Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
In this segment, we look at the question of "CAN WE BE TOO KIND & CARING THAT IT OBSTRUCTS DAILY LIFE?" by:
- looking at how the practise of metta results in a refinement of one's virtue (body, speech and mind);
- revisiting how it's important to cultivate the ten skilled states (dasakusala)
- providing another way of contemplating the ten skilled states to reinforcing these core virtues;
- highlighting the Buddha's teaching on "Mind is the chief forerunner of all unwholesome states";
- mentioning the Story of Cakkhupala Thera; and
- taking a quick look at what Buddha teaches on cause, diversity, result and cessation of kamma.
Suttas mentioned in this segment:
- Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Sn1.8)
- Saṃsappanīya Sutta (AN 10.216)
- Vatthūpama Sutta (MN7)
- Cakkhupalatthera Vatthu (Dhp 1)
- Nibbedhika Sutta (AN 6.63)
