Maps to Awakening -Thanissaro Bhikkhu, September 2018The non-residential retreat with Thanissaro Bhikku (Ajahn Geoff) at Red Cedar Hall on September 8th and 9th was recorded. The sessions included many questions from the attendees, which could not be heard. The questions have been cut out and replaced by a short tone. Thanissaro's answers to the questions are left in, so the listener must infer the question from the response. Thanissaro used the suttas in this Maps to Awakening PDF document as the basis for the retreat.
