Illuminating talk on the ‘Dhammapada’

The lecture hall was filled with devotees and students eager to learn the wisdom contained in the poetic verses of the ‘Dhammapada’.

On Friday 3 March, Bro. Tan began a series of Dhamma teachings based on the Pāli-Language ‘Dhammapada’ at the Buddhist Maha Vihara Kuala Lumpur to a warm welcome and enthusiastic reception.  The P. H. Hendry Memorial Hall was filled to the brim by more than 200 devotees and students who attended the elucidating lecture.

In his inaugural talk, Bro. Tan discussed verses 188 to 192 of the ‘Dhammapada’, which essentially emphasize the importance of ‘taking refuge’ in the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha.  He clearly explained what it means by ‘going for refuge’, and how it helps us in gaining spiritual clarity, progress, and awakening.
