Speaker: Sister Paññasiri (Joining online from Sri Lanka)

The Buddha praised the mastery of instruction over the mastery of psychic power and the mastery of telepathy because it leads to noble attainment and culminates in complete liberation. Lay people received gradual instructions from the Buddha and attained the fruit of stream entry and more. Now more than 2,500 years after the parinibbāna of the Buddha, if we have faith or conviction in the Buddha, incline towards understanding the Buddha’s gradual instructions and diligently practice in accordance with them, we can still expect wonderful results. In this Dhamma session we will examine the Buddha’s gradual instructions from the Pali Canon and why they are so valuable and powerful.

About the speaker: Sister Paññasiri is from the Sutta Meditation Series YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@SuttaMeditationSeries

The Sutta Meditation Series YouTube channel gives information on how to study the Buddha’s Teachings (Dhamma-Vinaya) and meditate on the Buddha’s insight (knowledge) pathways contained in the Theravada suttas. Particular emphasis is given to lay practice towards developing the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path, attaining path and fruit, and culminating in the realisation of full liberation (nibbāna). They are a group of kalyāṇamitta who develop and practice in accordance with the Dhamma-Vinaya. Their Sangha is globally situated, with strong grassroots in Sri Lanka.
