This is a recording of our Tuesday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on October 29,  2019. The live-stream begins every Tuesday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.

This Tuesday’s class is class 17 of 32 classes of our structured study of vipassana - introspective insight into Anicca, Anatta, and Dukkha. Past talks are linked below.

My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Vajira Sutta. This sutta describes I-making and impermanence. Mara represents the conditioned grasping-after constant self-establishment of a mind conflicted by its own ignorance.

“For it is only stress that arises (from ignorance of Four Noble Truths), stress arising and passing away. Nothing but stress arises from ignorance. Nothing ceases but stress…” (Vajira Sutta)
