Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series PodcastThis is the Dhamma talk with Metta Centre (SYD) on "The Buddha's Antidote for War". This session was conducted via zoom on 18 August 2025.Whether we find ourselves heading towards the next world war, or getting into physical fights, or an online battle infused with hate speech, or even verbal sparring with colleagues, friends or family, or simply the war that goes on in our mind, the Buddha has the antidote for all wars. In this session, we will look at what war means in the context of the Buddha's teachings, the challenges of getting pulled into different kinds of wars (in body, speech and mind), and explore the Buddha's antidote for all wars, which starts with the supramundane practice of loving kindness based on the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8).Blessings of the Triple Gem.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series PodcastThis is the Dhamma talk with Metta Centre (SYD) on "Why we should become skilled in the ways of our own mind". This session was conducted via zoom. Drawing from the Sacitta Sutta (AN 10.51), we will examine the Buddha's teaching on how to become skilled in the ways or nature of our own mind. The Buddha taught to train our minds as if our clothes or head were on fire. Through this, and another simile, he highlighted the benefit of regular self-examination towards abandoning unskilled states and developing skilled states of the mind. In this session, we will explore how we can apply this powerful teaching, which helps us to establish contemplation of the mind, undertake noble washing and activate the noble eightfold path.Blessings of the Triple Gem.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.A short extract or audio clip from a recent Dhamma Half-Day Program, held on 17 March 2025, where we intensely developed sutta meditations to understand the Physical Nutriment (form). This short audio clip serves as an encouragement to anyone developing the insight pathways or sutta meditations following the Buddha's instructions.External challenges are usually obvious, but what is less apparent is how we self-sabotage ourselves when it comes to developing or meditating on the Buddha's instructions.Take what is useful.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.We continue our Profitable Perceptions Series with Part VII: Perception of not self in what is suffering (dukkhe anattasaññā) explained in the Dutiyasaññā Sutta (AN 7.49). * Please note this is part of an insight pathway we develop by applying this particular sequence of profitable perceptions from the Buddha. So how we develop the perception of not self in what is suffering is finely tuned to what we have already developed in the earlier profitable perceptions, as well as how it is framed with developing a mind devoid of I-making, mine-making, and conceit regarding this conscious body and all external objects. Some of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to:— Rāgapeyyāla (AN 7.615-1124)— Samādhi-bhāvanā Sutta (SN 22.5)— Ānanda Sutta (SN 22.159) — Anusaya Sutta (SN 18.21)— Apagata Sutta (SN 18.22)— Ānanda Sutta (AN 3.32) — Khema Sutta (AN 6.49)— Petakopadesa (Pe 5, 6, 8)— Nettipakarana (Ne 21)— Chachakka Sutta (MN 148)The video of this talk has been published to the Sutta Meditation YouTube channel -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1rtNx49G4wBlessings of the Triple Gem.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.A short extract from the FULL Dhamma live session on "The Buddha's advice on meditation practice for busy people" based on the Mahānāma Sutta (AN 11.11) on 20 July 2024.This extract is the explanation of the EIGHT DIRECTIONS that makes the Buddha the "unsurpassed trainer of persons to be tamed" or in pali "anuttaro purisadammasārathi".When we develop these eight directions, we see through the gross and subtle things that we attached to that bind us to suffering. We have learned most of this Dhamma through our sutta meditations in order to train. And by developing in these eight directions, we sharpen our spiritual faculties and would naturally incline towards Nibbana as our goal and Nibbana as our object.For the FULL Dhamma session - https://t.ly/j504j (video) OR https://t.ly/AyXKt (audio)To find the YT Sutta Meditation Series playlists visit: https://www.youtube.com/c/SuttaMeditationSeries/playlists, or click on 'Playlists' in the top menu bar.For all enquiries - suttameditationseries@gmail.comBlessings of the Triple Gem.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.A short extract from the FULL Dhamma session on "The Third Doorway to Nibbana" or Pleasant Practice with Slow Realisation on 5 October 2023.This extract is a brief explanation on the contemplation of mind (cittānupassanā), which is the third establishment of mindfulness as set out by the Buddha in the Mahāsatipaṭṭhāna Sutta (MN 10). The Buddha encouraged us to contemplate the mind as mind. It is fundamentally about understanding our mind states - how they come to arise and how they pass away. We have already learned enough from our sutta meditations to understand how to develop this practice. When we establish mindfulness regarding the mind and insight into the true nature of the mind, we would not cling to the mind.I referred to this Dhamma part in our recent live session on "How to be the best among the best" based on the Sekha-paṭipadā Sutta (MN 53), when we examined the good quality of mindfulness (one of the 15 caranadhamma) in the trainee's path of practice.For the FULL Dhamma session on the Third Doorway to Nibbana - https://tinyurl.com/yu52259m (video) or https://tinyurl.com/yem5zr2c (audio)To find the YT Sutta Meditation Series playlists visit: https://www.youtube.com/c/SuttaMeditationSeries/playlists, or click on 'Playlists' in the top menu bar.For all enquiries - suttameditationseries@gmail.comBlessings of the Triple Gem.
