Good Behavior during Sermons

 

































Once, a Bikkhu (monk) was explaining Buddhist Sutras in the lecture hall.  Everyone listened attentively in complete silence. 

Just then, the Buddha arrived.  He waited quietly outside the door until the Dharma talk was over, not wishing to make a noise or create a disturbance. 

In the same way, when we listen to Dharma talks, sermons or prayers, we should pay attention, keep silent and not chatter with each other. (thesoulandyou.blogspot.com - Source: Thư Viện Hoa Sen)
