No need for a loudspeaker
In the workshop, Engineer Bhaskar Mhaske presented the following suggestions: Not to hold Dhamma programs outside the Vihars. Vandana is a private matter and there is no need for a loudspeaker for it; There should be a loudspeaker in the Vihars, but the sound should not be outside.
