Dasuttara Sutta in English

Yumbulagang Buddhist Monastery of Tibet: According to an ancient legend it was the first building of Tibet and the former Royal Palace of the first Tibetan King Nyatri Tsenpo. That Palace became a Buddhist monastery during the reign of the 5th Dalai Lama.

Dasuttara Sutta was the basis for the Dhamma Talks during the 125th residential meditation retreat of Nissaranavanaya monastery. The retreat was conducted in English over 14 days.

Dasuttara Sutta is the 34th or the last Sutta of Digha Nikaya preached by the Chief Disciple Most Ven. Sariputta at the Gaggarāpokkharani in Campā, in the presence of the Lord Buddha. It is said that at the end of the discourse five hundred monks became Arahants.

The Sutta consists of groups of doctrines – ten single doctrines, ten twofold doctrines, and so on up to ten tenfold. The Sutta is mentioned as describing the pārisuddhipadhāniyanga.
