In this videoconference talk from 30 April, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses the topic of training in discipline, together with a story of venerable Upāli Thera.

"In times of disaster, during this world pandemic, we have to be careful. We have to have the 5 precepts to protect and look after our minds. And when we have sila, this sila will protect us to not fall to a place where we will receive suffering, difficulties and troubles. So we should know that being well-trained in discipline is one of the highest blessings of our life."
