Why should we read the suttas? What do the suttas provide? How important are they? How can they inform my practice?Take the Pāli word kāya ("body"). Which aspect of this very experience right here and now does this word actually refer to? Is there a right way (and a wrong way) of understanding this? How do the Pāli suttas describe this phenomenon? Can these ancient texts help to show me what it was that the Buddha meant by the practice of kāyagatāsati ("mindfulness of the body") that supposedly leads to the end of suffering?
During our time together, we will examine the meaning of the word kāya in the suttas in order to establish a suitable theme for quiet contemplation/reflection/meditation. The day will conclude with a talk on the more general topic of the importance of the Pāli suttas for Buddhist practice, with an opportunity for questions and open discussion.
