Buddhakos Foundation Foundation of Buddhists who are firm and true to the Buddha’s words. It began with a small group of Buddhists who had the opportunity to hear the dhamma talks of Venerable Ajahn Kukrit Sotthibalo who emphasizes the Buddhawajana (the teachings and disciplines by the Buddha’s own words –Dhammavinaya, proclaimed by the Buddha to be complete and pure in context and letters) in his teachings, truly reflecting how dhammas are to be taught according to the disciplines of Buddhism addressed by the Tathagata to the first sixty Arahant disciples at the Deer Park in Isipatana, a common approach strictly followed by all disciples during the Buddha’s time. The Buddhawajana has yielded answers to doubts and clarity to confusions over various dhamma teachings prevailing among Buddhist communities, all arising from one common cause, that is the teaching and learning, to begin with, are not based on the Buddha’s words. With an unwavering respect for the Buddha, the Enlightened One, as the highest master, Ven. Ajahn Kukrit has publicly declared that “I do not have teachings of my own”. Hence, dedicating all his time to serving the Buddha’s course by spreading the Buddhawajana for the firm rooting of the Saddadhamma and the unity of all Buddhists. By returning to the Buddhawajana as in the Buddha’s time, there appears clarity and seamless linkages in knowledge and understanding in the dhamma principles through to the noble paths which are direct and achievable when practiced, with fruit that can be verified by self. As a result, there is an ever-growing number of Buddhists who value the Buddha’s words, creating a “Buddhawajana Stream” - a quiet force that could become a new wave to bring back the rightful way of learning dhamma similar to that in the Buddha’s time. With the growth of the Buddhawajana Stream, Buddhawajana materials, being books or CDs, which are produced and distributed for free to the public have become of shortage because the number of interested public has grown rapidly. Ven. Ajahn Kukrit, however, has strictly followed the Buddhism disciplines drawn directly from the Buddha’s words and spread the Buddhawajana in the most humble way based purely on the resources available through donations of faithful Buddhist followers only, which at times can be limited. Since the obligation in creating a firm rooting for the Saddadhamma does not rest only with the Buddhist Sangha, a group of lay followers who recognize the importance of the Buddhawajana has gathered together for the task of supporting the work of Ven. Ajahn Kukrit in spreading the Buddhawajana. It has led to a decision to register as a lawful foundation to carry out activities in a manner that is transparent and open as well as open to the Buddhist public. For one who sees the importance of the Buddhawajana and wishes to see the firm rooting of the Saddadhamma by way of the Buddha’s words, support can be lent simply by truly adhering to the learning and cultivating dhamma practices of the Buddhawajana. In doing so, one shall experience for self the noble paths as taught in the Buddha’s own words, which shall lead to one’s true knowledge in the ever-logical and interconnected dhammas of the Buddha and the realization of the fruit and the development of a faith in the spreading of the Buddha’s words. Such is already sufficient for one to contribute as a unit of the “Buddhakos”. This is the objective of the Buddhakos Foundation, that is to be the foundation of Buddhists who are firm and true to the Buddha’s words.
