Tan Dhammavidu - Third Hong Kong Meditation & Dhamma Talk - 13th of July, 2015 

Tan Dhammavidu - The Third Hong Kong Meditation & Dhamma Talk - 13th of July, 2015
The third of the six Hong Kong talks.
Things got very interesting from day three onward. Tan Dhammavidu, having dispensed with the practical stuff in the first couple of talks, thereafter took us into the philosophy and psychology of Buddhism.
In this talk, we are introduced to the principal of impermanence, "Anicca", which states that everything is impermanent, and is the foundation of Buddhism. Buddhism takes that idea into the realm of the individual, and states that therefore there is nothing in us that is permanent, "Anatta".
1:19 PART ONE
The five Buddhist Precepts
- To abstain from killing
- To abstain from taking what is not given
- To abstain from sexual misconduct
- To abstain from false speech
- To abstain from taking mind altering substances
8:35 PART TWO
The Buddhist principal of Impermanence
- Anicca - Everything is impermanent
- Anatta - There is no permanent Self or Soul
45:55 End Credits
This talk has been edited. Like the previous day, more new people came to attend the session, so the meditation instruction given the previous two days was again repeated. And so that section has been omitted from this video. Other than that, the talk is complete and unaltered in any significant way. Any other small edits are only for the purpose of clarity and ease of understanding.
TAN DHAMMAVIDU
THE HONG KONG MEDITATION & DHAMMA TALKS - JULY 2015
Tan Dhammavidu is a British Buddhist Monk.
He has been giving Meditation and Dhamma
instruction in Thailand, for the last twenty Years.
His name literally means, "The Revealer of
The Dhamma". In July 2015, he left his Thai
forest home, to do his revealing in Hong Kong.
It was the first time in fifteen years he had
left Thailand, had ever visited Hong Kong, or
ever given his talks, outside of a Buddhist centre.
He gave instruction on Buddha's Meditation
method - Anāpānasati and Buddha Dhamma -
the correct way of life, according to Buddhists.
There was also group Meditation practice,
question & answer sessions, & even some
Suka, helping offset all the talk about Duka.
Tan Dhammavidu declined any payment
for his considerable labors & attendance to
the talks was made available for free, to all.
