DIGHA NIKAYA SERIES – DAILY SUTTA LISTENING
WELCOME TO THIS SERIES
This is a special feature for December for ‘listening’ to all the 34 suttas in the Digha Nikaya. It’s an amazing and rich library of The Buddha’s teachings. I will daily post a new sutta to listen with a brief overview of the sutta.
The Digha Nikaya, or “Collection of Long Discourses” (Pali digha = “long”) is the first division of the Sutta Pitaka, and consists of thirty-four suttas, grouped into three vaggas, or divisions:
Silakkhandha-vagga — The Division Concerning Morality (13 suttas) Maha-vagga — The Large Division (10 suttas) Patika-vagga — The Patika Division (11 suttas)
There will be no language translations for December so the translators can have a break and the month free.
We will continue to feature “The Daily Cushion” with meditation teachings on the daily featured Digha Nikaya sutta.
GOALS:
Learn to listen to sutta readings with mindfulness Learn to listen to sutta readings to gain insights Learn about the full Digha Nikaya section of the Pali Canon (34 Suttas) Gain insights from each daily sutta reading Incorporate daily insights to our meditation practice
