Dive into The Path to Nibbāna: Gradual Training in the Buddha's Suttas – a serene and insightful exploration of the Buddha's systematic "Gradual Training" as taught in the early Pali Canon, guiding practitioners step-by-step from ethical living to profound meditative absorption and final liberation.Key stages of the Gradual Training revealed:

  • Purified ethics (sīla) as the foundation: Freedom from regret sparks joy, rapture, tranquility, bliss, and unified immersion (samādhi).
  • Sense restraint and mindfulness: Guarding the sense doors, moderation in eating, dedicated wakefulness, and overcoming the five hindrances to prepare the mind.
  • Development of jhana: Entering the four absorptions through seclusion, stilling coarser factors, and cultivating rapture, bliss, equanimity, and pure mindfulness.
  • Insight and liberation: Directing the pliable, radiant mind toward knowing impermanence, suffering, non-self – culminating in the unshakable freedom of Nibbāna.

This authentic Theravada overview presents the path as a natural, progressive "slanting" toward awakening – practical, verifiable, and open to all with diligent effort.Perfect for meditators seeking sutta-based guidance on the integrated path of ethics, concentration, and wisdom.Original video: https://youtu.be/pBUmGxh0LVQ#GradualTraining #PathToNibbana #TheravadaBuddhism #PaliCanon #Silasamadhipanna #JhanaPath #FiveHindrances #SenseRestraint #BuddhaTeachings #Dhamma #Nibbana #Enlightenment #BuddhistMeditation #Satipatthana #FourJhanasSubscribe for more authentic explorations of early Buddhist suttas and the timeless path to freedom.
