WHY IS ENVY A BLOCK TO IMMEASURABLE COMPASSION? — Dhamma Q&A

Sutta Meditation Series

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

Following on from our Dhamma session on the Second Doorway to Nibbana - Painful Practice with Quick Realisation, we examine why envy is a block to developing Immeasurable Compassion.This is a good example of the power of abandoning defilements or mental stains, as we have been practiing with the Vatthūpama Sutta (MN 7) and Anumāna Sutta (MN 15). Some of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to:

• — Vatthūpama Sutta (MN 7)
• — Anumāna Sutta (MN 15)
• — Abhinanda Sutta (SN 22.29)
• — Āneñjasappāya Sutta (MN 106)
• — Asubha Sutta (AN 4.163)

Bohoma pin (much merit) to the person who asked this question.
