WHO ARE OUR ROLE MODELS? - Khujjutara, lay role model for our daughters (stream-enterer)

<p>Role models play an important part in all of our lives, whether we seek them out or not. And whether we walk the Buddhist Path or not, they can have the power to shape the direction we take and the ability to influence the decisions that follow on from there. For Buddhist practitioners, &nbsp;the Buddha is our most eminent role model, teacher and the Perfectly Enlightened One. And there are also many noble and great disciples of the Buddha.</p> <p>Today we will focus on lay woman disciples of the Buddha, and one in particular, <strong>Khujjutara, who was declared by the Buddha as his foremost female disciple in higher learning</strong> (having heard much or bahussuta) - AN1.260.</p> <p>In learning about such a noble being, we can delight in their lives and accomplishments; &nbsp;recognise the importance of seeing them as worthy role models; and use it as inspiration towards the Noble Eightfold Path.</p> <p>To access videos and shorter clips, you can go to the Sutta Meditation Series YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwrSrkvP4mJRPWyPGliNDuA</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suttameditationseries/message
