A DEEPER CONTEMPLATION OF KAMMA

Sutta Meditation Series

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

In this Dhamma session, we wisely contemplate in a progressive way,

1. wholesome and unwholesome states (Kusala Sutta),
2. blameable and blameless states (Sāvajja Sutta),
3. inferior and superior states (Cūḷakammavibhaṅga Sutta), and
4. dark and bright states with their counterparts (Chaḷabhijāti Sutta)

referencing key teachings of the Buddha, to deepen our understanding of kamma. This will also enable us to grow in wisdom and deepen our understanding of wrong view and right view, and more importantly, we’ll be nourishing the right view that is “noble, taintless, supramundane, a factor of the path”.
