Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. Another session to accompany the fourth module in the Youth Dhamma Gradual Teachings series looking into Buddha's Gradual Instructions to Lay People on DANGER IN SENSUAL PLEASURES (kāmānaṁ ādīnavaṁ) In this session, we do a GUIDED MEDITATION together - SIMPLIFIED POTALIYA SUTTA - CONTEMPLATING EACH OF THE SIMILES FOR SENSUAL PLEASURES, which are:   — Meatless Bone (skeleton)  — Piece of Meat  — Blazing Grass Torch  — Charcoal Pit  — Dream  — Borrowed Goods  — Fruits on a Tree  NOTE - this is a simplified guided meditation of the powerful meditation that is given in the Potaliya Sutta To begin, we clarify our intention with this meditation and rouse some energy through our conviction (saddha) towards the Buddha. Then we contemplate each of the similes in the sequence given in the Potaliya Sutta. We bring the Buddha's words to mind, meditate on that, then bring in our own examples to connect with this Dhamma.  This guided meditation helps with learning how to correctly contemplate the similes for sensual pleasures to correct our view, and to gradually see the danger in our strong desire for sensual pleasures. If we regularly practise this meditation, become skilled in it on our own, it can have a powerful effect not just in formal meditation, but also in daily life. And it is very good for developing more wisdom towards the Dhamma Path. We can apply this meditation as we go about our daily lives and in all postures (sitting, walking, standing, wakefully lying down) An electronic copy of the "Slide summarising the Buddha's seven similes for sensual pleasures from the Potaliya Sutta (MN 54)", discussed in this Dhamma Session has been posted (and pinned) to the Sutta Meditation Series Telegram channel (https://t.me/suttameditationseries) A VIDEO of this GUIDED MEDITATION has been published to the Sutta Meditation Series YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6PE8udI6Fg Blessings of the Triple Gem.
