Some teachers, including most monastics, have placed their talks in the public domain, so even the modest restrictions above do not apply. This is an act of trust by those making these talks
available as an offering, not an invitation to take any particular action. We ask that you keep in mind that treating these talks as precious Dharma teachings is itself a valuable practice of
