Six Things That Are Unsurpassed (AN6:30) - Sutta Discussion | Ajahn Canda | 10th July 2026

Blurb: In this session, Ajahn Candā reads and guides discussion on a sutta that compares two kinds of sights, sounds, gains, training, service, and recollections–those that are worldly and frequently unhelpful, and those that help lead us to the highest benefit of Nibbana. Timestamps: [0:00] Unhelpful and superior sights [12:15] The danger of hearing wrong views [17:08] Knowing what is for your benefit [23:21] Unsurpassed gains and training [31:47] The default way the world trains us [37:22] The value of service [43:22] Right and wrong view: do we have to avoid those with different views from us? [53:14] Recollecting the Buddha’s qualities Sutta reference: AN 6.30: Unsurpassed Things https://suttacentral.net/an6.30/en/su... ✨ Anukampa Grove is our new Bhikkhuni residence: the first of its kind in the UK!

ABOUT US: Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project was founded in 2016 by Ven Canda and Ajahn Brahm. The charity aims to spread the Buddha's teachings and give women the opportunity to practice as bhikkhunis for the first time in UK history, by establishing a monastic residence for bhikkhunis. This second aim was accomplished in March 2024, when we procured a property in a secluded woodland hamlet near Oxford, called Anukampa Grove, where Ven Canda now resides. Donations of any amount are gratefully received and help support the monastics' requisite needs and cover our running costs, either as one-off gifts or standing orders.
