Ashin Sarana explains the theory of human's origin (in this world era) in the way it can be learned from the Aggañña Sutta (DN 27, suttacentral.net/dn27/en/sujato ). Although Brahmas are not mentioned as the first beings on earth, radiant beings are. Their bodies are supposed to be very subtle and their level of mental defilements very low.
However, please, read an interesting interpretation of Aggañña Sutta in the paper "Devolution and Evolution in the Aggañña Sutta" by Suwanda H.J. Sugunasiri, University of Toronto, Ontario, in Canadian Journal of Buddhist Studies, Number Nine, 2013, which explores any possibility that the Buddha's teachings in Aggañña Sutta could describe origins of humans as a process of biological evolution.

May all beings be happy and healthy!

Ashin Sarana Phayar , Please kindly explain the 24 Patthana in detail in English because I also wold like my friends to taste the real core of Dhamma. It is very delicate and very difficult to understand. Please !!

Patthana is very long, the monk’s might not be able to present the Dhamma’s all in a few hour’s or week’s! It takes time, patience and understanding to fully grasp it. Like you said it’s very delicate and complex. And anyone who have the merits to read or listen to it and understand it will gain a lot of knowledge to unlock Nature. The Dhamma is Nature, Nature is God. In Buddhism the Triple-Gems is listed in the rightful order. 1) The Buddha 2) The Dhamma and 3) The Sangka or Sangha

I'm glad you did not quote a commentary made by a popular and learned Burmese monk who wrote Buddha was strolling on Bakka Brahma's eye brow so that he would not be vissible to the Brahma. This phrase became so popular among Burmese that it became a famous phrase to depict something more cunning when two competitors challenged each other. The reason why Bakka could not see the Buddha was not mentioned in the text. Thus commentators chose their own explanation. Some just mentioned Buddha was more powerful than Bakka. Some thinks Bakka being a brahma had access to all the 31 realms of existence and the Buddha must have disappeared by contemplating himself into Nibanna where no lay person or even Brahma can have access to Nibanna, which is more likely I think. Any suggestion Bhante Sarana,

Sayadaw, there is a hypothesis called the Silurian hypothesis. We can't truly know there was a civilization in pre-historic times when modern humans haven't evolved. I'm also sure that Ma-nu-sa (လူ) didn't only mean Homo sapiens (modern humans). Ma-nu-sa means any species that dominate a planet and can build civilizations. So there may be ma-nu-sa before dinosaurs.

To attain NIRVAN one must be a human ?

@keithken2828 3 жыл бұрын

Exactly!.....Human, Angels and God Brahma in the top four dimensions can attain Nippean. Those top four Brahma Heaven are the highest, they have no material form. They only have 3 to 7 animal sensations ( animal sensation is referred to as feeling’s that exists inside us, they are the driving force that stop all being from attaining salvation. Hope this makes it a little more clearer! Everything is in the Buddha Tripitaka scripture (The Three Doctrines or formally known as Baskets)

No this is not true. Only humans can become a Buddha. All beings except those in deprived existence can attain Nibbana.
