THE SECOND DOORWAY TO NIBBANA — Painful practice with quick realisation (livestream)

Sutta Meditation Series

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

We live streamed this Dhamma session on our YouTube channel on 14 May 2023.

This was based on the Asubha Sutta (AN 4.163) and Petakopadesa.

** Please note, it's helpful if you have already practised the insight pathway meditation for the First Doorway to Nibbāna — Painful practice with slow realisation (https://bit.ly/3GzEkpy), as well as being able to develop loving kindness (mettā). And to be familiar with the Potaliya Sutta (MN 54) via the recent sessions on noble retirement **

The format for this livestream:

1. Recap of the Four Modes of Practice
2. What kind of spiritual faculties and powers are associated with this mode of practice?
3. Venerable MahāMoggallāna
4. What underpins this 2nd Doorway to Nibbāna?
5. "Deep dive" into the insight pathway for painful practice with quick realisation
6. Meditation instructions
