Synopsis

When trips to Vietnam, Taiwan and Thailand to study and share the Dhamma were cancelled due to Covid 19, Sarah Procter Abbot and husband Jonothan were delighted to assist Ajahn Sujin in offering zoom discussions which have been very beneficial to many people around the world.

The "Jottings" that Sarah made are based on these Zoom discussions.

These discussions are always about the understanding of what is real, what is Dhamma now, as taught by the Buddha. Without careful consideration of this truth, as opposed to our usual assumptions of the way things are, there will never be an end to ignorance in life.

Quotes have been added from the Buddhist scriptures to each "jotting" to show how these discussions relate to the original teachings of the Buddha.

This book is a shortened version of the book Understanding Life Now.
