[31 Jan 1998] Three short suttas from the Samyutta Nikaya:
- Ogha-tarana Sutta (SN 1.1) — Crossing Over the Flood . The Buddha explains how he "crossed over the flood" of craving.
- Arañña Sutta (SN 1.10) — The Wilderness . Why do the monks living in the forest look so happy?
- Uttara Sutta (SN 2.19) — Uttara the Deva's son . Doing good and making merit: are these the best one can aim for in this short life?
- P.S.: Lots more suttas to come in February/March...
