now added
the mangala and ratana suttas are from the 5th Nikaya
I appreciate your compilation of these Suttas. May your study of the Dhamma bring you to a place of non-regression in your search for Enlightenment!
Hello ,Brother Joe, hope you are happy and well too,
Personally I added Four reflections from SN for my daily practice .
( Reflection on Milk,Bones,Tears, Blood) as follows :
what are the purposes ?
Once you reflected it " regularly, learn it by heart , its become automatic", without much effort it appears and flows naturally such as :
With this final reflection on blood, another reflection will follows up naturally,reflection on Sutta Saṁyutta Nikāya 56.11, part Noble Truth of suffering.Dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ
(Now this is the noble truth of suffering.Rebirth is suffering; old age is suffering; illness is suffering; death is suffering; association with the disliked is suffering; separation from the liked is suffering; not getting what you wish for is suffering. In brief, the five grasping aggregates are suffering. )
As long as i am still wandering in Samsara, i will keep encountering this… so ( insert name) what are the reason for your wandering ??,( drinking milk,shedding bones,tears blood, as bearer pancakhandas (saṅkhittena pañcupādānakkhandhā dukkhā. A bearer of burden ( SN 22.2)
what are the reason ? its because of Tanha-- (dukkhasamudayaṁ ariyasaccaṁ)?kāmataṇhā, bhavataṇhā, vibhavataṇhā.
Buddha declared , this endless Dukkha can be stopped (dukkhanirodhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ)
How its can be stopped ? (dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā ariyasaccaṁ—)
with -practising-cultivation of the Noble Eightfolds path.
(Ariyo Aṭṭhaṅgiko Maggo).
Thus
I shall be ardent, put in more energy, efforts, diligent in my practice.
It is unwise for me to be negligence,!!!
Highly recommended , for those sick with Samsara.
Hope this will be helpful.

Hi Quetzalcoat
if you could put a space before the second quote for Bones, then we could click on it and go straight to the sutta.
thanks
