Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
Following the talk on poya on Buddha's Advice to Lay People on Stream Entry, a question has been raised:
"Virtue or moral conduct (sīla) is encouraged throughout the Buddha’s teachings. I was wondering if perfect virtue is a requirement for stream entry?”
To answer the questions the following suttas were directly or indirectly referenced:
- — Dutiyasāriputta Sutta (SN 55.5)
- — Dutiyagilāna Sutta (SN 35.75)
- — Sammādiṭṭhi Sutta (MN 9)
- — Akusala Sutta (AN 10.136)
- — Sīlabbata Sutta (AN 3.78)
- — Kukkuravatika Sutta (MN 57)
- — Mahāsāropama Sutta (MN 29)
- — Sīla Sutta (AN 5.213)
