Topic: Sāvatthiyaṁ Viharati – “Staying at Sāvatthī…”
In this insightful session, Datuk Dr. Lim Siow Jin opened the discussion by highlighting the importance of knowing not just the nature of phenomena but also their origin, cessation, and the path leading to their end. Dr. Rajesh Savera guided the participants through the discourse, helping clarify the layered meaning behind the Buddha’s words.
The Buddha, while staying at Sāvatthī, addresses the bhikkhus with a powerful statement: “Bhikkhus, whatever Samanas or Brāhmaṇas do not understand these dhammas, do not understand their origin, cessation, or the path leading to cessation—what dhammas do they not understand?”
This foundational teaching stresses the importance of direct understanding. The discussion explored how missing the core insight into the nature and conditions of dhammas leads to continued confusion and suffering. The session encouraged practical reflection, pointing toward clarity through awareness and examination.To watch this session, please click the link below:
