Скачать или смотреть MN 82's Profound Dhamma Reflection on Impermanence and Non-Attachment for TWIM Practice By Sachin G.

Wednesday 10 December 2025
Sachin Gudas and others read and discuss Majjhima Nikāya, MN 82 – Raṭṭhapāla Sutta, a profound reflection on renunciation and impermanence.
Further insight and clarification were supported by TWIMBot, a specialized version of ChatGPT trained on the teachings of Bhante Vimalaramsi and the book The Path to Nibbāna by David Johnson, ensuring alignment with Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM) practice.

Summary of the Sutta:
This discourse tells the inspiring story of Venerable Raṭṭhapāla, a young man from a wealthy and privileged family who chooses the path of renunciation—not because of personal suffering or loss, but due to his deep insight into the impermanent and unsatisfactory nature of worldly life.

The sutta unfolds in two main parts:
1. Raṭṭhapāla’s Ordination – His unwavering determination to go forth into homelessness, even in the face of emotional resistance from his parents and friends.
2. His Return and Teachings – Now an arahant, Raṭṭhapāla returns home, gracefully declines attempts to bring him back to lay life, and shares four profound Dhamma reflections that motivated his renunciation:
• Life is unstable and swept away
• Life has no shelter or protector
• Life has nothing truly of its own
• Life is incomplete, insatiate, and driven by craving

Through verses and a dialogue with King Koravya, Raṭṭhapāla vividly illustrates the path to liberation through wisdom and non-attachment.
This session offers both textual study and practical insight, supporting deeper understanding for TWIM practitioners and anyone interested in the Buddha’s path to freedom.
