My Saturday Dhamma talk and our Sangha discussion is on the Simsapa Sutta. The Simsapa Sutta is more commonly known as the “Handful of Leaves” sutta. Here the Buddha is describing the pure and direct focus of his Dhamma that reveals this awakened man’s unconditioned commitment to only Four Noble Truths that the Buddha’s Dhamma continues in relevance and effectiveness 2,600 years after he first taught.

Each Dhamma class will have a Jhana meditation session followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion. We conclude with mindfulness of Metta.
