” What you are is what you have been.
What you’ll be is what you do now ”
– Buddha –
Suttas are discourses attributed to Gautama Buddha, the enlightened teacher whose teachings form the foundation of Buddhism.
The Sutta Pitaka is the second of three sections of the Tipitaka or Pali Canon which is a collection of Buddhist texts on Theravada Buddhism. The other two sections are the Vinaya Pitaka and the Abhidhamma Pitaka. Discourses from the Sutta Pitaka deal with a variety of topics including moral rules, legends, monastic life, Buddhist principles such as dependent origination and much more.
Learning these Suttas can greatly deepen your intellectual understanding of the Dhamma, and thereby inspire you towards a pure and wholesome Dharmic existence through the practical application of the Dhamma teachings in your day-to-day life.
The Sutta Pitaka contains more than 10,000 suttas (discourses) delivered by Lord Buddha and his close disciples. You will learn these suttas including key Buddhist suttas such as the Sigalovada Sutta which discusses ethics and practices for lay followers, and the Karaniya Metta Sutta which was Lord Buddha’s words on loving kindness.
These evening classes offer an in-depth exploration of selected Suttas, providing a more intimate setting for discussion and reflection.
Our Sunday Sutta Sessions provide a serene and contemplative space to delve into key Suttas, enabling you to absorb their transformative insights and apply them to your daily life.
