AN 9.01 Beginning with good friendship, the Buddha teaches nine things that give rise to the qualities that lead to awakening. AN 9.02 The things that a mendicant relies on as supports in spiritual practice. AN 9.03 Venerable Meghiya, while attending on the Buddha, wants to go off and meditate in a forest alone. The Buddha discourages him, but he goes anyway. When his meditation doesn't go well, he returns chastened to the Buddha, who teaches him about the benefits of good companions and other fundamentals of a balanced spiritual practice. An 9.04 Nandaka is teaching the monks when the Buddha arrives. Unbeknown to those inside, the Buddha waits until the talk was finished, then enters. Nandaka is embarrassed at keeping the Buddha waiting, but the Buddha praises him and offers a teaching on the four things a mendicant should complete. Nandaka then teaches five benefits of listening to Dhamma. AN 9.05 A noble disciple who develops four powers overcomes five fears. AN 9.06 Four kinds of person who one should or should not associate with. A similar distinction is made regarding robes, almsfood, lodgings, towns, and countries. AN 9.07 The wanderer Sutavā asks the Buddha about five things a perfected one cannot do; the Buddha expands it to nine. AN 9.08 The wanderer Sajjha asks the Buddha about five things a perfected one cannot do; the Buddha expands it to nine, which differ slightly from AN 9.7. AN 9.09 Nine kinds of persons: the eight noble persons and the ordinary person. AN 9.10 Nine persons are worthy of gifts: the eight noble persons and a member of the spiritual family.

Episode #356: Jonathan Crowley shares his experiences as an Assistant Teacher within the Vipassana Meditation Organization of SN Goenka. He participated in a culture that heavily prioritized rules and regulations over open and meaningful discussion about the practice itself. This lack of space for open dialogue, especially about the Dhamma, led Jonathan to feel that the organization was stifling inquiry and critical discourse. He was particularly concerned about the Organization's reluctance to engage with the Pali Canon apart from Goenka's idiosyncratic interpretations, or to address social justice issues, including race and privilege. More broadly, Jonathan felt that this avoidance of critical topics has led to an environment where questioning or expressing any difficulty with the practice is not just discouraged, but seen as a threat to the purity and integrity of the tradition. This culture of non-questioning, according to Jonathan, fosters a sense of cognitive dissonance in many practitioners, as they are expected to accept the teachings without critical engagement. Jonathan's growing discomfort with this environment led him to question his own involvement and sense of belonging. He found it increasingly difficult to reconcile his deep commitment to the practice with an environment that discourages a more holistic and critical engagement with the Dhamma. Despite the profound transformative experiences he had through the practice, the organization's approach to maintaining its perceived purity ultimately felt too restrictive. He concluded that while the organization's emphasis on tradition and non-questioning was intended to preserve the teachings, it actually hinders open exploration and critical thinking, which are crucial for a deeper understanding and application of the Dhamma in all aspects of life. “When you're involved as much as I was, you can't really leave the Organization with dignity,” he says sadly.

Just like lotus plants in a pond where some lotus plants are growing under the water and some have emerged from the water and stand unsullied by the water.After the Buddha sees that there are beings who are capable to understand him, he makes the momentous decision to teach the path to awakening that he found himself to others out of compassion, which influenced the lives of billions of people in the last 2500 years.The Suttas can be found in Udana 1;1-4, Udana 2;1 and Udana 3;10.https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/ud/index.htmlIn the Mahavagga of the Vinaya Pitaka:https://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/Mv/MvI.html#burmese4Samyutta Nikaya 4;1 and S 4;24 and 25https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN4_1.htmlhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN4_24.htmlhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN4_25.htmlSamyutta Nikaya 47;43 and 48;57 where the Buddha reflects about the practice that led him to awakeningSamyutta Nikaya 6;2 where the Buddha decides to live revering the Dhamma itselfhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN6_2.htmlMORE INFO:Dhammagiri Website: ⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net⁠ Dhammagiri YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724 Dhammagiri Newsletter: ⁠https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter.
