HOW DID BUDDHA REACT TO A PROSTITUTE? (Buddha and Ananda Story) (Buddha and Ananda Story)

[@CleverMonkeyArt]

I recall hearing a story about a group of monks (I forget if they were Christian, Buddhist or what) who were traveling from one monastery to another. They marched in a single file line. When they came to a river they started crossing it one by one. There was a woman standing on the bank who needed to get across but could not do it on her own. Monks being monks they knew better and pretended not to see her. But the second to last monk took pity on her and let her ride on his back until they got to the other side, after which he set her down and he continued. The very last monk was increasingly angry and finally spoke up: "How dare you break your vow by carrying that woman across the river!" The second to last monk replied: "I set her down after we got across but you are still carrying her."

I always liked this one. most prostitutes didn't choose that route in life, its often more an act of desperation to survive. she was able to choose to be a monk, choose to take control and go on a brighter path; and they did not judge her for it.

[@narayanathota4318]

It is the purifying power of true saints like Ananda.But today there are not too many Anandas around us to purify the prostitutes (prostitutes not in that restricted sense as in the story)among us. The effect is the sorry state of affairs of our present society in each and every country of the world. May be a little less here and a little more there.

[@thisulwickramarachchi2380]

There's another Buddhist story where one monk with meditative pyshic attainment of divine eye surpassing the human eye saw a female ghost suffering as a ghost & he went to the buddha to ask him what actions led that woman being born as ghost.... The Buddha replied that 2 lives ago she was a prostitute & due to her bad actions after death she was born in hell suffered there for a long time.. & then later on she escaped from hell & was born as a ghost to pay the excess karma of being a prostitute 2 lives ago... In Buddhist pov its not about judging which matters it's whether or not u change....

[@narayanathota4318]

@@MrCmon113 Rightly said. But then I also said the same. I would like to use the word in the broader sense. Prostitutes,then or now, sell their bodies to earn their livelihood. For almost all of them it is the last resort. A few in the present day high society practise it to enable them to live a lavish lifestyle and some for sensual pleasure. But many among are prostitutes of a different kind. We sell our integrity, morality and use unscrupulous means and exploit people to earn megabucks. It is these who cause greater damage to the society ana the country We need many many Anandas to purify this segment.

Christianity is not about wisdom. It's about not being able to go anywhere near a Holy God with your sinful nature. But God being so good that He paid the price for you to get a NEW HEART by dying on a cross for you.

Prostitution is a non-issue for the Buddha. Not that he condoned it, but that Buddhism is non judgmental like most other religions. There are no good or bad people, no "sin." Only skillful and unskillful actions. In every situation there's always a skillful or unskillful choice of action. And each yields a corresponding effect (karma). One couldn't say that prostitution is an unskillful choice -- it could be in some cases, but not always -- as the person could be forced into the situation by life circumstances (extreme poverty, human trafficking, etc).

[@SBCBears]

If Buddhism were non-judgemental, monks and nuns would not be expelled for breaking rules, would they? Buddha reminds us not to associate with fools. Certainly judgement is involved.

[@winterpurple4587]

@@SBCBears expelled from monastery not expelled from Buddhism. You are not asked nor forced to join a monastery. It's your free will. Now live up to the responsibilities. It's your choice; your decision. Just like any other job. If you can't, leave. But by no means is that expulsion from Buddhism. Why would you join a monastery and then deliberately not follow their rules? It's work, it's a job. Albeit not secular job, but job nonetheless. Stay at home if you can't do the job. By all means you're free to continue your personal Buddhist practice by yourself.

[@mikolajochocki2810]

It's also important to remember the different branches of Buddhism. Buddha gave different teacings to different people with different abilities. For some (such as in teravada Buddhism), sex is seen as something to be avoided, whereas in many parts of Vajrayana, sex is highest gift and completely clean

[@scraggybear]

I agree the Buddha taught different practices but from my own understanding of dharma they all lead to the same goal of detachment. You are probably thinking of the other teaching that the actions of a pure detached mind are always pure. It has nothing to do with sex as far as I know. One according to mahayana can even kill out of selflessness or compassion (skillful means) but these actions are from my understanding reserved for either advanced practitioners or enlightened persons.

@@scraggybear Well, not all branches of Buddhism lead towards the same goal. Teravada leads towards liberation, whereas mahayana and vajrayana lead towards full enlightenment. What I'm trying to say is that in Teravada, you're mainly concerned with what things you shouldn't do, so that you don't cause karmic connections which may cause suffering in the future. So sex could be complicated at times, which may cause suffering in the future. However, in many parts of Vajrayana, sex is even adviced, seen as completely pure, joyful, blissfull
