Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

We continue our Profitable Perceptions Series with Part VII: Perception of not self in what is suffering (dukkhe anattasaññā) explained in the Dutiyasaññā Sutta (AN 7.49).

* Please note this is part of an insight pathway we develop by applying this particular sequence of profitable perceptions from the Buddha. So how we develop the perception of not self in what is suffering is finely tuned to what we have already developed in the earlier profitable perceptions, as well as how it is framed with developing a mind devoid of I-making, mine-making, and conceit regarding this conscious body and all external objects.

Some of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to:

— Rāgapeyyāla (AN 7.615-1124)

— Samādhi-bhāvanā Sutta (SN 22.5)

— Ānanda Sutta (SN 22.159)

— Anusaya Sutta (SN 18.21)

— Apagata Sutta (SN 18.22)

— Ānanda Sutta (AN 3.32)

— Khema Sutta (AN 6.49)

— Petakopadesa (Pe 5, 6, 8)

— Nettipakarana (Ne 21)

— Chachakka Sutta (MN 148)

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

A short extract from the FULL Dhamma live session on "The Buddha's advice on meditation practice for busy people" based on the Mahānāma Sutta (AN 11.11) on 20 July 2024.

This extract is the explanation of the EIGHT DIRECTIONS that makes the Buddha the "unsurpassed trainer of persons to be tamed" or in pali "anuttaro purisadammasārathi".

When we develop these eight directions, we see through the gross and subtle things that we attached to that bind us to suffering. We have learned most of this Dhamma through our sutta meditations in order to train. And by developing in these eight directions, we sharpen our spiritual faculties and would naturally incline towards Nibbana as our goal and Nibbana as our object.
