This is a recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on July 27, 2019. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.
My Saturday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the Kuta Sutta. In the Kuta Sutta, the Buddha teaches Anathapindika the importance of protecting one’s mind through wise restraint. Anathapindika was a wealthy businessman and early benefactor of the Buddha and the original Sangha.
“When restrained the mind is protected. When the mind is protected bodily, verbal, and mental actions are also protected. A comfortable and content abiding is present. (Refined) Mindfulness is well-established and the opportunity for an auspicious life is present...” (Kuta Sutta)
