Asalha Puja

Postby Khalil Bodhi » Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:32 am

Dhamma Brothers and Sisters,

Happy Asalha Puja Day! Today is traditionally taken to be the date of the Lord Buddha's first discourse. I hope you don't mind me sharing what I find to be the most inspiring rendition thereof here: http://www.pirith.org/download/Dhammachakka.mp3. May we all reap great benefit! Sukhitaa hontu!

Full Moon Uposatha

Postby Khalil Bodhi » Fri Dec 09, 2011 2:31 am

It's been some time since I posted the uposatha day but, if no one minds, I'd like to start again on a regular basis. Saturday will be the New Moon Uposatha.
Here is a link to our FB group http://www.facebook.com/events/158963420870657/ and I also stumbled across a video by Bhante Yuttadhammo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZO6NbI9 ... detailpage
