Dasuttara Sutta was discussed by Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero at Mitirigala Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery for the 49th occasion during a 10 days retreat in Oct 2017. It was the 161st residential retreat at Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery. This retreat was specifically targeted for the Nuns.

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.
