OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIBERATION

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. **This Dhamma session follows on from the "Living by the Dhamma" — Dhammavihari Suttas (AN 5.73-74) — https://bit.ly/3S3SgMb In this Dhamma session, we examine the opportunities (or bases) for liberation that can come from hearing a teaching from a teacher, teaching the Dhamma to others in detail, reciting the Dhamma in detail, contemplating the Dhamma and penetrating well with wisdom a certain basis for concentration. We underpin this teaching linking to foundations for the spiritual faculty of wisdom to arise - wisdom produced by hearing or learning (sutamayī paññā), wisdom produced by thought (cintāmayī paññā) and wisdom produced by development (bhāvanāmayī paññā) - which comes from developing right view This teaching from the Buddha may help to clarify some of the misconceptions around how we practise and realise noble attainment, and encourage and inspire us in how we approach this spiritual life. We deep dive into each opportunity and take examples from the time of the Buddha, as well as, in some instances examine how we can directly apply ourselves to make spiritual progress.
