Sutta Study: The Failings of the World
The Lokavipatti Sutta teaches us how to be unshakeable amid life’s ups and downs.
Sutta Study
Sutta Study is a series led by insight meditation teacher Peter Doobinin, who leads us through the suttas that comprise the discourses the historical Buddha gave during his 45 years of teaching. Rather than philosophical tracts, the suttas found in the Pali Canon are a map for dharma practice. In this series, we’ll focus on the practical application of the teachings in our day-to-day lives.
