MN 152 The Development of the Faculties - Indriyabhāvanā Sutta
This is a useful
discourse on the supreme
development of the five
sense faculties.
Essentially, the Buddha
describes how to control
the mind’s reactivity to
agreeable, disagreeable
and indifferent
formations so that one
can be established in
equanimity. The
discourse contains many
very good similes. |

In this discourse, the
Buddha talks about his
many superior qualities,
including a list of ten

MN 112 The Sixfold Purity - Chabbisodhana Sutta
If someone claims to
have attained final
knowledge, the Buddha
expounds on how that
person should be
questioned, and on what
the nature of his or her
answer should be. The
discourse includes an
indepth description of
the Buddha’s liberated
mind, thereby showing
every possible way that
clinging can arise and
be extinguished.

MN 105
To Sunakkhatta -
Sunakkhatta Sutta
The Buddha discusses
with Sunakkhatta the
problem of someone
overestimating his or
her level of attainment.
He is basically saying
that if one really knows
the cause of bondage
(which is craving), then
one would not do things
that arouse one’s mind
toward any object of
attachment. There are
those who say they are
intent only on Nibbāna
but their actions are
not congruent with their
statement. This is a
very good basic
prescription from the
Surgeon (the Buddha),
which is essentially the
heart of the teaching on
how to heal the wound of
suffering. |

106 The Way to the
Imperturbable - Āneñjasappāya Sutta
The Buddha explains the
approaches to various
levels of higher
meditative states
culminating in Nibbāna.
He points out how one
can get caught in
clinging at any of these
levels. The
imperturbable refers to
the 4th jhāna and the
1st two immaterial
states. |

MN 70 At Kīṭāgiri - Kīṭāgiri
Sutta
While admonishing two monks, the Buddha asks them if they have ever known
him to give teachings that did not make wholesome states increase, and
unwholesome state decrease. He also tells them of the seven kinds of noble
persons in the world.

MN 98 To Vāseṭṭha - Vāseṭṭha
Sutta
The Buddha resolves a
dispute between two
young brahmins about
whether a true brahmin
is distinguished by
birth or action. This
discourse contains a
long series of stanzas
showing how a true
brahmin is the same as
an arahant (one
liberated from bondage
of action and result)
and that one’s actions,
not one’s birth, are
what determine
liberation. |

MN 38 The Greater
Discourse on the
Destruction of Craving
-
Mahātaṇhāsankhaya
Sutta
This is
an important discourse
on dependent origination
and the destruction of
craving. After
reprimanding the bhikkhu
Sāti about the view he
was
proclaiming—that the
same consciousness runs
through the round of
rebirths—
the Buddha explains from
every angle the correct
way to view dependent
origination, showing how
all phenomena of
existence arise and
cease through
conditions. |
