Title: How to Listen to Sermons ?
Post by: gus on October 05, 2018, 11:38:25 AM

Quote from: A Poem of Venerable Great Poet Vidagama Mahathero (15th Century)

Do not listen to a sermon seated on the floor while the preacher is standing.
Do not listen to it with a confused mind seated on a higher seat than the preacher.
When someone is preaching, listen attentively with interest.
It is such hearing of the Dhamma that holds the prospect of heavenly bliss and the bliss of emancipation.
