Really good teachings. Thanks.

Bhante Bodhidhamma is great! I've really benefited from his teachings.

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.
