Disease and Development
From this videoconference talk from 31 January, 2020, Ajahn Anan discusses the development of the world, the spread of diseases, the Ratana Sutta, and other topics. Three excerpts: "...material development means that darkness in the mind also develops." "...if we are at the end and we have no other refuge, then we have to hold on to the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha as our highest refuge." "The Buddha had Ven. Ananda chant the Ratana Sutta, and well-being arose in the Licchavi Kingdom." Note: One can read this talk and others at the Wat Marp Jan 'Reflections' page, which also includes questions and answers with Ajahn Anan, which are not in the audio files.
