Magha Puja 2026. Ovada Patimokkha - A timeless Life Compass | 03 Mar 2026

Описание: " On the occasion of Magha Puja Day, Luang Por Anan encouraged us to recollect the Ovāda Pātimokkha, beginning with refraining from all evil by 'enduring and abstaining' from defilements. In this era where online media and AI technology contribute to shorter attention spans and make it easier for people to be overcome by their emotions, we must cultivate even greater patience and mindfulness so as not to create turmoil or harm others.

The next principle is the fulfilment of wholesome deeds. Goodness does not arise on its own; it must be deliberately 'built' through effort—such as practising generosity and observing the precepts. When carried out, these actions bring about joy and fullness of heart. This state of mind filled with merit and wholesomeness serves to protect the heart, preventing greed, anger, and delusion from infiltrating it.

The final principle is to purify the mind. By frequently recollecting wholesome qualities, the mind gradually becomes purified and wisdom arises. Training to calm and temporarily extinguish defilements is already a form of coolness and peace that can be experienced here and now. The Dhamma of the Buddha is never outdated. When we sincerely commit ourselves to practice, it becomes the supporting condition that will ultimately lead us to the realization of Dhamma. "
