According to this Dhamma sermon, it’s impossible for a layman to tread the path to Nibbana. However I think if the Most Ven Thero encourages us to go the furthest possible on this path as a layman it would be better. The daana, seela, bhavana on top of contemplating the decay and impermanence of life, at least help us to have some sort of inner happiness during our old age. This is my personal view as a 70 yr old.
Your prospective is ok in this matter u have mentioned.As a layman it's possible to tread the path to nibbana. but it is cumbersome to do in the present lifestyle. Threre is lot of obstacles as laymans we have to face in path to nibbana. In this age I wish you the best for your inner peace. dont be delay. Dhamma is still 'Sandhittika'.
I really appreciate your wish for my inner peace. No , I don’t delay. I’m immersed in the Dhamma throughout the day as much as it’s possible. Thank you for your comment, godaak pin.
