Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
This is the FULL DHAMMA SESSION conducted on NIKINI POYA (22 August 2021) via zoom on "THE ARISING AND PASSING AWAY OF THE FIVE AGGREGATES", focusing on the Buddha's instructions in the SAMĀDHI BHĀVANĀ SUTTA (SN 22.5). This is essentially about the NOBLE TRUTH OF THE ORIGIN OF SUFFERING (Tanha or Craving)
This session follows on from the Esala poya session and our deep-dive into the Noble Truth of Suffering (dukkha). It is very important to understand the First Noble Truth correctly, in order to then see, with the wisdom faculty, the arising and passing away of the five aggregates.  
In this Dhamma session we: 

— go over a quick recap of the last poya session 
— investigate the statement "you can't fix dukkha with craving" 
— introduce the Samādhi-bhāvanā Sutta 
— "deep dive" into the process of Arising and Passing Away  (including meditation) 
— go over useful tips for this meditation
