Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

We live streamed this Dhamma session on our YouTube channel on 23 April 2023

This is one of the Buddha's most powerful teachings to a lay person on how to develop the path that leads to supramundane or noble retirement (nibbāna)

The format for this livestream (Part II) will be:

1. Overview of the Buddha's instructions on how to achieve noble retirement entirely and in all ways
2. Understanding the Buddha's pathway of renunciation and the principles we will apply
3. "Deep dive" into the seven similes of the Buddha to understand the danger in sensual pleasures and link to the eight things
4. Accomplishing the Three Knowledges
5. Buddha's final question for Potaliya and his response
