Leigh Brasington - The Psychic Powers - The Fifth Step of the Gradual Training

In October 2024, London Insight Meditation hosted Leigh Brasington for an online weekend workshop on “The Gradual Training to Awakening” as presented in the Samaññaphala Sutta. In this sixth talk of the workshop Leigh introduces us to what the Buddha said about the development of psychic powers, which is the next step on the gradual training following Insight practice.

You can find the complete Samaññaphala Sutta here, which provides the Buddha's own description of the steps and the lifestyle, mental, psychic and spiritual benefits of the Buddhist patch of practice: https://suttacentral.net/dn2/en/sujato.
