With a group of teens visiting the monastery on a weekend retreat, Ajahn Pasanno explains the Buddha's reasoning behind having the lay community periodically take eight precepts for “a day and a night.” He then gives a clear, detailed talk on the meaning, the nature, and the types of dukkha, and on the practical ways the Four Noble Truths can liberate us from it. This talk was offered on August 29, 2015 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery. Download File
