Content / Description

Respect for the Dhamma. Not confusing Dhamma and teacher’s personality. Dhamma: the highest thing. Why the Dhamma is always given freely, Dhamma does not belong to anybody. The Sangha (community) of the Holy People. The outside formality and the inner attitude. Respecting us and other beings. Looking down on others. Using the mirror of the world. Working on us and not on others’ faults. Wrong views. Comparing us with others. The Path of Sila, Samadhi and Pañña, Respect; Generosity and Gratitude. Anicca, Anatta and Dukkha. Investigating the Five Khandhas. Determination, effort, endurance and patience. Grinding down the kilesas. What is NOT Samadhi. Anxiety.
