A very nice short general presentation. Not any great depth but a nice overview. :slight_smile:

Thank you.

The chanting at the beginning is powerful, focusing and immersive…
…and it contrasts jarringly with the background music, which invites one to relaxed acceptance. I am guessing that the background music may have been an editorial addition? It sounds a bit odd in context. :upside_down_face:

It was quite informative to see old scriptures. I can’t understand them but can readily see the care and mindfulness of their creation and preservation.

This video also clarified my long-standing question about the “minor rules”. Apparently there are thousands of those (e.g. “close the door while napping”). :open_mouth:
