HOW TO CONTEMPLATE NEGLIGENCE VS VIGILANCE THROUGH EACH SENSE FACULTY (Extract from Full Dhamma Session)
Description
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
This is an EXTRACT from the Full Dhamma Session on the Pamādavihārī Sutta (SN 35.97) - SAFEGUARDING THE MIND BY DWELLING WITH VIGILANCE. It was delivered on full moon poya (uposatha) on 4 July 2020 via Zoom to a meditation group.

This specifically outlines how to meditate on each sense faculty (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind) to understand the difference between dwelling with negligence (pamādavihārī) vs dwelling with vigilance (appamādavihārī).
In your meditation, it is very good to take your own examples, and in this extract from the full Dhamma session, we look at a few examples for each sense faculty.
This is an encouragement to learn this sutta meditation, and to gradually put this into practice in daily life.
