Wings To Awakening - Sambodhi Sutta October 25 2018

This is a live stream and recording of our Thursday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on October 25, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.

My Thursday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Sambodhi Sutta. In this sutta,  the Buddha teaches the importance of admirable friends and other requirements in supporting self-awakening.

“For when one understands impermanence, clinging to anatta, to not-self, is abandoned. Understanding not-self uproots conceit. Unbinding arises in this moment.” (Sambodhi Sutta)

Each Thursday class will have a twenty-minute Shamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
