Krzysztof KOSIOR – ‘Noble Silence’ in Early Buddhism


Cena brutto: 7,00 PLN za szt.

According to the Pāli Canon scriptures, keeping silent was a daily practice of the monks from the congregation founded and presided over by Buddha. The article refers to the events and situations in which Buddha and his disciples refrain from speaking. In particular, the attention is focused on two ways of cultivating the so-called ‘noble silence’ (ariya tuṇhibhāva). The first one is characteristic of monks not speaking while staying in a group, while the second is an element of the concentration which determines the progress in meditation, as well as accomplishment of freedom from suffering.

Translated by Dorota Chabrajska
