Book excerpt: I am deeply indebted to the National Broadcasting System of Thailand for making these Sunday Dhamma Talks possible. May their valiant efforts continue to prosper with the efficacy of the merit accumulated from this Dhamma propagation. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Phra Khru Baitika Dr. Barton Yanathiro for serving as interviewer during these broadcasts and as the editor of this volume. May he also share in reaping the benefits of any merit generated. Finally, let me also express my deep gratitude to Phra Mah± Prasert Paññ±seμμho and Phra Natpakanan Guºaªkaro of the Wat Luang Phor Sodh Publication’s Office and to Phra Mah± Somchat and the Wat Luang Phor Sodh Audio-Visual Staff, as well as to my faithful Secretary Phra Mah± Chainipoj for their indispensable support in making this endeavor successful.
