Ajahn Brahmali and Ayya Karunika are teaching sutta SN 5.9 and 5.10 from the Saṁyutta Nikāya: the Selā Sutta – With Selā and Saṁyutta Nikāya: the Vajirā Sutta– With Vajirā.
Read SN5.9 here on Sutta Central:
"Māra asks the nun Selā about who has created this “puppet”, i.e. the form that has been reincarnated. She replies that there is no creator, but it arises as a result of conditions, like the growing of a seed in a field.,” Sutta Central.
Read SN5.10 here on Sutta Central:
"Māra asks the nun Vajirā about who has created this being. Recognizing him, she points out that the word “being” is nothing more than a convention used to designate the aggregates, just as the word “cart” is used when the parts are assembled.," Sutta Central.
Ajahn Brahmali and Ayya Karunika will look at both Bhante Sujato and Bhikkhu Bodhi's translations below:
SN5.9 Bhante Sujato
SN5.9 Bhikkhu Bodhi
SN5.10 Bhante Sujato
SN5.10 Bhikkhu Bodhi
