In the MN 36, the Buddha teaches and answers to the questions of the skeptic Saccaka. He elucidates the right concepts of development of mind and body; his spiritual journey into homelessness and his unwavering persistence to not allow feelings of pleasure and pain take over his mind; the jhanas and the three knowledges; what is the real delusion. Impressed, in the end, Saccaka praises the Buddha.

A sophist takes the Buddha to debate, hoping to outwit him, whereas he is the one losing in the end. Link to the discourse: https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN35.html

In this MN:33, the Buddha speaks of the qualities that make up a good and not good monk. Link to the sutta: https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN33.html

The Buddha converses with venerables Anuruddha, Nandiya and Kimbila regarding their progress and is very impressed by them.

Similar to MN:29, the Buddha once again recounts to us about the pitfalls along the path. My email btw: [email protected]

In this discourse, the Buddha warns us of not getting astray during our practice of the Dharma.

In this episode, I attempt to explain the MN: 28. As per my understanding, it elaborates on the five aggregates and why clinging to them causes us suffering.
