Ajahn Sumedho at PFOD tonight

Post by JMGinPDX »

Hi friends,

I'm not sure how many here live in the PacNW or in the Portland area specifically, but Ajahn Sumedho will be making a very rare appearance at the Portland Dhamma Center tonight, Friday 7/7/17, from 6:00pm-8:00pm PT.
He is on an increasingly-rare trip to the USA right now and this will be his only stop in this area, and I think one of his only public teaching events during the trip.

For those who can't attend, I'll be filming the event and will publish this weekend to the PFOD YouTube channel, linked below in my signature.

That would be very much appreciated thank you!

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Thank you. I would love to come, but I live in Indiana, USA. Thank you for making the event available to those of us who live far away. Ajahn Sumedho is a true inspiration.

Thank you for this! I look forward to watching :)
"People often get too quick to say 'there's no self. There's no self...no self...no self.' There is self, there is focal point, its not yours. That's what not self is."

Ninoslav Ñāṇamoli
Senses and the Thought-1, 42:53

"Those who create constructs about the Buddha,
Who is beyond construction and without exhaustion,
Are thereby damaged by their constructs;
They fail to see the Thus-Gone.

That which is the nature of the Thus-Gone
Is also the nature of this world.
There is no nature of the Thus-Gone.
There is no nature of the world."

Nagarjuna
MMK XXII.15-16

One additional treat for everyone - the Q&A session from the same visit to PFOD. It contains almost as much wisdom as the dhamma reflection :)
