Growth, not a standstill or deterioration
Manage episode 348874168 series 3269724
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
As we come close to the end of the year, we can take the opportunity to do some self-examination of our spiritual practice, applying the Buddha's teaching from the Ṭhiti Sutta (AN 10.53).
The Buddha states at the opening of the discourse:
"Bhikkhus, I do not praise even a standstill in wholesome qualities, much less decline. I praise only growth in wholesome qualities, not a standstill or deterioration."
And lists seven qualities or characteristics against which to measure whether they have deteriorated, grown, or remain the same. This self-examination can be done regularly, not just at the end of the year (as we are doing here).
