This is a recording from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey. Our Dhamma classes are streamed live on Tuesday evenings at 7:15 pm and Saturday mornings at 8:30 am Eastern Us Time.
My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is the second of two talks on the Anapanasati Sutta. This is class 32-2 of our 32-class structured study of true Vipassana. Our 2020 Truth Of Happiness Dhamma Study will begin Saturday, January 11. Past talks from our Vipassana Structured Study are linked below.
The Anapanasati Sutta is the Buddha’s instruction for integrating refined mindfulness of the foundational Dhamma teachings supported by the concentration developed during Jhana meditation. The purpose of meditation is to deepen concentration to provide the foundation necessary to develop skillful insight of the Three Marks Of Existence
"In this community of monks, there are monks who, abandoning the five lower fetters, are totally unbound (from clinging to ignorant views), their minds (continually) resting in equanimity. Such are the monks in this community of monks...” (AnapanasatiSutta)
Each Dhamma class will have a Jhana meditation session followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with an offering of Metta.
