Great Short Sermon From An Upasika From Jethavaranama Monastery ????????.

It is important to understand that when we refer to the Maha Sangha, we are not only talking about bhikkhus (monks) and bhikkhunis (nuns). The term also includes upasakas (lay males) and upasikas (lay females) who dedicate their lives to the Dhamma. By associating with these individuals, one is likely to reach the sotāpanna stage (the first level of enlightenment). Their sermons are valuable and helpful for gaining a deeper understanding of the Dhamma.
