My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Bhaddekerata Sutta.
“To develop an auspicious day, remain present with your life as your life occurs. Do not chase the past or project your thoughts to the future.

"The well-focused Dhamma practitioner will perfect the well-taught Eightfold Path of wisdom as an expert garland-maker perfects their floral designs…"

My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion continue our structured study of the Dhammapada. The class chapter is the Cittavagga.
The Cittavagga reveals the suffering that follows from a mind rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths and the peaceful mind developed through the Eightfold Path.
"The mind, fickle, unsteady, difficult to restrain. Even so, the disciple straightens the mind like a skilled fletcher straightens an arrow..."

My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is from the Dhammapada. The first chapter is the Yamakavagga.
The Yamakavagga teaches the importance of developing the Heartwood of the Dhamma – the Eightfold Path. It is the Eightfold Path that establishes the refined mindfulness necessary to develop a profound Right View.

My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Rahogata Sutta. In the Rahogata Sutta, the Buddha teaches that feelings of pleasure, pain, or ambivalence, when perceived through a mind rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths will fabricate what is experienced in a way that reaffirms ignorance and continues stress.
“Excellent question, my friend, excellent question! I have spoken of these three feelings of pleasure, pain, and neither pleasure or pain. I have also stated that whatever feeling arises, they are all stressful. I have stated this in connection to fabrications. Fabrications are impermanent. It is the nature of fabrications to arise and pass away, to change. It is in connection to fabrications that I stated that whatever feeling arises, they are all stressful..” (Look For Class 24 linked below)

My Saturday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Akankha Sutta. Here Buddha addresses the assembled sangha on the wish to be helpful to others. He teaches that having a mind inclined to compassion and wisdom is noble. The Buddha also teaches that developing awakening within The Eightfold Path carries responsibilities of behavior and Dhamma practice.
“If your wish is to be held dear by your sangha, to be respected and inspiring to them, listen closely to my words. If your wish is that the gifts you receive be of benefit for all, listen closely to my words. If your wish is that thoughts of you bring benefit to all, listen closely to my words....” (Look For Class 23 linked below)

The goggles I am wearing are Irisvision low-vision aid that helps with macular degeneration and other eye diseases.
My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is first of two classes on common Hindrances To Awakening. This talk is on the Avarana Sutta. The Buddha taught that to develop Jhana – a well-concentrated mind – mindfulness of five specific hindrances is imperative to recognize and on them. It is the concentration developed in Jhana meditation that can then support the refined mindfulness necessary to integrate and develop the Eightfold Path as the framework for Dhamma practice.
- These common hindrances to awakening can not be wished away or ritually dismissed.
- These hindrances are not to be "validated" or analyzed as to origin or blame.
- These hindrances cannot be ignored.
- These common hindrances can be calmly recognized and abandoned throughJhana and a complete and pure Dhamma practcie.
“In order to abandon these five hindrances, the wise Dhamma practitioner should develop the Four Foundations Of Mindfulness, the Four Frames Of Reference...” (Look For Class 21-1 linked below))

My Saturday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Phena Sutta. In this sutta, the Buddha teaches the emptiness of The Five Clinging Aggregates and the emptiness of creating self-identities by clinging to fleeting objects, events, views, and ideas
“In the same way any practitioner well-versed in the Dhamma observes and appropriately examines any feeling that is past, future, or present, any feeling that is internal or external, obvious or subtle, common or extraordinary, near or far. To those well-versed in the Dhamma, it would appear empty, void, without substance. For what substance could there be in feelings (that are constantly changing)...” (Class 18)

My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on establishing independence from the people and events of human life. The Dhamma reveals the confusion and suffering that arises in dependence on the magical belief in interdependence, interconnectedness, inter-being, and any fabricated view that clings individual human beings to objects, events, views, and ideas that contradict human reality and contradicts Four Noble Truths.
“All of human life is anicca, impermanent, and uncertain. Life in the phenomenal world is ultimately unsatisfactory, dukkha, due to life’s inescapable qualities of impermanence and uncertainty....” (Class 17)

My Saturday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Anatta Lakkhna Sutta. The Anatta-Lakkhana Sutta explains how a wrong view of self arises and how the interrelationship between this wrong view of self within an ever-changing environment results in ongoing suffering.
“Bhikkhus, form is not-self. Were form self, then this form would not lead to suffering, and one could have it be any form desired, and be stress-free. Since form is not-self it leads to suffering and none can have it be any form desired and be stress-free...”

As we return to Cross River Meditation Center my Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Loka and Ratana Suttas. The Buddha’s Dhamma provides a direct and gentle refuge from a world aflame with passion.
“The world is aflame. Rooted in ignorance the world is afflicted by sensory contact and perceives suffering as ‘self.’ Rooted in ignorance, it misunderstands ‘self’ and becomes anything other than ‘self.’...” (Loka Sutta)
“As woodland groves in the early heat of summer are crowned with blossoming flowers, so is the sublime Dhamma leading to the calm and peace of nirvana…” (Ratana Sutta)

My Tuesday live-streamed Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Samadhanaga Sutta. Siddhartha Gotama, having mastered these fabricated common meditation techniques, he immediately dismissed them as they “do not lead to disenchantment, to dispassion, to cessation, to stilling, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, or to unbinding.
“Friends, I will teach you Five-Factored Noble Concentration. Listen and pay close attention.”
“And what is Five-Factored Noble Concentration?”
“A follower of the Noble Eightfold Path is quite secluded from sensuality and other unskillful mental qualities. They enter and remain in the First Jhana. This First Jhana is experienced as rapture, born of that very seclusion. It is accompanied by directed thought and evaluation. The joy of seclusion permeates their entire mind and body...”

My Saturday live-streamed Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Tissa Sutta. The Buddha teaches Tissa to frame his uneasy and troubling mind-states through the Eightfold Path. In doing so, Tissa avoids further dictation from self-indulgence and gains profound understanding and useful insight into the Three Marks of Existence.
“Tissa, a monk in the Sangha was distressed. He told a group of Sangha members, ‘Friends, I feel lost and uninspired. My mind is cloudy and overwhelmed. I am lethargic. I find this life unsatisfying. I am uncertain about the Dhamma’..” (Local Knowledge - Uncommon Dhama Week 8 )

In the Agantuka Sutta, the Buddha uses the metaphor of a common residence to show that the Eightfold Path is a true refuge for anyone seeking to develop a profound understanding of the nature of stress and suffering, gain insight into the Three Marks of Existence, and abandon all views rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths.
“Friends, I will teach the value of developing direct knowledge and profound wisdom. Listen carefully...”
