    i listened to the first three lectures & found them very good due to the emphasis placed on "letting go". the Buddha naturally taught this is just one sentence (rather than in fifty minutes)

    the lectures could also be titled: "How a mother or grandmother should talk to children & grandchildren".

    i found Ayya's manner of speech quite beautiful. firm, rational, very loving & gentle, although a little over-coddling

    a pleasure to listen to. like listening to the grandmother i never had :)

    Thanks for posting; she is such a lovely teacher!
    "a little over-coddling"?
    This world of crying and whining children breaking toys is desperately in need of such a grandmother!

    Ayya Khema was great. I miss her.
