| 9/27/25 |  DEVELOPING AN UNBLEMISHED MIND | Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.This is the Dhamma session on "Developing an Unblemished Mind", which was was conducted via zoom. We deep-dive into Venerable Sāriputta and Venerable MahāMoggallāna’s teaching in the Anaṅgaṇa Sutta (MN 5). In this teaching, Venerable Sāriputta spoke of four persons - with and without blemishes and knowing it and not knowing it - explaining which were called inferior and superior using a simile of a bronze dish. He then gives a masterclass on evil, unwholesome wishes associated with anger and bitterness as blemishes, with some powerful similes to help us understand how to develop an unblemished mind.And Venerable MahāMoggallāna contributes as the questioner to Venerable Sāriputta's clarifier in this teaching, as well as providing a comprehensive summary at the end rejoicing in Venerable Sāriputta's instruction to the bhikkhus.Blessings of the Triple Gem.

This session was conducted via zoom on 18 August 2025.Whether we find ourselves heading towards the next world war, or getting into physical fights, or an online battle infused with hate speech, or even verbal sparring with colleagues, friends or family, or simply the war that goes on in our mind, the Buddha has the antidote for all wars. In this session, we will look at what war means in the context of the Buddha's teachings, the challenges of getting pulled into different kinds of wars (in body, speech and mind), and explore the Buddha's antidote for all wars, which starts with the supramundane practice of loving kindness based on the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8).Blessings of the Triple Gem.

| 7/24/25 |  WHY WE SHOULD BECOME SKILLED IN THE WAYS OF OUR OWN MIND | Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series PodcastThis is the Dhamma talk with Metta Centre (SYD) on "Why we should become skilled in the ways of our own mind". This session was conducted via zoom. Drawing from the Sacitta Sutta (AN 10.51), we will examine the Buddha's teaching on how to become skilled in the ways or nature of our own mind. The Buddha taught to train our minds as if our clothes or head were on fire. Through this, and another simile, he highlighted the benefit of regular self-examination towards abandoning unskilled states and developing skilled states of the mind. In this session, we will explore how we can apply this powerful teaching, which helps us to establish contemplation of the mind, undertake noble washing and activate the noble eightfold path.Blessings of the Triple Gem.

| 3/26/23 |  Guided meditation — CULTIVATING LOVING KINDNESS (livestreamed) | Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.We live streamed this Dhamma session on our YouTube channel on 25 March 2023 so that we could practise together. This is a GUIDED MEDITATION on CULTIVATING LOVING KINDNESS based on the insight pathway from the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8).By developing the 10 skilled states, we abandon the 10 unskilled states. With an understanding of the 1st noble truth of suffering, we are able to develop boundless or immeasurable metta. This is a supramundane practice that can lead to path and fruit of non-return, leaning towards nibbāna.** Please note, this has been recorded as a useful aid, and you are strongly encouraged to learn the meditation and develop it on your own so that the insight pathway is fully activated and you can sharpen your spiritual faculties**The video of this talk has been published to the Sutta Meditation YouTube channel - https://bit.ly/3nnWu71Blessings of the Triple Gem.

| 1/10/23 |  EXTRACT - THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS, FOUR DETERMINATIONS AND FOUR CONCENTRATIONS (EXTRACT from Poya Session) | Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.A short extract from our Full Duruthu Poya Dhamma session (on 6 January 2023) explaining the connection between the Four Noble Truths and having the Four Determinations as taught by the Buddha in the Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140), that lead to the four concentrations.This gives a broader picture of what underpins the verse "One should not neglect wisdom, should preserve Truth, should cultivate relinquishment and should train for peace"The Buddha give very clear and sequential instructions in his teaching to venerable Pukkusāti about - not neglecting wisdom (which means being vigilant in actively developing wisdom), preserving Truth (about Nibbāna), cultivating relinquishment (of all acquisitions), and training for peace (pacification from lust, hatred and delusion). It's important to see the link between having these Determinations based on understanding dukkha, wishing to abandon craving, realising cessation and fully developing the Noble Eightfold Path. And to see how they lead to the four developments and concentrations, inclining towards Nibbāna.In the FULL session, we start to go into the sequential and powerful instructions of the Buddha in the Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140):To watch the full session (video) - https://bit.ly/3Gf539OTo listen to the full session (audio) - https://bit.ly/3XfsqqVThe video of this Extract has also been published to the Sutta Meditation YouTube channel - https://bit.ly/3GvBwZVBlessings of the Triple Gem.
