Dhammagiri Buddhist Podcasts - A podcast by Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage

A recording of Dvayatānupassanā Sutta ('Contemplation of Pairs') from Suttanipāta ('Group of Discourses') 2.12, Verses #729 to #771.Chanted by Ajahn Dhammasīha in the ancient language Pāli, the language of the Buddha and the Theravāda Scriptures. The prose portions of the sutta are omitted, only the verses are chanted.This is one of Ajahn Dhammasiha's favourite suttas. An exposition of Paṭicca-Samuppāda ('Dependent Origination') expressed in beautiful poetry, showing the Buddha in his supreme mastery of conveying an exceedingly difficult and profound subject in metric verses. The text also provides some interesting variations and additions to the standard 12 or 10 link formula of dependent origination.An English translation by Ajahn Ṭhanissaro can be found here:https://accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/snp/snp.3.12.than.htmlwww.dhammagiri.org.auwww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw
