This is a recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on September 21, 2019. The live-stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.
This Saturday’s class is class 9 of 32 classes of our structured study of vipassana - introspective insight into Anicca, Anatta, and Dukkha. Past talks are linked below. My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the meaning of becoming. There is much confusion as to the meaning of “becoming.” Due to this confusion, great license is taken in interpreting what is meant by becoming as taught by the Buddha. This confusion and the following misapplication of the Dhamma can be avoided by simply looking at the Buddha’s own words from the following three sutta’s.
“The world is aflame. Rooted in ignorance the world is afflicted by sensory contact and perceives suffering as ‘self.’ Rooted in ignorance, it misunderstands ‘self’ and becomes anything other than self…” (Loka Sutta)
Each Saturday class will have a thirty-minute Jhana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with an offering of Metta.
My talks and classes can be joined live:
