Apologies to all for the shortened video this week. A fault occurred with the microphone and the effected video has been deleted. Due to the microphone failure, Bhante is wearing a headset, which means we are unable to hear the questions.
Bhante Sangharatana joins the Armadale Meditation Group on-line live. Armadale Meditation Group (AMG) is designed to teach you about meditation. The classes generally begin with chanting the Metta Sutta, then receiving meditation instructions and meditating together, followed by asking questions and finally if time remains listening to a Dhamma talk. However, the layout can vary. Due to social distancing regulations, these weekly Tuesday night teachings are happening via Zoom from Bodhinyana Monastery.
