Date: 07/04/2023

Ven Canda and Ven Upekkha lead the discussion on the 7 conditions for social harmony and non-decline from the book “The Buddha’s teachings on Social and Communal Harmony” (pg 119) by Bhikkhu Bodhi. Here, the Buddha addresses a group of Licchavis, also known as the Vajjis, the name given to the people from a democratic society that existed at the time. The Buddha also preaches the 7 conditions for harmony in a monastic community. This inspiring discussion with the online participants include aspects of loneliness, on heeding virtuous elders, on the natural development of each other’s spiritual qualities, the aim of monasticism, and the differences and similarities with the lay life.
