Neighbors laughed at the innovative building of our small house, but then they were amazed
We built this small house for elderly parents. By design the house is simple and consists of light blocks called autoclaved aerated concrete. The total area of the house is 640 square feet, and the exterior dimensions are 18 by 22 feet.
We built it without loans on a small budget of $17,000. This price included the purchase of the land for $2,000. The total budget did not include the cost of labor because we did all the work ourselves.
ABOUT: We are a happy couple, Hena and Vita. We like to create with our own hands, which is how we find ourselves. We love making videos and try to make them useful. This is how we develop ourselves and continue to build the channel. We have many more DIY projects that we will definitely surprise viewers. If you support family values and love to create with your own hands, welcome to our family "CREATIVE COUPLE."
A sutra for householders: "Dangers"
Ven. Sujato (trans.), "Dangers" (AN 10.92) or (Numbered Discourses 10.92) 10. "With Upāli"), suttacentral.org; edited, expanded, and explained by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly
.
Then the householder Anāthapiṇḍika [Sudatta, the generous multimillionaire donor to the needy who was already a stream enterer] went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat respectfully to one side. The Buddha said:
“Householder, when a noble [Arya = enlightened] disciple has quelled five dangers and threats, has the four factors of stream entry, and has clearly seen and comprehended the noble system with wisdom, that person may, if one wishes, declare of oneself: ‘I’ve made an end of rebirth in hells, the animal realm, and the ghost realm.
“‘I’ve made an end of [all rebirth in] places of loss, unfortunate destinations, subhuman worlds. I am a stream-enterer! I’m no longer liable to be reborn in the downfall and am bound for full awakening.’
The dangers
“What are the five dangers and threats such a person has quelled?
 |
| One can live at home practicing the Path. |
- Anyone who kills living creatures creates dangers and threats both in this present life and in lives to come and experiences mental pain and sadness. Anyone who refrains from killing living creatures creates no dangers and threats either in the present life or in lives to come and doesn’t experience mental pain and sadness. So that danger and threat is quelled for anyone who refrains from killing living creatures.
- Anyone who steals…
- Anyone who engages in sexual misconduct…
- Anyone who lies [engages in wrong speech, which is more than lying]…
- Anyone who consumes beer, wine, liquor, and intoxicants [that occasion heedlessness] creates dangers and threats both in the present life and in lives to come and experiences mental pain and sadness. Anyone who refrains from consuming beer, wine, liquor, and intoxicants creates no dangers and threats either in the present life or in lives to come and avoids experiencing mental pain and sadness. So that danger and threat is quelled for anyone who refrains from consuming beer, wine, liquor, and intoxicants.
The Four Factors of Stream-Entry.
 |
| Why leave household life to practice? No distractions. |
“A noble disciple has experiential confidence [proven conviction, confirmed faith] in the Teacher (the Buddha): ‘This Blessed One is indeed perfected, a supremely enlightened teacher, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, full of integrity, a knower of worlds, a supreme guide for those wishing to train, a teacher of devas and human beings, awakened, blessed.’
“One has experiential confidence in the Teaching (Dharma): ‘The teaching is well explained by the Buddha — apparent here and now in the present life, immediately effective, inviting investigation, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves.’
“One has experiential confidence in the Taught (the Noble Saṅgha, the successfully taught): ‘The Saṅgha of the Buddha’s disciples [the spiritual community of accomplished practitioners, people at the first level of awakening called stream-entry up to full enlightenment or arhatship, which is a category of beings in no way limited to ordained monastics] is practicing the way that is skillful, direct, systematic, and beneficial.
“This community consists of the four pairs, the eight individuals. This is the Saṅgha of the Buddha’s disciples that is worthy of offerings (gifts) dedicated to the devas, worthy of hospitality, worthy of religious donations, worthy of greetings with joined palms (anjali mudra), and serves as the supreme field of merit for the world.’
“And a noble disciple’s virtue and ethical conduct is loved by the noble ones, unbroken, impeccable, spotless, and unmarred, liberating, praised by the wise (sensible people), unmistaken, and leading to absorption (meditative immersion).
“These are the Four Factors of Stream-Entry that one has.
The Enlightening System
 |
| "There's a systematic way to let go and be free," asked Imogen. The Buddha is full of surprises. |
.
“And what is the noble [enlightening] system that one has clearly seen and comprehended with wisdom? A noble disciple reflects:
“‘When this exists, that is; due to the arising of this, that arises. When this does not exist, that is not; due to the cessation of this, that ceases. [This is called knowledge of how all things arise: they are "dependently originated," and here is an explanation of how suffering (dukkha, disappointment, ill, woe) comes to be and how to end it completely.] That is:
- Ignorance is a condition for karmas.
- Karmas (actions) are a condition for consciousness.
- Consciousness is a condition for name and form.
- Name and form are conditions for the six sense fields.
- The six sense fields are conditions for contact.
- Contact is a condition for feeling [sensation].
- Feeling is a condition for craving [lust, thirst, craving].
- Craving is a condition for grasping.
- Grasping is a condition for continued becoming.
- Continued becoming is a condition for rebirth.
- Rebirth is a condition for old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress to come into being.
- That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
[What is Dependent Origination?]
- “When ignorance fades away and ceases without remainder, karmas cease.
- When karmas cease, [the impersonal process of] consciousness ceases.
- When consciousness ceases, name and form cease.
- When name and form cease, the six sense fields cease.
- When the six sense fields cease, contact ceases.
- When contact ceases, feeling ceases.
- When feeling ceases, craving ceases.
- When craving ceases, grasping ceases.
- When grasping ceases, continued rebirth ceases.
- When continued becoming ceases, rebirth ceases.
- When rebirth ceases, old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress cease.
- That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’

“When a noble disciple has quelled five dangers and threats, has the Four Factors of Stream-Entry, and has clearly seen and comprehended the noble cycle with wisdom [Dependent Origination], one may, if one wishes, declare of oneself:
“‘I’ve made an end of [any possibility of] rebirth in hells, the animal realm, and the ghost realm. I’ve made an end of rebirth in all places of loss, unfortunate destinations, subhuman worlds. I am a stream-enterer. I’m no longer liable to be reborn in the downfall and am bound for full awakening.’” Source: suttacentral.net
