HOW SHOULD WE UNDERSTAND THE DHAMMA

Abstract

Buddhadasa: The assembly of those interested in the dhamma presided by the minister! I am invited here to deliver a lecture on dhamma in a dialogical style. That is, questions will be raised from as many angles as possible in order to promote understanding, which is different from debate as commonly understood. Therefore, please pay close attention. The appointed topic is 'How do you understand the dhamma?' However, it is unclear to whom 'you' refers. If it is the audiences, Ajam Kukrit and I have nothing to say, because it concerns each of the audiences himself. If it refers to us, Ajarn Kukrit and I will express our views. I will relate my views and Ajam Kukrit will raise questions to make interesting points clearer. However, I would like to modify the topic to be 'How should we understand the dhamma?'
