Thank you, Bhante. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu. These presentations are quite absorbing. I lGoogled those sculpture gardens with the scenes from hell realms, and they seem to be a popular tourist attraction in Thailand and elsewhere. Personally, I prefer mini golf.

Sadhu sadhu sadhu. I find the various traditionally important numbers fascinating. Is the meaning lost of all of such numbers? I’ve read in some translations of sutta that very large numbers were used to give an impression of infinite. That the language of the time did not have such a word. And of course there are quite a few parables in the canon which convey the vastness of the infinite. The number 84,000 does seem very specific. Being 7x 12,000.

1st ruler in history to protect animals...what about kind david and Solomon
Dietary restriction isnt really the same?
Animal sacrifice was a common practice in David and Solomon’s time. Where did you get the idea that they protected animals?
