THE ATTRIBUTES OF HOUSEHOLD LIFE THAT CAN POISON THE MIND (FULL DHAMMA SESSION, Poya)

Sutta Meditation Series

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. This is the FULL DHAMMA SESSION, conducted on BAK POYA (5 April 2023) via zoom, on "THE ATTRIBUTES OF HOUSEHOLD LIFE THAT CAN POISON THE MIND" We examine the Cūḷadukkhakkhandha Sutta (MN 14) and the Buddha's teaching to Mahānāma the Sakyan on why, despite understanding the Dhamma taught by the Buddha, his mind gets invaded by states of greed, hate, and delusion at times and they remain. In this session, we cover: — Overview of the Cūḷadukkhakkhandha Sutta (MN 14) — Who is Mahānāma the Sakyan? — “Deep dive” into the Buddha’s answer to Mahānāma and the teaching on the gratification and dangers of sensual pleasures — Buddha’s encounter with the Nigaṇṭhas Some of the suttas covered directly or indirectly in this session: — Sekha-patipada Sutta (MN 53) — Paṭhamamahānāma Sutta (AN 11.11) — Mahānāma Suttas (SN 55.21-22) — Chaṭṭhavagga (AN 1.252) — Āneñjasappāya Sutta (MN 106) — Nibbedkika Sutta (AN 6.63) — Kāma Sutta (Snp 4.1) — Bhoga Sutta (AN 5.227) — Haliddakani Sutta (SN 22.3) — Chiggaḷayuga Suttas (SN 56.47-56.48) — Pañcagatipeyyālavagga (SN 56.102-105)
