Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero continued on his long series on Dasuttara Sutta by conducting the 36th part during early March 2017. It was held at Mitirigala Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery during a five days residential retreat.

Dasuttara is the last (thirty fourth) Sutta of the Digha Nikaya, preached by Arahanth Sariputta at the Gaggarapokkharani in Campa, in the presence of the Lord Buddha. It consists of groups of doctrines – ten single doctrines, ten twofold doctrines, and so on up to ten tenfold (D.iii.272). It is said that at the end of the discourse five hundred monks became Arahants.
