Ajahn Brahm discusses sutta 128 of the Majjhima Nikaya: Upakkilesasutta – Imperfections. Read MN128 on Sutta Central here.  "A second discourse set at the quarrel of Kosambi, this depicts the Buddha, having failed to achieve reconciliation between the disputing mendicants, leaving the monastery. He spends time in the wilderness before encountering an inspiring community of practicing monks. There he discusses in detail obstacles to meditation that he encountered before awakening", Sutta Central. The BSWA is now using Ko-fi for donations.

Venerable Sunyo discusses sutta SN47.8 from the Saṁyutta Nikāya: the Sūda Sutta, Cooks and is using the translation from https://suttas.github.io/sn47.8. Read SN47.8 here on Sutta Central “The parable of the cook. They present different kinds of dishes to the king, and observe which the king likes. In the same way, a mendicant observes why their meditation succeeds or fails. When the four kinds of mindfulness meditation succeeds it leads to giving up hindrances and entering immersion.,” Sutta Central. The BSWA is now using Ko-fi for donations.
