HOW DOES SADNESS ARISE FROM SENSUAL PLEASURES? - Dhamma Q&A
Description
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
A question received in relation to our examination of the Four Nutriments and Going the Four Wrong Ways:
“From the recent video on sadness, I can recognize sadness associated with having been born and subject to old age, sickness and death. What I want to understand more is the process that happens to create more sadness through turning to sensual pleasures. Is it possible to explain this process in more detail? Is there a meditation for this?”
To answer the question we :
- — go into a helicopter view of greed, hatred and delusion to understand the process results in sadness arising
- — take a deeper dive using more of the Four Nutriments, hindrances to understand this process better
Some of the suttas that are directly or indirectly referred to:
- — Suttavebhaṅgiya (Pe 9)
- — Āhāra Sutta (SN 12.11)
- — Sabbāsava Sutta (MN 2)
- — Vipallāsa Sutta (AN 4.49)
- — Nibbuta Sutta (AN 3.55)
