The Buddha spoke to everybody, from homeless wanderers to kings. So when King Ajatassattu wants to go to war against the Vajjian people, he asks the Buddha\'s advice! In this engaging talk, Vajratara unpacks the Buddha\'s reply, as he explains the \'seven things\' which should be in place in order for a society to prosper and not decline. How might this teaching be interpreted in modern day terms, and what can it tell us about how we can help the dharma spread through society as a whole?

This talk was given at Bristol Buddhist Centre, 2017.
