In this day of Dhamma reflection and practice, we will look at teachings from the early discourses of the Buddha on the topic of the transformation that occurs through Buddhist practice. In particular we will read and discuss the Angulimala Sutta (MN 86), in which a murderer becomes enlightened, and the Paссa Sutta (AN 8.2), which lists eight conditions for acquiring wisdom.

Shaila Catherine gave the sixth talk in a series on Recollective Meditations. This talk explores the practice of devanusatti — contemplating the good qualities that lead to happiness in this life and future lives. This practice emphasizes five specific qualities: faith, virtue, learning, generosity, and wisdom. One first reflects on the superior qualities of the devas, and then contemplates those same qualities within oneself. By contemplating the success of celestial beings, we might realize that success is also possible for us. This practice can inspire us to develop those beautiful qualities of heart and mind.
