Welcome to Mettā Lab @suttameditationseries
Mettā Lab is a weekly YouTube livestream Dhamma session on the Sutta Meditation Series channel to develop and intensify our loving kindness (mettā) practice. The focus is on developing *supramundane* loving kindness in accordance with the Buddha's teachings in the Pali Canon.
(1) We will begin with the Buddha's instructions on how to develop mettā in the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8)
(2) Then we will develop the First Doorway to Nibbana or Painful Practice with Slow Realisation which culminates in immeasurable mettā, based on the Asubha Sutta (AN 4.163) and Suttavebhaṅgiya (Pe 9). It also draws on what we learn in the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8)
(3) Then we will develop mettā with the seven enlightenment factors (bojjhangas), based on the Mettāsahagata Sutta (SN 46.54), which distinguishes the Buddha's teaching of mettā from all others. And liberation of mind by loving kindness (mettācetovimutti)
These are purposely "slow sessions" to gradually learn (or revise), develop and practise each step of these sutta meditations. Each session will be 1 to 1.5 hours duration. And during the session there will be short meditation periods. It may take a few weeks to complete each sutta meditation.
Mettā Lab is for beginners and meditators who wish to refresh and deepen their loving kindness practice. Everyone is welcome.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
We continue our Profitable Perceptions Series with Part VI: Perception of impermanence (aniccasaññā) explained in the Dutiyasaññā Sutta (AN 7.49).
* Please note this is part of an insight pathway we develop by applying this particular sequence of profitable perceptions from the Buddha. So how we develop the perception of impermanence is finely tuned to what we have already developed in the earlier profitable perceptions, as well as how it is framed with the mind shrinking away from gain, honour and praise.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
This question "Why does Buddhism talk so much about suffering?" is often asked by people who are not-so familiar with the Buddha's teachings and also people who are practising the Buddha's teachings and wish to help people who ask them this question. This was a recent offering to a kalyanamitta that might be of benefit to others. Wishing you well.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
In this Dhamma session, we wisely contemplate in a progressive way,
wholesome and unwholesome states (Kusala Sutta), blameable and blameless states (Sāvajja Sutta), inferior and superior states (Cūḷakammavibhaṅga Sutta), and dark and bright states with their counterparts (Chaḷabhijāti Sutta)referencing key teachings of the Buddha, to deepen our understanding of kamma. This will also enable us to grow in wisdom and deepen our understanding of wrong view and right view, and more importantly, we’ll be nourishing the right view that is “noble, taintless, supramundane, a factor of the path”.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
In this Dhamma session, we examine the Third Doorway to Nibbāna — Pleasant Practice with Slow Realisation (sukhā paṭipadā dandhābhiññā). This is the Buddha's medicine for Mental Volition as Nutriment. This is part of the supramundane path and practice.
This is a powerful insight pathway, and is suitable for those "who are not strongly prone to lust, hatred and delusion, and don't often experience pain and dejection born of lust, hatred and delusion".
We will be drawing on some of the meditations we have practised before. Consider these as pre-requisites to help with this Third Doorway to Nibbāna:
(1) Understanding of developing the Four Jhānas - https://tinyurl.com/38ejcbdz or https://tinyurl.com/y87ma9ea (2) Understanding the Four Nutriments (or Four Unprofitable Directions rooted in greed, hatred and delusion) - https://tinyurl.com/3aajdpza (3) Ability to purify the mind (Vatthūpama Sutta, MN 7 or similar) (4) Understanding the Exposition of the Elements (Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta, MN 140) - https://tinyurl.com/yfunf5n2 (5) Understanding the Pathway of Renunciation (Saḷāyatanavibhaṅga Sutta, MN 137) - https://tinyurl.com/5cm6u83u (6) Seven factors of enlightenment - https://tinyurl.com/ymcveve4 (Intro and Overview) and https://tinyurl.com/yfa9fhdz (Sīla Sutta (SN 46.3)In this session we look at:
— Pre-requisites for the 3rd doorway to Nibbāna — Recap of the Four Nutriments and Four Modes of Practice — What kind of spiritual faculties and powers are associated with this mode of practice? — What underpins this 3rd doorway to Nibbāna? — "Deep dive" into the insight pathway for pleasant practice with slow realisation — Recap of the meditation instructionsSome of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to:

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.This is an easy check, once we have developed the 10 skilled states through the insight pathway in the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8) and are radiating loving kindness to all living beings.
I like to call it the "stickiness" check. This is how we can diagnose if there are flaws in our metta practice. If so, we can go back to purify and ensure we truly have the 10 skilled states.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
In Part III of our Bojjhaṅga Series, we address some questions on developing the seven factors of enlightenment:
1. Is it possible to develop the bojjhaṅgas at work or while going about daily activities?
2. Can someone arouse the bojjhaṅgas without any desire for enlightenment?
3. Is it possible to develop the bojjhaṅgas by hearing the teachings of someone other than the Buddha?
4. How are bojjhaṅgas aroused through developing the other sutta meditations?
5. Can we develop the bojjhaṅgas in any order?
6. What is the difference between the enlightenment factors of tranquillity, concentration and equanimity?
7. Once we develop the bojjhaṅgas, what is developed beyond them?

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
A short extract from the FULL Dhamma session on "The progressive development of the Seven Factors of Enlightenment" based on the Sīla Sutta (SN 46.3) on 31 August 2023.This extract is only a *SUMMARY* OF THE PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEVEN FACTORS OF ENLIGHTENMENT. Just as in the Kūṭāgāra Sutta (SN 46.7) with the simile of all the rafters of a peaked house that slant, slope, and incline towards the roof peak, if we are developing and cultivating the bojjhangas correctly (in accordance with the Buddha's instructions), we slant, slope, and incline towards Nibbāna.
With wisdom developed through the bojjhangas, Nibbāna is our only goal.
