Session 1 BB Spring 2019 Retreat - Bahiya Sutta, Introduction To Retreat, Nagara Sutta

Greetings Friends, This is a recording of the first session of our 2019 Becoming Buddha Immersion In The Dhamma Spring Retreat on May 16, 2019.

Our retreat begins with the Bahiya Sutta and the simple teaching from the Buddha to an impatient Bahiya on recognizing and abandoning fabricated views of self rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths. The Nagara Sutta is the second talk in this introductory session. The Nagara Sutta is a most significant sutta as it is the Buddha’s description of his internal process of awakening and serves to frame and inform his entire Dhamma.

This talk includes an introduction to our retreat, including the purpose of retreats that are focused on the Buddha’s Dhamma, a thirty-minute meditation session, and Sangha Q&A and discussion.
