PROFITABLE PERCEPTIONS (PART VII) — Perception of not self in what is suffering

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

We continue our Profitable Perceptions Series with Part VII: Perception of not self in what is suffering (dukkhe anattasaññā) explained in the Dutiyasaññā Sutta (AN 7.49).

* Please note this is part of an insight pathway we develop by applying this particular sequence of profitable perceptions from the Buddha. So how we develop the perception of not self in what is suffering is finely tuned to what we have already developed in the earlier profitable perceptions, as well as how it is framed with developing a mind devoid of I-making, mine-making, and conceit regarding this conscious body and all external objects.

Some of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to:

— Rāgapeyyāla (AN 7.615-1124)

— Samādhi-bhāvanā Sutta (SN 22.5)
