The Pāli Suttas are an authoritative reference point for practice in the Theravāda traditions, including Insight. I’m pleased to facilitate this session in Kim Allen’s place, discussing specific passages and their relevance to our practice today.

Below, find some essential info from Kim’s site, including how to attend:

Connecting with the Early Buddhist texts becomes important at some point along a person's Dharma path. Kim Allen offers a weekly online sutta class on Fridays from 11am-noon Pacific called In This Very Life.
​
Knowledge of Pāli is not required; we read English translations. Nor is knowledge of suttas required -- just come and listen, and you'll begin to flow along with the class. We read the texts out loud, discuss them, and contemplate their connection to practice. The class moves at the pace of the discussion.

Please send email Kim, via her site, before joining.

Note: People in the class are expected (eventually) to become independent in being able to locate reliable translations online when simply given a reference, such as "MN 10." We often use Bhikkhu Bodhi's translations available in the books published by Wisdom, and it is also fine to use Bhikkhu Sujato's translations on SuttaCentral.net. We sometimes also use translations by Thanissaro Bhikkhu on Dhammatalks.org.
