The Sutta Weekly

In this episode, I talk about the significance of having the right perspective about things. The way we see the world determines our actions. So, it’s important that we see things the right way.

Buddhism is for everyone, even for those of us who aren’t actively seeking liberation. The Buddha gave us some practical advises to lead better lives.

In this episode, I give an overview of the MN 13 sutta, in which the Buddha explains why it’s a bad idea to cling on to sensuality, forms and feelings for our happiness. To read the whole text itself, you can go to https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN13.html

Climate change is arguably the biggest issue at the moment. In this episode, I talk about what Buddhism might have to say about it.

Pattica-samupadda or dependant co-origination is the fundamental block of Buddhism. In this episode, I talk about how it applies to our suffering.

Science is held as the unquestionable authority on things, but is it really all right? I don’t think so. In this episode, I put forward my arguments against the scientific method and also talk about the difference between science and Buddhism.

Right effort is central to practicing the Noble Eightfold Path. It comprises of four kinds: abandoning the unskilful, preventing the unskilful from arising, arising the skilful, and maintaining the skilful.

We often unknowingly do a lot of unskilful things. So, it’s necessary that we exercise more mindfulness to help us recognise our bad behaviours.

In this sermon, the Buddha talks about the priority of right view, how it leads us towards practicing the Noble Eightfold Path. To read more in detail about the sutta, check out https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN117.html.

Almost all of us have some regrets in life. We can’t help but wonder ‘what if’ and plunge into negativity. How do we deal with it?
