  • [31 Jan 1998] Three short suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya:
    • Ogha-tarana Sutta (SN 1.1) — Crossing Over the Flood. The Buddha explains how he "crossed over the flood" of craving.
    • Arañña Sutta (SN 1.10) — The Wilderness. Why do the monks living in the forest look so happy?
    • Uttara Sutta (SN 2.19) — Uttara the Deva's son. Doing good and making merit: are these the best one can aim for in this short life?
    • P.S.: Lots more suttas to come in February/March...
