Santipada

The term akā­lika, ‘time­less’, is one of the most famil­iar in the whole Dhamma. It is recited as part of the daily chant­ing as a fun­da­mental aspect of the Dhamma. And yet its mean­ing is far from clear, and so it has attrac­ted many inter­pret­a­tions. Rather than being a philo­soph­ical notion, it seems that is a call to action: if you prac­tice, you can see the res­ults for yourself.
