The document is a speech given by Pra Rachapavanavigrom (Luang Por Liem Tâ„hitadhammo), the Abbot of Wat Nong Pah Pong, Ubon Rajathani, Thailand, at a conference of the Australian Sangha Association in 2006. The speech encourages following the footsteps of enlightened beings and practicing in accordance with their teachings in order to progress along the Buddhist path. It emphasizes practicing with wisdom, compassion, moderation, and learning from past masters.
This document is a summary of a Dhammatalk given by Venerable Luang Por Liem Thitadhammo after a ceremony of asking forgiveness. It contains the following key points:
1) The ceremony helps strengthen virtues and establish respectful conduct, which leads to peacefulness through sincere effort.
2) In the beginning of practice, we are like children living in darkness and experiencing both happiness and suffering as we have "dust in our eyes".
3) Within each person are seeds of goodness that can be nurtured so our virtues shine through, just as flames emerge from darkness. We must accept ourselves as works in progress.
Luang Por Liem provides Dhamma teachings from his visit to Australia in 2004. He discusses the need for gradual practice and adaptation. He explains that dukkha comes from both the body and mind, with mental dukkha arising from craving and wrong view. He notes that the constituents of life simply fall apart over time, leaving nothing that truly belongs to us. He compares the impermanence of life to melting snow. He describes the mind as a manifestation of mental phenomena that needs development and purification. With skillful development, the mind can become a beneficial resource.

1) Bees depend on divine inspiration to guide their lives, just as Muslims depend on revelation from God. Both fulfill important roles and responsibilities.
2) Bees and Muslims are hardworking, loyal, and contribute to societal well-being when seeking lawful sustenance. Muslims helped spread knowledge across civilizations.

AT&T Inc. posted a large quarterly loss as it took a $4 billion charge for its failed T-Mobile USA takeover bid, and the phone giant continued to lag rival Verizon Wireless in the race to add new subscribers.The carrier added 717,000 customers with long-term contracts in the fourth quarter, a 79% jump from a year earlier, on the strength of 7.6 million iPhone activations and 9.4 million smartphone sales overall.But AT&T is adding fewer new customers than rival Verizon Wireless, which added 1.2 million contract subscribers in the same period. Most of AT&T's iPhone and smartphone sales are going to existing subscribers.Excluding one-time items—notably the cost of handing over $3 billion in cash and $1 billion in wireless airwaves to T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom AG after the merger deal crumbled—AT&T posted a profit of 42 cents a share, down from 55 cents a year earlier.Experience WSJ professionalEditors' Deep Dive: Tech Titan Battle WatchWARREN'S CONSUMER ELECTRONICS DAILYVerizon Reports Loss, Eyes FiOS CompetitionPC MagazineHow AT&T's Spectrum Transfer Will Help T-Mobile CustomersWireless NewsSprint Enhances 3G Network in IndianapolisAccess thousands of business sources not available on the free web.

AT&T's 4G LTE network covers just over a third of the number of Americans as its competitor and is growing more reliant on Apple Inc.'s iPhone, which operates only on 3G networks, to draw long-term customers.Like Verizon, AT&T's wireless profit margins suffered due to high outlays for subsidizing the iPhone and other handsets upfront in exchange for two-year customer commitments. The carrier reported its wireless service margin, not including some expenses, fell to 28.7%, from 37.6%. The fourth-quarter margin was 23.7% at Verizon Wireless.MoreHeard on the Street: Old iPhones May Ring Bells Deal Journal: Breakup Fee Leads to Tax Break AT&T lifted average revenue per contract customer by seven cents to $63.76. That could rise further after AT&T lifted the price of data plans this month for new customers by $5, which it said was necessary to reflect higher average data usage.Late last year, AT&T walked away from its deal for T-Mobile after battling for nine months against resistance from the Justice Department, Federal Communications Commission, state attorneys general and some competitors. The companies said they would enter a seven-year roaming agreement and seek new ways to bolster their cellular networks.AT&T reported a loss of $6.68 billion, or $1.12 a share, compared with a profit of $1.09 billion, or 18 cents, a year earlier. Revenue jumped 3.6% to $32.5 billion, ahead of analyst expectations of $31.97 billion.Rival Verizon Communications Inc. on Tuesday reported its fourth-quarter revenue jumped 7.7% as its Verizon Wireless venture with Vodafone Group PLC added 1.2 million wireless-contract subscribers and added 1.5 million total subscribers.

25. Siam, or Thailand, is highly renowned all over the world for
being one of the countries where Buddhism is thriving and
flourishing. This is in part due to our ruler, His Majesty the King,
giving Royal patronage to the national religion. As a result,
Buddhism has flourished, especially in the areas of the study of
theoretical knowledge and Dhamma education.
Still, our country has not yet been able to present to the
world an acceptable example of somebody who has gained the
highest spiritual fruits of Buddhism. Having emphasized the
spreading of theoretical knowledge, we have yet to take the next
