Hi All :
Can anybody point me to an Apple iCal file (.ics) that shows the 2013 Uposatha Observance Days? I found the 2012 version on the Access to Insight site but can't seem to find the 2013 version...
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
With gratitude :
Sun

Observer of the Observer
A question that has been floating about in my mind lately:

Re: Becoming
Thank you all for your thoughtful responses; they are much appreciated. _/\_ I stumbled on an excellent Dhamma talk by Ajahn Brahm today (link to it below) and one quote in particular struck a chord with me: Attachment is born by the illusion of ownership. The talk: http://www.theravada-dhamma.org/b...

Re: The obligatory Dhamma themed movie thread
i've been interested in this movie but wary as from the trailer i don't see dhamma. can you specify what is dhamma in it? "Whether a tree, a mountain or an animal (or the movie Samsara), it's all Dhamma, everything is Dhamma." — Ajahn Chah (with a slight remix by Sun). :) A potent movie, ...
