Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

Following the talk on poya on Buddha's Advice to Lay People on Stream Entry, a question has been raised:  

"Virtue or moral conduct (sīla) is encouraged throughout the Buddha’s teachings. I was wondering if perfect virtue is a requirement for stream entry?”  

To answer the questions the following suttas were directly or indirectly referenced: 

  • — Dutiyasāriputta Sutta (SN 55.5) 
  • — Dutiyagilāna Sutta (SN 35.75) 
  • — Sammādiṭṭhi Sutta (MN 9) 
  • — Akusala Sutta (AN 10.136) 
  • — Sīlabbata Sutta (AN 3.78) 
  • — Kukkuravatika Sutta (MN 57)  
  • — Mahāsāropama Sutta (MN 29) 
  • — Sīla Sutta (AN 5.213)
  • — Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Sn 1.8)

    • Bohoma pin to the person who asked this Dhamma question.
