the Venerable Mahamoggallana to the bhikkshus, fully ordained monks,
during the time of the Buddha. The venerable asked the bhikkshus the
following questions:

What are the qualities that make someone difficult to approach? And
What are the qualities that make someone easy to approach? Tomorrow,
Sister Dang Nghiem will share with us this deep teaching, help and
show us different ways on how we can apply it into our daily lives.
