A Good Roof - The Kuta Sutta September 8 2018

This is a live stream and recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on September 8,  2018. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion will be on the  Kuta Sutta. In the Kuta Sutta the Buddha teaches Anathapindika the importance of protecting one’s mind through restraint. Anathapindika was a wealthy businessman and early benefactor of the Buddha and the original Sangha.

“Just as when a house is poorly roofed the house is unprotected. The beams, the walls, the floors, all become soggy. This house is an uncomfortable and disappointing abode…” (Kuta Sutta)

Each Saturday class will have a thirty-minute Shamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
