This is the second week of our 2019 Truth Of Happiness Dhamma Study. My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on establishing Shamatha-Vipassana meditation as the Buddha taught meditation. The Buddha taught Shamatha-Vipassana meditation for the sole purpose of developing Jhana. Jhana means concentration. It is a well-concentrated mind that is able to support the refined mindfulness necessary to integrate the Eightfold Path as the framework for Dhamma practice.

This week’s Dhamma talk is on the Anupada Sutta.  Here the Buddha uses Sariupuutta as an example of developingRight Meditation and profound concentration (Jhana) to end fabricated views one after another. A well-concentrated mind is necessary to recognize and abandon all fabricated views and develop a calm and peaceful mins.

“He noticed how these qualities arose, came into play, and vanished. Sariputta remained free of attraction or aversion in regard to these qualities. He remained independent, detached, released, dissociated, and free of any barriers arising from attraction or aversion.” (Anupada Sutta)
