This is a recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on July 20, 2019. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

 

My Saturday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is from the Therigatha. The Therigatha preserves 73 poems of elder nuns and is the ninth section in the Khuddaka Nikāya. Here, Upacala teaches how she has overcome suffering by establishing refined mindfulness and gaining insight into impermanence, not-self, and suffering through developing to its culmination the Eightfold Path.

“Insight into the Three Marks is known, I have done what must be done.
Craving has ended, darkness overcome...”  (Theragatha 7:3)
