Ven. Maha Moggallana - The Master of Psychic Powers - Great Disciples of the Buddha | Early Buddhism

from Dhammagiri Buddhist Podcasts · host Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage

The Buddha says that every perfectly awakened one has a pair of monk disciples who are the most outstanding among all the several thousand Arahants (completely liberated disciples). The Buddha calls them "the pair of chief disciples, an excellent pair". For our Buddha the pair of chief disciples were Ven. Sariputta and Ven. Mahamoggallana.This is a Dhamma-Talk recollecting the life and the outstanding qualities of the disciple of the Buddha foremost in psychic powers, Ven. Maha Moggallana. The Buddha is teaching about psychic powers not as something mysterious, but as a part of his knowledge of the causality of the Universe and the citta (heart/mind) that he realized at his awakening. He is teaching how to develop them systematucally as part of his gradual training in Virtue, Samadhi (unification of the citta) and Wisdom. To do so one has to gradually develop the citta to a very high level of purity and peace. If you would like to know what your mind is capable of if you train it systematically - then this talk is for you..."The Great Disciples of the Buddha" Series on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbxbuMjfRsvyy3PUJe7FdOInpkw_3R8bu"The Life of the Buddha" Series on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbxbuMjfRsvxKRNGf2OpxFD322oyZzfWk Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/news⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our emailNewsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Latest Photos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://latest-pics.dhammagiri.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our YoutubeChannel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724
