Upawana Sutta – Part 03 was conducted by Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero at Mitirigala Nissaranavanaya monastery during April 2015. Upawana Sutta is a valuable discourse based on a discussion between Ven. Sariputta and Ven. Upawana. The Sutta focuses on the development of Bojjhanga, which are the seven factors of enlightenment.

In this Upawana Sutta – Part 03, Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero continues on the explanation of Bojjhanga and the nature of the mind of a Yogi who develop up to that level.

This Sutta is from Book 5-1, Page 159 of Sanyukta Nikaya, Maha Vagga, Bojjhanga Sanyukta of Sutta Pitaka. Please click here to download a PDF file of the Sutta from Buddha Jayanthi Tripitaka.
