Dear friends of Dhamma,

The teleconference on Saturday, October 18, 2008, 7:00PM-9:00PM (EST), will be conducted in the form of a Dhamma Deshana by Ven. P. Maithree from Great Lakes Buddhist Vihara, MI, USA.

The topic for the Dhamma Deshana will be: “Buddhist Exposition on Personality Development”. ["Rahula, develop a mind similar to fire, when you develop a mind similar to fire arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of your mind and stay. Rahula, fire burns the pure and the impure, burns excreta, urine, saliva, pus, and blood. Fire does not loathe that, in the same manner develop a mind similar to fire. When you develop a mind similar to fire, arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of the mind and stay." -- Lord Buddha to Rahula Thero]
