Description
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
A question received in relation to our examination of the Four Nutriments and Going the Four Wrong Ways:
“Could you explain in more detail how to meditate on the Greed Path? After watching your videos on our craving for food, sex and a whole lot of other things, it strikes me as an important meditation especially when it comes to bad habits and how this can lead us to future rebirths possibly in bad destinations”
To answer this question we:
— go through the importance of seeing the gratification and danger of fuelling craving for sensual pleasures
— emphasise the danger of burning with lust
— go through the meditation step-by-step of how we re-establish consciousness that results in rebirth
— highlight the link to lack of virtue (sexual misconduct and taking what is not given)
— emphasise our intolerance for when feeling changes or slides
— outline important tips for this meditation
Some of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to:
— Upādāna Sutta (SN 12.52)
— Ādittapariyāya Sutta (SN 35.28)
— Suttavebhaṅgiya (Pe 9)
— Ādittapariyāya Sutta (SN 35.28)
— Paribbājaka Sutta (AN 3.54)
— Āhāra Sutta (SN 12.11)
— Vipallāsa Sutta (AN 4.49)
