We are pleased provide you the recordings of the Part 02 of Maha Chattarisaka Sutta conducted at Meetirigala Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery of Sri Lanka. This part 02 of the Sutta series was conducted in May 2012 by Most Ven. Udairiyagama Dhammajiva Maha Thero.
The audio editing of this Part 2 was kindly sponsored by Miss Lasanthi Geekiyanage of Sri Lanka.
All suttas in one way or another describe the Path to Nibbāna; there are many ways to analyze the Path. The Path to Nibbāna is normally abbreviated as sila (virtue), samādhi (moral concentration), and paññā (wisdom).
Maha Chattarisaka Sutta is important for illuminating some of the dynamics of the Eightfold Path. In particular, it describes two ways the eight factors work together, one linear and one non-linear. This sutta discusses two eight fold paths: A mundane path that leads to rebirth in the “good realms” (at or above the human realm) and the Noble Eightfold Path that leads to Nibbāna.
