Description

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
This is the FULL DHAMMA SESSION conducted on ILL POYA (18 November 2021) via zoom on "WHY IT'S DIFFICULT TO RENUNCIATE THE WORLD", how to contemplate the Hāliddikāni Sutta (SN 22.3)
This is a teaching to lay people, with Venerable Mahākaccāna elaborating on the Buddha's verse: 
"Having left home to roam without abode,
In the village the sage is intimate with none;
Rid of sensual pleasures, without expectations,
He would not engage people in dispute"  
A very important teaching about the importance of not making a home for consciousness to establish and not roaming with our sense faculties to construct (and reconstruct) the world, with some very practical application.
This Dhamma session consolidates and expands on many of the instructions, insight pathways and meditations we have studied over the past few poya and other Dhamma sessions.
Note - This is a broad session on the Hāliddikāni Sutta (SN 22.3), and we may have another session to go through a powerful meditation on this sutta
