Dhamma Talk

At the request of some Malaysian and Singaporean students, who have been, and still are under ‘stay at home’ restrictions, I have done a couple of livestreams from Anandagiri in recent weeks. One is a Q and A session from my monks cabin, the other is a Vesakha Puja Dhamma talk and circumambulation next to our Chedi. Many participating found the joining of hearts and minds from around the world to be an uplifting experience.
