Really good teachings. Thanks.

Bhante Bodhidhamma is great! I've really benefited from his teachings.
“The unawakened mind tends to make war against the way things are. To follow a path with heart, we must understand the whole process of making war within ourselves and without, how it begins and how it ends."

yes... I do like the way he talks about the satipatthana sutta in the last talk (samatha/vipassana), although it is a bit lengthy (about an hr).. It kinda gives a thoughtful view on how both modern practices (samatha and vipassana) are in line with the Buddha's teaching and that either way or practice is looked upon as being skillful.
