Discussion of Bhante Sujato’s An Introduction to Itivuttaka - week 2

Discussion

I loved the concept of approaching suttas on 4 levels - Literal, Moral, Metaphorical, and Transcendental. I also really liked the caution about getting too focused on just the moral (practical application) aspect of reading the suttas. I forget exactly how Bhante Sujato phrased it, but the idea was there is no reason to believe every sutta should have to teach you something about how to live your life.
