Topic:
Beliefs, Doubts, and the 7 Steps to Awakening
There are various anthropological, psychological and evolutionary arguments for the ‘opiate of the masses’ – religion. Are supernatural beliefs a route to security? Are we pre-programmed DNA machines?
My answer, who cares what you believe. Beliefs have little to do with it. One of the straightforward maps in Buddhism is the 7 factors of Enlightenment, which take you far beyond simple psychology.
This particular element of Buddhism puts mindfulness into a wider context.

Hello Pandit Bhikku,
This is Deborah asking if you have a resource for learning to write the Sutra Nipata I.8 (Metta Sutta) in Pali language script. I have the transliteration and translation. I need a clear sample of the text in the original written form. Is that in Siddham script?
If you have a document or site to send me to, I appreciate your help.
Thank you and see you late July.
Deborah
