                          Ajahn Guna will be teaching a new class by presenting documentaries on current issues through the framework of the Buddha's teachings. Dhamma reflections, chanting, scripture reading, discussion, and walking meditation will be used as spiritual tools to cultivate wisdom in relation to these modern issues related to our environment, culture, food, and assumptions.
