The Upāli Sutra Part 2
Channel: SF Dharma Collective
Date: 2023-06-29

MC continues teaching The Upāli Sutra, (aka Determining the Vinaya: Upāli’s Questions or Vinaya­viniścayopāli­paripṛcchā) using it as a jumping off point to discuss:
- the 3 realms (dhātu): the realm of desire realm (kāmadhātu), the realm of form (rūpadhātu), and the formless realm (arūpadhātu), and their relationship to the Dharmadatu.
and
- the 3 poisons: attraction (rāga), aversion (dvesha), and confusion (avidya) and their relationship to the precepts.
