3:50 Bhante Sanathavihari explains that today is Poson Poya, commemorating the historic arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, a huge day for Theravada Buddhism. He gives a detailed recount and connects events then to trends now in Sri Lanka, including the relative prevalence of bhikkhuni ordination in Sri Lanka relative to other Theravada countries. Beginning at about 14:40, we took questions on a wide range of topics. Overall, I thought this was a great monk chat.
The children are calm because they do not have the craving, or need for American junk food culture.but if introduced, they are children and will eat it. In Buddhism the need for encouraging craving maybe should not be required. But introducing the dharma is beautiful at anytime bhante. In gratitude 🙏
