Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero conducted the 30th Part of Dasuttara Sutta during the 132 residential meditation retreat at Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery.

The Maha Thero emphasizes the deeper workings of the mind of the Yogi on the Path and the entrance to Nibbana. The focus during this short residential retreat was on the finer development of Cittanupassana. These recordings are very useful to the Advanced Yogis. They can use these recordings to open the door to the innermost working of their minds.

The Maha Thero conducted this 05 days retreat in Sinhala during end November 2016.

The Chief Disciple Most Ven. Sariputta preached Dasuttara Sutta 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.
