The Dīgha Nikaya (collection of long discourses of the Buddha) can be daunting to modern readers due to the sheer length of the individual discourses and the broad range of topics they address.  They are also quite cinematic and rewarding those who persist in reading them with stories of vibrant characters and colorful portrayals of life in ancient India.  
This year we will be studying the twenty-first discourse of the collection, Sakkapañha Sutta, over a series of sessions.  Participants are encouraged to study through the assigned course materials before each class. A live zoom group Q&A session with Bhante will be held twice a month. Please kindly submit your questions  at least one-day before each session to ads.patvh@gmail.com or a LINE group

《長部》是一部收錄了34篇經文的匯集,記錄了佛陀的廣泛教導,並詳細描述了受眾及其所處社會的狀況。由於篇幅龐大,加上古代印度群眾與我們之間存在漫長的歷史隔閡,研讀這些經文可能會讓人望而生畏。然而,正因其篇幅宏大且描述詳盡,對於願意付出必要努力的人來說,研讀這些經文將帶來特別豐厚的收穫。
今年,我們將以《長部》第二十一經——《帝釋所問經》(Sakkapañha Sutta)——作為本系列課程的研讀主題,分多次課程逐步學習。我們鼓勵所有學員於每次上課前,先閱讀指定教材。每月將舉行兩次由勝寶尊者主持的 Zoom 線上問答課程,歡迎大家踴躍提出問題。請於每次課程開始前至少一天提交問題。提問信箱: ads.patvh@gmail.com 或 LINE群

  • Currently Bhante is preparing the sutta excerpt in document form for the English and Chinese version. 勝寶尊者準備本課程所需的中、英文教材,包括:《帝釋所問經》選讀講義(英文版/中文版): Bhante’s docs
  • Pali Chanting audio of the Sutta by Bhante 尊者誦讀《帝釋所問經》巴利文音檔: DN21 Part 1_101226234.mp4
  • and the corresponding Pali text 對應尊者誦讀《帝釋所問經》的巴利文學習教材: DN21- Pali part 1

We sincerely welcome your suggestions and feedback throughout the course. 課程期間,我們也誠摯歡迎大家提供寶貴的建議與回饋,讓課程更加完善。

🙏Wishing everyone good health and peace of mind, progress in spiritual practice, and a heart filled with the joy of the Dhamma! 祝福大家身心安康、修行順利、法喜充滿!
