Freedom From Entanglements The Yasa Sutta September 15 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 15,  2018. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion will be on the Yasa Sutta. The Yasa Sutta shows the importance of dismissing praise, even in very subtle ways, for developing the Dhamma. It also shows how seeking external validation for Dhamma practice will lead to further distraction and confusion

“Nagita, then there are those well-established in seclusion who receives food, clothes, shelter, and recognition from a group. Knowing the benefit of seclusion and restraint no disturbance will arise in them. .”  (Yasa 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.
