Reflections on the Paramattakasutta (The Discourse of Eight on Ultimacy) from the Atthakavagga of the Sutta Nipata (Sn. 796-803).
This talk begins with a guided meditation, introduced by Martine Batchelor.
We look at (1) the importance of speech practice; (2) the practice of cultivating inner and outer awareness at the same time; (3) the roles of awareness, intention, and action in speech practice; and (4) the speech guidelines of the Buddha. We end with a guided practice period.
