Hey people, like the previous one, please do come and join if you're free. I'm hoping more people can benefit from talks like these. And abit about the speaker.



Bro Tan Ho Soon is a well-known friendly, approachable and knowledgeable Dhamma speaker. He is also very active in Nalanda Institute. He has a PhD in Pali Studies. Some of the stuff I know about him.



You know every week we chant, "Imina punna kammena, mame bala samagamo, satam samagamo hotu, yava nibbana pattiya". In English, "May we never follow the foolish, but only the wise, up till the time I attain Nibbana."



So it is an aspiration we make and the more we keep away from fools, the better. Please do make it if you're available.

Thank you.

With Metta,
Sui Yuan.
