This is a peer-group discussion on a discourse from the Pāli Canon. The group will read the sutta together, rotating with each person present reading a small section, followed by reflection and discussion. It is recommended that participants try to read one or more translations of the sutta beforehand.
This week, the group will be read MN 147 (The Buddha takes Rāhula with him to a secluded spot in order to lead him on to liberation.). You can find the translation here: SuttaCentral.
