Welcome to the Upasika Life webpage.

This is a place to ask questions, post topics and share experiences
related to Dhamma practice. Please consider when entering this
site we are in the presence of the Fourfold-Community (Ordained and
lay men and women alike) of the Abhayagiri Monastery. Just as one
would follow certain modes of behavior when on the monastery land,
so too is it appropriate to conduct oneself here, in the
monastery cyber space, as follows:

Most important is a well-intentioned attitude. Courtesy and respect go
a long way and are the foundation of the etiquette used in both the physical
and cyber worlds of the monastery. Etiquette offers a structure of respect
and friendly support while promoting an atmosphere of harmony and grace.
Please note, before posting a reply or beginning a new topic, our efforts here
should reflect adherence to the Eight Fold Path.

Wisdom (Sanskrit: prajñā, Pāli: paññā)
1. Right understanding
2. Right intention
Ethical conduct (Sanskrit: śīla, Pāli: sīla)
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood
Mental discipline (Sanskrit and Pāli: samādhi)
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration

May the fruits of our wholesome intentions blossom in this very life.
