Welcome to Dhammawheel, Shirley. Yours is an interesting bio. You were in Israel just a few years after I lived there.

MN 95 - Canki Sutta

Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi's illuminating discourse on the Canki Sutta:
Part 1
Part 2

It may be due to a technical issue with the original recording, and if that is the case this request is pointless, but otherwise if anyone has a link they can share to the long missing Bhikkhu Bodhi lecture on Renunciation from his excellent series of talks, A Study of the Pāramīs , I'd be grateful...

Sometimes the persistence and determination and energy used can be transformed to other wholesome activities. I have seen some studies that young people and teens who participate in sports teams and competitions are less likely to get into trouble, less likely to get pregnant (too early). Agreed. I...

"The particular myth that's been organizing this talk, and in a way the whole series, is the story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible. The civilization we live in at present is a gigantic technological structure, a skyscraper almost high enough to reach the moon. It looks like a single world-w...

I am going to be helping create some guided meditations and I was curious what features people appreciate having. Specifically, do you like having a measured silent portion after the guided part so you can time the rest of your meditation? Like 30min/45min/60min versions? Personally, I don't really...

To what realm of rebirth in Kamaloka do these beings belong, if any at all? The Nagas, Kumbhandas, Gandhabbas, and Yakkhas are tied in service each to one of the four Heavenly Devas of the Catumaharajikadeva loka who stand in guard of Sakka's Realm. (See Ven. Pesala's post.) Both the Nagas and Kumb...
