This morning’s instruction is an invitation to investigate the first two (of the twenty-four) conditions outlined in the Patthana, the last section of Abhidhamma. The first is root condition (hetu-paccaya) and the second is object condition (arammana-paccaya). A brief Q/A by both Nikki Mirghafori and Sayadaw U Jagara ends the session.
The reflection on death should be frequently practiced by anyone who seeks freedom from suffering. It arouses the necessary urgency and makes us think about our priorities in life.
