3.1 THE SCENT OF VIRTUE - Dhammapada Verses 54-55 (YOUTH DHAMMA SESSION)

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. Another session to accompany the second module in the Youth Dhamma Gradual Teachings series looking into Buddha's Gradual Instructions to Lay People on VIRTUE (sīlakathaṁ)   In this additional episode, we look at THE SCENT OF VIRTUE and Venerable Ānanda’s question to the Buddha. In Buddha's answer we learn of the supreme fragrance of virtue - how it spreads in all directions.    We can learn a great deal from understanding the Buddha's words on integrity/virtue/ethics, particularly if we want to develop a good reputation, become good change leaders in the world and for people to place their trust in us.    Some of the suttas that are mentioned directly or indirectly in this session:  — Ānandattherapañhavatthu (Dhp 54-55)  — Gandhajāta Sutta (AN 3.79)  — Gahaṭṭhavandanā Sutta (SN 11.18)   If you have any questions or comments regarding this talk, please email them to suttameditationseries[at]gmail.com or leave a voicemail message via anchor.fm A VIDEO of this FULL SESSION with presentation slides has been published to the Sutta Meditation Series YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkna-798iO4 AND on Spotify as a video podcast Blessings of the Triple Gem.
