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): 85th Meeting (June 27, 2009)


The teleconference on Saturday, June 27, 2009, 7:00PM-9:00PM (EST), will be moderated and led by Ven. Kudagammana Seelaratana Thero of Chicago Buddhist Vihara, IL, USA.


This Dhamma Discussion will be based on: Devadaha Sutta (Majhima Nikaya III - #101)
[
The Lord Buddha refutes the theories of the Jains — here called the Niganthas — an order of contemplatives flourishing in India during his time. Although on the surface this sutta may seem to be of strictly historical interest, it makes two important points that are very relevant to some common misunderstandings about Buddhism alive today.]
