The Fire Sermon
from Undefended Dharma with Mary Stancavage · host Mary Stancavage
The Buddha's famous teaching, often called The Fire Sermon, is about how easy it is to be caught up in the flames of greed, aversion and ignorance when we don't pay attention. Our senses are easily pulled into stories and reactions that keep us trapped in samsara. Nirvana/Nibbana means cessation as in putting out a flame and as we practice resisting the flames of greed, aversion and ignorance, the result is nibbana. Mary discusses how we are trapped and how we can get free.Recorded August 16, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!
