Bhikkhu Bodhi: Greater Discourse in Gosinga, 3 of 3

In this podcast, the discussion revolves around a Buddhist Sutta where the Buddha's disciples share their views on the perfect monk capable of enlightening a secluded forest. Each disciple highlights their own strengths—whether it’s asceticism, psychic abilities, wisdom, or meditation skills—leading to different visions of the ideal monk. In the end, the Buddha emphasizes that the true ideal is a monk who, after collecting alms, dedicates themselves to meditation with steadfast resolve, striving to free their mind from impurities until they reach enlightenment. This underscores the significance of committed practice.
