GRATITUDE AND JOY FOR GOOD FRIENDS

<p><strong>Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.</strong></p> <p><em>As we come to the end of 2022, it's a good opportunity to reflect on how we've connected through the Buddha and his Teachings, and to honour the good friendship we've cultivated together. &nbsp;&nbsp;</em></p> <p>It's a time to express heartfelt gratitude and joy. (*Listen to the end if you can*) &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Blessings and good wishes, to all our brothers and sisters in Dhamma, as we close out the year and head into a new one. &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>May the Noble Eightfold Path unfold with ease and safety. May your spiritual faculties continue to sharpen. May wisdom grow. May the Path bear fruit. May your aspirations be fulfilled. &nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Some of the suttas covered directly or indirectly in this session:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>— Samacittavagga (AN 2.32)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Dutiyasiṅgala Sutta (SN 20.12)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Upaḍḍha Sutta (SN 45.2)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Kalyāṇamittādivagga (AN 1.71)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Dovacassatā Sutta (AN 6.115)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Dutiyasekha Sutta (Iti 17)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Kalyāṇamitta Sutta (SN 45.63)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Ādicca Sutta (SN 46.48)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Kisāgotamītherīgāthā (Thig 10.1)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Ṭhiti Sutta (AN 10.53) &nbsp;</li> </ul> <p><strong>**Bohoma pin (much merit) to everyone who contributed and supported with this Dhamma dana**</strong></p> <p><strong>The video of this Extract has also been published to the Sutta Meditation YouTube channel -&nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMduMK0Iytc</strong></p> <p>Blessings of the Triple Gem.
