Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

A short extract from our Full Duruthu Poya Dhamma session (on 6 January 2023) explaining the connection between the Four Noble Truths and having the Four Determinations as taught by the Buddha in the Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140), that lead to the four concentrations.

This gives a broader picture of what underpins the verse "One should not neglect wisdom, should preserve Truth, should cultivate relinquishment and should train for peace"

The Buddha give very clear and sequential instructions in his teaching to venerable Pukkusāti about -

not neglecting wisdom (which means being vigilant in actively developing wisdom),
preserving Truth (about Nibbāna),
cultivating relinquishment (of all acquisitions), and
training for peace (pacification from lust, hatred and delusion).

It's important to see the link between having these Determinations based on understanding dukkha, wishing to abandon craving, realising cessation and fully developing the Noble Eightfold Path. And to see how they lead to the four developments and concentrations, inclining towards Nibbāna.

**A table of "The Four Profitable Directions" as referenced in this extract has been posted to our Telegram channel (https://t.me/suttameditationseries/650)

In the FULL session, we start to go into the sequential and powerful instructions of the Buddha in the Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140):
