MN 5 Unblemished - Sunday Sutta Series with Delson Armstrong

Mar 15, 2026 MN 5: Anaṅgaṇa Sutta – Unblemished

This sutta, found in the Majjhima Nikāya, explores the nature of mental blemishes and the importance of self-awareness in spiritual development. Ven. Sāriputta explains four types of individuals based on whether they are blemished or unblemished and whether they recognize their state. The key insight is that true virtue lies not in being free of flaws, but in recognizing them and striving to overcome them.
