Really good teachings. Thanks.
What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.

Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.

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.
