WHAT THE BUDDHA TAUGHT - Teachings grouped by one

Listen Later

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

This is the first part of a series looking into "What the Buddha Taught", based on a teaching by Venerable Sariputta in the Saṅgīti Sutta (DN 33) - Reciting Together - an extended collection of the Buddha's teachings grouped by numerical sequence.

In examining this sutta in a gradual way, it offers a different approach to learning the Dhamma. We take the opportunity to:

  • familiarise ourselves with pali words and phrases and delving into their true meanings;
  • extend and improve our pali vocabulary and pronunciation
  • reduce any anxiety, confusion or frustration that we might have towards pali and Dhamma that we aren't familiar with
  • learn new Dhamma, or revisit things we have already covered;
  • get a birds-eye view (or even learn a little more) of what the Buddha taught;
  • reference other teachings of the Buddha and the noble arahants to help understand parts of the Sangiti Sutta
  • use this as a way of reciting and memorising the Buddha's teachings
  • enable the spiritual path to grow and last longer
