BUDDHA'S ADVICE ON CARING FOR THE SICK

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

In this Dhamma session on Navam full moon poya, we examine the "Buddha's advice on caring for the sick". This is in response to a request from one of our kalyanamittas. This will be based on Upaṭṭhāka Sutta (AN 5.124) and we will draw on other teachings, as well as highlighting the benefit of some of the sutta meditations we already practise.
