WHAT MAKES US INCAPABLE OF REALISING NIBBANA? (FULL DHAMMA SESSION, Poson Poya)

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

This is the FULL DHAMMA SESSION conducted on POSON POYA (24 June 2021) via zoom on "WHAT MAKES US INCAPABLE OF REALISING NIBBANA?", or escaping from samsāra (the continual cycle of rebirth).

In this Dhamma session we:

• Introduce and look at the context of the Buddha's teaching of the Tayodhamma Sutta (AN 10.76)
• Take a closer look at the Groupings of 3s and the individual elements
• Extract the Insight Pathways (ñāṇapathā)

This session is more of a broad overview, initial study and snapshot of the Tayodhamma Sutta, explaining the key elements and the groupings and a glimpse at the insight pathways. More time is really needed to deeply study, investigate and contemplate these Dhammas (as in Dhammānupassana). But even this initial session is really helpful at seeing how certain teachings of the Buddha fit together and why what we have been studying thus far is so helpful to encouraging, developing and realising the Noble Eightfold Path.

It's recommended to (1) ensure you understand each element in this sutta (2) go through each grouping of three (3) start investigating the links for each grouping of three, and then (4) gradually study parts or the whole insight pathways of lust (greed), hatred and delusion, and non-lust (non-greed), non-hatred and non-delusion.
