Prioritising Dhamma, not Kamma

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

Following on from the unexpected visit to the hospital and taking the opportunity to contemplate the Dhamma, we now take a look at the importance of prioritising Dhamma, not Kamma.

Whether we know it or not, all of us spend the bulk of our time on kamma. Even when we think we're in Dhamma.

Kamma keeps us bound to saṁsāra and this whole mass of suffering, while Dhamma (Buddha's true teachings and instructions) helps us to realise complete liberation.

Some of the suttas that are referred to:

• — Asubha Sutta (AN 4.163)
• — Suttavebhaṅgiya (Pe 9)Vitakka Sutta (Iti 80)
• — Samādhibhāvanā Sutta (SN 22.5)
