We are pleased to present a short and yet a precise Sutta of the Lord Buddha. In this Sutta a person of a high cast comes to Buddha and asks whether the value and the benefits of the spiritual Path could be experienced in the present, here and now. In this Sutta the Buddha explains as to how it could be experienced – here and now by the ardent practitioner.

The Path can be experienced as when travelling to the mountains on a straight road. 

This Sutta was explained by Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero during a three day meditation retreat conducted at Auckland, New Zealand. Please click here to reach the web page of the Sutta
