Tonight both Amy and I attended the invitation to enter the Vassa ceremony at BMBMC. This year, Sayadaw U Vimalacarabhivamsa had accepted BMBMC invitation to enter Sayadaw’s 34th Vassa at the centre.

In the shoirt Dhamma talk, Sayadaw advises us to constantly practise what was taught to us by the Buddha, namely to practise Dana, Sila and Bhavana. If we do not practise these three things, said Sayadaw, then we will not perform them.

Consequently, it will then lead us further down into suffering. However, if we had keep up with the practises, then eventually we will succeed in our quest to achieve our goal in eradication of the kilesa and realised Nibbana.

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
