Hope the this is put online too. Unfortunately living in the american midwest is not conducive to live viewing most of Bhante’s speaking arrangements :frowning:

Just curious regarding the little statement on the top right hand corner of the poster…

“for non-muslims only”

Why would this be the case?

In some majority Muslim countries, it can be against the law to entice a Muslim person to convert to another religion, so often non-Muslim religious events will ask Muslim people not to attend. I am not sure it’s the case here, but seeing that it’s listed as in Malaysia, that might be the reason.

Is the talk’s title inspired by Gwendolyn Brooks by any chance?

The Pool Players.

Just a heads-up bhante @sujato, I think you meant to refer to the economics concept of marginal utility instead of opportunity cost in your comments about ice cream in the talk! :anjal:
