Dear Friends,
I just completed reading the new translation of the Anguttara Nikaya (Numerical Discourses of the Buddha)
translated by Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi. As I read these discourses I highlighted those discourses that I find particularly relevant to my life as a monastic. I would like to begin taking each one of these short discourses and reading them, and then having some discussion about them. I am writing to ask if anyone is interested in participating in a Google Hangout in which I would read a discourse and then offer some discussion of my own and then open it up to comments and questions from those who choose to join the Google Hangout. Please let me know if this is something you would like to try.

with friendliness,
Ayya Dipa
