We are pleased to provide at Damsara, the recordings of Mahā Sāropama Sutta conducted by Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero at Bromley, UK. The retreat was conducted during May 2015. In this Sutta the Lord Buddha advises to the Monks about the areas to avoid in the Dhamma Path through the events occurred due to the actions of Devadatta Thero.

The monk Devadatta was a highly skillful monk. However, he met the end of his spiritual road due to certain factors. The Maha Thero explains that the present day Yogi can also succumb to such factors and become like a Devadatta.

The Mahā Sāropama Sutta conducted at Bromley during May 2015 is highly valuable to the Yogis, Monks and the Nuns.

This Sutta is from Book 1, Page 462 of Majjima Nikaya, Opamma Vagga of Sutta Pitaka. You can locate the Sutta from Tripitakaya.org at this link: Mahā Sāropama Sutta
