Hospitality | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | Welcoming Visiting Monks to Support Long Life of the Buddha's Teaching

There are 7 conditions to make the teaching of the Buddha last a long time. At the same time, they support our own individual meditative development:

  1. Reverence and deference to the Buddha
  2. Reverence and deference to the Dhamma
  3. Reverence and deference to the Sangha
  4. Reverence and deference to the training
  5. Reverence and deference to Samādhī
  6. Reverence and deference to Diligence
  7. Reverence and deference to Hospitality

    (Anguttara Nikāya/Numerical Discourses, Book of Sevens, #32 & #70)

As we have our first big event with visiting senior monks after a long time coming up, Ajahn Dhammasiha touches on the first six conditions only lightly. He focuses mostly on the last quality, Hospitality:

  • When we make a wholehearted effort to welcome visiting Ajahns with friendlines, respect, and deference, the Ajahn will reciprocate by teaching the Dhamma to us wholeheartedly and with inspiration.
  • Our own mind gains enthusiasm, joy and inspiration while we're doing all the preparations. The dedication we show with our hospitality has a purifying effect on our heart. The hindrances of sensual desire, aversion, sloth & torpor, restlessness and doubt are being suppressed. Our mind is bright and radiant in anticipation of the Dhamma we will here, and the meaningful ceremony we will all be conducting together.
  • The mendicant lifestyle of the Sangha is preserved and encouraged by hospitality. In a hospitable environment monks are more inclined to travel, which will support harmony, belonging and connectedness of the international sangha.
