Dear friends of Dhamma,
The teleconference on Saturday, December 13, 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 "Alagaddupama Sutta" MN 22: This discourse was given by the Buddha at Savatthi. Bhikkhu Arittha misunderstood the Buddha's Teaching and maintained that the Buddha showed how to enjoy sensuous pleasure without jeopardizing one's progress in the Path. When the Buddha remonstrated with him for his wrong views he remained unrepentant. The Buddha then spoke to the bhikkhus on the wrong way and the right way of learning the dhamma, giving the simile of a snake catcher, and the simile of the raft.
