THE BUDDHA'S ANTIDOTE FOR WAR

Sutta Meditation Series

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast

This is the Dhamma talk with Metta Centre (SYD) on "The Buddha's Antidote for War". This session was conducted via zoom on 18 August 2025.

Whether we find ourselves heading towards the next world war, or getting into physical fights, or an online battle infused with hate speech, or even verbal sparring with colleagues, friends or family, or simply the war that goes on in our mind, the Buddha has the antidote for all wars. In this session, we will look at what war means in the context of the Buddha's teachings, the challenges of getting pulled into different kinds of wars (in body, speech and mind), and explore the Buddha's antidote for all wars, which starts with the supramundane practice of loving kindness based on the Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8).
