Level Three
Pali Sutta Study
Taught by Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi
“At this level we take short suttas from the Saṃyutta Nikāya and explain them word for word. The second part of each class takes verses from the Dhammapada and explains them line by line. I skipped over a few of the more difficult verses. Included is a subfolder with explanations of several suttas from the Majjhima Nikaya, and a subfolder on the Itivuttaka, which we started in June 2018. This folder contains recordings of the classes on the short Saṃyutta Nikāya suttas, the Dhammapada, the Itivuttaka, and still other texts. I suggest starting with the Samyutta and Dhammapada, then, afterward, the Mahaparinibbana and Itivuttaka.” ~ Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi
