A Boat Sailing to Freedom

Luang Por Koon

On a rare visit to Cittaviveka, Ajahn Koon discusses the five khandas, explaining that when we regard them as a self, they become a burden, but if we are able to let go of them, there is freedom. He describes how the triple gem is a refuge, and likens the precepts to a boat that fills in the gaps of our experience and allows us to float and eventually sail to nibbana.
