Whosoever serves the sick...
Hi everybody, I'm trying to find the canonical source of a great story that I heard cited in a Dhamma talk. There's a version of it on buddhanet.net: One day the Buddha visited a monastery. While he was there he came across a chamber where a monk lay in great pain caused by a loathsome disease. Alth...

Gratitude passage
I read an article where the Buddha was quoted as saying something like, "One without gratitude has no wisdom."
Can someone help me find the sutta that this passage comes from?

Re: Ajahn Chah biography in Portuguese
Que legal! Nem imaginei que houvesse uma biografia do Ajahn Chah no português...é uma tradução do texto inglês, ou uma obra original? Bem, muito obrigado...o melhor presente de todos é o do Dhamma!

Cambodian celebrations around this time of year
Hi all, I stopped by the wat in town last Sunday and was surprised to find it packed with people and with maybe five or six monks I had never seen before (the wat only has one permanent monastic resident.) I'm not aware of there being any special observance around this time. Does anyone have any ide...

Chant for offering food
Hi everybody!
I was curious to know what the gāthā recited when offering food are...I can't find it in Gunaratana''s vandanā book. Any help would be much appreciated, especially if the source includes the appropriate diacritics!
Blessings,
Clayton

Cambodian traditions to be aware of
Hi everybody!
I just found out that there's a Cambodian wat in my town, and I'm planning to go and pay my respects. Are there any cultural preferences or expectations I should be aware of that may be particular to Cambodian bhikkhus? I would hate to offend anyone.

Sutta Nipata Commentary
Hey all,
Any good English translations of the Sutta Nipata atthakatha? Can't seem to find it. I think the BPS only publishes the Pali.
