ကုိယ္ ေတြ႔ႀကဳံဖူးတဲ့ မွတ္တမ္း


 

ကုိယ္ ေတြ႔ႀကဳံဖူးခဲ့တဲ့ မွတ္တမ္း


မနက္ေစာေစာ အလင္းေရာင္က စာေရးသူရဲ႕ စိတ္ကူးေနတဲ့ အာရုံေပၚကုိ ခစားဝင္ေရာက္လ်က္... ဟုိတေန႔က ႏုိင္ငံျခားေနရတဲ့ အေတြ႔အၾကဳံ တစ္ခု ရလုိက္ပါတယ္။ အဲဒါနဲ႔ စာေရးသူ အေနျဖင့္ ကုိလံဘုိျမဳိ႕က အေတြ႔အၾကဳံေလးကုိ တင္ျပခ်င္ပါတယ္။ 

အဲဒါက ဘာလဲဆုိေတာ့ ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔စာအုပ္ အသစ္လုပ္ရင္ ငါးႏွစ္ သက္တမ္းရျပီဆုိတာနဲ႔ ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔ အေဟာင္းေလးကေန အသစ္ေျပာင္းဖုိ႔အတြက္ သက္ဆုိင္ရာ ေက်ာင္း နာယကေတြဆီက လုိအပ္တဲ့ စာရြက္စာတမ္းေတြ ေတာင္းျပီး ျဖည့္သင့္တဲ့ စာမ်ားကုိ ျဖည့္စြက္ကာ စာေရးသူတုိ႔ ေနေသာ ေနရာႏွင့္ သိပ္မေဝးေသာ ျမန္မာသံရုံးကုိ တကၠစီ ကားေလးျဖင့္ ေရာက္ခဲ့ပါတယ္။

စာေရးသူလည္း ျမန္မာသံရုံးကိုေရာက္ၿပီး သံရုံးဧည့္ခန္းမွာ  ေခတၱ ထုိင္ေနကာ ပတ္စ္ပို႕ အသစ္လာလုပ္ေၾကာင္း အေၾကာင္းၾကားလုိက္ပါတယ္။  ျဖစ္ခ်င္ေတာ့ အဲဒီေန႕က ပတ္စ္ပို႕ပုံမွန္လဲတဲ့ လူေတြကို အၿမဲလုပ္ေပးေနၾက ၀န္ထမ္း အန္တီႀကီး ခြင့္ယူထားတာ သိရပါတယ္။

ဒါေပမဲ့ ေကာင္တာမွာရွိတဲ့ ေဒသခန္႕၀န္ထမ္းရဲ႕ အေၾကာင္းၾကားေပးမႈေၾကာင့္ ျမန္မာသံရုံးကုိ ေရာက္ျပီး သိပ္မၾကာခင္မွာပဲ စာေရးသူ ထုိင္ေနေသာ ဧည့္ခန္းဘက္သုိ႔ အရပ္ ရွည္ရွည္ႏွင့္ လူလတ္ပုိင္း ဒါကာမၾကီး တစ္ေယာက္ ေျခလွမ္း ၾကဲၾကဲႏွင့္ သြတ္လက္စြာ ေရာက္ရွိလာပါတယ္။ ဒါကာမၾကီးက သံရုံး ရုိးရုိးဝန္ထမ္း တစ္ဦးလုိ႔ စာေရးသူ အေနနဲ႔ ထင္မိပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ့ စာေရးသူ ထင္တဲ့ ရုိးရုိး ဝန္ထမ္း မဟုတ္ပါ။

စာေရးသူ အေနနဲ႕ ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔ အေဟာင္းမွ အသစ္ ေျပာင္းရန္အတြက္ အေတြ႔အၾကဳံကလည္း မရွိေတာ့ ဘာလုပ္လုိ႔ ဘာကုိင္ရမွန္း မသိေအာင္ ျဖစ္မိပါတယ္။ ဒါနဲ႔ စာေရးသူလည္း ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔ ႏွင့္ လုိအပ္သည့္ စာရြက္စာတမ္းမ်ားကုိ  ခုနက ေရာက္လာေသာ ဒါကာမၾကီးအား အကူညီေတာင္းျပီး စာေရးသူက ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔ႏွင့္ ဖုိင္စာရြက္ေလးမ်ား လွမ္းေပးလုိက္ျပီး လုိအပ္တာေလးမ်ား ေျပာေပးပါဦးလုိ႔ ေျပာလုိက္ပါတယ္။ ဒါကာမၾကီးက ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔ႏွင့္ ျဖည့္စြက္ၿပီး စာဖုိင္မ်ားကုိ ေသေသခ်ာခ်ာ ၾကည့္ျပီး စာေရးသူကုိ လုိအပ္တာေတြကုိ အေသးစိတ္အားျဖင့္ ရွင္းျပေပးပါတယ္။ စာေရးသူလည္း ဒါကာမၾကီး ရွင္းျပခ်က္ေတြကုိ ေသခ်ာနားေထာင္ေနၿပီး လိုအပ္တာေလးမ်ားထပ္မံျဖည့္စြက္ရန္ မွတ္သားလိုက္ပါတယ္..။

