Three Steps to Awakening

Date: 2024-06-06 Thursday

This week we’ll be exploring a wonderful sutta in the Numerical Discourses, which describes the  path in a way easy to digest and to fulfill. We’ll be offering this to clarify our journey forward, in a way that hopefully will be helpful to you.

The sutta is in the Book of Threes, 92 (1) Titled Urgent:

“So too, bhikkhus, there are these three urgent tasks of a bhikkhu. What three? (1) The undertaking of the training in the higher virtuous behavior, (2) the undertaking of the training in the higher mind, and (3) the undertaking of the training in the higher wisdom.”

We’ll explore these three, and some expansions of them later in this section of the Book of Threes, to see what light they shed on how we progress on the path.
