Becoming Buddha Cross River Meditation Center Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
This is my Wednesday Dhamma talk on the direct teachings of the Buddha as preserved in the sutta Pitaka, the second book of the Pali Canon. These talks are streamed live every Wednesday at noon Eastern US time.
My podcast on January 3, 2018 will be on the Paticca Samuppadha Sutta - Dependent Origination and how ignorance of Four Noble Truths bring confusion, deluded thinking, and ongoing unsatisfactory experiences.
A related article is here: https://becoming-buddha.com/dependent-origination-the-paticca-samuppada-vibhanga-sutta/
Siddartha Gotama awakened, gained full human maturity, and became Buddha. He spent the last forty-five years of his life teaching anyone interested to do the same.
The purpose of these talks is to clearly present these teachings free of the adaptations, alterations, and embellishments that have developed since Siddartha Gotama’s passing.
Siddartha Gotama awakened to Dependent Origination which clearly and directly shows that it is ignorance of Four Noble Truths results in ongoing disappointment, unsatisfactoriness, and suffering - in a word Dukkha. He taught an Eightfold Path to become empty of ignorance.
Subtle but very effective strategies have developed due to the need for continued self-establishment to ignore this basic ignorance.
I will occasionally discuss the confused and contradictory modern “dharma’s” and the continuation of ignorance and suffering that follows.
