Dhamma Transmission is based on mutual openness
Ajahn Sucitto
The Channa Sutta (S.22:90) shows how Bhikkhu Channa receives Dhamma through being open and welcomed – despite his bad reputation. The teaching he receives from Ven. Ananda points to the openness beyond affirmation or denial of conditioned existence. This instructs us to handle our intentions, interpretations and perspectives carefully without fixation.
