Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.This is the Dhamma session on "Developing an Unblemished Mind", which was was conducted via zoom. We deep-dive into Venerable Sāriputta and Venerable MahāMoggallāna's teaching in the Anaṅgaṇa Sutta (MN 5). In this teaching, Venerable Sāriputta spoke of four persons - with and without blemishes and knowing it and not knowing it - explaining which were called inferior and superior using a simile of a bronze dish. He then gives a masterclass on evil, unwholesome wishes associated with anger and bitterness as blemishes, with some powerful similes to help us understand how to develop an unblemished mind.And Venerable MahāMoggallāna contributes as the questioner to Venerable Sāriputta's clarifier in this teaching, as well as providing a comprehensive summary at the end rejoicing in Venerable Sāriputta's instruction to the bhikkhus.Blessings of the Triple Gem.

Putri Suppavasa dari Kundakoliya hamil selama 7 tahun dan kemudian selama 7 hari dia mengalami nyeri persalinan. Dia terus merenungkan kualitas unik dari Buddha, Dhamma dan Sangha, kemudian menyuruh suaminya untuk menemui Buddha, memberikan penghormatan atas namanya, dan memberitahukan mengenai kondisinya. Ketika mengetahui keadaan Putri Suppavasa, Buddha berkata, “Semoga Suppavasa terbebas dari bahaya dan penderitaan; semoga dia melahirkan seorang putra yang mulia dengan selamat.” Bersamaan dengan itu, putri Suppavasa melahirkan. Sebagai perayaan atas kelahiran bayi tersebut, Buddha beserta beberapa bhikkhu diundang utk menerima persembahan makanan selama 7 hari, dan bayi yang baru lahir tersebut mempersembahkan air yang sudah disaring kepada Buddha dan para bhikkhu.Setelah dewasa, bayi tersebut menjadi bhikkhu dan dikenal dengan nama Sivali. Setelah rambutnya dicukur, Bhante Sivali mencapai ke-arahanta-an dan selanjutnya beliau dikenal sebagai bhikkhu yang paling banyak menerima persembahan. Pada suatu hari, para bhikkhu bertanya kepada Buddha, mengapa Bhante Sivali yang memiliki kualifikasi untuk menjadi seorang Arahat bisa terkurung di dalam rahim ibunya selama 7 tahun. Bagaimana jawaban Buddha? Apa yang diperbuat Bhante Sivali di masa lalu yang menyebabkan penderitaan tersebut?Di kelas ini Ashin Kheminda menjelaskan makna kata demi kata stanza 408-414 dari Kelompok Stanza tentang Brahmana (Brahmanavagga) hanya berdasarkan Pāḷi dan kitab komentarnya (Aṭṭhakathā).

In this Dhamma talk at the International Buddhist Meditation Center Los Angeles on September 21, 2025, Subodha shares his thoughts on the autumn equinox as a time of balance. He shares how balance is often paired with equanimity and acceptance and how all are often mistaken for the goal of the path rather than part of the path. This is highlighted through his sharing of the five recollections and how even monks sometimes exclude the fifth recollection in favor of framing the first four around acceptance of aging, illness, death, and change. But it is the fifth recollection that has the power to change your life because it is a reminder of the power of your actions.

Episode #399: Insight Myanmar was very fortunate to conduct a series of interviews with Friedgard Lottermoser between 2023 and 2024, amounting to more than forty hours before she sadly passed away last year. Friedgard was one of the few non-Burmese who could speak about the experience of meditating extensively with Sayagyi U Ba Khin, life at the International Meditation Center (IMC), and what it was like to live in Burma at a crucial period of its modern history.In this episode, she explains how she survived the July 7, 1962 student massacre by chance, spending the weekend meditating at IMC instead of joining the demonstrations at Rangoon University. “After meditating for several hours, I heard a huge boom, like thunder,” she says. “I thought it was just the continuation of a long thunderstorm, but it was the military blowing up the Student Union building!”She also speaks about her stepfather's work with the German firm Fritz Werner, the state-owned company that helped establish Burma's arms industry in the late 1950s and licensed local production of G3 rifles. These weapons, which became standard issue for the Burmese army, were later turned against students in 1962 and again during the 1988 uprising. For Friedgard, this connection adds a painful irony to her memories, as the same rifles linked to her family's presence in Burma were used to silence the very voices of democracy she might have joined that day.Her reflections often circle back to meditation, which she saw as both refuge and compass. “Of course, I listened to what U Ba Khin said, but it was reinforced by my personal perception through the development of Vipassana meditation. That is why, actually, I followed it up in these early days.” For Friedgard, meditation was not just practice but the thread that allowed her to endure, make sense of, and carry forward the experiences of those turbulent years.

Pada suatu waktu, Buddha tiba di Rājagaha dengan rombongan para Bhikkhu, salah satunya adalah YA. Assaji. Upatissa (yang kelak menjadi YA. Sāriputta) sangat terkesan dengan penampilan YA. Assaji yang mulia, sehingga dengan hormat ia bertanya kepada YA. Assaji siapakah gurunya, ajaran apakah yang diajarkannya, dan juga memohon YA. Assaji mengajarkan secara singkat ajarannya. Setelah menjawab dua pertanyaan pertama, YA. Assaji kemudian mengutip sebuah stanza singkat yang berhubungan dengan Empat Kebenaran Mulia. Di pertengahan stanza tersebut dibabarkan, Upatissa mencapai buah Sotapatti. Upatissa kemudian memberitahu sahabatnya Kolita mengenai Dhamma sejati yang telah ditemukan, lalu keduanya menemui Buddha di wihara Veluvana dan ditahbiskan sebagai Bhikkhu. Selanjutnya mereka berdua dikenal sebagai YA. Sāriputta dan YA. Moggallāna.YA. Sāriputta selalu mengingat bahwa berkat YA. Assaji-lah Beliau dapat bertemu Buddha dan mencapai keadaan Tanpa Kematian, sehingga Beliau selalu menghormat ke arah mana pun YA. Assaji berada dan tidur dengan kepala menghadap ke arah yang sama. Para Bhikkhu lain yang tinggal bersamanya salah mengartikan tindakan Beliau tersebut sebagai menyembah ke berbagai arah dan melaporkannya kepada Buddha. Bagaimana tanggapan Buddha mengenai hal tersebut? Bagaimana seharusnya sikap seorang murid terhadap gurunya?Di kelas ini Ashin Kheminda menjelaskan makna kata demi kata stanza 391-394 dari Kelompok Stanza tentang Brahmana (Brahmanavagga) hanya berdasarkan Pāḷi dan kitab komentarnya (Aṭṭhakathā).

Many approach the practice thinking that it means hours of meditation or chasing special experiences. But true Dhamma practice is a lot simpler—and far more profound.Why “meditation” in the modern sense isn't the core of practiceHow to develop clarity by taking responsibility for your actionsWhy novelty and spiritual experiences are distractionsHow to overcome the pressure of tradition and the sense of “duty” in Buddhist practiceIf you wish to support our work, the Hillside Hermitage Sangha and this channel you are very welcome to do so via: ⁠⁠https://www.hillsidehermitage.org/support-us/⁠

In this episode, we reflect on stillness - why it's so hard to find in daily life and yet, why it's deeply worth pursuing and developing on our path.
