Sutta Study: "The Four Right Efforts" with Venerable Kaccayana Bhikkhuni

This week we’re continuing our series on the Bodhipakkhiyā Dhammā, seven sets of qualities taught by the Buddha as being part of the path of Awakening. Today Venerable Kaccayana will lead a discussion on the second of the sets, the four right efforts. This program includes reading and discussion of texts from the Pali canon. This week we will read from several short suttas on this theme, including AN 4.14, Dhammapada verses 360-361, and selections from the Sammappadhāna Saṃyutta, SN 49. The Buddha often instructed his disciples in these 37 as a summary of his whole teaching, saying: "Each and every one of you should train in the things I have taught from my direct knowledge, that is: the four kinds of mindfulness meditation, the four right efforts, the four bases of psychic power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven awakening factors, and the noble eightfold path. You should train in these things in harmony, appreciating each other, without dispute." -- To join us live on Zoom, you can find registration information for all our programs here: https://www.dhammadharini.net/news-ev...
