(A large part had to be edited out due to technical difficulties) 

A 4-part Buddhist Relationship series from May 16th – May 27th, 2020 

Most Ven. Bhante Vimalaramsi Mahathero presents for us a 4 Talk Series from his present Lockdown location in Arpola-GOA, India. This will help us create more harmony within our relationships during the COVID-19 Lockdown time which has been difficult for everyone. For background on Bhante Vimalaramsi and Ven. Khanti Khema, you can link over to www.dhammasukha.org . The series is presented on ZOOM over a two week period. Each session will start with a short Q&A Capsule by Mataji (no more than 20 minutes long) followed by Ven. Bhante Vimalaramsi presenting a one hour subject talk. The subjects are 1. What is Meditation? 2. What is Mindfulness? 3. What is the 8-Fold Path? And 4. How can we practice all the time in life to help us stop reacting and start responding better in Relationships? Following each session, you are asked to send in questions by email to sisterkhema@dhammasukha.org with the subject line saying “SERIES TALK ONE QUESTION” we will provide Bhante’s answers for you in written email replies. The next session will begin with a 20 min capsule summary before the next 1 hr talk proceeds. This will be the pattern for presentation.
