21 Pamadavihari Sutta - How to Meditate on Vigilance and Negligence

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

This is a Dhamma Talk on the Pamādavihārī Sutta (SN35.97) - The Buddha's Discourse on Dwelling Negligently. It was delivered on 4 July 2020 to a meditation group with practitioners residing across the globe.

During this Dhamma talk we:

- looked at the definitions of pamāda and appamāda

- provided some context around why vigilance is important in the Buddha's teachings

- reviewed the sutta and why we need to practice vigilance

- examined the sense faculties, organs and sense objects, and

- meditated on each sense faculty to see know what leads to negligence, and what leads to vigilance.
