So unfortunate that people were made to believe Arya Ashtangika Magga cannot be followed among the household chores... We've heard from our childhood the stories of Anatha Pidika Situ thuma, Vishaka Upasikawa, etc. Did it ever occur to us what they had achieved? or the fact that we can follow suit?Personally I was blind to the aim of Dhamma until last year... And it never occurred to me before that all four Shrawaka groups of Sammasambuddha Gautama: Bikkhu, Bikkuni, Upasaka, and Upasika were following the same Path.Things are changing <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> with the revival we are seeing in practicing Dhamma.  Gone are the days (at least for the moment) when lay people were blind to Dhamma; when lay people were satisfied of hearing just the Jathaka Stories. How fortunate we are to be born in an era of revival of practicing Dhamma? Shouldn't we strive to make most of it? (because it may not last long and we might not live long...)Theruwan saranai!</blockquote>
