THE HARM OF INSULTING DHAMMA TEACHERS AND THEIR DISCIPLES

Sutta Meditation Series

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. Blessings of the Triple Gem - In today’s uposatha Dhamma session we examine “THE HARM OF INSULTING DHAMMA TEACHERS AND THEIR DISCIPLES” based on the Buddha’s teaching to Venerable Dhammika in the Dhammika Sutta (AN 6.54). In this teaching, the Buddha highlights the harm that we can do to ourselves and to others, if we insult, scold and argue with spiritual teachers and disciples of other religions or traditions or with noble disciples of the Buddha. Some of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to: — Akkosaka Sutta (AN 5.211) — Dhātusosaṁsandana Sutta (Iti 78) — Vatthūpama Sutta (MN 7) — Anumāna Sutta (MN 15) — Anaṅgaṇa Sutta (MN 5) — Sattasūriya Sutta (AN 7.66) — Mūgapakkhajātaka (Ja 538) — Kuddālajātaka (Ja 70) — Hatthipālajātaka (Ja 509) — Mahāgovinda Sutta (DN 19) — Sunetta Sutta (AN 7.73) — Paṭhamakhata Sutta (AN 4.3) — Hāliddakāni Sutta (SN 22.3) — Puggala Sutta (AN 9.9) — Gūthakhādakapetavatthu (Pv 43) — Dhātuvivaṇṇapetavatthu (Pv 35) — Acinteyyasutta (AN 4.77) — Dhammaññūsutta (AN 7.88) — Kokasunakhaluddakavatthu (Dhp 125) — Maṇikārakulūpakatissattheravatthu (Dhp 126) — Voropita Sutta (AN 6.87) — Suppabuddhasakyavatthu (Dhp 128) — Kokālikasutta (SN 6.10), (AN 10.89) — Turūbrahmasutta (SN 6.9) — Kokālikavatthu (Dhp 363) — Kacchapa Jātaka (Ja 215) — Akkosa Sutta (SN 7.2) — Chaddantajotipālārabbhapañha (Mil 5.5.6) — Byasana Sutta (AN 11.6) — Sikkhāsutta (AN 5.5) — Dutiyalakuṇḍakabhaddiya Sutta (Ud 7.2) Bohoma pin (much merit) to those who requested this talk.
