The giving up of all evil; The cultivation of the good;
The cleansing of one's mind; This is the Buddha'a teaching.

Global Sinhala Dhamma Discussion Series (Teleconference): 51st Meeting (November 1, 2008)


Dear friends of Dhamma,

The teleconference on
Saturday, November 1, 2008, 7:00PM-9:00PM (EST), will be moderated and led by Ven. Y. Sankichcha from Great Lakes Buddhist Vihara, MI, USA.

This Dhamma Discussion will be based on: "Parabhava Sutta" (Sanyutta Nikaya 1.6) ["While the Mangala Sutta deals with the way of life conducive to progress and happiness, the Parabhava Sutta supplements it by pointing out the causes of downfall. He who allows himself to become tarnished by these blemishes of conduct blocks his own road to worldly, moral and spiritual progress and lowers all that is truly noble and human in man. But he who is heedful of these dangers keeps open the road to all those thirty-eight blessings of which human nature is capable."]
