of monks in the population and proportion
of income spent on religion. Monks, collectively known as
the sangha, are venerated members of Burmese society.
The Shwedagon Pagoda, also known as the Great Dagon
Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda, is a gilded stupa located
in  Yangon,  Myanmar. The 99 meters (tall 325  ft) pagoda is
situated on Singuttara Hill, to the west of Kandawgyi Lake, and
dominates the Yangon skyline.
Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda
in Myanmar, as it is believed to contain relics of the four
previous Buddhas of the present kalpa. These relics include
the staff of  Kakusandha, the water filter of  Koṇāgamana, a
piece of the robe of Kassapa, and eight strands of hair from
the head of Gautama.
Shwedagon Pagoda is covered with hundreds of gold
plates and the top of the stupa is encrusted with 4531
diamonds; the largest of which is a 72 carat diamond. It is
clearly one of the wonders of the religious world. Shwedagon
Pagoda is a repository of the best in Myanmar heritage -
architecture, sculpture and arts. The Shwedagon Pagoda
consists hundreds colorful temples, stupas, and statues that
reflects the architectural era spanning almost a 2,500 years.
To understand this monumental work of art and
architecture, visitors will experience an insider's view of this
magnificent symbol of Buddhism to the lives of the Myanmar
people. Shwedagon Pagoda forms the focus of religious as
well as community activities – the bustling of devotees and
monks washing the statues, offering flowers, worshiping, and
meditating.
The Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda, also called the Golden Rock is
one of Burma’s most sacred Buddhist sites. A massive boulder
on the edge of a cliff with a pagoda on top of it enshrining a
hair of the Buddha is an important pilgrimage site for Burmese
Buddhists.
The huge Golden Rock in the mountains North East of
Yangon hanging over a steep cliff provides for an amazing
sight. The rock that appears to be gold is actually a granite
boulder that is covered with gold leaf applied to the rock by
Buddhist devotees.
The boulder is about 7½ meters high and has a golden
pagoda called the Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda or Kyaik Hti Yo Pagoda on
top of it where the Buddha’s hair relic is enshrined. However,
what an amazing & beautiful country of Myanmar….
