EXTRACT - DEVELOPING THE THREE KNOWLEDGES (EXTRACT from Poya Session)

Sutta Meditation Series

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

From the request to provide an EXTRACT from the Full Vap Poya Dhamma session (on 9 October 2022) on developing the three knowledges as highlighted in the Dvedhāvitakka Sutta (MN 19). The Buddha's instructions are explained and helpful sutta references are provided.

**Please note - we are examining this teaching from the Buddha with the aspiration for the supramundane development of the Noble Eightfold Path**

With the foundation of higher virtue and higher concentration from developing this sutta meditation, it is possible to train and develop these three knowledges (higher wisdom) that the Buddha refers to:

• — knowledge of the recollection of past lives (pubbenivāsānussatiñāṇā)
• — knowledge of the passing away and reappearance of beings (cutūpapātañāṇā)
• —knowledge of the destruction of the taints (āsavānaṁ khayañāṇā)

It's important to note that the Buddha has included training towards these accomplishments in knowledge are part of the trainee's mode of progress towards Nibbāna.
