My maternal grandparents raised me for the first 5 years of my life. I want to teach Dhamma to them in the simplest way possible so that they could attain the Sotapanna stage before they pass. I would appreciate any advice I could get here.

Where to Start on the Path?

A Buddhist or a Bhauddhayā?

I think these posts might help you.

The important thing is not to rush but to take your time and build a solid foundation from the basics.

Remember, learning Buddhism is a process that transforms everything, from a person’s worldview to their habits.

Thank you, Dosakkhayo.

• It also depends on the specific people in question. I guess that Taryal’s grandparents would have some ideas about kamma/kamma vipaka, but their ideas/understanding could be improved.
• It is best to start from a level of understanding they have and build up on that.

Thank you, dosakkhayo and Dr. Lal. My grandparents are Hindus so they do have a mundane understanding of rebirth, kamma, etc. I’m travelling to Nepal toward the end of this year and will only be there for about a month, so there is limited time for me to personally guide them in person. I believe that the Dhammachakkappavattana Sutta covers the concepts one needs to be a Sotapanna, right?

Yes. Any of the key suttas would do.

• The main point is realizing the unfruitfulness and danger of being trapped in the rebirth process.
