Dharmabytes: The Buddha’s Instant Response

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 21 Mar, 2024 - 10:00

The Buddha and Ananda once tended a sick monk, neglected by his companions because of his ‘uselessness’. Sangharakshita shows that people cannot be treated as ‘things’ in the spiritual community.

From the talk A Case of Dysentry given in 1982 as part of the series Incidents from the Pali Canon.
