Description

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

We live streamed this Dhamma session on our YouTube channel on 22 April 2023

This is one of the Buddha's most powerful teachings to a lay person on how to develop the path that leads to supramundane or noble retirement (nibbāna)

The format for this livestream (Part I) will be:

1. Introduction and overview of the Potaliya Sutta (MN 54) and why this teaching is important
2. Review the Buddha’s initial interaction with Potaliya
3. Highlight the differences in worldly retirement vs Potaliya’s version of retirement vs noble retirement
4. “Deep dive” into the eight things that develop the path leading to noble retirement, including short meditations on each

Some of the suttas covered directly or indirectly in this session:

• — Cūḷaniddesa (PTS 1049, explanation 475)
• — Hārasampātabhūmi (Pe 7)
• — Ādhipateyya Sutta (AN 3.40)
• — Mahācattārīsaka Sutta (MN 117)
• — Duccaritavipāka Sutta (AN 8.40)
