Dhamma Talk by Ven. Ajahn Brahmavamso Mahathera at London Buddhist Vihara

A Dhamma Talk by Venerable Ajahn Brahmavamso Mahathera was held at the London Buddhist Vihara on Wednesday the 29th October.
This was the final sermon given in London by the erudite and well respected Mahathera during his recent visit to the UK.
Many who attended the programme had to squeeze in to the hall way of the temple, as the large auditorium, Shrine room and the adjoining meeting hall was filled to the capacity by a large number of Sri Lankan and European devotees of the Vihara and followers of the Mahathera who attended the sermon.

Although the sermon was scheduled for an hour Ven. Brahmavamso carried on delivering his enchanting and most educational sermon for more than two hours. At the end of the talk a lively question and answer session was also held.
