Most Ven. Ellawala Vijithananda Maha Thero conducted a three days long meditation retreat in Perth, Australia during February 2018. This retreat was special as it specifically highlighted a methodology to the lay followers to achieve the state of Sotāpanna (Stream Enterer of the Noble Path).

The following recordings are invaluable specifically due to the following key reasons;

• The lord Buddha clearly stated about four types of followers who could achieve the fruits of the Noble Path. They are the Monks, Nuns, Lay male followers and Lay female followers. The Buddha didn’t expect the laity to renounce the household life completely to the level of the monks and nuns. The Buddha clearly explained a methodology of practice specifically to the laity. That methodology is  explained here.
• The importance of Sila or morality is clearly explained aligning it to the finer aspects of the overall practice.
• The talks and discussions are complete with a lot of practical advice and wisdom relevant to both the beginner level and the ‘advanced’ level.

The following two brief Clips are provided as examples to show the invaluable quality of the practical advice relevant to the ‘advanced’ practitioners.

• ථිනමිද්ධයේ සමාධි ලීලාව.
• හඳුනාගැනීමට අමාරු දරුණු විදර්ශනා උපක්ලේශයක්.
