UNLOCKING THE BUDDHA'S CODE - Extracting Insight Pathways - Part 2

Listen Later

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

This talk is part of a multi-part series titled "Unlocking the Buddha's Code", examining the importance of meditating on suttas, or the Buddha's specific instructions contained in the suttas. We look into the Buddha's instructions before he passed away; what he foretold when it comes to the decline and disappearance of the teachings; the unique method of instruction contained in the Pali Canon that unlocks the Buddha's code or insight pathway; why it's good to be "suvaco" or willing to follow instructions; and a glimpse at a few other useful things.
