Re: Ajahn Naniko: Monasticism, Lifestyle, Buddhism
It is a very good Dhamma discussion. I like the clarity of speech of Ahahn Naniko.
I wonder why he said monastery is a place of people who follow eight precepts (counter 0.50) not mentioning that monks are expect to follow ten precepts. I think it is important monk clarify this to lay people. I learned about this only by after joining Dhamma Wheel.
In counter 26.00 he brings a very contentious issue of charging money to teach Dhamma. I like his balanced view on this topic.
