This is the edited recording with annotations of the talk given by Sis Sylvia Bay on Sat, 15 August 2020 at Buddhist Fellowship 'Facebook Live'.
Two suttas with seemingly common theme of "cetanā" headline this Dhamma sharing session by Sis Sylvia Bay. They are however very different with Cetanā Sutta SN12.38 (Intention) focusing on how rebirth or consciousness are driven by intention, planning and tendencies and that even if one does not have intention or planning but as long as one continues to have subtle habits, rebirth will persist. And as long as there is birth, there will be a whole mass of suffering. The second sutta, Cetanākaraṇīya Sutta AN11.2 (Making a Wish), explains the path to liberation is conditional upon one whose behaviour is virtuous. Establishing the right conditions would naturally set the Dhamma wheel turning, leading one to see the purpose and benefit of knowledge and vision that will lead one towards liberation.
