Existence of Aryans Today
Most of highly reputed Bhikkhu, today, argue this topic, "Whether Aryans do exists?".
Who are the Aryans? Aryans are those who have attained one of the four stages of Arya Magga (the path to Nirvana). These four stages are Sovan Phalaya, Sakurdagami Palaya, Anagami Palaya and Arhath Palaya. To attain first step of the Magga, a meditator should obtain Samadhi in his/her mind. He should reach dyana 1,2,3 and 4. (Some Buddhist scholars argue that attain Dyana is not necessary). After having attained mindfulness (dyana), one can prohceed to Vidarshana as the Buddha described. The way of Vidarshana is in Satipattana Suthra which is the only way to attain Nibbana. He/she who follows the four sections correctly, the Kayanupassana, the Cittanupassana, the Dhammanupassana and the Vedananupassana as described in the Sathpattana Suthra, he/she definitely attains Nibbana in the same Bhawa or the present Athma. However, many followers of Buddhism under the name of the Dhamma do not understand this truth. Since they do not understand the Path, they believe that there are no Aryans today. If one pretends to be that he has attained one of the four stagess to get some benefits, such a person should be condemned according to the Dhamma. This writer is from Sri Lanka. Many Bikkhus and normal followers in this island have reached to this ultimate goal and however, they do not boast about their success. If Aryans are not in the world today, the Damma is not Akalika. Akalika means for ever, for the past, for the present and for the future. If Damma is Akalika, the followers will also attain Sovan Phala, Sakudhagami Phala, Anagami Phala and ultimately Nibbana.

Famous quotes containing the words existence and/or today:
“I am afraid that old women are more skeptical in their most secret heart of hearts than any man: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profundity is to them merely a veil over this “truth,” a most welcome veil over a pudendum—and so a matter of decency and modesty, and nothing else.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“We have today and I could call their name
Who know exactly what is out of joint
To make their verse and their excuses lame.
They’ve tried to grasp with too much social fact
Too large a situation.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
