  • AN 9.1 - The Pali word for “talk” here is “kathā”, where “talk” can mean either a one-way lecture, or a two-way conversation.

    “Furthermore, he gets to hear at will, easily & without difficulty, talk that is truly sobering & conducive to the opening of awareness, i.e., talk on modesty, on contentment, on seclusion, on non-entanglement, on arousing persistence, on virtue, on concentration, on discernment, on release, and on the knowledge & vision of release. This is the third prerequisite for the development of the wings to self-awakening”
