Two more recorded live-stream gatherings

Greetings fellow practitioners,

Each Wednesday evening during the past month I’ve been having a livestream zoom gathering with people who’ve done retreats or who have been on pilgrimage with me, or who are long term supporters of Anandagiri forest monastery.  Between 90-110 dhamma friends have been joining. We’ve done some chanting, a guided meditation and then there is a Q and A session.  Some helpers (thanks JC and Mike!) have helped to edit the Q and A so that these can be shared more broadly.  

Unfortunately we cannot open up the meeting too broadly, as there are certain security risks and it is wiser to keep it at this manageable level, and to include only participants who are well known to the meeting hosts.  But we are very glad to be able to share the Dhamma discussion via this website
and my YouTube channel.

Below is a list of the questions which were asked. 

I hope that something shared is useful to you at this time, wherever you are.

With Loving-kindness 

Ajahn Achalo Bhikkhu