အခ်ိန္အားျဖင့္ နာရီဝက္ ဝန္းက်င္ေလာက္ၾကာေအာင္ ရွင္းျပျပီးေနာက္ စာေရးသူလည္း လုိအပ္သည့္ အခ်က္အလက္ မ်ားနွင့္ စာမ်ားကုိ ထပ္မံျဖည့္စြက္လုိက္ပါသည္။ လိုအပ္သည္မ်ားထပ္မံျဖည့္စြက္ျပီးေသာအခါ ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔ႏွင့္ ဆုိင္ရာ စာရြက္စာတမ္းမ်ားအား ေသေသခ်ာခ်ာ ရွင္းျပေပးေသာ ဒါကာမၾကီးထံ ေပးအပ္လုိက္ပါသည္။ 
ထုိ႔အျပင္ မပင္မပန္း ရွင္းျပေနေသာ သံရုံးက အမည္မသိ ဒါကာမၾကီးကုိလည္း ေက်းဇူး အထူးတင္ပါေၾကာင္း ေျပာၾကားလုိက္ေတာ့ ျပဳံးရႊင္စြာျဖင့္ ျပန္ျပီးေျပာပါတယ္။ ျပီးေတာ့ သံရုံး ဝန္ထမ္း ဒါကာမၾကီးကလည္း စာေရးသူ၏ ပတ္စ္ပုိ႔ႏွင့္ စာရြက္စာတမ္း ဖုိင္မ်ားကုိ ယူကာ ဧည့္ခန္းမမွ ျပန္လည္ထြက္ခြာသြားပါတယ္။

Internet as a source of information for Academic purpose with special reference to Buddhist Studies (part One)



Internet as a source of information for Academic purpose with special reference to Buddhist Studies (part One)



The purpose of this research is to explore the information source available on the internet for the Academic destination which helps the successful completion of research on Buddhist Studies and life-long learning.
         
In the world of today information plays a vital role in the field of research and day to day life. All resources related to research have increased dramatically over the last several years with reference to the demands of the information and the technology. Developments in the system of computer technology provide the means for the production and storage of ideas, thoughts, research, methodological research and experiments in digital form.
         
Among the available information channels the internet has become a popular resource and it is increasingly used as an alternative to printed resources. The book production process has been changed and largely digitized. Nowadays, readers heavily depend on e-versions. The dissemination of information through this medium has three main advantages over publication in the traditional manner, as cost, speed, and ease of access. Other advantages of an electronic medium include keyword searching and the use of multimedia and hypertext formats. The Library professionals have identified the new trend and started to acquire the e-resources to cater to their patrons effectively.

Nature of Internet
         
The internet is a global system of computer networks. It began in the late 1960s. It is becoming increasingly widespread. The Internet contains a wealth of information on a variety of subjects and it allows rapid transfers of data, messages, documents, sound, and images. The Internet consists of huge information as an encyclopedia of whole branches of universal knowledge. The volume of information you will find on the internet is amazing. Mostly sources on the Internet are often more up-to-date than sources in paper format. Sometimes, user has ever wondered at the information available on the net in many different perspectives on a single topic. It is visible that some particular topics or key words on internet are enriching with accurate, applicable, and informative information while some are overwhelming with inapplicable information. The reason for that is anyone can publish anything on the internet without considering their capabilities or code of ethics. Hence user must assess the validity of the information available on the internet.

Why people use the Internet?

