The Dhamma is an affair of the heart and mind. When the words spoken are Dhamma and the intention to speak is Dhamma, then the people listening have to make their intention Dhamma, too...When these three factors come together, listening to the Dhamma gives rise to countless benefits. - Ajaan Lee

"The study of the Dhamma is like reading a cookbook. The practice of the Dhamma is like fixing food. The attainment of the Dhamma is like knowing the taste of the food.'" -The Teachings of Phra Ajaan Lee, pg. 13, 16 #dhamma #dharma #buddhism #bhikkhu #bhikkhuni #generosity #dana

"If some gives you a nice, fat, yel-low [sic] banana that’s sweet and fragrant but poi-sonous [sic], will you eat it? Most people will. They know that desire is poisonous, but they 'eat' it anyway." From "No Ajahn Chah: Reflections" page 179

Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho traveled to Sunnyvale, California to visit Ayya Santussikā and Ayya Cittānandā at Karuna Buddhist Vihara, lending a hand in their building process and laying a beautiful foundation of Dhammic solidarity between Theravadan bhikkhus and bhikkunis. 🌻
