Description

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
Another session to accompany the second module in the Youth Dhamma Gradual Teachings series looking into Buddha's Gradual Instructions to Lay People on VIRTUE (sīlakathaṁ)  
In this additional episode, we look at VIRTUE AS A FACTOR OF STREAM ENTRY. When it comes to the mundane path, virtue plays a key part in rebirth in a good destination as a result of merit-making and good conduct. However, on the supramundane path, virtue is only part of what helps us to walk the Noble Eightfold Path, which is the way out of all suffering.  
In this session we examine  

— why it's important to enter the stream and one of the Buddha's similes to explain that 
— how virtue helps us to slant, slope and incline towards liberation
— "virtue dear to the noble ones" (ariyakantehi sīlehi) as a factor of stream entry and explain a little of what the Buddha teaches on this and how to develop it 
— and link to our "Metta School" meditation 
— how we purify our conduct and look at the Simile of Heartwood to understand where virtue fits into developing our Path and Practice.  

Some of the suttas that are mentioned directly or indirectly in this session: 

— Samudda Sutta (SN 13.7) 
— Dutiyasāriputta Sutta (SN 55.5) 
— Dutiyamahānāma Sutta (SN 55.22) 
— Paṭhamasāriputta Sutta (SN 55.5) 
— Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8) 
— Veḷudvāreyya Sutta (SN 55.7)  
— Mahāsāropama Sutta (MN 29)
