Fire Discourse Clinging To Passion November 30 2017

This is a live stream and recording of our Thursday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on November 30, 2017. The stream begins every Tuesday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.

This is talk and sangha discussion is on The Fire Discourse. This sutta is the third teaching of the Buddha and is considered one of the most important teachings presented during the Buddha’s teaching career.

“And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the intellect, experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain: He grows disenchanted with that too. Disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion, he is fully released. With full release, there is the knowledge, 'Fully released.' He discerns that 'Birth is ended, the holy life fulfilled,”
