Pamadavarin Sutta Dwelling In Mindfulness Talk 1 August 11 2018

This is a live stream and recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on August 11,  2018. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion will be on the Pamadaviharin Sutta. In this sutta the Buddha teaches the importance of developing dwelling in refined mindfulness. Modern life encourages constant engagement with the world and in many subtle ways discourages restraint. Many today feel overwhelmed by the demands of life and the busy-ness of their lives.

“And how does one dwell in mindfulness? When a Dhamma Practitioner dwells in restraint with eye, with nose, with the ear, with the tongue, and with the body, the mind is not agitated or distracted by mental fabrications.” (Pamadaviharin Sutta)