There are number of reason such as:

To find general information
To find information for a particular subject
To conduct surveys
To conduct research
To correspond with far away friends (e.g. e-mail)
To meet people, virtually (e.g. facebook)
To discuss their interests with cyber friends (e.g. chatting)
To have fun (e.g. games)
To learn (e.g. online courses)
To read the news
To find software (e.g. virus guard)
To buy and sell things

Information seeking via the Internet
         
Proliferation of information resources coupled with a lack of Internet skills leads some users into difficulties when attempting to search and retrieve useful information. But the Internet is an attractive medium for seeking and obtaining information, for the following reasons:
The Internet is accessible throughout the day.
The end-user (reader) does not have to visit a library.
It is possible to find and obtain information relatively, quickly and conveniently.
The end-user can choose between saving, printing or reading information from the computer screen.

          One of the great things about the internet is that it puts information at finger tips, but it is not easy to access information which user need and available elsewhere. The Internet provides access to unlimited sources of information and search engines are continuously being upgraded to provide efficient way to help users to find what they want.

Internet usage for Academic purpose
         
Obtaining and handling information efficiently is one of great importance to Academics to do a research proficiently. Researchers follow different ways and means to obtain and handle information efficiently. To success this process mostly they get help from libraries and computers. Now computers have become an integral part of the lives of scholars and researchers. Especially Computers with internet connection have changed the information seeking behavior of Academics in advance.
         
Internet is an information source which is used as a vehicle for higher education, to seek information by Academics. It has become an integral element of Academic research and study. Internet has radically changed the global availability of scholarly publications. Today, a substantial part of the resources accessible for researchers and university students are offered through electronic sites and supply of easily obtainable information larger than ever. It is open twenty-four hours of the day and communication can be carried on at all hours without considering the distance. Modern today, internet is very much popular as an excellent research tool.
         
The most important form of education is the exchange of ideas and opinions between students and lecturers, and among researchers. Internet makes a great contribution to success of this process. It enriches with more scholarly information generated by Academics. Further it can be found that there are a number of digitization projects of historical, primary documents on the Web, many of them sponsored by Academic institutions.
         
Sometimes, a large amount of information is available but it does not have systematic editing or expert review of web-published material. Academic user must be aware of this and need to critically analyze the retrieved information before applying it in any way, in particular for research or any other Academic purpose.
         
Academic can locate “scholarly information” on the Web through the followings and the facilities available under those sites are listed.

Payasi Rajannya Sutta



Kumara Kassapa, accompanied by an assembly of five hundred Bhikkhus, came to the town of Setavvya in Kosala. At that time Prince Payasi was residing in Setavvya. The Prince had such a wrong Philosophic view : There is no other world; no beings arise again after death, there are no consequenceness f good or bad deads.
Prince Payasi visited Venerable Kumara Kassapa and maintained before him the philosophic view he had adhered to for so long. He told him about all the experiments he had done so far. He had asked some friends of his at their death-bed, to come back and tell him the news of the other world, but none of them had ever come back to tell him about it.
Venerable Kumara Kassapa explained to him, by means of several similes, that this world does exist, that the other called Paraloka, and the fruits of one’s good and evil actions also exist. At least Prince Payasi admitted his error and accepted the discipleship of the Bhikkhus. After death, Payasi was born among the heavenly beings known as the Maharajaka of the Four Quarters.

Mahasatipatthãna Sutta


While the Buddha was sojourning through the market town known as Kammãsa dhamma, in the Kuru country, he addressed the Bhikkhus thus, "Bhikkhus, this is the one and only way for the purification (of the minds) of beings, for overcoming sorrow and lamentation, for the complete destruction of (physical) pain and (mental) distress, for attainment of the noble (ariya) Magga, and for the realization of Nibbãna. That (only way) is the practice of the four methods of steadfast Mindfulness (Satipatthãna)."
These four Methods of steadfast Mindfulness are the contemplation of the body, contemplation of feeling (sensation), contemplation of the mind, and contemplation of the Dhamma, with constant awareness.
Kãyãnupassanã (awareness of the Body) : Here the Bhikkhu should either go to a forest, or beneath a tree, or to an empty, solitary place and then sit cross-legged, keeping the body erect, and the mind alert and awake. With constant awareness he inhales and with constant awareness he exhales. This process is called Anãpãna-Sati.
Again he should be fully aware when he is walking, sitting down, and standing up. Whatever position he is in, he should be constantly aware of it, as it is.
Again he should constantly be aware when he advances. He should be aware when he looks straight or sideways. He should be fully aware when he contracts or straightens his arms and legs. He should be constantly aware while defecating and urinating. In walking, standing up, sitting down, lying, awakening from sleep, in talking, in keeping silent, and doing such things, he should be fully aware of what he is doing.
