2018-07-23 Disenchantment and dispassion --> Knowledge and vision of liberation 61:09
Nikki Mirghafori
This talk discusses the last conditional links described in the Kimatthiya Sutta (“What Purpose?”) (Anguttara Nikaya 10.1), where the Buddha teaches Ananda that wholesome ethical behavior leads to non-regret, which leads to gladness, .... ultimately leading to liberation. The penultimate stage of the list is Nibbida virāgo, which are often translated as disenchantment and dispassion (thought "free of enchantment and free of fire of passion" is a more appropriate translation, as discussed in the talk). The list in the sutta, as well as the talk, end with a brief discussion of knowledge and vision of liberation (Vimutti ñāna dassana), which is synonymous with nibbana.
2018-07-25 The Simile of the Cloth (Majjhima Nikaya) and The Four Noble Truths in short 52:44
Sayadaw U Jagara
Based on that sutta, we see the role of perception (sañña) in how we relate to our experience of the world.
