Our Tuesday/Saturday class Truth Of Happiness Dhamma Study begins January 12, 2021
My Saturday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is the second of three talks on the key theme of the Buddha’s Dhamma: Understanding Dukkha and resulting release from all fabricated views of human life.
Dukkha is one aspect of Anicca, Anatta, and Dukkha – the Three Marks Of Human Existence. The purpose of the Buddha’s Dhamma is to understand and abandon the clinging of views ignorant of Four Noble Truths onto impermanent and impersonal phenomena. It is the role of true vipassana, true introspective insight into these Three Marks that is developed through the Eightfold Path.
Saturday’s talk is on The Maha-Dukkhandha Sutta. In this sutta, the Buddha teaches the distraction and drawback of Five Clinging Aggregates.
“This drawback of sensuality, this mass of stress and suffering that is visible here and now has sensuality as it source and its establishment. Simply put, the drawback is sensuality…"
I look forward to sharing the Buddha's Dhamma with you at our center in Frenchtown or online via Zoom.
