Aggivessana, of this view, if a learned man be there who reflects thus: If I were to express this view of mine:
"All is pleasing to me." and obstinately holding to it and adhering to it, were to say:
"This is indeed the truth, all else is falsehood." - there would be for me dispute with two (view-holders): both with whatever recluse or brahman speaks thus and is of this view: ''All is not pleasing to me." and with whatever recluse or brahman speaks thus and is of this view: "Part is pleasing to me, part is not pleasing to me " - there would be dispute for me with these two. If there is dispute there is contention; if there is contention there is trouble; if there is trouble there is vexation. So he, beholding this dispute and contention and trouble and vexation for himself, gets rid of that very view and does not take up another view. Thus is the getting rid of these views, thus is the casting out of these views.

Teach the Dhamma, O Blessed One:
There will be those who will understand.

Lord Buddha’s Dhamma is universal, extensive and thorough. The Truth is beneficial to all individuals of all manners. Neglect and ignorance bring about misinterpretation of the Lord Buddha’s Dhamma. Dhamma is thus distorted; application and benefits become limited. The Tipitaka is a collection of the words of the Buddha. As such, the Tipitaka provides the most direct means to truly understand the Lord Buddha’s Dhamma.
The Tipitaka also contains many meditation’s techniques as taught by Lord Buddha. All are simple, highly effective and produce actual results to reach state of beings as taught by Lord Buddha. Here are collections of Lord Buddha and his disciples’ teachings directly quoted from the Tipitaka. We hope to establish a source plentiful of meditation tools for all Buddhist devotees.

Develop the (mind-) development that is mindfulness of inbreathing and out-breathing, Rahula. Mindfulness of in-breathing and out-breathing, Rahula, is of great fruit, of great advantage.
And how, Rahula, if mindfulness of in-breathing and out-breathing is developed, how, if it is made much of, is it of great fruit, of great advantage?
