Phena Pindupama Sutta was the Sutta taken for discourses during the meditation retreat conducted at Adelaide, Australia during January 2016. The retreat was conducted by Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero mainly in Sinhala. There were Q&A sessions in English and we have provided those separately for the benefit of English language listeners.

Phena Pindupama sutta is from SN, Khandaka Vagga and in it the Lord Buddha use the simile of a glob of foam while being at the bank of the river Ganges to explain deep Dhamma. We have provided links to the sutta in both Sinhala and in English.
