Thank you Bhante. :anjali:

I found Ajahn Vajiro's dhamma talks on the website. I always liked his talks, and remember being on one of the retreats he led at Amaravati when it was suspended briefly so that we could meet and listen to Ajahn Jayasaro. That was in 2005. I hope that they record the Jayasaro talks as well - he rarely gives talks in English.
