MAKING RESOLUTIONS TOWARDS OUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

The Buddha encourages making wholesome resolutions and talks of great benefits and blessings as a result.

As we begin a new year, in this Dhamma session we look at the Buddha's words in a couple of suttas, the benefit of making resolutions, what kind of resolutions can we make towards our spiritual practice, some helpful things to consider, and talk through some examples.

Some of the suttas that are mentioned directly or indirectly in this session:

• – Cakka Sutta (AN 4.31)
• – Pubbaṇha Sutta (AN 3.155)
• – Sekha-pāṭipada Sutta (MN53)
• – Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Sn 1.8)
• – Samādhi-bhāvanā Sutta (SN 22.5)
