Ratana Sutta True Refuge July 19 2018

This is a live stream and recording of our Thursday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on July 19, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.

My Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion is on the the Ratana Sutta. In this sutta the Buddha teaches the meaning of taking true refuge in the Buddha, his Dhamma, and a well-informed Sangha.

“Those whose karma is extinguished, the future of no concern, with rebirth ending, due to the support of the sangha, this is the precious jewel of the sangha." (Ratana Sutta)
