Suttas 2 - The Gradual Training
2009-08-06 Suttas 2 - The Gradual Training 56:34
Ajahn Sucitto
A reading of Sutta extracts that describe the step-by-step instructions of the Buddha. 1) Vin. Mahavagga (on Yassa); 2) DN 2 – Sāmmaññaphala Sutta; 3) MN 53 – Sekha Sutta; and, 4) MN 125 – The Grade of the Tamed. There are similarities across the lists. They refer not so much to ‘do this’ and ‘do that’ kind of lists, but describe a process of cause and effect: do this and allow that, dwell in that, and this will take you to the next step. It is subtler than steps of a technique.
