Click below for the Dhamma Talks:
1) Kamma and Vipaka
2) Purification of Sila (Morality)
3) Purification of Citta (Mind)

The Zoom app Dhamma Talks (audio only, cleaned) are also there. It begins from 26 Purification of Citta - External Suitabilities to Guard the Meditation Objects delivered on 8 May 2020.
