In the late 80s and early 90s, until his health deteriorated too much, Ajahn Buddhadāsa gave regular lectures during the international retreats held at Suan Mokkh and then Suan Mokkh International Dharma Hermitage. As these were given at the end of his life, they often focus on core concerns of Buddha-Dhamma. Tan Ajahn spoke in Thai and Santikaro Bhikkhu interpreted into English live.

This Dhamma lecture, 1/5 of the series, was given on 5^th February 1989.
